Abstract
4-Nonylphenol (4NP) is concerning due to its growing presence and endocrine-disrupting nature, raising concerns about its impact on health. In this study 124I-labeled 4NP was synthesized for in vivo tracing. Positron emission tomography imaging and biodistribution studies showed significant accumulation in various tissues after oral or intraperitoneal administration, emphasizing its intricate distribution and potential long-term effects, crucial for future risk assessments.

Abstract
The worldwide proliferation of persistent environmental pollutants is accelerating at an alarming rate. Not surprisingly, many of these pollutants pose a risk to human health. In this review, we examine recent literature in which molecular imaging and radiochemistry have been harnessed to study environmental pollutants. Specifically, these techniques offer unique ways to interrogate the pharmacokinetic profiles and bioaccumulation patterns of pollutants at environmentally relevant concentrations, thereby helping to determine their potential health risks.

Abstract
Emerging pollutants (EPs) have become a global concern, attracting tremendous attention because of serious threats to human and animal health. EP diversity emanates from their behaviour and ability to enter the body via multiple pathways and exhibit completely different distribution, transport, and excretion. To better understand the in vivo behaviour of EPs, we reviewed radiolabelling and in vivo radionuclide imaging tracking of various EPs, including micro- and nano-plastics, perfluoroalkyl substances, metal oxides, pharmaceutical and personal care products, and so on. Because this accurate and quantitative imaging approach requires the labelling of radionuclides onto EPs, the main strategies for radiolabelling were reviewed, such as synthesis with radioactive precursors, element exchange, proton beam activation, and modification. Spatial and temporal biodistribution of various EPs was summarised in a heat map, revealing that the absorption, transport, and excretion of EPs are markedly related to their type, size, and pathway into the body. These findings implicate the potential toxicity of diverse EPs in organs and tissues. Finally, we discussed the potential and challenges of radionuclide imaging tracking of EPs, which can be considered in future EPs studies.

CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 313:137395.

Abstract
Exposure to diesel particulate matter (DPM) is associated with several adverse health effects, including severe respiratory diseases. Quantitative analysis of DPM in vivo can provide important information on the behavior of harmful chemicals, as well as their toxicological impacts in living subjects. This study presents whole-body images and tissue distributions of DPM in animal models, using molecular imaging and radiolabeling techniques. The self-assembly of the 89Zr-labeled pyrene analog with a suspension of DPM efficiently produced 89Zr-incorporated DPM (89Zr-DPM). Positron emission tomography images were obtained for mice exposed to 89Zr-DPM via three administration routes: intratracheal, oral, and intravenous injection. DPM was largely distributed in the lungs and only slowly cleared after 7 days in mice exposed via the intratracheal route. In addition, a portion of 89Zr-DPM was translocated to other organs, such as the heart, spleen, and liver. Uptake values in these organs were also noticeable following exposure via the intravenous route. In contrast, most of the orally administered DPM was excreted quickly within a day. These results suggest that continuous inhalation exposure to DPM causes serious lung damage and may cause toxic effects in the extrapulmonary organs.

Biodistribution and respiratory toxicity of chloromethylisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone following intranasal and intratracheal administration. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2022; 170:107643. [PMID: 36403329 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2022.107643] [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: 08/30/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
A variety of isothiazolinone-containing small molecules have been registered and used as chemical additives in many household products. However, their biodistribution and potential harmful effects on human health, especially respiratory effects, were not yet identified in sufficient detail. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a biocide comprising a mixture of chloromethylisothiazolinone (CMIT) and methylisothiazolinone (MIT) could reach the lungs and induce lung injury when exposure occurs by two administration routes involving the respiratory tract: intratracheal and intranasal instillation. To investigate the biodistribution of CMIT/MIT, we quantified the uptake of 14C-labeled CMIT/MIT in experimental animals for up to seven days after intratracheal and intranasal instillation. In the toxicity study, lung injury was assessed in mice using total inflammatory cell count in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung histopathology. The results of the biodistribution study indicated that CMIT/MIT were rapidly distributed throughout the respiratory tract. Using quantitative whole-body autoradiogram analysis, we confirmed that following intranasal exposure, CMIT/MIT reached the lungs via the respiratory tract (nose-trachea-lung). After 5 min post intratracheal and intranasal instillation, the amount of radiotracer ([14C]CMIT/MIT) in the lungs was 2720 ng g-1 and 752 ng g-1 tissue, respectively, and lung damage was observed. A higher amount of the radiotracer resulted in higher toxicity. Both intratracheal and intranasal instillation of CMIT/MIT increased inflammatory cell counts in the BALF and induced injuries in the alveoli. The frequency and the severity scores of injuries caused by intratracheal instillation were approximately-four to five times higher than those induced by intranasal instillation. Therefore, we concluded that CMIT/MIT could reach the lungs following nasal and intratracheal exposure and cause lung injuries, and the extent of injury was dependent on the exposure dose.
