“…Due to the presence of halogen atoms, halogenated organic compounds show significant biotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and mutagenicity. [42][43][44][45] With the heavy use of halogenated organic compounds, it inevitably causes the problem of leakage. For instance, various organochlorine pesticides such as PCBs and PBDEs, persistently and widely exist in the environment, 46 and accumulate through the food chain from aquatic organisms to humans, eventually threaten the human health and lives.…”

Electrocatalytic dehalogenation technology is a promising approach for the synthesis of chemicals (such as pesticides and pharmaceutical intermediates) and the disposal of halogenated organic pollutants. Compared with the traditional chemical reduction technology, the electrocatalytic reduction dehalogenation method has the advantages of high efficiency, controllable operation, and reduced secondary pollution. This review systematically consolidates the recent advances in the electrocatalytic dehalogenation in the application of organic synthesis and environmental degradation, focusing on the involved mechanisms, and influences factors (e.g., electrocatalysts, solution environment, and reaction conditions) on the performance of electrocatalytic dehalogenation. Furthermore, the latest characterization and analytical methods and the industrial application of electrocatalytic dehalogenation technology are summarized. Lastly, the existing challenges and perspectives are proposed for efficient electrocatalytic dehalogenation.

“…Seven studies evaluated the effect of exposure to the following air pollutants on women's perinatal mental health: PM 2.5 , PM 10 , nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), ozone (O 3 ), sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) and carbon monoxide (CO). Vuong and collaborators focused on polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) [44]: these compounds are anthropogenic chemical substances dispersed in the air from different stuff including car interiors, firefighting foams, and textiles [51][52][53][54]. These substances have received growing interest in recent years due to the potential association between exposure to these compounds and the onset and severity of various medical conditions including Coronavirus [55] and dysfunction of thyroid hormones [56].…”

Background: The aim of the present study was to summarise the available data about the link between air pollution exposure and the new-onset and severity of psychiatric disorders in pregnant women during the perinatal period. Materials and methods: We selected articles published until June 2022 on PubMed and the Web of Science. Pollutants included were PM2.5 (particulate matter 2.5 micrometres and smaller), PM10 (particulate matter 10 micrometres and smaller), NO2 (nitrogen dioxide), O3 (ozone), SO2 (sulphur dioxide), CO (carbon monoxide), PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers), PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), lead, and cadmium. The perinatal period was considered as the time of pregnancy until one year after childbirth. Results: Nine studies were included; most of them evaluated the association between exposure to air pollutants and the onset of Postpartum Depression (PPD). Two studies showed an association between, respectively, only PM2.5 and both PM2.5 and NO2 exposure and PPD onset 12 months after childbirth, while another study found a significant association between NO2 exposure and PPD occurrence 6 months after childbirth. PBDE blood levels were associated with more severe depressive symptoms. Lastly, one study observed a link between stressful symptoms and exposure to PM2.5, PM10 during pregnancy. Conclusion: More comprehensive and uniform studies are required to make a roadmap for future interventions, given the growing relevance of issues such pollution and mental health, particularly during the perinatal period.

Pollution levels of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were investigated in the El Sol and the La Luna alpine lakes. The lakes are located in central Mexico, in the crater of the Nevado de Toluca volcano. The El Sol and the La Luna lakes are extremely relevant in Mexico and in the world because they are recognized as pristine regions and environmental reservoirs.Samples of atmospheric aerosol, sediment, plankton, and Tubifex tubifex were collected at three different sample locations for three years (2017, 2018, and 2019) at three different times of year, meaning that the weather conditions at the time of sampling were different. Pollutants were analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with negative chemical ionisation (GC-MS/NCI).Endosulfan was the most frequent and abundant pollutant, showing the highest peaks of all. Atmospheric aerosol revealed Σ 2 = 45 pg/m 3 , including α and β, while sediment lakes displayed α, β and endosulfan sulphate as Σ 3 = 1963 pg/g, whereas plankton and Tubifex tubifex showed Σ 2 = 576 pg/g and 540 pg/g for α and β respectively. Results of endosulfan ratios (α/β) and (α-β/endosulfan sulphate) suggest that both fresh and old discharges continue to arrive at the lakes This study shows for the rst time the pollution levels of OCP and PCB in high mountain lakes in Mexico. These results that must be considered by policy makers to mitigate their use in the various productive activities of the region.
