Pharmaceutically active compounds removal from aqueous solutions by MIL-101(Cr)-NH < sub > 2 < /sub > : A molecular dynamics study
This study investigates the potential of MIL-101(Cr)-NH2 as a preferable and more effective adsorbent for the adsorption and removal of pharmaceutically active compounds from aqueous solutions. By utilizing its large porosity, high specific surface area, and high stability, the structural and transport properties of three pharmaceutically active compounds naproxen (NAP), diclofenac (DIC) and sulfamethoxazole (SMX)) studied using molecular dynamics simulation. The results indicate that the MIL-101(Cr)-NH2 adsorbent is suitable for removing drug molecules from aqueous solutions, with maximum adsorption capacities of 697.75 m...

Chronic lead poisoning-induced budgerigar liver damage, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and metabolic disorder
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2024 May 2;278:116388. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116388. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBirds are sensitive to heavy metal pollution, and lead (Pb) contamination can negatively affect their liver and gut. Therefore, we used budgerigars to examine liver and gut toxicosis caused by Pb exposure in bird, and the possible toxic mechanisms. The findings showed Pb exposure increased liver weight and decreased body weight. Moreover, histopathological and immunofluorescence assay results demonstrated obvious liver damage and cell apoptosis increased in Pb- treated budgerigars. Quantitative polymerase chain r...

Comprehensive review of emerging contaminants: Detection technologies, environmental impact, and management strategies
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2024 May 2;278:116420. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116420. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEmerging contaminants (ECs) are a diverse group of unregulated pollutants increasingly present in the environment. These contaminants, including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, endocrine disruptors, and industrial chemicals, can enter the environment through various pathways and persist, accumulating in the food chain and posing risks to ecosystems and human health. This comprehensive review examines the chemical characteristics, sources, and varieties of ECs. It critically evaluates the current understa...

Cadmium phytoremediation potential of Houttuynia cordata: Insights from growth, uptake, and rhizosphere mechanisms
This study examined the potential of Houttuynia cordata for Cd phytoremediation because of its ability to accumulate Cd in its growth matrix. H. cordata were planted in plastic pots filled with paddy field soils having low (LCd), medium (MCd), and high (HCd) Cd levels of 0.19, 0.69, and 2.91 mg/kg, respectively. After six months of growth, harvested plant parts were evaluated for Cd uptake and tolerance mechanisms. Metabolomics and metagenomics approaches were employed to investigate the soil rhizosphere mechanism. Results showed that the average plant biomass increased as soil Cd increased. The biomass Cd contents surpass...

Glyphosate presence in human sperm: First report and positive correlation with oxidative stress in an infertile French population
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2024 May 1;278:116410. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116410. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEnvironmental exposure to endocrine disruptors, such as pesticides, could contribute to a decline of human fertility. Glyphosate (GLY) is the main component of Glyphosate Based Herbicides (GBHs), which are the most commonly herbicides used in the world. Various animal model studies demonstrated its reprotoxicity. In Europe, GLY authorization in agriculture has been extended until 2034. Meanwhile the toxicity of GLY in humans is still in debate. The aims of our study were firstly to analyse the concentration of GL...

R3 strain and Fe-Mn modified biochar reduce Cd absorption capacity of roots and available Cd content of soil by affecting rice rhizosphere and endosphere key flora
In this study, the cadmium-tolerant endophytic bacterium Herbaspirillum sp. R3 (R3) and Fe-Mn-modified biochar (Fe-Mn) were, respectively, applied to cadmium-contaminated rice paddies to investigate the effects of key bacterial taxa in the soil-rice system on the absorption and transportation of Cd in rice under different treatments. The results showed that both R3 and Fe-Mn treatments considerably decreased the content of cadmium in roots, stems and leaves of rice at the peak tillering stage by 17.24-49.28% in comparison to the control (CK). The cadmium content reduction effect of R3 treatment is better than that of Fe-Mn...
