“…ENT, as a phytoestrogen, was determined to be protective to diabetes mortality if taken in a moderate dose . Though several studies determined the toxic effects of Tl, Hg, and ENT on the human body, − we inferred that the slight negative associations would be caused by reverse causality and characteristics of the compounds.…”

Wide exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) poses a great risk on human health. However, few large-scale cohort studies have comprehensively estimated the association between EDCs exposure and mortality risk. This study aimed to investigate the association of urinary EDCs exposure with mortality risk and quantify attributable mortality and economic loss. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were performed to investigate the association of 38 representative EDCs exposure with mortality risk in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). During a median follow-up of 7.7 years, 47,279 individuals were enrolled. All-cause mortality was positively associated with 1-hydroxynaphthalene, 2-hydroxynaphthalene, cadmium, antimony, cobalt, and monobenzyl phthalate. Cancer mortality was positively associated with cadmium. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality was positively associated with 1-hydroxynaphthalene, 2-hydroxynaphthalene, and 2-hydroxyfluorene. Nonlinear U-shaped relationships were found between all-cause mortality and cadmium and cobalt, which was also identified between 2-hydroxyfluorene and CVD mortality. J-shaped association of cadmium exposure with cancer mortality was also determined. EDCs exposure may cause 56.52% of total deaths (1,528,500 deaths) and around 1,897 billion USD in economic costs. Exposure to certain phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phytoestrogens, or toxic metals, even at substantially low levels, is significantly associated with mortality and induces high economic costs.

“…These oxides, particularly known for their oxidizing properties, include layered structures like birnessite, vernadite, and buserite with a hexagonal structure, alongside certain tunnel Mn oxides such as pyrolusite and todorokite [ 69 , 127 ]. The Mn(IV)/Mn(II) redox pair, with its high redox potential, is effective in oxidizing a wide range of metals, including but not limited to Cr, U, As, Se, Tc, Np, Pu, Co, Sb, TI, and V [ 5 , 59 , 70 , 159 , 173 ].…”

“…The high redox potential of Mn oxides, evidenced by the standard electrode potential (1.23 eV) of MnO 2 + H + /Mn 2+ , (>1.3 eV) of Mn 3+ /Mn 2+ , is comparable to or higher than that of O 2 + H + /H 2 O (1.229 eV) [ 68 ]. This property enables Mn oxides to alter the valence, chemical form, and thus bioavailability of harmful metals through oxidation [ 69 , 70 ]. The adsorption and oxidation effectiveness of Mn oxides can be further enhanced through electrochemical regulation of the degree of redox [ [71] , [72] , [73] ].…”

“…Thallium is found in the environment associated with sulfide minerals (Karbowska 2016;Belzile and Chen 2017;Zhuang and Song 2021), entering the environment as a product of mining operations, mineral smelting and coal burning. It has a range of uses, including in electronics and specialty glasses.…”

Environmental context There is potential for a range of metals being used in emerging industries to pose a risk if they reach aquatic environments. This is assessed by evaluating known environmental concentrations against available toxicity data. In most instances risks are low with current usage. Areas are identified where additional data are needed. Abstract The environmental concentrations and aquatic toxicity of a range of technology-critical metals comprising platinum group and rare earth group elements, together with gallium, germanium, indium, lithium, niobium, rhenium, tantalum, tellurium and thallium, have been reviewed to determine whether they pose a risk to aquatic ecosystem health. There is a reasonable body of toxicity data for most, but the quality is quite variable, and more data are required. Chronic toxicity EC10 or NOEC values are generally in the low mg L–1 range, far higher than the current environmental concentrations in the ng L–1 range, meaning that the existing risks to ecosystem health are extremely low. Missing are reliable toxicity data for niobium and tantalum, while confounding results for lanthanum toxicity need to be resolved. There is a likelihood that the currently low concentrations of most of these elements will increase in future years. Whether these concentrations are in bioavailable forms remains to be reliably determined. For most of the elements, measured speciation information is scarce, and unfortunately the thermodynamic data required to calculate their speciation are incomplete. In addition to this problem of uncertain speciation for some of these metals, notably those present in oxidation states of III or higher, there is also a need to explore the links between speciation and bioavailability for these higher valence metals. For circumneutral solutions, the calculated concentrations of the free metal ion tend to be very low for these metals and under such conditions the link between metal speciation and bioavailability is unclear.
