We conducted physicochemical analyses in water, phytotoxicity tests on plants (Triticum aestivum, Pennisetum glaucum, Lactuca sativa, Raphanus sativus), cytogenotoxicity tests using onion roots (Allium cepa), and Artemia salina immobilization tests. Elevated Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), anionic surfactants, and ammoniacal nitrogen were found at P3 and P4. While germination rates were generally unaffected, P4 inhibited the germination speed of R. sativus. The growth of L. sativa increased in P3 and P4, and of R. sativus in P2, due to more nitrogen and phosphorus. T. aestivum and P. glaucum, however, had their growth inhibited at P4 due to surfactant toxicity. Cytogenotoxicity tests revealed the highest frequencies of micronuclei and nuclear buds in cells exposed to P3 and P4. Additionally, P3 caused 87.5% immobilization of A. salina. These findings suggest that the WWTP is not fully efficient, and its effluent discharge may contribute to eutrophication and genetic mutations in exposed organisms.","PeriodicalId":15671,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Health Part A-toxic\\/hazardous Substances & Environmental Engineering","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143536719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oxidative stress markers demonstrated increased lipid peroxidation, Fenton's Oxidative Stress, and Oxidative Stress Index (P < 0.05), along with reduced antioxidant enzyme activities, including Catalase, Superoxide Dismutase, Total Antioxidant Capacity, and Glutathione Peroxidase. Hematological analysis showed elevated White Blood Cells, Lymphocyte percentage, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, Mean Corpuscular Volume, and Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (P < 0.05), reflecting systemic inflammation.

The established direct-injection method was not only simple to perform but also had better sensitivity, shorter detection times, and analyzed more KET-based ECs than currently published methods, meeting the requirements for the monitoring and high-throughput analysis of common KET-based ECs.

The types of ARG in the top ten of these samples were the same, although the proportion was different. Dominant ARG subtypes accounted for more than 50% of all the nine samples.

The aim of this study was to elucidate the mechanism of removal of E. coli by employing a cube-shaped polyurethane sponge carrier within a compact hanging reactor. An E. coli removal experiment was conducted on this prepared sponge. Escherichia. coli level was found to decrease by more than 2 logs after passing through five nutrient-restricted DHS sponges. Conversely, a newly introduced sponge did not exhibit a comparable reduction in E. coli level. Furthermore, under conditions of optimal nutritional status, the reduction in E. coli level was limited to 0.5 logs, underscoring the crucial role of nutrient restriction in achieving effective elimination. Analysis of the sponge-associated bacterial community revealed the presence of a type VI secretion system (T6SS), a competitive mechanism observed in bacteria. This finding suggests that T6SS might play a pivotal role in contributing to the observed decline in E. coli level.","PeriodicalId":15671,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Health Part A-toxic\\/hazardous Substances & Environmental Engineering","volume":" ","pages":"295-304"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141874987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
