An overview of the occurrence, fate, and human risks of the bisphenol-A present in plastic materials, components, and products

John N. Hahladakis et al.

Summary: The investigation of human exposure to bisphenol-A (BPA) over the lifecycle of BPA-based plastic materials, components, and products is necessary. Current regulations and safety limits may underestimate the potential health implications of BPA exposure. Controversies regarding dose-response curves, sources and pathways of exposure, and the quality of toxicological studies hinder the regulation of BPA-based plastic materials. Further research and collaboration among stakeholders are needed to explore the long-term impacts of BPA and introduce restrictions to BPA-based products.

Lipid Peroxidation and Iron Metabolism: Two Corner Stones in the Homeostasis Control of Ferroptosis

Luc Rochette et al.

Summary: Regulated cell death (RCD), including ferroptosis, plays a significant role in development, tissue homeostasis, and disease occurrence. Ferroptosis is a type of regulated necrosis dependent on reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation. Iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation are central events leading to ferroptosis, and organelles such as mitochondria and lysosomes are involved in regulating iron metabolism and redox imbalance. This review provides an overview of lipid peroxidation and key components involved in the ferroptotic cascade.

Summary: This study determined the mechanism of nano-Se antagonism in Cd-induced hepatocyte pyroptosis by targeting the APJAMPK-PGC1 alpha pathway. The results showed that Cd activated the NLRP3 inflammasome and caused hepatocyte pyroptosis. Furthermore, Cd also increased hepatic fibrosis. However, the co-treatment of nano-Se and Cd significantly reduced the degree of fibrosis.

PM2.5 Increases Systemic Inflammatory Cells and Associated Disease Risks by Inducing NRF2-Dependent Myeloid-Biased Hematopoiesis in Adult Male Mice

Summary: Pulmonary exposure to PM2.5 induces stress hematopoiesis dependent on NRF2 in the lungs and bone marrow, resulting in related health outcomes. The detailed alterations in systemic hematopoiesis and the underlying mechanisms under PM2.5 exposure are still unclear. NRF2 is essential for regulating hematopoiesis under steady-state or stress conditions, but upon PM2.5 exposure, it is involved in stress myelopoiesis and enhanced PM2.5 toxicity, leading to systemic inflammation.

A Critical Role of the Bone Marrow Envelope in Human Bone Remodeling

Thomas Levin Andersen et al.

Summary: Proper bone remodeling relies not only on the actions of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, but also on the delivery of osteoblast lineage cells to the remodeling site. A CD271-positive/PDGF beta-R-positive cell layer surrounding the bone marrow provides osteoblastogenic potential on all bone surfaces, including both quiescent and remodeling sites. This cell layer, known as the canopy, plays a critical role in initiating bone remodeling by activating early markers of osteoblastogenesis and supporting cell delivery to the bone surface.

Neurotoxicity and the Global Worst Pollutants: Astroglial Involvement in Arsenic, Lead, and Mercury Intoxication

Gabriela de Paula Arrifano et al.

Summary: Environmental pollution is a global threat that poses a strong risk to human health. Certain pollutants have the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and affect the central nervous system, potentially causing neurological disorders. Arsenic, lead, and mercury are commonly prioritized pollutants by regulatory agencies. Astrocytes, as the first line of defense in the central nervous system, play a crucial role in combating xenobiotics and maintaining brain functions. This review discusses the current understanding of astroglial involvement in neurotoxicity induced by these pollutants, focusing on their toxicokinetic characteristics and the impact on various astrocytic mechanisms.

Summary: Heavy metals pose a serious public health problem due to their wide presence in daily life and contamination of the environment. Children are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of heavy metal exposure on immune function compared to adults. This review summarizes epidemiological studies on the impact of heavy metal exposure on childhood immune function, focusing on the effects of six heavy metals on different components of the immune system. The review finds that heavy metal exposure, particularly to lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury, impairs immune responses in children and increases the risk of immune-related diseases.

Comparative pharyngeal cartilage developmental toxicity of bisphenol A, bisphenol S and bisphenol AF to zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae: A combination of morphometry and global transcriptome analyses

Wenlong Huang et al.

Summary: Exposure to BPA has been found to affect cartilage development in teleost fishes, but it is unclear whether its two analogues, BPS and BPAF, have similar effects. In this study, zebrafish were used as an in-vivo larval model to compare the developmental toxicity of BPA, BPS, and BPAF on pharyngeal arch-derived cartilage. It was found that BPA and BPAF lengthen and broaden cartilage angles, while BPS shortens and narrows them. The transcriptome analysis revealed different signaling pathways associated with the toxicity of each analogue. The study suggests that caution should be exercised when using BPS and BPAF, as they may not be safer than BPA in terms of their impact on fish cartilage development.

Elevated levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in freshwater benthic macroinvertebrates from the Hudson River Watershed

Summary: This study investigated the PFAS contamination in two streams in the Hudson River Watershed using benthic macroinvertebrates (BMIs) as indicator organisms. The results showed that although PFAS concentrations in surface water and sediment were not excessively high, elevated levels were still measured in most BMI taxa. This suggests that the extent of PFAS contamination in a local system may be severely underestimated if only surface water and sediment are used for monitoring. Moreover, these findings have relevance for human exposure assessment considering BMIs are the primary food source of many fish.

Summary: Occupational exposure to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) compounds can lead to irreversible adverse health effects such as perforation of the nasal septum, chronic lung diseases, skin ulcers, and allergic contact dermatitis. The possibility of Cr(VI) causing irreversible diseases related to immune system disturbances, fertility issues, or adverse prenatal development in humans remains unclear.

Risk assessment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in food: Symposium proceedings

K. L. Vorst et al.

Summary: PFAS are synthetic chemicals with a history of use in various products, and high levels of exposure may have adverse health effects. Research gaps exist in understanding human exposure to PFAS from food and food packaging. Key discussions at the symposium focused on analytical methods, exposure routes, and potential health effects of PFAS.

Particulate Air Pollution and Osteoporosis: A Systematic Review

Kok-Lun Pang et al.

Summary: Air pollution can lead to inflammation and oxidative stress, increasing the risk of chronic diseases in humans. Research suggests that the severity and progression of osteoporosis may be directly impacted by pollutants like particulate matter. However, current studies show inconsistent associations between PM exposure and osteoporosis risk or fractures.
