Rethinking Irgarol toxicity: a unified framework linking environmental fate, bioactivity, and human exposure

Naphthenic acids as emerging petroleum-derived contaminants: Environmental fate, ecotoxicological effects, and human health implications.

Oil pollution represents a significant global environmental threat, with naphthenic acids (NAs) - naturally occurring carboxylic acid derivatives in crude oil-emerging as critical pollutants due to their persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and multifaceted toxicity. This review critically synthesizes current knowle...

Halogenated Aromatic Compounds

The toxicological characteristics, bioaccumulation potential, and environmental persistence of halogenated aromatic compounds (HACs) – a subset of persistent organic pollutants – pose significant threats to ecosystems and human health. These compounds are widely distributed across aquatic, terrestrial, and aerial envir...

Behavior and Toxicity of Buckminsterfullerene (C60) in Aquatic Environments: A 30-Year Review.

Buckminsterfullerene (C60) is widely applied in various fields due to its unique physicochemical properties and has been increasingly detected in aquatic environments. This review examines the current knowledge of C60 behavior and toxicity in aquatic environments over the past 30 years. Once released into aquatic syste...

Environmental presence and toxicological risks of octocrylene in the marine, coastal and transition ecosystems.

Personal care products, including ultraviolet (UV) filters, are increasingly recognized as emerging pollutants in aquatic ecosystems. This review summarizes relevant data on the environmental presence of octocrylene (OC) in water, sediment and biota of coastal ecosystems as well as its toxicological effects. High envir...

Navigating the Nonylphenol Hazard: Insights into Toxicity Mechanisms and Mitigation Approaches

Nonylphenol (NP), a prototypical endocrine-disrupting chemical and persistent organic pollutant, is ubiquitously detected in water, soil, and atmosphere as a degradation product of nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ethers (NPEO) widely used in industrial and consumer products. Its environmental persistence, low metabolic cle...
