Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Huicheng Zhu"
- Huicheng Zhu's recent research focuses on environmental health, specifically investigating the presence and effects of pollutants such as PFAS, phthalates, microplastics, and antibiotic resistance genes in various ecosystems and their implications on human health and the environment.
- Key findings include the distribution of PFAS in marine fish and its associated health risks, the accumulation of phthalate monoesters in indoor dust and their biological impacts, and the interactions of microplastics with heavy metals, particularly cadmium, in causing toxicity in earthworms.
- The studies emphasize the importance of multi-source exposure assessments for pollutants and underline the intricate relationships between microplastics, antibiotic resistance, and the broader impacts on soil-vegetable systems affected by environmental stresses.
