Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon that is often used as a solvent in paints, paint thinners, glues, disinfectants and as an industrial solvent for the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, paints and chemicals. Metabolic acidosis is a recognized complication of toluene poisoning. However, we here report an unusual case of toluene poisoning presenting with bilateral intracerebral haemorrhage.

BACKGROUND Toluene poisoning can occur as a result of occupational exposure in industries such as painting, as well as through misuse, leading to complications such as neurological symptoms due to the accumulation of the metabolic byproduct of hippuric acid and metabolic acidosis. However, the exact mechanisms remain unclear. Hippuric acid is not removed by dialysis, so urinary excretion plays a central role.

Highly durable photocatalytic degradation of gas toluene pollutants is a great challenge due to the easy deactivation of photocatalysts. Herein, we synthesized the Pt embedded at interface of TiO nanocomposites (TiO/Pt/TiO) and Pt exposed on the surface of TiO nanocomposites (Pt/TiO/TiO) to investigate the effect of Pt position on the photocatalytic performance of toluene degradation. It was found that the Pt-exposed samples showed inactivation as the reaction progressed because carbonaceous intermediates such as phenol and benzoic acid were observed to be deposited on the exposed Pt to restrain the role of Pt in electron transfer for the production of reactive oxygen species.

Aromatic VOCs, like toluene, have recently attracted increasing attention for the treatment under the carbon peaking and neutrality policy. Catalytic oxidation, characterized by high efficiency and low production of secondary pollutants, has become the mainstream technology for toluene elimination. Thereinto, developing efficient and stable catalysts is essential.

Article Synopsis
- Flutamide and bicalutamide, two nonsteroidal anti-androgens, are linked to a higher risk of liver injury compared to other similar medications like enzalutamide, apalutamide, and darolutamide.
- A study analyzed data from over 142,000 male patients and found that steroid use significantly reduced the risk of liver injury from these drugs, with odds ratios indicating a protective effect.
- The findings suggest that while flutamide and bicalutamide pose a risk for liver injury, the concurrent use of steroids may alleviate some of this risk, highlighting a potential management strategy.
Toluene-Poisoning-Resistant High-Entropy Non-Noble Metal Anode for Direct One-Step Hydrogenation of Toluene to Methylcyclohexane.

The direct one-step hydrogenation of toluene to methylcyclohexane facilitated by a proton-exchange membrane water electrolyzer driven by renewable energy has garnered considerable attention for stable hydrogen storage and safe hydrogen transportation. However, a persistent challenge lies in the crossover of toluene from the cathode to the anode chamber, which deteriorates the anode and decreases its energy efficiency and lifetime. To address this challenge, the catalyst-poisoning mechanism is systematically investigated using IrO and high-entropic non-noble-metal alloys as anodes in acidic electrolytes saturated with toluene and toluene-oxidized derivatives, such as benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, and benzoic acid.
