“…The autocorrelation descriptors that affected the PNECs of PHDs were mainly the mass (m), polarizability (p), van der Waals volume (v), first ionization potential (i), and state (s) weighting of Broto-Moreau (AST), Geary (GAT), and Moran (MATS) descriptors. The three autocorrelation descriptors characterized the structural conformation of chemical molecules [ 49 , 63 ], which has been found to be highly relevant to the aquatic toxicity of cosmetics and personal care additives [ 49 ]. These autocorrelation descriptors may affect the PNECs and toxicity by influencing the spatial conformation of PHDs.…”
