Abstract
A new hybrid bionanomaterial composed of graphene oxide (GO) and Spirulina maxima (SM) algae was synthesized and applied to develop a preconcentration method based on the dispersive micro-solid phase extraction (D-μ-SPE) technique for the determination of Pb in water and infant beverages. In this work, Pb(II) was extracted with 3 mg of the hybrid bionanomaterial (GO@SM) followed by a back-extraction step using 500 µL of 0.6 mol L-1 HCl. Then, a 1.5 × 10-3 mol L-1 dithizone solution was added to the sample containing the analyte to form a purplish red-colored complex for its detection by UV-Vis spectrophotometry at 553 nm. An extraction efficiency of 98% was obtained after optimization of experimental variables such as GO@SM mass, pH, sample volume, type, and time of agitation. A detection limit of 1 μg L-1 and a relative standard deviation of 3.5% (at 5 μg L-1 Pb(II), n = 10) were achieved. The calibration linear range was obtained between 3.3 and 95 µg L-1 Pb(II). The proposed method was successfully applied for the preconcentration and determination of Pb(II) in infant beverages. Finally, the greenness degree of the D-µ-SPE method was evaluated using the Analytical GREEnness calculator (AGREE), obtaining a score of 0.62.

Abstract
A novel magnetic Luffa@TiO2 sorbent was synthesized and characterized by using XRD, FTIR and SEM techniques. Magnetic Luffa@TiO2 was used for solid phase extraction of Pb(II) in food and water samples prior to its flame atomic absorption spectrometric (FAAS) detection. The analytical parameters such as pH, adsorbent quantity, type and volume of eluent, and foreign ions were optimized. Analytical features such as the limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) of Pb(II) are 0.04 μg L-1 and 0.13 μg L-1 for liquid samples and 0.159 ng/g and 0.529 ng/g for solid samples, respectively. The preconcentration factor (PF) and relative standard deviation (RSD%) were found 50, and 4 % respectively. The method was validated by using three certified reference materials (NIST SRM 1577b bovine liver, TMDA-53.3 and TMDA-64.3fortified water). The presented method was applied to lead contents of some food and natural water samples.

Sex-specific effects of fluoride and lead on thyroid endocrine function in zebrafish (Danio rerio). Chem Biol Interact 2022; 367:110151. [PMID: 36089061 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2022.110151] [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: 07/11/2022] [Revised: 08/20/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Fluoride (F) and lead (Pb) are widespread pollutants in the environment. F and Pb affect the thyroid endocrine system, but the mechanism of action between F and Pb is still unclear. In this study, in order to evaluate the effects of F or/and Pb on histopathological changes, antioxidant indices, the levels of thyroid hormones (THs), and the expression of endocrine-related genes in zebrafish thyroid. One thousand and two hundred zebrafish (female:male = 1:1) were randomly divided into four groups: control group (C group), 80 mg/L F group (F group), 60 mg/L Pb group (Pb group), and 80 mg/L F + 60 mg/L Pb group (F + Pb group) for 45 d and 90 d. Histopathological sections showed a loss of glia and follicular epithelial hyperplasia in the thyroid gland after exposure to F and Pb. Oxidative stress in the thyroid was induced after F and Pb exposure. And each oxidation index was increased after F + Pb exposure. Combined F and Pb exposure aggravated the downregulation of thyroid hormones T3 and T4 compared to exposure alone. Furthermore, F and Pb exposure altered the expression of thyroid endocrine-related genes in a time-dependent manner. These results indicate that F and Pb can affect the endocrine system of thyroid by changing the tissue structure, antioxidant capacity, thyroid hormone secretion and the levels of endocrine-related genes in thyroid. F and Pb can also produce toxic effects on thyroid, but the degree of poisoning is different in different indicators, mainly for the additive effect between them. Additionally, males are more sensitive than females to F or Pb toxicity. However, the specific molecular mechanism of the effects of F and Pb on thyroid endocrine system needs to be further studied.

Feasibility of calcium alginate beads to preconcentrate lead in river water samples prior to determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry.

Abstract
Lead (Pb) is a potentially toxic element with significant environmental interest. Simple and sensitive analytical methods are necessary to allow determination of this element at trace levels using sample preparation procedures related to green chemistry. For this, calcium alginate beads (CA-beads), a low-cost and environmentally friendly biopolymer, have been proposed for extraction and preconcentration of Pb2+ in river water samples and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). CA-beads were prepared and applied to extract and preconcentrate Pb2+ in river water samples, providing an enrichment factor (EF) of 50, enhancement factor (E) of 54, a detection limit of 2 μg L-1, and a relative standard deviation < 5%. The extraction of Pb2+ in CA-beads achieved good selectivity, with recoveries from 94.8 to 100.2% in real samples, demonstrating the good accuracy of the proposed method. The results were also compared to those obtained by ICP-MS. The reuse of CA-beads was evaluated for six cycles, and under these conditions, the extraction and preconcentration efficiency of Pb2+ were not significantly affected. The developed methodology was applied to determine Pb2+ in water samples from rivers that are part of the hydrographic areas of Tibagi and Pitangui Rivers, in which the Pb2+ concentration was less than 2 μg L-1, a concentration lower than that established by Brazilian legislation for class I and II rivers.

Carbon xerogels combined with nanotubes as solid-phase extraction sorbent to determine metaflumizone and seven other surface and drinking water micropollutants. Sci Rep 2021; 11:13817.

Abstract
Carbon xerogels (CXs) were synthesized by polycondensation of resorcinol and formaldehyde, followed by thermal annealing, and subjected to hydrothermal oxidation. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges were filled with CXs and tested for extraction of metaflumizone and other seven environmental micropollutants (acetamiprid, atrazine, isoproturon, methiocarb, carbamazepine, diclofenac, and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) before chromatographic analysis. The recoveries obtained with the pristine CX were low for most analytes, except for metaflumizone (69 ± 5%). Moreover, it was concluded that the adsorption/desorption process of the micropollutants performed better on CXs with a less acidic surface (i.e., pristine CX). Thus, cartridges were prepared with pristine CX and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in a multi-layer configuration. This reusable cartridge was able to simultaneously extract the eight micropollutants and was used to validate an analytical methodology based on SPE followed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A widespread occurrence of 6/8 target compounds was observed in surface water collected in rivers supplying three drinking water treatment plants and in the resulting drinking water at the endpoint of each distribution system. Therefore, the first study employing CXs and MWCNTs as sorbent in multi-layer SPE cartridges is herein reported as a proof of concept for determination of multi-class water micropollutants.

Controllable preparation and performance of bio-based poly(lactic acid-iminodiacetic acid) as sustained-release Pb 2+ chelating agent. iScience 2021; 24:102518.

Abstract
The bio-based lactic acid (LA) and the common metal ion chelating agent iminodiacetic acid (IDA) are used to design and prepare a polymeric sustained-release Pb2+ chelating agent by a brief one-step reaction. After the analysis on theoretical calculation for this reaction, poly(lactic acid-iminodiacetic acid) [P(LA-co-IDA)] with different monomer molar feed ratios is synthesized via direct melt polycondensation. P(LA-co-IDA) mainly has star-shaped structure, and some of them have two-core or three-core structure. Thus, a possible mechanism of the polymerization is proposed. The degradation rate of P(LA-co-IDA)s can reach 70% in 4 weeks. The change of IDA release rate is consistent with the trend of the degradation rate, and the good Pb2+ chelating performance is confirmed. P(LA-co-IDA) is expected to be developed as a lead poisoning treatment drug or Pb2+ adsorbent in the environment with long-lasting effect, and this research provides a new strategy for the development of such drugs.

Abstract
Lead contamination in drinking and natural water has reached alarming concentrations, thus necessitating the development of accurate and rapid determination systems for Pb(II) in aqueous systems. Two hyphenated flow injection-solid phase extraction- FAAS (FI-SPE-FAAS) systems using oxidized and m-phenylenediamine functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes for Pb(II) preconcentration from industrially contaminated real water samples have been proposed. The chemical and hydrodynamic parameters affecting Pb(II) sorption/desorption were optimized. The effect of common interfering ions in water was also studied. Different figures of merit such as preconcentration factor (> 70), detection limit (≤ 1.5 µg L-1), and relative standard deviation (≤ 1.3%) were achieved at the preconcentration time of 120 s for both the preconcentration systems. The method was applied to industrially contaminated real water samples and the spike recovery tests were carried out using standard Pb(II) solution traceable to NIST. The proposed method was validated using standard reference material 1640a supplied by NIST Gaithersburg, MD, USA.
