In order to propose a versatile method to use in laboratories devoted to environmental analysis, a scheme for the determination of organochlorine pesticides from different solid matrices is evaluated. Pressurized liquid extraction is chosen as the sample preparation technique, followed by the purification of the extract by means of solid-phase extraction with Envi-carb cartridge (100 m(2)/g). Finally, the extracts are analyzed by programmed temperature vaporization (PTV)-gas chromatography (GC)-electron-capture detection and PTV-GC-mass spectrometry. The suitability of the method for the analysis of different matrices is determined by the extraction and analysis of four certified reference materials of solid matrices: CRM 804-050 (soil), SRM 1941b (organics in marine sediment), SRM 1944 (New York/New Jersey waterway sediment) and SRM 1649a (Urban Dust). Good statistical concordance between the results obtained and the certified or reference concentration are observed for most of the analyzed pesticides.

Clarithromycin, a common antibiotic found in domestic wastewater, persists even after treatment and can transfer to soils when treated wastewater (TWW) is used for irrigation. This residual antibiotic may exert selection pressure, promoting the spread of antibiotic resistance. While Predicted No Effect Concentrations (PNECs) are used in liquid media to predict resistance risks, PNEC values for soils, especially for clarithromycin, are lacking.

This study investigated the effects of sequential high-pressure homogenization followed by heat treatment on the physicochemical properties and lipidomic characteristics of liquid egg (LE) and liquid egg yolk (LEY). After treatment, homogenization and heat-treated liquid egg (H-LE) and homogenization and heat-treated liquid egg yolk (H-LEY) exhibited significantly enhanced flowability and thermal stability, with gelation temperatures increasing from 65°C to 82°C for H-LE and from 82°C to 95°C for H-LEY. In vitro digestion analysis revealed that H-LE demonstrated a 14.

As the occurrence of human diseases and conditions increase, questions continue to arise about their linkages to chemical exposure, especially for per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Currently, many chemicals of concern have limited experimental information available for their use in analytical assessments. Here, we aim to increase this knowledge by providing the scientific community with multidimensional characteristics for 175 PFAS and their resulting 281 ion types.

Acute liver injury (ALI) is a prevalent and potentially lethal condition globally, where pharmacotherapy plays a vital role. However, challenges such as rapid drug excretion and insufficient concentration at hepatic lesions often impede the treatment's effectiveness. We successfully prepared glycyrrhizinate monoammonium cysteine (GMC)-loaded lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) using high-pressure homogenization.
