This study aimed to explore the effect of peroxydisulfate on the removal of heavy metals, antibiotics, heavy metal resistance genes (HMRGs), and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during composting. The results showed that peroxydisulfate achieved the passivation of Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu by promoting their speciation variations, thus reducing their bioavailability. And the residual antibiotics were better degraded by peroxydisulfate. In addition, metagenomics analysis indicated that the relative abundance of most HMRGs, ARGs, and MGEs was more effectively down-regulated by peroxydisulfate. Network analysis confirmed Thermobifida and Streptomyces were dominant potential host bacteria of HMRGs and ARGs, whose relative abundance was also effectively down-regulated by peroxydisulfate. Finally, mantel test showed the significant effect of the evolution of microbial communities and strong oxidation of peroxydisulfate on the removal of pollutants. These results suggested that heavy metals, antibiotics, HMRGs, and ARGs shared a joint fate of being removed driven by peroxydisulfate during composting.

Background: Previous research has demonstrated that exposure to individual heavy metals elevates the incidence rate of congenital heart defects (CHDs). However, there is a paucity of data concerning the relationship between combined exposure to multiple heavy metals and the occurrence of CHDs. This study seeks to investigate the association between combined heavy metal exposure in pregnant women and the incidence of CHDs in their offspring in Lanzhou, China.

This study aimed to compare thirteen different varieties of hyacinth beans analyzedfor their nutritional and antinutritional constituents. The study classified HA-3, HA-4, and Kadale Avare as Lignosus varieties, while the remaining varieties Arka, Pusa, CO, and NS, were classified as Typicus. The protein content ranged from 19.

Background: Salt usage patterns have been associated with a risk of multiple diseases; however, their relationship with heavy metal exposure has not been extensively studied.
Methods: This study analyzed survey data from 11,574 NHANES participants. Weighted linear regression models were used to examine the relationship between the type of salt used by participants, the frequency of adding salt at the table, and the frequency of adding regular or seasoned salt to cooking or food preparation, and urinary concentrations of 10 heavy metals.

Vegetation change significantly altered the hydrological processes and soil erosion within riparian ecosystems. It is unclear how change in managed vegetation types affect the geochemical behavior of heavy metals (HMs) and magnetic particles in karst riparian areas. Two soil depths of 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm were taken in alien species (), native species and in a typical urban plateau Lake wetland, Caohai lake, China.

Heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic are environmental pollutants that accumulate in ecosystems and pose significant health risks to humans and wildlife, primarily through food chain contamination where plants absorb heavy metals, affecting their growth and threatening consumer health. Cognitive and cardiovascular functions are particularly affected by exposure to heavy metals even at low concentrations through the induction of oxidative stress. Various analytical techniques are used in measuring heavy metals in different environmental and biological samples.
