The <em>in vitro</em> cytotoxic potential of hydramethylnon in PEG was 10–17 fold (in A549) or 12–14 fold (in dTHP-1) higher than that of hydramethylnon in PLE, and greater than 370 fold (in A549) or 65–169 fold (in dTHP-1) higher than that in water. PEG toxicity increased due to the micellar formulation of hydramethylnon in PEG, increasing cellular uptake by simple diffusion. Therefore, the observed potentiation effect highlights that the combination effect of formulation of hydrophobic compounds with dispersants should be carefully evaluated.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":308,"journal":{"name":"Environment International","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 109307"},"PeriodicalIF":10.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143050172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Specifically, the directive requires the identification of Radon Priority Areas to facilitate remediation in regions with high Rn levels. The regulation also includes measures for radiation protection, aiming to safeguard the population collectively and individuals from Rn exposure. These two requirements can be conceptualised and translated into two complementary concepts: collective and individual risk.

It provides the first approach to transitioning from collective to individual risk areas (CRAs to IRAs), offering clear insights into the application of European Rn protection regulations.

We performed adjusted mixed effects regressions for each cytokine against PFOS and PFOA followed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) on specific cytokine subsets selected via the prior regressions. Among 3448 neonates (2280 singletons and 1168 twins), significant cytokines were dominated by cytokines negatively associated with the given PFAS. Adjusted single-pollutant models with continuous log-transformed PFOA showed significant negative associations with IL-16 (−0.07, 95% CI: −0.3, −0.1), IL-5 (−0.05, 95%CI: −0.09, −0.02), IL-6 (−0.06, 95%CI: −0.1, −0.02), 6-Ckine (0.06, 95% CI: −0.10, −0.02) and significant positive associations with IL-1α (0.066, 95%CI: 0.03, 0.11), MCP-1 (0.06, 95%CI: 0.03, 0.10). Estimates for PFOS were slightly larger than estimates for PFOA but only significant for 6-Ckine (−0.21, 95%CI: −0.09, −0.33) after correction for multiplicity. Our data consistently suggest that legacy PFAS exposures are associated with disrupted, typically reduced, cytokine levels in neonates, with PFOA exposure resulting in more significant differences in individual cytokines and cytokine groupings than PFOS. Regression by PFAS quartile shows evidence of nonlinear dose–response relationships for most cytokines and cytokine groupings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":308,"journal":{"name":"Environment International","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 109288"},"PeriodicalIF":10.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142986820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}
