Forests are also spatially highly heterogeneous ecosystems that comprise a multitude of microbial-mediated reactive interfaces. These are mainly the root–soil interface, litter–soil interface, root–root interface, and plant–atmosphere interface. Each of these interfaces has its own unique characteristics, e.g., specific drivers that affect the microbial abundance, nutrient availability, microbial community, and the dominance of certain microbial taxa. Here, we review the microbial-mediated reactive interfaces in forests, focusing on interrelation and dynamics of fungi and bacteria on a broad temporal scale with ecosystem processes ranging from short-term events (e.g., seasonal changes) to long-term stand development suffering a global climate change (e.g., global warming or nitrogen deposition). We argue that in-depth knowledge of forest microbiology can only be obtained by exploring the complex forest microbiome and its ecosystem functions. Underpinning the basis for individual forest variation would ultimately facilitate the formulation of microbiome-based strategies in the future.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":29813,"journal":{"name":"Eco-Environment & Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49703780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electroactive microorganisms (EMs) and degradable microorganisms (DMs) play vital roles in bioenergy production and the degradation of organic pollutants hazardous to human health. These microorganisms can strongly interact with other microorganisms and promote metabolic cooperation, thus facilitating electricity production and pollutant degradation. In this review, we describe several specific types of EMs and DMs based on their ability to adapt to different environments, and summarize the mechanism of EMs in extracellular electron transfer. The effects of interactions between EMs and DMs are evaluated in terms of electricity production and degradation efficiency. The principle of the enhancement in microbial consortia is also introduced, such as improved biomass, changed degradation pathways, and biocatalytic potentials, which are directly or indirectly conducive to human health.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":29813,"journal":{"name":"Eco-Environment & Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49703812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adverse effects can be exacerbated under UV irradiation but are rarely studied. In this study, to clearly understand the damage of representative PCPs to human skin and their photochemical transformation behaviors, fragrance tonalide (AHTN) was measured in the presence of amino acids as a basic building block of human tissue. The results showed that amino acids could decelerate the photochemical transformation rate of AHTN, increasing the likelihood of AHNT persisting on the skin surface and the health risk to the human being. Further, the interaction between amino acids and AHTN was investigated. AHTN could play bidirectional roles in damaging amino acids: the photosensitizer and reactive activator. As a photosensitizer, the ¹O₂ generated from the AHTN photosensitization was partly employed to oxidative damage amino acids. Furthermore, by combining experiments with quantum chemical computation, the carbonyl group of the activator AHTN was found to be the active site to activate the N-containing group of amino acids. The activation mechanism was the electron transfer between AHTN and amino acids. Imines formed during the photochemical transformation of AHTN with histidine/glycine were the molecular initiating event for potential skin sensitization. This study reported for the first time that skin photosensitizer formation threatens human health during the photochemical transformation of AHTN.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":29813,"journal":{"name":"Eco-Environment & Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49704085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate the associations between all criteria air pollutants and hospitalization of cause-specific cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in China. We obtained data on CVD hospitalization events of four major categories and 12 specific diseases from 153 hospitals distributed in 20 provincial-level regions from 2013 to 2020. We adopted a time-stratified case-crossover study design using individual cases to capture the effect of short-term exposure to six criteria air pollutants on CVD hospitalizations, using conditional logistic regression models. More than 1.1 million CVD hospitalization events were included. The lag pattern exploration demonstrated the largest effect for six air pollutants on lag 0–1 day. PM_2.5, PM₁₀, NO₂, and CO were significantly associated with increased hospitalization from ischemic heart diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, other heart diseases, and five specific causes of CVD. The effect estimates of NO₂ were the most robust when adjusting for co-pollutants. The concentration-response curves were positive and linear for most pollutant–endpoint pairs (except for O₃), and these positive associations remained even below the 24-h levels recommended by WHO Air Quality Guidelines and China Air Quality Standards. This nationwide case-crossover study in China demonstrated that short-term exposure to multiple ambient air pollutants may significantly increase the risk of cause-specific CVD hospitalizations even under the most stringent air quality regulations, striking an alert for potential CVD patients against these environmental risk factors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":29813,"journal":{"name":"Eco-Environment & Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772985022000357/pdfft?md5=5c8caf7cf8e3d883c9ac7cbb53f64997&pid=1-s2.0-S2772985022000357-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91662665","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}

In this study, we determined nine BDGEs in 106 paired maternal and cord serum samples collected from e-waste dismantling sites in South of China. Bisphenol A bis (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) glycidyl ether (BADGE·2H₂O), bisphenol A (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) glycidyl ether (BADGE·HCl·H₂O), and bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (BFDGE) were the major BDGEs, with median concentrations of 0.57, 4.07, and 1.60 ng/mL, respectively, in maternal serum, and of 3.58, 5.61, and 0.61 ng/mL, respectively, in cord serum. The transplacental transfer efficiencies (TTEs) were estimated for BDGEs found in samples, and median values were in the range of 0.98 (BFDGE) to 5.91 (BADGE·2H₂O). Our results suggested that passive diffusion plays a role in the placental transfer of BADGE·HCl·H₂O and BFDGE, whereas several mechanisms contribute to the high accumulation of BADGE·2H₂O in cord serum. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated significant associations between maternal serum concentrations of BDGEs and blood clinical biomarkers, especially those related to liver injuries, such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and adenosine deaminase (ADA) (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). To our knowledge, this is the first study to report the occurrence of BDGEs in paired maternal–fetal serum samples and provide new insights into prenatal and fetal exposures.
