The combined pollution of antibiotics and heavy metals in aqueous environments increases the risk of aquatic ecosystem disruption and the complication of pollutant management. Here, a fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides 11 (CC11) isolated from aquaculture pond sediments possessed effective capacities to biotransform the combined pollution of enrofloxacin (ENR) and copper ion (Cu). ENR and Cu were considerably abated by CC11, and the presence of Cu (30 mg/L) promoted the biotransformation efficiency of ENR. The biotranformation of ENR in ENR-Cu co-contamination was associated to ligninolytic enzyme action. The expression of ligninolytic enzymes was enhanced by ENR and ENR-Cu combined pollution. And the increased activities of ligninolytic enzymes confirmed the significant role of enzymatic transformation. Cu played an important role in increasing the expression and activities of ligninolytic enzymes. The expressions of many genes associated with transporters, phosphate assimilation, oxidative phosphorylation, hyperosmotic stress and pectin metabolism were significantly up-regulated when facing Cu-stress, indicating their important roles in determining Cu removal and enhancing Cu-resistance. Additionally, CC11 significantly biotransformed other antibiotic and heavy metal combined pollution. All these results contributed to the applications of CC11 in aqueous environments.

Safer chemical alternatives to bisphenol (BP) have been a major pursuit of modern green chemistry and toxicology. Using a chemical similarity-based approach, it is difficult to identify minor structural differences that contribute to the significant changes of toxicity. Here, we used omics and computational toxicology to identify chemical features associated with BP analogue-induced embryonic toxicity, offering valuable insights to inform the design of safer chemical alternatives.

Heavy metals are life-threatening pollutions because of their great toxicity, long-term persistence in nature and their bioaccumulation in living organisms. In this work, we performed multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares analysis of UV-Vis raw spectra received by a colorimetric sensor constructed on mercaptoundecanoic acid functionalized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs@11MUA) to detect Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni, and Zn in water. This combined approach allowed the rapid identification and quantification of multiple heavy metals and showed adequate sensitivity and selectivity, thus representing a promising analytical and computational method for both laboratory and field applications such as environmental safety and public health monitoring.

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging pollutants of global concern, while heavy metals such as copper ions (Cu) are longstanding environmental contaminants with well-documented toxicity. This study investigates the independent and combined effects of polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) and Cu on the physiological and biochemical responses of rice seedlings ( L.), a key staple crop.

Photocatalytic reduction of CO to produce organic fuels is a promising strategy for addressing carbon reduction and energy scarcity. Transition metal carbides (TiCT ) are of particular interest due to their unique layered structures and excellent electrical conductivity. However, the practical application of TiCT is limited by the poor separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers and the low migration ability of photogenerated electrons.

The effects of short-term ambient ozone (O) exposure on health outcomes have received growing concerns, but its effects on psoriasis is still unclear. The purpose of our study was to investigate the effects of short-term exposure to O on psoriasis, and to find out potential modifiers. A hospital-based time-series study with outpatient visit data of psoriasis was performed in Chongqing, the largest metropolitan in Southeast China.
