Article Abstract

Application of zero valent iron biochar (ZVI-BC) activated persulfate (PS) oxidation in various antibiotics treatments has been universally confirmed. Full utilization of biomass waste characteristics to reduce usage of toxic reagents in the preparation of ZVI-BC is an environmental optimization strategy. Herein, tetracycline (TC) degradation based on PS-oxidation activated by a novel ZVI-BC (ZVI-FeO-BC) was assessed, in which blueberry pomace extraction substitutes part of sodium borohydride and red mud substitutes iron salt. The ZVI-FeO-BC was a magnetic material loading ZVI on its surface by characterization detection. ZVI-FeO-BC/PS degradation system resulted in over 95.6 % of TC removal following to conditions optimization and ·OH, SO·, ·O radicals contributed 27.8 %, 29.4 % and 20.8 %, respectively. Although TC ultimately degraded into HO and CO, the presence of toxic intermediates during the reaction emphasizes the importance of the sufficiency of reaction. This study highlights the potential of natural waste as substitutes for toxic reagents in environmental remediation.

Background: Hexavalent chromium ions (Cr(VI)), a notorious toxic heavy metal pollutant with proven carcinogenicity, endangers human health and the environment. Meanwhile, l-ascorbic acid (L-AA), a vital biological antioxidant, has abnormal levels closely tied to various diseases. Developing efficient synchronous detection methods for these two key analytes is of great value in clinical and environmental monitoring.

Background: Sulfur dioxide (SO) is recognized as a major atmospheric pollutant and its excessive emissions can pose a great threat to the environment, flora and fauna, and human health. Long-term exposure to excessive SO can cause chronic poisoning, leading to neurological disorders and cardiovascular diseases. However, there are two sides to everything.

Background: Cisplatin is a commonly used chemotherapeutic across numerous cancer types that can cause neurotoxicities in patients, including peripheral sensory neuropathy, tinnitus, hearing loss, and vertigo.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate, for the first time, how genetic ancestry impacts cisplatin-induced neurotoxicities and if disparities are related to population differences in allele frequency.

Methods: In a cohort of cisplatin-treated testicular cancer survivors, relationships between genetic ancestry and neurotoxicities, medications, and lifestyle factors were assessed using logistic regression and Kruskal-Wallis tests and multiple pairwise comparisons using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test (Benjamini-Hochberg adjustment).

Metal pollution, particularly chromium, in water and food samples is a critical issue due to its transfer to the human body through the food chain and its threat to human health. Among the chromium species that can be found in water samples, chromates are classified as toxic by scientific authorities. Spectroscopic instruments have limitations in metal speciation analysis, and there is a need for suitable methods that allow chromium speciation.
