While animal studies using high doses of individual OPFRs have demonstrated hepatotoxicity, evidence of hepatic effects from chronic and low-dose exposure to OPFRs in humans is scarce, and the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, we evaluated the association between urinary metabolites of OPFRs (mOPFRs) and liver function biomarkers in a population aged 1–79 years from the Guangzhou Human Biomonitoring Program. Urinary concentrations of diphenyl phosphate exhibited a significant decreasing trend with increasing age across four age groups (≤12, 13–17, 17–59, ≥60 years), while bis(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate concentrations showed a significant positive association with age. Urinary mOPFRs were positively associated with alanine aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, and aspartate aminotransferase, and negatively associated with indirect bilirubin levels. Urinary mOPFRs were significantly correlated with total bilirubin, which was consistent with that observed in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database, while other associations were inconsistent. Moreover, we evaluated the roles of inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in the association between urinary mOPFRs and liver function biomarkers by mediation analysis. The results demonstrated that the mediation effects of inflammatory markers were consistent with the total and direct effects of mOPFRs on liver function biomarkers, whereas the mediation effects of oxidative stress markers were discrepant. Inflammation likely exacerbates the adverse effects of OPFRs on liver function, while oxidative stress may play a protective role. We further searched the comparative toxicogenomics database for genes associated with OPFRs and liver function biomarkers to understand the potential regulatory mechanisms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"375 ","pages":"Article 126300"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143862815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

By employing stable-isotope probing and high-throughput sequencing, we comprehensively assessed these processes. In our study, the results demonstrate that both <em>Aspergillus fumigatus</em> LJD-29 and Tween 80 significantly enhanced the degradation efficiency of phenanthrene and modified the microbial community composition, particularly among active degraders. Extracellular enzymes were identified as key players in the phenanthrene transformation process. Tween 80 improved the bioavailability of phenanthrene, stimulating the growth of native PAH degraders, with <em>Pseudonocardia</em> emerging as a prominent genus. Although the combined surfactant-fungal treatment did not substantially increase terminal degradation efficiency due to limitations in phenanthrene bioavailability, it accelerated the degradation rate. Additionally, Tween 80 helped restore the microbial community structure disrupted by fungal bioaugmentation.

It is essential to determine the primary sources of fecal contamination and accurately evaluate the health risks for the propagation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) from the intestinal microbiota. In this research, the occurrence, sources and potential hosts of ARGs in urban environmental samples collected from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), natural water bodies, tap water and farmland soil were comprehensively investigated. Host-associated fecal indicators for general warm-blooded animals (BacGeneral), humans (crAssphage), and other animals (bovines and swine) were employed for reliable microbial source tracking (MST). Results showed that the fecal indicator BacGeneral was detected in 84.00 % of collected environmental samples, indicating the widespread fecal contamination in local water and farmland. The WWTP was the reservoir and main source of fecal contamination in local environment, harboring the highest total abundances of ARGs (3.85 ± 2.72 ARGs/16S rRNA) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) (0.32 ± 0.12 MGEs/16S rRNA) from multiple animals and humans. Although the swine-associated indicator was undetected, fecal contamination from both bovines and humans was prevalent in collected samples, with detection rates of pollution indicators at 52.00 % for bovine and 28.00 % for human sources. The co-occurrence of ARGs, fecal indicators and MGEs was analyzed, and significant correlation (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.01) between total ARG abundance and fecal indicator (BacGeneral) in contaminated environments demonstrated that fecal pollution exhibited a great influence on overall resistome in local environment.

Effective management of nitrogen pollution in water bodies is predicated on clarifying N export loads under different pathways in the watershed, as well as the contributions of different sources. Here, this study proposes an integrated framework that introduces multiple stable isotope techniques (δD-H₂O, δ¹⁸O-H₂O, δ¹⁵N-NO₃^- and δ¹⁸O-NO₃^-) based on the coupled Eckhardt's digital baseflow filter (ECK) and load estimation model (LOADEST). The integrated approach was applied for the first time in a typical plateau watershed in southwest China. Results showed that baseflow as the Fengyu River watershed (FRW) major hydrologic pathway, provides 69.6 % of the mean annual stream flow and 59.1 % of the mean annual NO₃⁻-N load. Furthermore, the FRW average annual TN and NO₃⁻-N export is 94.0 t and 55.1 t, respectively. The NO₃⁻-N was the primary form of N pollutant, with its average concentration in groundwater being 7 times that in river water. In groundwater, manure and sewage (M&amp;S) and soil nitrogen (SN) contribution rates to NO₃⁻-N 53.6 %, and 37.2 %, respectively. While the river water shows low M&amp;S (26.8 %) and high SN (61.5 %) characteristics. It can be seen that the baseflow is a key pathway for coupled water-nitrogen export from plateau agricultural watersheds. Blocking the migration of nitrogen-containing pollutants to groundwater is an important measure to control the degradation of the water environment in plateau watersheds from the root cause.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"374 ","pages":"Article 126292"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143860593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

This study integrated pH and conductivity online monitoring probes with machine learning algorithms to develop a real-time, automated heavy metal prediction system for groundwater.
