Abstract:
... Exogenous toxicants (e.g. arsenic, cigarette smoke), trigger oxidative stress, and initiate the pathogenesis of many human diseases. Induction of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) counteract exogenous toxicant-induced oxidative insults. Using a high-throughput screen, we firstly identified a citrus polymethoxyflavone, (2S)-5,6,7,3',4'-pentamethoxyflavanone (PMF), to be an Nrf2 activator, a ...

Abstract:
... The study of aerosol dispersion characteristics in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) has attracted extensive attention. Oxidation ditch (OD) is a commonly implemented process during biological wastewater treatment. This study assessed the component characteristics, source apportionment, and exposure risks of aerosols generated from a WWTP using the OD process (AWO). The results indicated that th ...

Abstract:
... Arsenic poses a threat to public health due to widespread environmental prevalence and known carcinogenic effects. In 2001, the US EPA published the Final Arsenic Rule (FAR) for public drinking water, reducing the maximum contaminant level (MCL) from 50 to 10 μg/L. We investigated impacts of the FAR on drinking water violations temporally and geographically using the Safe Drinking Water Informatio ...

Flavins are ubiquitous redox-active compounds capable of producing reactive oxygen (O₂•–, •OH, and H₂O₂) and flavin radical species in natural environments, yet their roles in the redox transformations of environmental contaminants, such as arsenic (As), remain to be investigated. Here, we show that reduced flavins can be a source of effective oxidants for As(III) under both oxic and anoxic condit ...
