Abstract:
... Governmental food safety monitoring is moving towards risk-based monitoring. Three steps are needed to design an optimal risk-based monitoring plan for pathogens. First pathogen-product combinations need to be ranked, according to their probability of contamination of the sampled product, consequences to human health, or the combination of one or more of these aspects. Second, food business operat ...

Abstract:
... Overuse of antibiotics posed a global threat to human health and the ecological environment. Efficient detection and control of antibiotic pollution demand novel sensory materials. Here, a dual-luminescent material FS@UIO66 was successfully synthesized by encapsulating fluorescent molecules (fluorescein sodium, FS) in UIO66 based on the in-situ encapsulation method. We found that the dual emission ...

Abstract:
... The prevalence of artificial lights not only improves the lighting conditions for modern society, but also poses kinds of health threats to human health. Although there are regulations and standards concerning light pollution, few of them are based on the potential contribution of improper lighting to diseases. Therefore, a better understanding of the health threats induced by light pollution may ...

Abstract:
... Sensitive, on-site and multiple detection of mycotoxins is a vital early-warning tool to minimize food losses and protect human health and the environment. Although paper-based lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) has been extensively applied in mycotoxins monitoring, low-cost, portable, ultrasensitive and quantitative detection is still a formidable challenge. Herein, a series of Fe-N-C single-atom na ...

Abstract:
... The severe indoor/outdoor air contamination caused by hazardous particulate matters (PMs) has a devastating impact on the environment and human health. Herein, air filters fabricated from delignified wood aerogels and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) were used for PM removal. Two specially designed MOFs (i.e. Zn-based ZIF-L and Zr-based UiO-66-NH₂) were deposited into a highly porous wood matrix th ...

Abstract:
... Antibiotic resistance is one of the greatest threats to global human and animal health of our time. Municipal wastewater has been identified as a hotspot of antibiotic resistance contamination to water bodies. However, there are numerous potential antibiotic resistant pathogens and their associated antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), making it difficult to implement routine monitoring that address ...

Abstract:
... Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic heavy metals faced by plants and threatens human health through the food chain. There are many similarities across species in response to cadmium stress, yet understanding of the underlying conserved molecular mechanisms is still lacking. Here, we obtained a conserved set of genes involved in the response to Cd stress in typical monocotyledonous and dicotyledo ...

Abstract:
... The high demand and extensive exploitation of uranium resources resulted in the ubiquity and high detection levels of uranium mineral-related substances in various environment media in China. The potential adverse effects of uranium mineral-related substances on environment and human health have received extensive attention. Therefore, we reviewed the occurrence and spatial distribution of uranium ...

Abstract:
... Atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a type of organic pollutants that seriously endanger human health. Obtaining the diurnal variations of PAHs and clarifying their impact mechanisms are significant for the government to formulate targeted prevention and control measures. However, the influencing factors that dominate the diurnal variations of common PAHs are currently unclear. ...

Abstract:
... Organophosphorus pollutants (OPs), which are compounds containing carbon‑phosphorus bonds or phosphate derivatives containing organic groups, have received much attention from researchers because of their persistence in the aqueous environment for long periods of time and the threat they pose to human health. Heterogeneous photocatalysis has been widely applied to the removal of OPs from aqueous s ...

Abstract:
... Lead (Pb) contamination is one of the most significant exposure hazards to human health. Contaminated soil particles may be eroded and transferred either to the atmosphere (<10 μm) or to streams; or they may be incidentally ingested (<200 μm). Among strategies for the long-term management of this risk, one of the most cost-effective is the reduction of Pb mobility and bioavailability via amendment ...
