Females, older individuals, overweight or obese individuals, and those with low education attainment, low income, or cardiometabolic morbidities had higher HRs associated with pollutants.

Environmental MPs are a complex mixture of polymers and sorbed chemicals that are persistent and can exhibit a wide range of toxic effects. Since human exposure to MPs is unavoidable, it is necessary to characterize their bioactivity to assess potential health risks. This work seeks to quantify MP presence in the nearshore waters of Lake Ontario and begin to characterize the bioactivity of the filtrate containing MPs. We utilized silicon nitride (SiN) nanomembrane technology to isolate debris sized between 8 and 20 μm from lake water samples collected at various times and locations. MPs were identified with Nile red staining. Cell-based assays were conducted directly on the filtered debris to test for cell viability, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activity, and interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels as a measure of proinflammatory response. All samples contained MPs. None of the isolated debris impacted cell viability. However, AhR activity and IL-6 levels varied over time. Additionally, no associations were observed between the amount of plastic and bioactivity. Observed differences in activity are likely due to variations in the physiochemical properties of debris between samples. Our results highlight the need for increased sampling to fully characterize the bioactivity of MPs in human cells and to elucidate the role that sample physiochemical and spatiotemporal properties play in this activity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":29813,"journal":{"name":"Eco-Environment & Health","volume":"3 3","pages":"Pages 347-354"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772985024000450/pdfft?md5=29bd23b5241cc8c21143e08879295925&pid=1-s2.0-S2772985024000450-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142083329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prevalence and effects of MP biofilms in aquatic environments have been extensively investigated in recent decades, and their behaviors in aquatic environments need to be synthesized systematically with updated information. This review aims to reveal the development of MP biofilm and its interactions with antibiotics, ARGs, and pathogens in aquatic environments. Recent research has shown that the adsorption capabilities of MPs to antibiotics are enhanced after the biofilm formation, and the adsorption of biofilms to antibiotics is biased towards chemisorption. ARGs and microorganisms, especially pathogens, are selectively enriched in biofilms and significantly different from those in surrounding waters. MP biofilm promotes the propagation of ARGs through horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and vertical gene transfer (VGT) and induces the emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens, resulting in increased threats to aquatic ecosystems and human health. Some future research needs and strategies in this review are also proposed to better understand the antibiotic resistance induced by MP biofilms in aquatic environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":29813,"journal":{"name":"Eco-Environment & Health","volume":"3 4","pages":"Pages 516-528"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141138273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fluorescent dyes and lanthanum (La)-labeled kaolin particles demonstrated that wheat surpassed lettuce in kaolin uptake in hydroponics, but both plants showed similar levels of particles in the shoots.

The transfer efficiencies and the binding affinities of most PFAS to proteins exhibited alkyl chain length-dependent patterns. Furthermore, we comprehensively assessed the estimated daily intakes (EDIs) of PFAS in breastfeeding infants of different age groups and used the hazard quotient (HQ) to characterize the potential health risk.
