Hu Z, Yan B. A sustainable, eco-friendly Tb/Eu-modified HOFs for ultrasensitive detection and efficient adsorption of carcinogens in complex water environments. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 474:134742. [PMID: 38810577 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134742] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
Developing a multifunctional material that can detect and remove carcinogens in water environments, simultaneously monitor their toxic metabolites in living organisms is significant for environmental remediation and human health. However, most research only focused on detection or adsorption carcinogens due to the difficulty of integrating multiple functions into one material, let alone monitoring their toxic metabolites. Here, a multifunctional Tb/Eu@TATB-HOF (1) is first developed to monitor two carcinogens, malachite green (MG) and its metabolites leucomalachite green (LMG), and simultaneously remove MG from the contaminated water. 1, as the dual-emission fluorescence sensor, can achieve ultrasensitive and highly visualized sensing for MG and LMG with different response modes. Even in actual samples, 1 still exhibits satisfactory sensing performances. As the adsorbent, 1 displays good recyclability and high adsorption capacity for MG. The sensing and adsorption mechanisms are explored through experiments and theoretical calculations. This work not only provides a novel insight for environmental remediation and human health through detection and removal of carcinogens, simultaneously monitoring their toxic metabolites, but first reveals the enormous potential of HOFs as multifunctional materials simultaneously for fluorescence sensing and adsorption.

Shen HT, Pan XD, Han JL. Distribution and Probabilistic Risk Assessment of Antibiotics, Illegal Drugs, and Toxic Elements in Gastropods from Southeast China. Foods 2024; 13:1166. [PMID: 38672840 PMCID: PMC11049630 DOI: 10.3390/foods13081166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
We investigated fourteen antibiotics, three illegal drugs, and two toxic elements in commercially available gastropods from southeast China. The data revealed high detection frequencies (DFs) for florfenicol (61.32%), florfenicol amine (47.33%), and thiamphenicol (39.88%), with maximum concentrations of 1110, 2222, and 136 μg/kg wet weight (ww), respectively. The DFs of illegal drugs were 3.54% for leucomalachite green and 0.3% for chloramphenicol. The average levels of Cd and As were 1.17 and 6.12 mg/kg ww, respectively. All chemicals presented diverse DFs in different sampling months. The highest DFs of florfenicol, florfenicol amine, and thiamphenicol were in July. The health risk assessment showed that targeted hazard quotients (THQs) of antibiotics, Cd, and As for children, teens, and adults were all less than one. Notably, the toxic elements (Cd and As) were identified as the primary health risk in gastropods, contributing to over 90% of the total THQs.

Evaluating the persistence of malachite green residues in tilapia and pacu fish. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 2024; 106:104382. [PMID: 38325623 DOI: 10.1016/j.etap.2024.104382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
Although banned in food-producing animals, residues of malachite green (MG) and its primary metabolite, leucomalachite green (LMG), have been found in fish due to illegal use in aquaculture and the release of industrial wastewater, which represent a serious risk to food and environmental securities. This study aimed to investigate the residue depletion profile of MG and LMG in edible tissues of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) cultured simultaneously under the same environmental conditions to support control measures in case of abuse. An analytical method involving QuEChERS sample preparation and liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry was developed, validated, and applied to quantify MG and LMG residues in fish fillets from two depletion experiments after treatment by immersion bath (MG at 0.10 mg L-1 for 60 min). During the experiment, the average water temperature was 30 ºC, while the pH was 6.9. The method is selective, precise (CV = 0.4 - 22%) and accurate (recovery 92 - 114%). The limits of detection and quantification are 0.15 and 0.5 ng g-1, respectively. In both species, the sum of MG and LMG residues were quantified up to the 32nd day post-exposure, and the concentrations were significantly higher in the pacu fillets (up to 3284 ng g-1) than in Nile tilapia (up to 432 ng g-1). The sums of MG and LMG residues were below 2 ng g-1 at 44 days and 342 days for Nile tilapia and pacu, respectively - the Minimum Required Performance Limit (MRPL) for analytical methods intended to monitor forbidden substances in food according to old European Commission guidelines. The persistence of MG residues in pacu may be attributed to its higher lipid content, which favors the accumulation of the non-polar metabolite LMG. These results provide insights into the concern about human, animal, and environmental health risks resulting from unauthorized use or aquatic contamination by industrial wastewater containing MG residues.

Talanta 2024; 268:125359.

Abstract
Malachite green (MG) has been banned in aquaculture by many countries due to its high carcinogenicity, high teratogenicity, and easy residue. However, it is cheap and efficient characteristics have made it difficult to eliminate in recent decades, so it is essential to develop a rapid and accurate detection method for MG. Here, a highly Sensitive fluorescent probe based on polyacrylic acid (PAA) functionalized CdSe/CdxZn1-xS quantum dots (QDs) was prepared for the determination of MG. QDs functionalized by PAA (QDs@PAA) were used as energy donors, and MG was used as energy acceptor to construct fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) system. The fluorescence of QDs@PAA could be linearly quenched by MG in the range of 0.05 ⁓ 2 μM, and the detection limit was 0.011 μM. In addition, a small amount of QDs@PAA (30 μL) was printed on the solid substrate by inkjet printing technology to prepare fluorescent test strips. When the concentration of MG was 2 μM, the fluorescent test strips were quenched and the detection process could be completed within 10 s, demonstrating significant potential for rapid visual detection of MG.

Abstract
Water pollution is a significant environmental issue that has emerged because of industrial and economic growth. Human activities such as industrial, agricultural, and technological practices have increased the levels of pollutants in the environment, causing harm to both the environment and public health. Dyes and heavy metals are major contributors to water pollution. Organic dyes are a major concern because of their stability in water and their potential to absorb sunlight, increasing the temperature and disrupting the ecological balance. The presence of heavy metals in the production of textile dyes adds to the toxicity of the wastewater. Heavy metals are a global issue that can harm both human health and the environment and are mainly caused by urbanization and industrialization. To address this issue, researchers have focused on developing effective water treatment procedures, including adsorption, precipitation, and filtration. Among these methods, adsorption is a simple, efficient, and cheap method for removing organic dyes from water. Aerogels have shown potential as a promising adsorbent material because of their low density, high porosity, high surface area, low thermal and electrical conductivity, and ability to respond to external stimuli. Biomaterials such as cellulose, starch, chitosan, chitin, carrageenan, and graphene have been extensively studied for the production of sustainable aerogels for water treatment. Cellulose, which is abundant in nature, has received significant attention in recent years. This review highlights the potential of cellulose-based aerogels as a sustainable and efficient material for removing dyes and heavy metals from water during the treatment process.
