Current methods for the evaluation of chemical contamination risks from abandoned coal and lead-zinc mine lands: protocol for a systematic evidence map Open
Abandoned mine lands (AMLs) pose significant environmental risks by releasing contaminants that can adversely affect plants, animals, and human health, especially in highly contaminated areas. Guidance exists on conducting contaminated lan…

Environmentally relevant concentrations of the tricyclic antidepressant, amitriptyline, affect feeding and reproduction in a freshwater mollusc Open
Antidepressant drugs (ADDs) are one of the most extensively used pharmaceuticals globally. They act at particularly low therapeutic concentrations to modulate monoamine neurotransmission, which is one of the most evolutionary conserved pat…

The formation of furan-like disinfection byproducts from phenolic precursors Open
Eleven furan-like disinfection byproducts were reported for the first time as byproducts from the chlorination of phenolic natural organic matter surrogates.

Data-driven learning of narcosis mode of action identifies a CNS transcriptional signature shared between whole organism Caenorhabditis elegans and a fish gill cell line Open
With the large numbers of man-made chemicals produced and released in the environment, there is a need to provide assessments on their potential effects on environmental safety and human health. Current regulatory frameworks rely on a mix …

Detoxification of oil refining effluents by oxidation of naphthenic acids using TAML catalysts Open
The environmental problem stemming from toxic and recalcitrant naphthenic acids (NAs) present in effluents from the oil industry is well characterized. However, despite the numerous technologies evaluated for their destruction, their up-sc…

Method Development for Effect-Directed Analysis of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds in Human Amniotic Fluid Open
The developing fetus represents a highly sensitive period of exposure to endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). However, risk assessment of EDCs is hampered by the lack of data on direct in utero exposure. In this study, we developed a rob…
