Abstract:
... Developing and continuously optimizing measures to minimize and eliminate caffeine in the water environment is significant because of its wide distribution, persistence, and possible toxicity. Graphene oxide (GO) and graphene (GN) are two attractive carbon materials with excellent adsorption performance, and pH value plays an important role in these adsorption processes. In this work, a timely the ...

Abstract:
... Photocatalytic technology has been widely studied by researchers in the field of environmental purification. This technology can not only completely convert organic pollutants into small molecules of CO₂ and H₂O through redox reactions but also remove metal ions and other inorganic substances from water. This article reviews the research progress of graphene-based photocatalytic nanocomposites in ...

Abstract:
... Anionic surfactant penetration into the skin and their subsequent interactions with stratum corneum lipids and proteins has historically been linked with irritation and dryness from the use of soaps, body washes, facial cleansers, shampoos, and other rinse-off personal care products. Mechanisms of surfactant penetration into the skin surface has been a topic of debate for decades. In this review, ...
... Bioaccumulation and trophic transfer of persistent legacy contaminants have been intensively characterized, but little is known on the contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in freshwater food webs. Herein, we comprehensively screened CECs with a focus on polar substances and further evaluated their trophic transfer behavior in selected items from the food web of Lake Templin, Germany. Weselected ...

... Amyl salicylate (AS) is a fragrance massively used as a personal care product and following the discharged in wastewaters may end up in the aquatic environment representing a potential threat for the ecosystem and living organisms. AS was recently detected in water of the Venice Lagoon, a vulnerable area continuously subjected to the income of anthropogenic chemicals. The lagoon is a relevant area ...

Abstract:
... Food additive E171 (titanium dioxide, TiO₂) is authorized to be used as food colorant in the European Union. E171 is a particulate material, containing a fraction of nanoparticles. A major challenge for food control laboratories is the lack of harmonized, validated analytical methods for measuring the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles in food. This study proposes a generic method for the ...

Abstract:
... A device comprising a zirconium-based metal–organic framework (MOF) mixed-matrix membrane (MMM) framed in a plastic holder has been used to monitor the content of personal care products (PCPs) in cosmetic samples. Seven different devices containing the porous frameworks UiO-66, UiO-66-COOH, UiO-67, DUT-52, DUT-67, MOF-801, and MOF-808 in polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes were studied. Optim ...

Abstract:
... The personal care product (PCP) industry is a worldwide multi-billion-dollar industry. Several synthetic compounds like parabens and antimicrobial agents triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC) are ingredients in many PCPs. Due to growing public awareness of potential risks associated with parabens and other synthetic compounds, more PCPs are being marketed as “green,” “alternative,” or “natural.” ...

Abstract:
... Personal care products (PCPs) are important and modifiable sources of exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Research is limited on how EDC-associated PCP use differs by race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES), particularly during the sensitive period of pregnancy. We investigated differences in PCP use by race/ethnicity and SES among 497 participants in the LIFECODES pregnancy c ...

Abstract:
... As 2-hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA) represents a typical pharmaceutical and personal care product (PPCP), constant releasing of HBA into the environment poses threats to the ecology, and thus it is critical to develop effective techniques to remove HBA from water. Recently, sulfate radical (SO₄‒)-based advanced oxidation processes involved with monopersulfate (MPS) activation are proven as effective ap ...

The levels and trends of four bioaccumulative synthetic musks (galaxolide - HHCB, tonalide - AHTN, musk xylene - MX and musk ketone - MK) were investigated in filter-feeding bivalves collected yearly since 2010 at sites of contrasted pressure along the French coasts. Quantification rates were high for all 4 compounds (85–99%), indicating their geographical and temporal extensive occurrence in the ...

Abstract:
... Humans are widely exposed to phthalates and their novel substitutes, and considering the negative health effects associated with some phthalates, it is crucial to understand population levels and exposure determinants. This study is focused on 300 urine samples from teenagers (aged 12–17) and 300 from young adults (aged 18–37) living in Czechia collected in 2019 and 2020 to assess 17 plasticizer m ...

... Phthalates are reproductive toxicants commonly found in personal care products (PCPs). These endocrine disrupting chemicals are associated with pregnancy complications, including gestational diabetes. Yet, little is known about PCP use as a contributor to urinary phthalate metabolite concentrations in pregnancy. We conducted a pilot study among 108 pregnant participants to examine the associations ...
... Emerging pollutants (EPs) create a worldwide concern owing to their low concentration and severe toxicity to the receptors. The prominent emerging pollutants categories as pharmaceutical and personal care product, plasticizer, surfactants, and persistent organic pollutants. Typically, EPs are widely disseminated in the aquatic ecosystem and capable of perturbing the physiology of water bodies as w ...
