Edward J Calabrese et al.
This paper provides the first comprehensive documentation and assessment of the capacity of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) agents, including PFAS-based pesticides, to induce hormetic effects in plants, including agricultural cro...
Atmospheric transport and deposition of potentially toxic elements along a South-North altitudinal transect (2-3650 m a.s.l.): Assessing spatiotemporal patterns, sources, orographic control, and public health implications [0.03%]

Understanding the biogeochemical pathways of trace metals in wetland ecosystems enables the development of remediation strategies. In the Bolivian Andean Altiplano, Lake Titicaca is weakly affected by metal pollution compared to Lake Uru Ur...
The interaction of toxic metal exposure and oxidative balance score on semen quality: a cross-sectional study based on Shanghai volunteers, China [0.03%]
Qi Zheng,Junxia Liu,Shuya Zhou et al.
Qi Zheng et al.
Evidence on the association between toxic metal mixtures and semen quality remains limited. We investigate the relationship between single toxic metal and mixtures exposure with semen quality. Furthermore, to evaluate the role of interactio...
Lichen biomonitoring discriminates trace element sources from copper mining and atmospheric deposition in southern Peru [0.03%]
Jose Antonio Valeriano-Zapana,Paulino Flavio Rios-Zapana,Armando Andre Salinas-Delgado et al.
Jose Antonio Valeriano-Zapana et al.
Copper mining in southern Peru represents a globally significant potential source of atmospheric trace element emissions, yet ecosystem-scale exposure patterns across the region's contrasting landscapes remain poorly constrained. We assesse...
Uncovering tire wear signatures in urban aerosols: application of ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry using multimode ionization source for the determination of tire wear compounds [0.03%]

Tire wear compounds (TWCs) are an important source of pollution in urban environments, generated through the abrasion of vehicle tires and contributing significantly to airborne non-exhaust emissions. The major risk for human health is prim...
Enhanced silver carp to bighead carp ratios provide greater regulatory benefits for water quality in shallow subtropical lakes [0.03%]
Chao Guo,Jie Ke,Shiqi Li et al.
Chao Guo et al.
Nontraditional biomanipulations using filter-feeding silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) represent a promising strategy to mitigate the severity of lake eutrophication problems. However, the opt...
Beyond whole-organism assays: Compartmentalized multi-biomarkers in earthworm gut for cadmium and pyrene contamination [0.03%]
Qian Xu,Biao Fan,Rong Lu et al.
Qian Xu et al.
Soil pollution poses a growing threat to ecosystems worldwide, underscoring the critical need for bioindicators. Earthworms are recognized sentinels of soil contamination, yet current earthworm biomarker studies predominantly rely on whole-...
Indoor organic films and dust as reservoirs of polychlorinated alkanes: Enrichment patterns and exposure implications [0.03%]
Idoia Beloki Ezker,Bo Yuan,Pernilla Bohlin Nizzetto et al.
Idoia Beloki Ezker et al.
Indoor environments have shown to be a major source of human exposure of polychlorinated alkanes (PCAs), yet information on their distribution across indoor matrices and associated exposure pathways remains limited. PCAs, the main component...
