Article Abstract
Formaldehyde is illegally applied to vegetables by vendors as a preservative to extend their shelf life, and it poses health risks to consumers. Herein, a series of WO with different morphologies were synthesized and employed as the sensing material in gas sensors to detect formaldehyde in vegetables rapidly. Among all the samples, the WO nanoplate sensor exhibited the best sensitivity (16.5@200 ppm), a rapid response/recovery time (10/12 s), superior selectivity, and a low limit of detection (500 ppb). This was mainly attributed to its abundant mesopores and large specific surface area, which enhanced the formaldehyde adsorption capacity and adsorption/desorption rates while providing more active sites, thereby improving the sensor's response speed and resistance variation range. The WO nanoplate sensor also achieved reliable formaldehyde detection in actual vegetable samples (baby cabbage). This study provides systematic guidance for optimizing the gas-sensing performance of functional materials. It establishes a foundation for developing rapid, non-destructive formaldehyde detection technologies applicable for vegetable quality control.

This study establishes an Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) framework to decode pulmonary injury mechanisms induced by E-cigarette constituents, emphasizing the structural properties of propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), and nicotine in driving oxidative-inflammatory cascades. Computational toxicogenomics leveraging the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) identified 1214 chemical-gene interactions specific to PG/VG pyrolysis byproducts (formaldehyde, acrolein) and nicotine, with 83.7 % overlap with lung injury-associated genes from public repositories.

Chemosensory systems detect and discriminate a wide variety of molecules to monitor internal and external chemical environments. They initiate olfactory, gustatory, and chemesthetic sensations, influence human brain cognition and emotion, and guide a wide variety of behaviors essential for survival, including protective reactions, such as avoidance of contaminated foods and potential toxicants. Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) aerosolize e-liquids for inhaled consumption that typically contain flavorants, propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerin (VG), and nicotine.

The generation of toxic aldehydes in vegetable oils subjected to high-temperature cooking processes, such as frying, poses significant health risks due to their high reactivity and potential to form carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds. This review discusses the mechanisms of aldehydes formation in vegetable oils, focusing on key factors such as oil composition, cooking temperature, and heating time. The major toxic aldehydes identified include acrolein, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, -2,4-decadienal (-2,4-DDE), 4-hydroxy-2-hexenal (4-HHE), and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), which have been associated with adverse health effects ranging from respiratory irritation to carcinogenicity.

In recent years, wood-based composites bonded with adhesives of conventional resins containing formaldehyde have raised concerns as corporations are becoming environmentally conscious and fossil fuels are in high demand. A new generation of adhesives are being developed from natural renewable biomass resources with considerable protein concentrations. In this study, wastewater treatment plant-activated sludge and biosolids are formulated into bio-adhesives via protein denaturation.
