Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xingfan Zhou"
- Xingfan Zhou's recent research focuses on the health effects of agricultural exposure, particularly related to pesticide toxicity and its implications on liver metabolism, as demonstrated in studies involving chlorpyrifos and emamectin benzoate and HepG2 cells.
- Zhou has also explored the environmental breakdown of hazardous substances, including the defluorination of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), showing enhanced degradation through catalytic ozonation methods.
- Additional work by Zhou investigates the prevalence of chronic health issues, such as insulin resistance and neurologic symptoms, among greenhouse workers in China, aiming to identify agricultural risk factors that contribute to these conditions.
