Sorption of Pyrene and Fluoranthene onto Common Microplastics Under Freshwater Conditions

Microplastics
Microplastics (MPs) are recognised as emerging vectors for hydrophobic organic contaminants in aquatic environments due to their relatively large surface area and the diversity of their polymer chemistries compositions.

Alteration and release of aliphatic compounds by the polychaete Nereis virens (Sars) experimentally fed with hydrocarbons [PDF]

, 2001
In the laboratory, marine worms were fed with a mixture of algae and several aliphatic hydrocarbons for 15 days. After ingestion by the worms, 34.9% of hydrocarbons are found in the faeces and only 3.1% accumulated in the gut.

Mixture of organic pollutants is associated with cognitive aging

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Environmental organic pollutants impact brain function and cognitive aging, but the effect of real‐world complex mixtures of these pollutants is unexplored. METHODS Using data collected at two time points from 170 cognitively normal adults, we used hierarchical Bayesian kernel machine regression to examine the association between ...

Use of Computational Models to Investigate Human Targets of Small Ubiquitous Molecules

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.
Chemoinformatics and atomistic modeling were combined to identify protein targets of environmentally and occupationally relevant chemical compounds. A public database linking chemicals, genes, phenotypes, and diseases was used for validation. The study highlights the potential and limitations of these fast, low‐cost computational approaches for early ...

Molecular Glass Interface Engineering Enables Highly Efficient and Stable Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells

Energy Technology, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
First‐principles calculations are used to investigate the structural stability, mechanical behavior, and optoelectronic and transport properties of Na2LiMF6 (M = Rh, Ir) double perovskites. Stability is confirmed through formation energy, elastic criteria, and tolerance factor analyses, while PBE–GGA and mBJ–GGA results indicate potential for ...

Fluoranthene degradation in a persulfate system activated by sulfidated nano zero-valent iron (S-nZVI): performance and mechanisms

Water Science and Technology
Fluoranthene (FLT) has received mounting focus due to its hazardous properties and frequent occurrence in groundwater. In this study, sulfidated nano zero-valent iron (S-nZVI) was selected as an efficient catalyst for activating persulfate (PS) to ...

Comparison of PCBs and PAHs levels in European coastal waters using mussels from the Mytilus edulis complex as biomonitors

Oceanologia, 2015
Mussels from the Mytilus edulis complex were used as biomonitors for two groups of organic pollutants: polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs, congeners: 28, 52, 101, 118, 138, 153 and 180) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs, naphthalene, acenaphthylene,

Heat‐Induced Toxicants: Sensory Appeal Distracts Consumers' Attention From Potential Toxicological Risks of Thermally Processed Foods

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
The central paradox of thermal processing of foods. (A) The application of heat (e.g., frying, baking, grilling) to food initiates complex chemical reactions, most notably the Maillard reaction and thermal degradation of protein, lipids, and carbohydrate. (B) These reactions create a desirable sensory experience characterized by enticing aromas, golden‐
