We propose a new paradigm, as toxicology currently lacks the proper perspective. From the 1950s to the 1970s, at least one-third of all toxicological testing in the United States, including for chemicals and drugs, was misleading scientists, and this worldwide issue persists today. Moreover, petr ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are increasingly integrated into Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) research; however, the field remains fragmented with substantial variation in modeling objectives. This review provides one of the most comprehensive and detailed syntheses to date of AI/ML methods across the PFAS contaminatio ...

Substituted diphenylamine antioxidants (SDPAs) and synthetic phenolic antioxidants (SPAs), widely used in rubber and consumer products, pose growing environmental concerns. This study evaluated the occurrence and release of 43 SDPAs and 4 SPAs in raw leachate and treated effluent from 18 municipal landfills across China. Results showed 17 SDPAs and 1 SPA ...

Synthetic antioxidants (SAs), a group of emerging contaminants, have attracted great attention recently due to their widespread environmental occurrence and potential toxicity. Yet, there is a knowledge gap regarding their occurrence and associated infant exposure in baby wipes, one of the most frequently used baby products. Here, we analyzed SAs-includin ...

Air pollution is closely associated with increased lung cancer incidence and mortality. Because many semi-volatile industrial chemicals, pesticides and combustion by-products are endocrine-disrupting or genotoxic, their mixtures in outdoor urban air, even at trace levels, could have cumulative ef ...

The bioavailability and fate of pesticides in soil are largely influenced by soil's sorption characteristics. Therefore, the adsorption of pesticides, like glyphosate (GBH), onto soil natural organic matter (NOM) was investigated in this study. With the aid of sequential treatment methods of agricultural soil, NOM was modified to yield demineralized m ...

Organophosphate esters (OPEs) have emerged as a global environmental and health concern due to their persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic (PBT) properties. Recently, their precursors-organophosphite antioxidants (OPAs)-and transformation products, which may exhibit greater persistence and toxicity, have gained attention as critical contributors to OPE-r ...

Transformed from p-phenylenediamines (PPDs) antioxidant, PPD-derived quinones (PPD-Qs) have recently been recognized as emerging contaminants due to their potential negative impacts on the environment and human health. While there have been measurements of airborne PPD-Qs, the size distribution of PPD-Qs and the impact of particle size on PPD transformati ...
