“…This is in agreement with their wide use in numerous foodstuffs, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals in China. Compared to previous studies (Figure S4), the concentrations of MeP, EtP, and PrP in this study were lower than in the majority of global rivers, which may be attributed to the inputs of substantial industrial and domestic wastewater ,, and drought events in other rivers.…”

Parabens (PBs) are typical endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) that are commonly found in a water environment. However, their fate and transport in urban rivers remain largely unexplored. This study offers a quantitative analysis of the sources of PBs in urban river water, considering the perspective of a multimedia environment. PBs were ubiquitous in the surface water of six metropolitan cities in China, with median concentrations of 8.38 ng/L. A significant difference was observed for PB concentrations in different cities. The geographical variation of PBs in the six rivers may be influenced by multiple factors, including hydrological conditions (runoff amounts and catchment areas), environmental factors (temperature and SPM concentrations), population density, production, and domestic wastewater discharge.Here, the occurrence of PBs in outdoor dust was reported for the first time and was found to be the most polluted solid medium on the land surface. The estimated input fluxes of PBs in the six rivers ranged from 32.0 to 1470 tons/a. The point source emission was the primary input source of PBs in river water of the six cities, contributing between 56.7% and 93.7%, followed by the non-point source discharge of runoff scouring dust, contributing 1.77% to 38.4%.

Plastic additives that maintain integrity have been extensively studied for potential toxicity to fish; however, chemicals that protect polymers from (artificial) UV degradation are less studied. Benzotriazole UV stabilizers (BUVSs) are the most widely used UV stabilizers in plastics and are often used in sunscreens, cosmetics, paint, and food packaging. BUVSs can negatively affect aquatic wildlife when released into the environment via plastic degradation. In this review, we summarize the distribution of BUVSs globally and discuss neurotoxicological endpoints measured in fish to understand how these plastic additives can affect the neurological health of teleost fishes. BUVSs have been detected in aquatic environments at concentrations ranging from 0.05 up to 99,200 ng/L. Studies show that BUVSs affect behavioral responses and acetylcholinesterase activity, indicators of neurotoxicity. Our computational analysis using transcriptome data suggests certain pathways associated with neurodegeneration are responsive to exposure to BUVSs, like “Complement Activation in Alzheimer’s Disease”. Based on our review, we identify some research needs for future investigations: (1) molecular studies in the central nervous system to define precise mechanisms of neurotoxicity; (2) a wider range of tests for assessing aberrant behaviors given that BUVSs can affect the activity of larval zebrafish; and (3) histopathology of the nervous system to accompany biochemical analyses. These data are expected to enhance understanding of the neurotoxicity potential of benzotriazoles and other plastic additives.

“…With regard to chemicals hosted, interiors as a whole are a space different at all from outdoor environment (Zhao et al 2007 , Guo and Kannan 2013 , Sangiorgi et al 2013 , Romagnoli et al 2014 , Hassanvand et al 2015 , Tran et al 2015 , Oliveira et al 2016 , Subedi et al 2017 , Liu et al 2018 , Lu et al 2018 , Lucattini et al 2018 , Steinemann 2018 , Wong et al 2019 , Zhu et al 2019 ). Three categories of contaminants affect indoor locations, i.e., (i) chemicals released overall outside and driven indoors through building openings and ventilation devices (e.g., hydrocarbons comprised in motor vehicle exhausts); (ii) substances released indoors and outdoors at broadly analogous levels (e.g., nitrogen oxides, psychotropic substances); and (iii) compounds released typically indoors (e.g., cosmetics, plasticizers).…”

Molecular signatures of organic particulates as tracers of emission sources

Chemical signature of airborne particulates and deposition dusts is subject of study since decades. Usually, three complementary composition markers are investigated, namely, (i) specific organic compounds; (ii) concentration ratios between congeners, and (iii) percent distributions of homologs. Due to its intrinsic limits (e.g., variability depending on decomposition and gas/particle equilibrium), the identification of pollution sources based on molecular signatures results overall restricted to qualitative purposes. Nevertheless, chemical fingerprints allow drawing preliminary information, suitable for successfully approaching multivariate analysis and valuing the relative importance of sources. Here, the state-of-the-art is presented about the molecular fingerprints of non-polar aliphatic, polyaromatic (PAHs, nitro-PAHs), and polar (fatty acids, organic halides, polysaccharides) compounds in emissions. Special concern was addressed to alkenes and alkanes with carbon numbers ranging from 12 to 23 and ≥ 24, which displayed distinct relative abundances in petrol-derived spills and exhausts, emissions from microorganisms, high vegetation, and sediments. Long-chain alkanes associated with tobacco smoke were characterized by a peculiar iso/anteiso/normal homolog fingerprint and by n-hentriacontane percentages higher than elsewhere. Several concentration ratios of PAHs were identified as diagnostic of the type of emission, and the sources of uncertainty were elucidated. Despite extensive investigations conducted so far, the origin of uncommon molecular fingerprints, e.g., alkane/alkene relationships in deposition dusts and airborne particles, remains quite unclear. Polar organics resulted scarcely investigated for pollution apportioning purposes, though they looked as indicative of the nature of sources. Finally, the role of humans and living organisms as actual emitters of chemicals seems to need concern in the future.
