A review of latrine front-end characteristics associated with microbial infection risk; reveals a lack of pathogen density data
This study recommends that effective microbial infection risk reduction in latrines can be gained efficiently by ensuring washable surfaces and consistent cleaning practices. Future studies should include more rigorous measurements of microbial densities in various latrine types incorporating the different front-end components and usage behaviours.PMID:37734133 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijheh.2023.114261

Air pollution and motor vehicle collisions in New York city
Environ Pollut. 2023 Sep 19:122595. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122595. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRoad traffic accidents are a pervasive feature of everyday life, killing 36,500 people, injuring 4.5 million and, overall, generating costs to the American society of $340 billion in 2019. Understanding the underlying factors can improve the design of prevention strategies. We use all road traffic collisions in New York City between 2013 and 2021 (N = 1,269,600) and match each individual collision to the nearest weather and air pollution station. Our study uses highly disaggregated data using an hourly frequency of collisio...

Phenotypically plastic responses to freshwater salinization in larval amphibians: Induced tolerance and induced sensitivity
In this study, we examined whether populations of wood frog tadpoles (Rana sylvatica) possess rapid, inducible tolerance to salinity in a manner similar to their inducible tolerance to pesticides. Using newly hatched tadpoles from nine populations, we discovered that eight of the populations were able to alter their tolerance to salt. However, seven of the eight inducible populations experienced a higher sensitivity to salt while the eighth population experienced a higher tolerance to salt. Such inducible responses likely reflect the interplay of salt dynamics in the ponds, combined with the available genetic variation and...

Unraveling the contribution of dietary intake to human phthalate internal exposure
Environ Pollut. 2023 Sep 19:122580. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122580. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHuman exposure to phthalates (PAEs) occurs primarily through diet, but the contribution of dietary exposure to the total internal exposure of PAEs has not been well studied. This work investigated the relationship between dietary exposure and human internal exposure to PAEs. Daily food samples were determined to evaluate the health risk of dietary exposure, and phthalate metabolites (mPAEs) were determined from urine samples of 360 volunteers of Guangzhou to assess their internal exposure. The total mPAEs concentration in t...

Trithiocyanurate-functionalized hydrochar for effectively removing methylene blue and Pb (II) cationic pollutants
Environ Pollut. 2023 Sep 19:122585. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122585. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFunctionalization can change the physicochemical properties of hydrochar and improve its ability to adsorb pollutants. Herein, a trithiocyanurate-functionalized hydrochar (TTHC) was obtained from acylation of chloroacetyl chloride and hydrochar and modification with trithiocyanuric acid in alkaline conditions. TTHC can efficiently remove cationic methylene blue (MB) and Pb(II) from wastewater. The removal can be expressed with pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir models. The MB and Pb(II) removed uptakes by TTHC at 298 ...

Microplastics evidence in yolk and liver of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta), a pilot study
Environ Pollut. 2023 Sep 19:122589. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122589. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe potential toxicity of microplastics is a growing concern for the scientific community. The loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) is particularly inclined to accidently ingest plastic and microplastic due to its long-life cycle features. The possible transfer of microplastics from the female to the eggs should be investigated. The present study investigated the presence of microplastics in yolk and liver samples evaluating the number of melanomacrophages in the hepatic tissue as a possible biomarker of microplastics im...

Contribution of free hydroxyl radical to the formation of micro(nano)plastics and release of additives during polyethylene degradation in water
Environ Pollut. 2023 Sep 19:122590. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122590. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe omnipresence of secondary microplastics (MPs) in aquatic ecosystems has become an increasingly alarming public health concern. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important oxidant in nature and the most stable reactive oxygen species occurred in natural water. In order to explore the contribution of free ˙OH generated from H2O2-driven Fenton-like reactions on the degradation of polyethylene (PE) and generation of micro- and nano-scale plastics in water, a batch experiment was conducted over a period of 620 days in water tr...

Site-specific delivery of cisplatin and paclitaxel mediated by liposomes: A promising approach in cancer chemotherapy
Environ Res. 2023 Sep 19:117111. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117111. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe site-specific delivery of drugs, especially anti-cancer drugs has been an interesting field for researchers and the reason is low accumulation of cytotoxic drugs in cancer cells. Although combination cancer therapy has been beneficial in providing cancer drug sensitivity, targeted delivery of drugs appears to be more efficient. One of the safe, biocompatible and efficient nano-scale delivery systems in anti-cancer drug delivery is liposomes. Their particle size is small and they have other properties such as adjustable phy...

Improved daily estimates of relative humidity at high resolution across Germany: A random forest approach
Environ Res. 2023 Sep 19:117173. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117173. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe lack of readily available methods for estimating high-resolution near-surface relative humidity (RH) and the incapability of weather stations to fully capture the spatiotemporal variability can lead to exposure misclassification in studies of environmental epidemiology. We therefore aimed to predict German-wide 1 × 1 km daily mean RH during 2000-2021. RH observations, longitude and latitude, modelled air temperature, precipitation and wind speed as well as remote sensing information on topographic elevation, vegetation, a...

Large-scale automatic extraction of agricultural greenhouses based on high-resolution remote sensing and deep learning technologies
In this study, agricultural greenhouses in an important agricultural province (Shandong, China) are extracted by the combination of high-resolution remote sensing images from Google Earth and deep learning algorithm with high accuracy (94.04% for mean intersection over union over test set). The results demonstrated that the agricultural greenhouses cover an area of 1755.3 km2, accounting for 1.11% of the total province and 2.31% of total cultivated land. The spatial density map of agricultural greenhouses also suggested that the facility agriculture in Shandong has obviously regional aggregation characteristics, which is v...

Comparative study of electroplating sludge reutilization in China: environmental and economic performances
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 21. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29849-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHarmless disposal and reutilization of electroplating sludge (ES) attract growing interests due to the high content of heavy metals, which requires economical-affordable and environmentally friendly processing technologies. Main reutilization alternatives in China, i.e., acid leaching, bioleaching, smelting, ironmaking blast furnace co-processing (IBFC), and cement kiln co-processing (CKC), were evaluated and compared via life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle costing (LCC) methods. In addition, the heavy metal recov...
