Urban bus commuters are exposed to a range of traffic-related air pollutants, including black carbon (BC) particles, a major hazardous component of vehicle exhaust emissions. This study provides the first assessment of in-cabin BC concentrations aboard diesel-fuelled public buses in Montevideo, Uruguay. Our objective was to assess BC concentrations during evening peak commuting hours and to examine how specific traffic elements, such as bus stops, traffic lights and traffic volume, influence exposure levels. We implemented a structured sampling strategy to maximise the reliability of our findings by collecting data during four consecutive weekdays within the same timeframe (17:00–18:00 h) in May 2019. We measured BC concentrations at a high-frequency sampling rate using a handheld aethalometer, focusing on two bus routes. The mean in-cabin BC concentration was 14.28 ± 14.38 μg m⁻³, with considerable spatial variability. Notably, BC concentrations were significantly higher at traffic lights and bus stops, where stop-and-go driving patterns and idling contribute to increased emissions, while the constant opening and closing of doors allows outside air to infiltrate. We found a positive trend between traffic volume and median BC concentrations, consistent with previous studies conducted in other cities. Compared to similar studies in South America, BC concentrations were found to be intermediate, but considerably higher than those observed in North American and European cities. This study underscores the importance of implementing targeted interventions in urban transport policies, specifically addressing congestion points, like bus stops and traffic lights, to effectively reduce commuter exposure to harmful air pollutants. Whilst our study focused on Montevideo, interventions to combat traffic-related air pollutants should be expanded across Latin American cities, where reliance on diesel-powered public transportation remains prevalent. © 2025 The Authors

The principles of circular economy encourage the recovery of phosphorus from nutrient-rich waste streams such as animal manure, domestic wastewater, and urine to supplement existing sources of raw phosphorus. However, these waste streams also contain a wide variety of contaminants of emerging concern including antibiotics, and the recovery of phosphorus from these waste streams results in the co-occurrence of antibiotics with the recovered phosphorus products. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the fate of environmentally relevant antibiotics in three major existing and upcoming phosphorus recovery processes: precipitation-, membrane-, and adsorption-based treatment. In general, the co-occurrence of antibiotics in recovered phosphorus increases with the presence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and cations due to π-π interaction and cationic bridge formation, respectively. Additionally, antibiotics display pH-based speciation resulting in electrostatic interactions with recovered phosphorus at pH > 7.0. Furthermore, this critical review establishes a new metric, the relative antibiotic-to‑phosphorus (RAP), defined as the ratio of the concentration of antibiotics to phosphorus in recovered phosphorus to that of the phosphorus-rich waste. Precipitation-based methods, particularly struvite, demonstrated the lowest RAP, while the RAP in carbon-based adsorbents was 1.8 × 108 times higher than in membrane-based processes. In reviewing literature on the fate of antibiotics in phosphorus recovery processes, several research needs are also highlighted: the fate of non-tetracycline antibiotics, simultaneous investigation of phosphorus and antibiotic fate in membrane- and adsorption-based methods, treatment methods to mitigate the co-occurrence of antibiotics in recovered phosphorus product, and the release of antibiotics from recovered phosphate products. © 2024

Calcium hydroxyapatite (C10(PO4)6(OH)2;CHAp) and metal-substituted samples (Fe:CHAp, Cu:CHAp, and Zn:CHAp) were synthesized using a recently developed method. This method involved the wet precipitation of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), followed by solid-state reaction synthesis of α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP), and finally hydrothermal synthesis of CHAp. The effect of Fe3+, Cu2+, and Zn2+ substitution on the phase purity and antimicrobial properties of CHAp are summarized in this study. Notably, it highlights the phase purity of CHAp and Zn:CHAp (in the presence of Fe3+ and Cu2+ ions, the α- and β-TCP phases have formed) as well as the antimicrobial activity of Zn:CHAp and Cu:CHAp against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. The synthesized nanosized CHAp, Fe:CHAp, Cu:CHAp, and Zn:CHAp samples were used as additives in the preparation of skin creams. In vitro biological studies of the resulting skin creams demonstrated their antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and showed a reduction in osteoblasts cells viability of in the range of 20–40 %. The addition of zinc enhances antimicrobial efficacy but reduces biocompatibility, while copper maintains both high antimicrobial activity and biocompatibility, making it more suitable for the development of medical or cosmetic materials. Dermal creams containing CHAp with copper and iron ions also show significant antimicrobial activity while preserving good cell viability. These results highlight the importance of optimizing the balance between antimicrobial effectiveness and biocompatibility in these materials. © 2024

Increasing threats to global water resources from climate change emphasize the importance of comprehending its impacts on hydrology for effective water management. This article quantifies climate input uncertainty in streamflow projections for the Libmanan-Pulantuna Watershed (LPW) in the Bicol River Basin, Philippines. Using the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model, we simulated streamflow based on future climate projections (FCPs) from Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) greenhouse-gas emission scenarios, utilizing Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phases 5 (CMIP5) and 6 (CMIP6) datasets. Four Global Circulation Models (GCMs) and three bias correction techniques (Linear Scaling, Quantile Mapping, and Detrended Quantile Mapping) were applied. Results showed significant differences between the CMIP datasets, with raw CMIP6 better capturing historical climate patterns. Bias correction methods reduced projection biases in precipitation and air temperatures. Projections revealed increasing low flows and decreasing high flows, especially under high-emission scenarios, worsening water shortages during critical periods. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed that climate models were a major source of uncertainty in hydrological projections. Combined FCPs and GCMs contributed to 50%-75% of total uncertainty across flow percentiles and future periods (near-future, mid-future, far-future). These findings underscore the importance of careful model selection and effective bias correction for reliable hydrological projections, crucial for water management strategies in areas like the Bicol River Basin, where water resources are essential for communities and ecosystems. © 2025, The Authors.

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging pollutants that accumulate in ecosystems, food chains, and the human body, raising concerns about human health risks. However, understanding their toxicity remains challenging due to limited experimental data and the poor performance of conventional machine learning models on small, fragmented datasets. To address this, we developed a transfer learning-based quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model to predict MNP-induced cytotoxicity. Our approach leverages a three-layer neural network pre-trained on a large nanoparticle dataset and fine-tuned on three small MNP datasets. By incorporating experimental annotations (e.g., dose, exposure time) and quantum chemistry descriptors, the model enhances predictive reliability despite data scarcity. The transfer learning QSAR model achieved high performance (ROC-AUC = 0.88, balanced accuracy = 0.83), outperforming traditional methods. Feature importance analysis identified surface functionalization and dose as critical predictors of cytotoxicity. The results also suggest that nanoplastics may induce cytotoxicity more rapidly than microplastics, even with shorter exposure durations. This study demonstrates the utility of transfer learning in environmental toxicology and supports its use for emerging contaminants where data are limited. Future work will focus on expanding dataset diversity and refining models to improve generalizability for regulatory and risk assessment applications. © 2025, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Drought is a climatic phenomenon that has increased in severity over time. This study analyzed drought spread in the Alto Patía basin (13,047 km2) in South America, applying the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Vegetation Health Index (VHI), and Streamflow Drought Index (SDI) to assess meteorological, agricultural, and hydrological drought, respectively. Synchronous and asynchronous correlations were estimated, and Wavelet analysis was conducted to verify relationships among drought types. Results show that the lag between drought types varies based on the intensity, temporal continuity, and spatial extent of meteorological drought. A lag of zero months (1–2 months) was observed between meteorological and hydrological drought when moderate (severe) meteorological drought partially (fully) covers the basin. Agricultural drought, however, does not always correspond to meteorological drought during isolated rainfall events. As the first study in Colombia to systematically connect these drought types, this research addresses a gap in understanding how drought impacts progress across systems in regions with complex rainfall patterns. These findings offer critical insights into the interdependencies among drought types, supporting enhanced drought monitoring and early warning systems in similar climatic regions. By identifying specific lags between meteorological and hydrological droughts, this study provides practical guidance for land management, water conservation, and crop planning, offering a foundation for future research on drought resilience strategies.

Ecosystems such as wetlands have karst groundwater as their primary source of preserving their services and functions. Karst systems are complex hydrogeological systems that are difficult to study because of their complicated functioning mechanism, which requires an interdisciplinary effort based on hydrodynamic assessment and characterization of the hydrogeology of the system. The study area is the Ramsar wetland Ciénaga de Tamasopo (Mexico), which is dependent on the discharge of karst groundwater that is affected by water extraction of extensive sugarcane agriculture and is also the main water source for the rural towns. Hydrogeochemical and isotopic tools further suggest that at least two distinct sources contribute to the groundwater composition in the Ciénaga de Tamasopo basin. One corresponds to meteoric water recharging the aquifer through karst structures of the El Abra Fm. and Tamasopo Fm. inferring a local flow with an isotopic composition of δ18O (− 4.75 to − 4.20‰) and δ2H (− 29.12 to − 23.86‰). The second is associated with regional-intermediate flow, indicating that the water has an enrichment of heavy δ18O (− 6.90 to − 6.65‰) and δ2H (− 41.37 to − 40.41‰) isotopes circulating in the Guaxcamá Fm. EC and temperature variations were evaluated, determining that the EC tends to increase in the rainy season because of the mixing of local and intermediate flows and that there is evidence of temperature increase. The chemical analysis identified the dominant processes in this karst system as dissolution–precipitation of calcite, dolomite, and gypsum by water–rock interaction, mixing, and evaporation. This study facilitated the development of a conceptual model for understanding groundwater movement in warm and sub-humid climate karst systems. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2025.

Contamination of aquatic and terrestrial organisms by Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), emerging contaminants, is widespread, as these compounds are present in water, soil, air, and food, owing to their environmental persistence. PFAS exposure induces biochemical process alterations associated with the disruption of the antioxidant defense system in several species. This review aims to discuss how PFAS-induced antioxidant system alterations lead to changes in biochemical processes in different organisms exposed to these pollutants. This disruption, then leads to an imbalance in antioxidant defense systems, contributing to the formation of reactive oxidative species (ROS), which, in turn, can be exacerbate oxidative stress, induce cellular damage, enhance lipid peroxidation, destabilize lysosomal membranes, and cause genotoxic effects, ultimately compromising DNA integrity. In acute tests, PFAS have led to mortality, growth inhibition, diminished behavioral and locomotor abilities, and reproductive impairment. PFAS-induced effects differ with varying species or types of substances, and further bioaccumulation through food chains exacerbates environmental contamination, carrying considerable risks. These findings demonstrate the complex and enduring impact of PFAS on environmental health, emphasizing the importance of this review in corroborating studies on sub-lethal toxicity in exposed organisms and how these effects reflect on the environment. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.

The hydrolysis of DNA serves as the foundational principle for gene engineering that enable precise gene cleavage at the molecular level. This process typically occurs in biological nucleases, which exhibit nucleobase-selective and catalytic hydrolysis capabilities rarely replicated in abiotic nanomaterials. Here, we demonstrate that molybdenum-terminated (Mo-terminated) edges of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) possess the unique ability to abstract a proton (H+) from water molecules, thereby facilitating catalytic hydrolysis reactions that cleave the phosphodiester bonds in DNA through the action of hydroxide ions. The enhanced proton absorption at Mo-terminated edges of MoS2 significantly reduces the activation energy required for the DNA hydrolysis reaction. Furthermore, the favorable interaction between the Mo-terminated edges and thymine nucleobases promotes both charge transfer and P-O bond cleavage, enabling targeted DNA hydrolysis at 'TTTTTTT' sequences under dark conditions. This discovery underscores the potential of MoS2 as a stable, efficient nanosystem for precise genetic editing, heralding advanced applications in the field of gene engineering. © 2025 The Author(s)

Investigation of Cyanobacteria-Hosted Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Cyanohab-Impacted Drinking Water Sources

Freshwater cyanobacterial blooms (cyanoHABs) produce cyanotoxins that cause human and animal illness. cyanoHABs are also hypothesized to play a role in the antibiotic resistome, but whether Cyanobacteria host clinically-relevant antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) in the environment is largely unknown. To investigate this emerging issue, we looked for the presence of Cyanobacteria-hosted ARGs using shotgun metagenomic sequencing of drinking water source samples collected during the 2022 bloom season from Lake Erie and Grand Lake St. Marys (GLSM). . ARGs were annotated using DeepARG and Resistance Gene Identifier (RGI). Cyanobacteria were annotated to host genes conferring possible antibiotic resistance. Two of these genes were rpoB2 and arlR, but these genes were likely spurious hits on housekeeping genes. qac and OXA genes were also annotated. While those hits suggest potential resistance to clinical antibiotics, overall Cyanobacteria did not host appreciable clinically-relevant ARGs. Because the two drinking water sources historically have high cyanotoxin concentrations, selected cyanotoxins, Cyanobacteria, and ARGs were chosen for quantification. We found high levels of Microcystis in Lake Erie and Planktothrix in GLSM, and high microcystin concentrations in GLSM, supporting previous trends in these water bodies. This study takes a novel approach pairing the issues of cyanoHABs and ARGs together in two drinking water sources. In a changing climate, drinking water treatment strategies should consider the treatment and public health implications of multiple contaminants. © 2025, The Authors. All rights reserved.
