Abstract
Environmental dermatology is the study of how environmental factors affect the integumentary system. The environment includes natural and built habitats, encompassing ambient exposure, occupational exposures, and lifestyle exposures secondary to dietary and personal care choices. This review explores common toxins found in personal care products and packaging, such as bisphenols, parabens, phthalates, per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, p-phenylenediamine, and formaldehyde. Exposure to these toxins has been associated with carcinogenic, obesogenic, or proinflammatory effects that can potentiate disease. In addition, these compounds have been implicated as endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can worsen dermatological conditions such as acne vulgaris, or dermatitis. Certain pollutants found in personal care products are not biodegradable and have the potential to bioaccumulate in humans. Therefore, even short-term exposure can cause long-lasting issues for communities. The skin is often the first point of contact for environmental exposures and serves as the conduit between environmental toxins and the human body. Therefore, it is important for dermatologists to understand common pollutants and their acute, subacute, and chronic impact on dermatological conditions to better diagnose and manage disease.

Innovations in textile wastewater management: a review of zero liquid discharge technology. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:12597-12616. [PMID: 38236573 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-31827-y] [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: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
Zero liquid discharge (ZLD) technology emerges as a transformative solution for sustainable wastewater management in the textile industry, emphasizing water recycling and discharge minimization. This review comprehensively explores ZLD's pivotal role in reshaping wastewater management practices within the textile sector. With a primary focus on water recycling and minimized discharge, the review thoroughly examines the economic and environmental dimensions of ZLD. Additionally, it includes a comparative cost analysis against conventional wastewater treatment methods and offers a comprehensive outlook on the global ZLD market. Presently valued at US $0.71 billion, the market is anticipated to reach US $1.76 billion by 2026, reflecting a robust annual growth rate of 12.6%. Despite ZLD's efficiency in wastewater recovery, environmental challenges, such as heightened greenhouse gas emissions, increased carbon footprint, elevated energy consumption, and chemical usage, are discussed. Methodologies employed in this review involve an extensive analysis of existing literature, empirical data, and case studies on ZLD implementation in the textile industry worldwide. While acknowledging existing adoption barriers, the review underscores ZLD's potential to guide the textile industry toward a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future.

Anti-methicillin resistance Staphylococcus aureus and in vitro toxicology evaluation of corilagin-loaded gelatin/agar microspheres with potential biotextile applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 237:123982. [PMID: 36907297 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.123982] [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: 10/03/2022] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/05/2023] [Indexed: 03/13/2023]
Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has emerged since the early 1960s. The increasing resistance of pathogens to currently used antibiotics requires the urgent discovery of new antimicrobials effective in combating drug-resistant bacteria. From past to present, medicinal plants are useful to cure human diseases. Corilagin (β-1-O-galloyl-3,6-(R)-hexahydroxydiphenoyl-d-glucose), commonly found in Phyllanthus species, exerts potentiating effect on β-lactams against MRSA. However, its biological effect may not be fully utilized. Therefore, incorporating microencapsulation technology with the delivery of corilagin would be more effective in utilizing the potential effect on biomedical applications. This work reports the development of a safe micro-particulate system which combined agar with gelatin as wall matrix materials for topical delivery of corilagin in order to eliminate the potential toxicity of the crosslinker formaldehyde. The optimal parameters for microsphere preparation were identified and the particle size of optimal microspheres was 20.11 μm ± 3.58. Antibacterial studies revealed that micro-trapped corilagin (minimum bactericidal concentration, MBC = 0.5 mg/mL) possessed a higher potency against MRSA than free corilagin (MBC = 1 mg/mL). The in vitro skin cytotoxicity showed the safety of the corilagin-loaded microspheres for topical applications, with approximately 90 % of HaCaT cell viability. Our results demonstrated the potential of corilagin-loaded gelatin/agar microspheres for the applicable bio-textile products to treat drug-resistant bacterial infections.
