Association of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances with hepatic steatosis and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease among patients with acute coronary syndrome
This study included 546 newly diagnosed ACS patients. Twelve PFAS were quantified using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Hepatic steatosis was defined by hepatic steatosis index (HSI). MAFLD was defined as the combination of hepatic steatosis based on the risk factor calculation with metabolic abnormalities. Generalized linear model was used to examine the associations of PFAS congeners with HSI and MAFLD. Adaptive elastic net (AENET) was further used for PFAS congeners selection. Mixture effects were also assessed with Bayesian kernel machine regression model (BKMR). Congeners analysi...

Health justice and economic segregation in climate risks: Tracing vulnerability and readiness progress
Health Place. 2023 Sep 15;84:103113. doi: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2023.103113. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClimate vulnerability can make urban space unhealthy and accentuate existing health (in)justice and (economic) segregation. Drawing on the vulnerability-readiness nexus and measuring health justice (i.e., health poverty, health distribution, and health access) and economic segregation (through indices), we strive to investigate the plausible pathways of the two constructs at the heat risks. Our work, focusing on metropolitan cities in South Korea, addresses the role of heat vulnerability and readiness nexus regarding ...

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 18. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29861-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a significant economic development strategy directed by China. Its primary objective is to establish connectivity across a vast region encompassing over 70 countries in Asia, Europe, and Africa. This endeavor significantly impacts worldwide development, economic advancement, and environmental sustainability. Nevertheless, insufficient pertinent evidence exists when exploring the correlation between urbanization, rural energy poverty (Rural_EP), and carbon emissions (CO2_Em) in the BR...

Occurrence, tissue distribution, and risk assessment of progestins, androgens, estrogens, and phenols in wild freshwater fish species
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 18. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29889-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe presence of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in aquatic environments such as water, sediment, and sludge received more and more attention. However, the bioaccumulate properties of EDCs, particularly progestins and androgens, in various tissues of different wild freshwater fish species, as well as their effects on human health, have not been fully studied. The muscle, liver, and gills of three wild fish species obtained from the East Dongting Lake in southern China were examined for the presence of 19 EDCs (4 pro...

Prussian blue analogues derived magnetic FeCo@GC material as high-performance metallic peroxymonosulfate activators to degrade tetrabromobisphenol A over a wide pH range
In this study, a magnetic composite material derived from MOF was synthesised and used as a new catalyst for rapid degradation of tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). Compared to precarbonisation, FeCo@GC formed a conductive graphite carbon skeleton, retained the complete rhombododecahedron structure, had a larger specific surface area and provided more active sites for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. The target pollutant TBBPA (20 mg/L) was completely degraded within 30 min, and the mineralisation rate reached 40.98% in the FeCo@GC (150 mg/L) and PMS (1 mM) systems, owing to the synergistic interaction between Fe, Co and gr...

Surface activity, kinetics, thermodynamics and comparative study of adsorption of selected cationic and anionic dyes onto H < sub > 3 < /sub > PO < sub > 4 < /sub > -functionalized bagasse from aqueous stream
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 18. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29870-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe discharge of dyes into the water body creates toxicity to aquatic organisms because of their aromatic structure and difficult degradation. So, the treatment of dye-contaminated wastewater is required before releasing it. In the present study, thermally treated (600 °C) and H3PO4 (55%)-functionalized bagasse, henceforth called thermochemically activated bagasse (TCAB), was synthesized as potential adsorbent for the effective removal of selected cationic and anionic dyes from their aqueous stream. TCAB characterizatio...

Exploring the bioremediation capability of petroleum-contaminated soils for enhanced environmental sustainability and minimization of ecotoxicological concerns
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 18. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29801-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe bioremediation of soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) has emerged as a promising approach, with its effectiveness contingent upon various types of PHCs, i.e., crude oil, diesel, gasoline, and other petroleum products. Strategies like genetically modified microorganisms, nanotechnology, and bioaugmentation hold potential for enhancing remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination. The effectiveness of bioremediation relies on factors such as metabolite toxicity, microbial competi...

The combined effects of nitrogen fertilizer and biochar on soil aggregation, N < sub > 2 < /sub > O emission, and yield from a vegetable field in southeastern China
This study aims to evaluate the combined effects of biochar and nitrogen (N) fertilizer on soil aggregation, nitrous oxide (N2O) emission, global warming potential (GWP), vegetable yield, and greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI). The experiments were conducted in a vegetable field with two consecutive vegetable crops in 2019 and 2020 in southeastern China. There were four treatments: control (CK), conventional N fertilizer (U), biochar applied at 15 t ha-1 with N fertilizer (UB1), and biochar applied at 30 t ha-1 with N fertilizer (UB2). The results indicate that while N application significantly increased N2O emission of the v...

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 18. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29781-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPt-V bimetallic catalysts maybe promising substitutes to precious metal catalysts for selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) of NH3. But it remains a major challenge for Pt-V bimetallic catalysts to pursue high NH3 conversion rate and N2 selectivity simultaneously. In this work, both Cu and Er were adopted to modify V0.5/Pt0.04/TiO2 catalyst (denoted as V/PT), and the influences of Cu and Er doping amounts on NH3-SCO performance of V/PT catalysts were investigated systematically. The results indicated that the co-modificati...

Increased nationwide use of green spaces in Norway during the COVID-19 pandemic
Environ Int. 2023 Sep 11;180:108190. doi: 10.1016/j.envint.2023.108190. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn recent years, there has been growing concern about the decline in human green space use and nature-based recreation in Western countries. While some evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic led to increased recreational mobility in urban green spaces, it is unclear whether the pandemic led to nationwide changes in green space use in both densely and less densely populated neighborhoods, as well as whether social inequalities in green space use were reinforced or attenuated by the pandemic. To address these questions...

Carbon mitigation and health effects of fleet electrification in China's Yangtze River Delta
This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the currently unclear CO2 mitigation and human health benefits from electric vehicle (EV) adoption and energy decarbonization in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region by integrating fleet modeling, emission projection, air quality modeling and health risk assessment. Based on future socioeconomic trajectories, we project that the total vehicle stock in the YRD region will peak at 107-117 million around 2045-2050. The transition to EVs combined with largely renewable energy in the YRD region can potentially reduce CO2 emissions by 870 Tg in 2060 and brings along substantial hea...

Fluorine-tailed glass fibers for adsorption of volatile perfluorinated compounds via F-F interaction
In this study, new fluorine-containing tail materials (FCTMs) were prepared by combining fluorine-containing tail organic compounds with modified glass fibers. The adsorption effects of these FCTMs were generally stronger than that of pure activated glass fibers without fluorine- tailed, with an adsorption efficiency of up to 86% based on F-F interactions. The results showed that the FCTMs had improved desorption efficiency and reusability, and higher adsorption efficiency compared with that of polyurethane foam. FTGF was applied to the active sampler, and the indoor adsorption of perfluorovaleric acid was up to 2.45 ng/m3...
