Aerobic composting is commonly used to dispose livestock manure and is an efficient way to reduce antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Here, the effects of different quality substrates on the fate of ARGs were assessed during manure composting. Results showed that the total relative abundances of ARGs and intI1 in additive treatments were lower than...

Chloropicrin (CP) can cause long-term damage to beneficial microbes which reduces soil health. Biochar (BC) can mitigate against the effects of CP by reducing the time for beneficial microbes to recover after CP fumigation. In this study, we used Real-Time Quantitative PCR to determine the effects of different rates of BC added to CP-fumigated soil...

Lead (Pb) toxicity is a growing serious environmental pollution that threatens human health and crop productivity. Poplar, as an important economic and ecological forest species, has the characteristics of fasting growth and accumulating heavy metals, which is a powerful model plant for phytoremediation. Here, a novel label-free quantitative proteo...

Despite increasing evidence that particulate air pollution has adverse effects on human semen quality, few studies examine the impact of air pollution on clinically relevant thresholds used to diagnose male fertility problems. Furthermore, exposure is often assessed using average air pollution levels in a geographic area rather than individualized ...

Pesticides are a major cause of the reduction in the global amphibian population. In this study, the acute toxicity and chronic effects of metamifop on Xenopus laevis (X. laevis) tadpoles were investigated. The 96 h-LC50 value of metamifop on X. laevis tadpoles was 0.634 mg/L, which indicated that metamifop was highly toxic to tadpoles. In the chro...

The long-term health of many South African estuaries is impacted by pollutants entering these systems through industrial and agricultural runoff, sewage outfalls, contaminated storm water drainage, flows from informal settlements, and plastic materials in marine debris. Uncontrolled inputs combined with poor environmental management often result in...

Curcumin exhibited numerous key activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunostimulatory effects in fish. This study evaluated the protective effects of curcumin (CUR) against lead (Pb)-induced toxicities in fish. Healthy Cyprinus carpio L. individuals were segregated into control, Pb only, Pb+CUR, and CUR only groups. Pb groups w...

PM2.5 infiltrates into circulation and increases the risk of systemic vascular dysfunction. As the first-line barrier against external stimuli, the molecular mechanism of the biological response of vascular endothelial cells to PM2.5 exposure remains unclear. In this study, 4-week-old mice were exposed to Hangzhou 'real' airborne PM2.5 for 2 months...

After application, pesticides remained in the field may contaminate water resources through surface runoff and leaching, posing a threat to aquatic ecosystem. In the current study, the accumulation, translocation, distribution and removal of four triazine pesticides (simazine, atrazine, terbuthylazine and metribuzin) by free floating aquatic plant ...

Fluorene-9-bisphenol (BHPF), a substitute for bisphenol A (BPA), has been widely used in the synthesis of polyester polymers. Studies have reported multiple BHPF toxicities but its effect on the liver remains unknown. In this study, we performed short-term and subchronic toxicity tests, as well as primary hepatocyte experiments, to investigate the ...
