JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 476:134916. [PMID: 38909465 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
Plastic-based insulation materials have been widely employed owing to their exceptional durability, cost-effectiveness, low weight, and low thermal conductivity. Nevertheless, the disposal of the insulation material waste (IMW) within construction waste and its recycling and recovery are challenging. Meanwhile, landfilling or incineration methods can release toxic chemicals into the environment. Consequently, the accumulation of IMW in construction waste has become a pressing environmental concern. To address this issue, this paper proposes a pyrolysis platform as a disposal management method for IMW that employs CO2 as a reactive medium. IMW composed of polystyrene in the form of extruded polystyrene underwent pyrolysis to yield pyrogenic products containing toxic chemicals. These toxic chemicals were subsequently transformed into syngas via homogeneous reactions with CO2 under certain thermal conditions and Ni/Al2O3 catalyst. This resulted in a significant reduction in the total peak areas of toxic substances in the pyrogenic oil compared with that obtained using N2 as a medium. Furthermore, the efficacy of CO2 was demonstrated to increase with an increase in the atmospheric concentration. This study implied that catalytic pyrolysis under CO2 conditions is a potential platform for converting toxic chemicals from IMW into syngas through homogeneous reactions with CO2.

Abstract
Incorporating radiative cooling photonic structures into the cooling systems of buildings presents a novel strategy to mitigate global warming and boost global carbon neutrality. Photonic structures with excellent solar reflection and thermal emission can be obtained by a rational combination of different materials. The current preparation strategies of radiative cooling materials are dominated by doping inorganic micro-nano particles into polymers, which usually possess insufficient solar reflectance. Here, a porous polymer metafoam was prepared with polycarbonate (PC) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) using a simple thermally induced phase separation method. The metafoam exhibits strong solar reflectivity (97%), superior thermal emissivity (91%), and low thermal conductivity (46 mW m-1 K-1) due to the controllable morphology of the randomly dispersed light-scattering air voids. Cooling tests demonstrate that the metafoam could reduce the average temperature by 5.2 °C and 10.2 °C during the daytime and nighttime, respectively. In addition, the simulation of a cooling energy system of buildings indicates that the metafoam can save 3.2-26.7 MJ m-2 per year in different cities, which is an energy-saving percentage of 14.7-41%. The excellent comprehensive performances, including the passive cooling property, thermal insulation and self-cleaning of the metafoam makes it appropriate for practical outdoor applications, exhibiting its great potential as an energy-saving building cooling material.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the largest global health emergencies of the 21st century. In recent years, its connection with environmental pollutants, such as bisphenol A (BPA), has been demonstrated; consequently, new structurally similar molecules are used to replace BPA in the plastics industry (BPS, BPF and BPAF). AIM To carry out a systematic review to allow coherent evaluation of the state of the art. Subsequently, a meta-analysis was performed to unify the existing quantitative data. METHODS Firstly, a systematic review was carried out, using the terms "(bisphenol) AND (Diabetes OR Hyperglycemia)", to maximize the number of results. Subsequently, three authors analyzed the set of articles. Finally, a meta-analysis was performed for each BP, using RevMan software. In addition, funnel plots were developed to study publication bias. RESULTS The systematic analysis of the literature revealed 13 recent articles (2017-2023) related to the study paradigm. The qualitative analysis showed interesting data linking diabetes to the three most widely used substitute BPs in the industry: BPS, BPF and BPAF. Finally, the meta-analysis determined a positive relationship with BPS, BPF and BPAF, which was only statistically significant with BPS. CONCLUSION There is a need to apply the precautionary principle, regulating the use of new BPs. Therefore, replacing BPA with BPS, BPF or BPAF is unlikely to protect the population from potential health risks, such as DM.

Combination of Bisphenol A and Its Emergent Substitute Molecules Is Related to Heart Disease and Exerts a Differential Effect on Vascular Endothelium. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:12188.

Abstract
Plastic production, disposal, and recycling systems represent one of the higher challenges for the planet's health. Its direct consequence is the release of endocrine disruptors, such as bisphenol A (BPA), and its emerging substitute molecules, bisphenol F and S (BPF and BPS), into the environment. Consequently, bisphenols are usually present in human biological fluids. Since BPA, BPS, and BPF have structural analogies and similar hormonal activity, their combined study is urgently needed. The present manuscript studied the effect of the mixture of bisphenols (BPmix) in one of the world's largest human cohorts (NHANES cohort). Descriptive and comparative statistics, binomial and multinomial logistic regression, weighted quantile sum regression, quantile g-computation, and Bayesian kernel machine regression analysis determined a positive association between BPmix and heart disease, including confounders age, gender, BMI, ethnicity, Poverty/Income Ratio, and serum cotinine. Endothelial dysfunction is a hallmark of cardiovascular disease; thus, the average ratio of bisphenols found in humans was used to conduct murine aortic endothelial cell studies. The first results showed that BPmix had a higher effect on cell viability than BPA, enhancing its deleterious biological action. However, the flow cytometry, Western blot, and immunofluorescence assays demonstrated that BPmix induces a differential effect on cell death. While BPA exposure induces necroptosis, its combination with the proportion determined in the NHANES cohort induces apoptosis. In conclusion, the evidence suggests the need to reassess research methodologies to study endocrine disruptors more realistically.

Abstract
Spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and benzene-containing polymers (BCPs) are two major pollutants that cause serious environmental burdens. Herein, spent LIBs and BCPs are copyrolyzed in a sealed reactor to generate Li2CO3, metals, and/or metal oxides without emitting toxic benzene-based gases. The use of a closed reactor allows the sufficient reduction reaction between the BCP-derived polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) gases and lithium transition metal oxides, achieving the Li recovery efficiencies of 98.3, 99.9, and 97.5% for LiCoO2, LiMn2O4, and LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2, respectively. More importantly, the thermal decomposition of PAHs (e.g., phenol and benzene) is further catalyzed by the in situ generated Co, Ni, and MnO2 particles, which forms metal/carbon composites and thus prevent the emissions of toxic gases. Overall, the copyrolysis in a closed system paves a green way to synergistically recycle spent LIBs and handle waste BCPs.

Abstract
Plastic waste pollution is one of the leading environmental problems of modern society. Its use, disposal, and recycling lead to the release of xenobiotic compounds such as bisphenol A (BPA), a known endocrine disruptor related to numerous pathologies. Due to the new restrictions on its use, it is gradually being replaced by derived molecules, such as bisphenol F or S (BPF or BPS), whose health risks have not yet been adequately studied. In the present work, significant relationships between the new BPA substitute molecules and renal and cardiovascular diseases have been detected by performing binomial and multinomial logistic regressions in one of the world's largest cohorts of urinary phenols. The results have shown a significant relationship between urinary BPF and renal function or heart disease (specifically congestive heart failure). Urinary BPS has shown a positive relationship with the risk of hypertension and a negative relationship with kidney disease. Consequently, applying new substitute molecules could imply potential health risks equivalent to BPA.
