Field measurements were conducted from 1 December 2022, to 17 April 2023, focusing on VOC concentrations and speciations, diurnal variations, ozone formation potential (OFP), source identification, and associated health risks. The results revealed an average total VOC (TVOC) concentration of 15.9 ± 12.9 ppb and an average OFP of 90.1 ± 109.5 μg m<sup>-3</sup>. Alkanes constituted the largest fraction of VOCs, accounting for 44.1%, while alkenes emerged as the primary contributors to OFP, comprising 52.8%. TVOC concentrations peaked before dawn, a pattern attributed to early morning industrial activities and nighttime heavy vehicle operations. During periods classified as clean, when ozone levels were below 160 μg m<sup>-3</sup>, both TVOC (15.9 ± 12.9 ppb) and OFP (90.4 ± 110.0 μg m<sup>-3</sup>) concentrations were higher than those during polluted hours. The analysis identified the key sources of VOC emissions, including automobile exhaust, oil and gas evaporation, and industrial discharges, with additional potential pollution sources identified in adjacent regions. Health risk assessments indicated that acrolein exceeded the non-carcinogenic risk threshold at specific times. Moreover, trichloromethane, 1,3-butadiene, 1,2-dichloroethane, and benzene were found to surpass the acceptable lifetime carcinogenic risk level (1 × 10<sup>-6</sup>) during certain periods. These findings highlight the urgent need for enhanced monitoring and regulatory measures aimed at mitigating VOC emissions and protecting public health in industrial areas. In the context of complex air pollution in urban industrial areas, policymakers should focus on controlling industrial and vehicle emissions, which can not only reduce secondary pollution, but also inhibit the harm of toxic substances on human health.</p>","PeriodicalId":23195,"journal":{"name":"Toxics","volume":"12 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11679105/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142955646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the long-term effects of chronic low-level melamine exposure remain inadequately explored. This study introduces THE ONE InstantCare platform, a portable immunoassay analyzer integrating a SpectroChip-based spectral processing unit (SPU) with lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) for sensitive and accurate quantification of melamine in human urine. This platform provides a cost-effective, rapid, and user-friendly point-of-care (POC) solution for melamine detection. Analytical evaluations across eight melamine concentrations (0-100 parts per billion, ppb) achieved a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.91 ppb. Validation with 24 human urine samples demonstrated strong concordance with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), yielding an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.9220, a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.9389, and 95% agreement in Bland-Altman analysis. High reproducibility was observed, with an intraday coefficient of variation (CV) of 6.53% and acceptable interday CV values, while interference studies confirmed reliability in the presence of common biological substances. By delivering results in approximately 10 min, THE ONE InstantCare platform significantly reduces analysis time compared to LC-MS, which typically requires several hours. This novel platform enhances food safety surveillance and advances human health risk assessments, particularly for evaluating melamine-linked kidney damage. Its versatility and robust performance make it a promising tool for environmental monitoring and clinical diagnostics, enabling the detection of diverse biomarkers with high sensitivity and reproducibility.</p>","PeriodicalId":23195,"journal":{"name":"Toxics","volume":"12 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11679044/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142955545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its exposure has been associated with an increased risk of hepatic lesions; however, the underlying mechanisms and the spectrum of its effects remain poorly understood. This study investigates the role of the Keap1-Nrf2 signaling pathway in regulating BPA-induced hepatotoxicity in vivo using a rat model. Over a 30-day period, rats were orally administered either corn oil or BPA (0.5, 5, and 50 mg/kg). Changes in hepatic and kidney histology were assessed via transmission electron microscopy and HE staining. Oxidative stress levels in the liver tissue and serum were quantified, while the mRNA expression of <i>Nrf2</i>, <i>Keap1</i>, <i>GPX2</i>, <i>HO-1</i>, and <i>caspase-3</i> was evaluated using qRT-PCR. Additionally, the expression of Nrf2 and cleaved caspase-3 in the liver tissue was measured through immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Results indicated that BPA exposure significantly reduced the liver and adrenal coefficients in the treated rats compared to controls. Notable histomorphological alterations were observed in the liver and kidney tissues of the BPA-treated rats. The serum levels of GOT and TNF-α were significantly elevated in the BPA group relative to the controls. Evidence of oxidative stress was supported by increased malondialdehyde levels and decreased total superoxide dismutase activity in the liver and kidney, alongside a reduction in glutathione peroxidase activity in the liver tissue. Furthermore, BPA exposure enhanced the mRNA expression levels of <i>Nrf2</i>, <i>Keap1</i>, <i>GPX2</i>, <i>HO-1</i>, and <i>caspase-3</i> in the liver tissue. Concurrently, Nrf2 and cleaved caspase-3 expression levels were elevated in the BPA-treated group compared to the controls. These findings suggest that BPA may contribute to metabolic disorders of liver function and poses a hepatotoxicity risk. Moreover, the activation of the Keap1-Nrf2 pathway may offer protective effects against hepatotoxicity, with potential implications for human liver disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":23195,"journal":{"name":"Toxics","volume":"12 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11678961/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142955518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
