Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by stressed bacteria serve as protected, long-range vectors for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), yet whether sweetener diversity modulates this pathway has never been tested. Here we show that increasing artificial-sweetener diversity dramatically enriches ARGs, virulence factors and mobile genetic elements inside soil-derived Evs, driving compositional shifts in 30.5% of EV-associated genera while leaving the bulk microbiome largely undisturbed. EVs originate from a small, fast-growing Pseudomonadota subset that upregulates vesicle-biogenesis genes in response to oxidative and membrane stress; these vesicles selectively package chromosomal resistance traits and transfer phenotypic resistance to recipient <em>Escherichia coli</em>. This stress-induced decoupling reveals EVs as rapid, hidden mediators of resistome mobilization that community-level surveys miss.

Polystyrene nanoplastics (PS) can adsorb hydrophobic organics like the antioxidant N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD), acting as vectors that increase tissue accumulation and exacerbate oxidative stress, while 6PPD alone disrupts mitochondrial function and induces sublethal effects in exposed organisms. The vertebrate eye, with its direct environmental exposure and sensitive neural structures, is particularly vulnerable, yet the combined impact of PS and 6PPD on visual morphogenesis remains underexplored. Here we show that co-exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of PS (1 mg L<sup>−1</sup>) and 6PPD (0.1–0.8 mg L<sup>−1</sup>) markedly potentiates ocular toxicity compared to individual exposures, manifesting as myopia-like malformations, increased cell death, and impaired phototaxis. We integrated phenotypic, histological, and multi-omics analyses using zebrafish embryos as a model. Our results show PS-enhanced bioaccumulation of 6PPD in ocular tissues, leading to severe lens and retinal damage, aberrant vascularization, disrupted myelination, and dysregulated pathways including serine proteolysis, retinoic acid metabolism, and ferroptosis-linked oxidative stress.

These systems face an emerging challenge in balancing the increasing demands of water security with international climate mitigation goals. To combat water scarcity, many regions have transitioned toward energy-intensive water sources such as inter-basin water transfer and desalination, which significantly increase electricity-dependent indirect emissions. Concurrently, the global shift toward clean energy in electricity generation has provided a crucial mechanism for mitigating these emissions. However, the complex interactions among shifting water-source mixes, energy transitions, and socioeconomic drivers remain poorly understood, often obscuring the effectiveness of decarbonization strategies. Existing quantification frameworks frequently overlook the spatial spillover effects of economic development and the risk that new water security strategies will offset decarbonization gains. Here we show that China's carbon emissions from water-supply processes rose to 228 Mt CO<sub>2</sub> yr<sup>−1</sup> by 2022, despite initial declines driven by clean energy expansion. Using a three-stage quantification–decomposition–attribution framework, we find that while economic development generally suppresses emission in neighboring regions via technology diffusion, it exhibits a national U-shaped relationship with carbon output. Crucially, central China displays an inverted U-shaped pattern, suggesting a localized risk of high-carbon lock-in as industries and water demands shift. These findings reveal a critical paradox in the water–energy–carbon nexus where water security measures may inadvertently undermine climate targets.

While the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) framework provides a mechanistic scaffold for organizing toxicity knowledge, it is currently limited by a focus on linear pathways and a bias toward well-studied endpoints. Conversely, the exposome paradigm captures broad environmental stressors but often lacks the mechanistic depth required for causal interpretation. A fundamental challenge remains in developing integrative paradigms that can systematically bridge these multi-scale datasets to decode complex, chemical-induced diseases. Here we show that AOP-ExpoVis, an integrative computational platform, synergizes exposome-disease networks with AOP ontologies to prioritize pathogenic mechanisms through a weighted phenotype-disease scoring algorithm. By integrating chemical, gene, phenotype, and disease associations, the platform identifies key phenotypes and maps them to curated pathways to generate testable mechanistic hypotheses. Validation across three distinct case studies involving 2,2′,4,4′-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47), arsenic, and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) demonstrated that AOP-ExpoVis accurately identifies both conserved and chemical-specific toxic pathways, such as aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation and lipid metabolism disruption.
