Analyzing microplastics released into saliva from 5 natural and 5 synthetic chewing gums, we found that each gram of chewing gum could release up to 637 microplastics, and 94 % of microplastics were released within the first 8 min of chewing. Surprisingly, synthetic chewing gum released a similar (p &gt; 0.8) number of microplastics as natural or plant-based chewing gums. Microplastics released from the chewing gums were predominantly small, with a median size of 45.4 µm. Both of the chewing gum types released four types of plastic polymers—polyolefins, polyterephthalates (PET), polyacrylamides, and polystyrenes,— among which polyolefins were the most abundant. The result reveals that chewing gum consumption, irrespective of the type of chewing gums, could result in direct ingestion of microplastics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":93463,"journal":{"name":"Journal of hazardous materials letters","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100164"},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145157419","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}

PFAS concentrations in biosolids vary widely between countries and wastewater treatment plants. Inconsistent monitoring and testing protocols hinder accurate assessment and comparison across sites. The fragmented regulatory landscape, with diverse thresholds and evolving requirements, complicates compliance and long-term planning for water utilities, challenging infrastructure investment. A key issue is lack of proven, scalable PFAS treatment technologies for municipal wastewater plants. Current solutions often lack performance, cost-effectiveness, and practicality at scale. Utilities face financial burdens for monitoring and remediation while balancing other priorities, like managing emerging contaminants and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from energy-intensive processes. Effective source control to limit PFAS entry into wastewater systems is critical and cost-effective. Integrated strategies targeting multiple pollutants can optimize investments. Clear, science-based regulatory standards for PFAS in biosolids are urgently needed to guide compliance.

To investigate the nature of this mesophilic activity, we conducted metagenomics analysis to reveal the microbial composition and enzyme-coding potential associated with PLA biodegradation. These efforts revealed multiple enzyme subtypes with strong enrichment on PLA surfaces in our trained composts, and the top candidate was a type of hydro-lyase, an enzyme that can cleave ester bonds in the absence of water.

This study investigates the arsenic (As)-induced changes in dynamics of proteome, sulfur metabolism, antioxidant enzymes and changes in stress tolerance mechanisms in <em>Trigonella foenum-graecum</em> under different concentrations. Hydroponically grown 30-day-old plants were exposed to 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 µM As for 10 days. The results showed increased oxidative stress and reduced growth at higher As concentrations. Enzymes related to thiol metabolism, including ATP sulfurylase and serine acetyltransferase, were significantly upregulated at 50 and 100 µM As, alongside increased cysteine and glutathione content linked to the upregulation of S-deficiency-induced 2 isoform X2 protein. Antioxidant enzymes (SOD, APX, CAT, GR, GPX, and GST) also exhibited enhanced activity. Proteomic analysis revealed 46 differentially expressed protein spots, including proteins involved in growth and photosynthesis, such as gibberellin 20-oxidase and RuBisCO. Defence proteins like trehalose phosphate phosphatase, calmodulin, and pectinesterase were upregulated, aiding stress tolerance. Sulfur metabolism proteins, such as glutathione S-transferase, were activated to counteract oxidative stress. Metallothioneins (MTs) were notably upregulated, contributing to arsenic detoxification. Transport proteins, including ABC transporters and ATP synthase beta subunits seems to play important roles in arsenic resistance. Additionally, proteins involved in protein degradation and redox balance, such as the RING finger protein and selenoprotein W1, supported the plant's adaptive response.
