Biomass‐Derived Carbon Photocatalysts for Organic Pollutant Degradation: Strategies and Perspectives
Recent advances in biomass‐derived carbon photocatalysts are highlighted, focusing on synthesis, surface engineering, and mechanisms such as ROS generation and band‐gap tuning. Heteroatom doping, heterojunctions, and hybrid architectures boost visible‐light activity, while scalability and stability challenges are addressed for practical environmental ...

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are widespread persistent pollutants that cause several adverse health effects. Aerobic bioremediation of PCBs involves the activity of either one bacterial species or a microbial consortium.

Bioaccumulation modelling and sensitivity analysis for discovering key players in contaminated food webs: the case study of PCBs in the Adriatic Sea [PDF]
Modelling bioaccumulation processes at the food web level is the main step to analyse the effects of pollutants at the global ecosystem level. A crucial question is understanding which species play a key role in the trophic transfer of contaminants to ...

Pollutant‐induced epithelial damage also leads to a cascade of harmful effects, including reduced mucus secretion, decreased luminal pH, and enhanced absorption of toxins. These changes contribute to oxidative stress (↑ malondialdehyde (MDA); ↓ superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and heightened ...

Biomass-supported catalysts on Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and Rhodobacter sphaeroides [PDF]
A Rhodobacter sphaeroides-supported dried, ground palladium catalyst (‘‘Rs-Pd(0)’’) was compared with a Desulfovibrio desulfuricans-supported catalyst (‘‘Dd-Pd(0)’’)and with unsupported palladium metal particles made by reduction under H2 (‘‘Chem-Pd(0)’’)

Endocrine disruptors and abnormalities of pubertal development [PDF]
Onset and development of puberty is regulated by the neuroendocrine system. Population-based studies worldwide have observed secular trends towards earlier puberty development. These changes are apparently caused by environmental factors such as improved

Good nutrition in pregnancy and early life plays a key role in shaping the offspring gut microbiota, which supports healthy growth, immune maturation, and neurodevelopment. Poor maternal and early‐life diets can disrupt this process, increasing the risk of obesity, undernutrition, and disease later in life.

Polychlorinated biphenyl exposure and DNA methylation in the Anniston Community Health Survey
Anniston, Alabama was home to a major polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) production facility from 1929 until 1971. The Anniston Community Health Survey I and II (ACHS-I 2005–2007, ACHS-II 2013–2014) were conducted to explore the effects of PCB exposures.
