Climate‐Modulated Particle Toxicity: Acute Exposure to an Environmentally Informed Microplastic Mixture Induces Sex‐Dependent Systemic Reorganization in Swiss Mice

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution is widely recognized as an emerging environmental threat. Yet, most studies still rely on controlled experimental conditions that poorly reflect environmental complexity, potentially underestimating risks under realistic scenarios, particularly during short‐term exposures. Here, we tested whether acute oral exposure

Assessment of Metal Contamination and Human Health Risk in the Buffalo River Estuary, Eastern Cape, South Africa

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metal contamination in estuarine environments poses environmental and public health concerns, particularly where surface waters support domestic and subsistence uses. This study assessed the seasonal distribution, controlling mechanisms, and non‐carcinogenic health risks of selected metals (Mg, Al, Ba, Fe, Mn, and Zn) in the Buffalo River ...

Partitioning of Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Fecal Indicators Varies Intra and Inter-Storm during Combined Sewer Overflows

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) degrade water quality through the release of microbial contaminants in CSO effluent. Improved understanding of the partitioning of microbial contaminants onto settleable particles can provide insight into their fate in end-

Influence of Aggregate Gradation and Pore Structure on Porous Asphalt Mixture Permeability and Resilient Modulus [PDF]

Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil Engineering
A porous asphalt mixture (PAM) is distinguished by its different porous structures, which allow water to move through it as quickly as possible, making drainage an essential component.

STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands. In this article we examine the interrelationship between household‐scale and urban‐scale flood mitigation projects in

Detection of Hg²⁺ in Water by Modified Gold Nanoparticles: A Rapid Method and Its Mechanistic Basis

Chemosensors
A new sensor was developed to detect Hg2+ ions; different volume ratios of chloroauric acid and sodium citrate were used, which were 1.0, 0.8 and 0.5. Three kinds of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with sizes of 18 nm, 25 nm and 32 nm were synthesized in this
