Bisphenol S impairs oocyte quality by inducing gut microbiota dysbiosis by Jiaming Zhang, Xiaoxia Yu, Weidong Li, Yunjing Jiang, Liangran Zhang, Shunxin Wang

“…Overall, this study not only demonstrates that BPS exposure impairs the intestine and oocytes by inducing dysbiosis of the gut microbiota but also develops a preventive strategy.IMPORTANCEOocyte development is vulnerable to stimulation by intrinsic and extrinsic factors, particularly many environmental pollutants and chemicals in daily life. The reproductive toxicity of bisphenol S has been of great concern, although it is widely used as a safe substitute for its analog bisphenol A. …”

Mycorrhizal fungi mitigate cadmium leaching losses by decreasing the inorganic cadmium proportion in soil solutions by Wei Li, Jiong Wu, Jie Yan, Xinran Liang, Xiaoyi Li, Yongmei He, Bo Li, Fangdong Zhan

“…Structural equation analysis revealed that the GRSP and LMWOAs were the primary factors driving the potential of AMF to reduce Cd leaching loss from polluted soil. The adsorption of Cd ions by quartz sand increased with the application of GRSP and LMWOAs, which resulted in a 27.6 %–69.5 % reduction in Cd leaching loss in the sand column. …”

Modification of Chitosan-Coated Magnetic Material with Glycidyl-trimethylammonium Chloride for Cr(VI) Adsorption by Salwa Kamilia, Feri Mukhayani, Sutarno Sutarno, Nuryono Nuryono

“…The study of kinetics and adsorption isotherm showed that the adsorption of Cr(VI) anion on the adsorbent MM/Chit/GTMAC (with the mass ratio of Chit to GTMAC 1:6) follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with the adsorption rate constant of 5.3 × 10−3 g mg−1 min−1 and Langmuir isotherms with the adsorption maximum capacity of 104.17 mg g−1, which has a potential to be applied for removing Cr(VI) from polluted wastewater.…”
