Combined pollution from microplastics (MPs) and other environmental pollutants has attracted considerable attention. Few studies have investigated the effects of polyurethane (PU) and polypropylene (PP) MPs on available Cadmium(Cd) in different soil types. Here, PU and PP additions affected available Cd and reduced its concentration in soil (P > 0.05). PU and PP reduced available Cd more strongly in clay soil than that in sandy soil. PU and PP improved the soil porous structure and voids and significantly increased the Zeta potential in clay soil (P < 0.05). Dissolved organic carbon and pH in clay soil were significantly negatively correlated with available Cd after PU and PP addition, and Fe(Ⅱ) was significantly negatively correlated with available Cd in sandy soil. PU and PP addition promoted the C-C, CO, and C-H functional groups and FeO, FeOOH, and FeO formation and influenced the effective Cd through adsorption and precipitation. CdCO formation and clay mineral adsorption, and iron oxide formation, influenced the effective Cd in clay and sandy soils, respectively. PU and PP influenced the effective state of Cd by affecting bacterial communities related to carbon and iron cycles. This study is significant for assessing the environmental risks of MPs combined with heavy metals in different soils and their mechanisms.

Introduction: Enteric pathogens are a leading causes of diarrheal deaths in low-and middle-income countries. The Exposure Assessment of Infections in Rural Ethiopia (EXCAM) project, aims to identify potential sources of bacteria in the genus and, more generally, fecal contamination of infants during the first 1.5 years of life using as indicator.

Iron (Fe) minerals possess a huge specific surface area and high adsorption affinity, usually considered as "rust tanks" of organic carbon (OC), playing an important role in global carbon storage. Microorganisms can change the chemical form of Fe by producing Fe-chelating agents such as side chains and form a stable complex with Fe(III), which makes it easier for microorganisms to use. However, in seasonal frozen soil thawing, the succession of soil Fe-cycling microbial communities and their coupling relationship with Fe oxides and Fe-bound organic carbon (Fe-OC) remains unclear.

Human landscape modification is amongst the greatest drivers of biodiversity loss. Measuring faecal glucocorticoid metabolites (FGM) in wildlife is of great value to measure the impact of human activities on local biodiversity because FGM offer a non-invasive way of measuring an animal's response to changes in its environment in the form of adrenocortical activity. Here, we measure the concentration of FGM in three native Australian mammal species belonging to different trophic levels: the Tasmanian devil () and the spotted-tailed quoll (), both carnivores, and an omnivore that is primarily an arboreal folivore, the brushtail possum (), and compare the FGM concentrations across three major land uses: agricultural, plantation and National Parks.

Background: Soil-transmitted helminthiasis remains a daunting challenge to global health, exerting its greatest toll on resource-limited regions of the world. A dual drug approach using the co-administration of ivermectin and albendazole has shown promising results in comparison to the traditional monotherapy strategy. In light of this, a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was conducted.

Despite improvements in environmental sanitation and healthcare, the infection rate of soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) remains high in low socioeconomic regions of developing countries including Vietnam. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and intensity of STH infections among primary school children in Meo Vac, Ha Giang: a poor mountainous province in Vietnam. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from October to November 2023, involving 400 participants.
