Article Synopsis
- Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are materials made from metal ions and organic linkers that can be used to create multifunctional materials, including carbon nanostructures.
- This study developed a novel MOF using Cu(II) with ligands to create a template for deriving carbon-based materials that can help purify water by removing pollutants.
- The resulting catalyst shows effectiveness in degrading pollutants in both light and dark conditions, making it a promising bifunctional material for water purification applications.
Minimal research exists on polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) exposure from traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs), despite their significant contributions to domestic and international health protection. This study is the first to investigate the levels, profiles, and health risks of PCB residue in Pheretima, a typical TCM produced from earthworm. Seventy-seven Pheretima samples from different regions of China were analyzed for 45 PCB congeners.

However, the levels and profiles of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in kelp have not been thoroughly investigated to date. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and emerging bromine flame retardants (eBFRs) were evaluated in 41 kelp samples from the main kelp producing areas in China.
