Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ruiqi An"
- Ruiqi An’s recent research focuses on the environmental impacts of chemicals, particularly the toxicity of metformin in aquatic ecosystems and the assessment of synthetic chemicals produced in China, revealing significant health risks and ecological concerns based on their persistence and bioaccumulation properties.
- A key finding from An's work on metformin indicates that exposure at environmentally relevant concentrations disrupts energy homeostasis and embryonic development in zebrafish, highlighting the potential risks associated with drug contamination in aquatic habitats.
- Additionally, An's studies on soil management demonstrate that tillage can mitigate soil organic carbon loss following deforestation in tropical regions, suggesting practical implications for maintaining soil health in agricultural practices.*
