Human health risks of chromium in bright-colored leather products: Speciation-based insights into dermal permeation Environ. Int. (IF 10.3) Pub Date : 2025-05-16 Can Liu, Chenjing Liu, Albert L. Juhasz, Wen-Jie Dong, Lena Q. Ma
Chromium (Cr) is a highly-toxic carcinogenic metal, which exists as chromite (CrIII) and chromate (CrVI), with CrVI being used in leather production. With the increasing demand for leather products, health risk associated with Cr exposure of leather products from dermal contact require scrutiny. In this study, 105 leather samples were analyzed for total Cr, Cr speciation, and bioaccessible Cr. Further

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with increasing prevalence. While genetics play a strong causal role, among environmental factors, air pollution (AP) exposure in pregnancy and infancy has been strongly endorsed as a risk factor. However, potential multigenerational impacts through the exposure of the grandmother during her pregnancy remain unexplored.

Antimicrobial effects, and selection for AMR by non-antibiotic drugs in a wastewater bacterial community Environ. Int. (IF 10.3) Pub Date : 2025-04-20 April Hayes, Lihong Zhang, Edward Feil, Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern, Jason Snape, William H Gaze, Aimee K Murray
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to human, animal, and crop health. AMR can be directly selected for by antibiotics, and indirectly co-selected for by biocides and metals, at environmentally relevant concentrations. Some evidence suggests that non-antibiotic drugs (NADs) can co-select for AMR, but previous work focused on exposing single model bacterial species to predominately high
