Article Abstract
The presence of mycotoxins and other toxic metabolites in hops ( L.) was assessed for the first time. In total, 62 hop samples were sampled in craft breweries, and analyzed by a multi-toxin LS-MS/MS method. The study collected samples from craft breweries in all of the Croatian counties and statistically compared the results. Based on previous reports on spp. and spp. contamination of hops, the study confirmed the contamination of hops with these toxins. toxins, particularly tenuazonic acid, were found in all tested samples, while toxins, including deoxynivalenol, were present in 98% of samples. However, no or metabolites were detected, indicating proper storage conditions. In addition to the and toxins, abscisic acid, a drought stress indicator in hops, was also detected, as well as several unspecific metabolites. The findings suggest the need for monitoring, risk assessment, and potential regulation of and toxins in hops to ensure the safety of hop usage in the brewing and pharmaceutical industries. Also, four local wild varieties were tested, with similar results to the commercial varieties for toxin contamination, but the statistically significant regional differences in toxin occurrence highlight the importance and need for targeted monitoring.

Coastal wetlands, vital ecosystems, are threatened by anthropogenic activities and act as significant sinks for halogenated organic pollutants (HOPs). Despite the persistent toxicity and ecological risks associated with HOPs, their spatial distribution and environmental behavior in coastal sediments, particularly the role of total organic carbon (TOC) in modulating their fate, remain poorly understood. We investigated the contamination characteristics of 25 halogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (HPAHs) in the surface sediments of two coastal wetlands, the Yellow River estuary and Jiaozhou Bay, with different environmental backgrounds.

Objectives: Most overdoses in British Columbia (BC), Canada, occur within housing settings. In response, the provincial government is increasingly implementing housing-based overdose prevention sites (HOPS). Within the context of a contaminated drug supply, and changing consumption practices, there is little research examining the effectiveness of HOPS.

Solar-driven photocatalytic dehalogenation and mineralization of halogenated organic pollutants (HOPs) remain a significant challenge. In this study, we develop a dual-site confined g-CN (CN)-based catalyst, incorporating cerium doping and nitrogen vacancies (Ce-FCNV), for a sequential anaerobic-aerobic photocatalytic system designed for the deep treatment of HOPs-contaminated wastewater. The Ce-FCNV catalyst demonstrates a remarkable 36.

Anthropogenic activities have led to serious contamination of halogenated organic pollutants (HOPs), such as PCBs, PBDEs, and HBCDs, in the mangrove wetland. Biodegradation of HOPs is generally driven by environmental microorganisms harboring dehalogenase genes. However, little is known if HOPs can affect the distributions of HOPs-degrading bacteria and dehalogenase genes in the mangrove wetlands.

Halogenated organic pollutants (HOPs) have attracted considerable attention owing to their persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity. The development of methods to detect HOPs in fish is challenging owing to the compositional complexity of fish matrices, which contain high levels of lipids and relatively low concentrations of HOPs. In addition, the lipophilicity of most HOPs renders their extraction difficult.
