Hundreds of new flame retardants (NFRs) are widely used, causing environmental pollution and threating human health. In this study, based on the interaction of NFRs and human serum albumin (HSA), we assessed the differences in potential human accumulation of 8 NFRs including 1,2-Dibromo-4-(1,2-dibromoethyl)cyclohexane (TBECH), tetrabromobisphenol A bis(dibromopropyl ether) (TBBPA-DBPE), 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP), pentabromophenol (PBP), tri-n-butyl phosphate (TnBP), triphenyl phosphate (TPP), Tri(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP), and Tri(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCP). All NFRs could bind to HSA and cause slight damage to its structure, suggesting their potential human accumulation ability.

A class of generated Lewis acid (LA) activated acridine complexes is reported, which act as potent photochemical catalysts for the oxidation of a variety of protected secondary amines. Acridine/LA complexes exhibit tunable excited state reduction potentials ranging from +2.07 to 2.

Strawberries are valued for their aroma, which is mainly determined by volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Wild strawberries, with broader and more intense VOC profiles, are especially important in breeding programs. Using HS-SPME-GC-MS, 126 VOCs were identified in the ripe fruit of 22 cultivars from four wild strawberry species.

Introduction: This study aimed to understand the origin and to explain the maintenance of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) isolated from food-producing animals in a third-generation cephalosporin (3GC)-free farm.
Methods: Culture and molecular approaches were used to test molecules other than 3GC such as antibiotics (tetracycline and oxytetracycline), antiparasitics (ivermectin, flumethrin, fenbendazol, and amitraz), heavy metal [arsenic, HNO, aluminum, HNO, cadmium (CdSO), zinc (ZnCl), copper (CuSO), iron (FeCl), and aluminum (AlSO)], and antioxidant (butylated hydroxytoluene) as sources of selective pressure. Whole-genome sequencing using short read (Illumina™) and long read (Nanopore™) technologies was performed on 34 genomes.

Nowadays, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles are widely used for packaging drinks and food. However, concerns have been raised about the possible migration of harmful chemicals, particularly phthalates, from these containers into their contents. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of sunlight exposure and PET bottle reuse on phthalate migration, focusing on three common phthalates: bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP).
