The effects of climate change on human health are supported by extensive scientific evidence. There is a close association between global warming, air pollution, and asthma. Patients with asthma are particularly vulnerable to the environmental alterations associated with climate change. This review summarizes the research from the past decade (2013–2024) on how climate change influences asthma, examining its direct and indirect effects such as alterations in air quality, allergen exposure, and extreme weather events. The review highlights the complex interplay between climate change and asthma and underscores the need for integrated public health strategies to mitigate these impacts. This review also highlights the novel insights of synergistic effects between air pollutants and allergens, which are exacerbated by climate change, in worsening asthma symptoms.

Effects of microplastics on water disinfection and formation of disinfection by-products 微塑料对水消毒及消毒副产物形成的影响
IF 6.7 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-08-01 Epub Date: 2025-05-15 DOI: 10.1016/j.coesh.2025.100632

The presence of microplastics (MPs) in water systems has emerged as a significant concern due to their persistence, ubiquity, and potential to interfere with treatment processes. While some studies have investigated the interactions of MPs with disinfectants and MPs’ potential to act as precursors for disinfection by-products (DBPs), most have relied on laboratory setups that employ unrealistically high concentrations of MPs and disinfectants doses. These conditions fail to replicate the complex effects of background chemistry, the presence of microbial communities, and other aspects of environmental dynamics typical of actual water treatment plants (WTPs) and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The results from such studies cannot be used to unambiguously understand and predict the real-world scenarios of MP effects, thereby limiting real-world applicability of the model experiments. Another aspect of MP-associated effects is their role as carriers for pathogens, antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs), and disinfectant-resistant genes (DRGs), along with their capacity to interfere with disinfection efficacy while forming a potential habitat for microbial communities. The study calls for a paradigm shift towards more realistic field-representative studies that are needed to bridge the gap between lab and field results and ultimately accurately assess the risks that MPs pose in water treatment contexts.
微塑料(MPs)在水系统中的存在已成为一个重大问题,因为它们的持久性,普遍性和潜在的干扰处理过程。虽然一些研究调查了MPs与消毒剂的相互作用以及MPs作为消毒副产物(DBPs)前体的潜力,但大多数研究依赖于使用不切实际的高浓度MPs和消毒剂剂量的实验室设置。这些条件无法复制背景化学,微生物群落的存在以及实际水处理厂(WTPs)和废水处理厂(WWTPs)典型的环境动力学的其他方面的复杂影响。这些研究的结果不能用于明确地理解和预测MP效应的实际情况,从而限制了模型实验的实际适用性。mp相关效应的另一个方面是它们作为病原体、抗生素耐药基因(ARGs)和消毒剂耐药基因(DRGs)的载体,以及它们在为微生物群落形成潜在栖息地的同时干扰消毒效果的能力。该研究呼吁将范式转向更现实的实地代表性研究,以弥合实验室和实地结果之间的差距,并最终准确评估MPs在水处理环境中造成的风险。

Air quality in the era of climate change: Bioaerosols, multi-exposures, and the emerging threats of respiratory allergies and infectious diseases 气候变化时代的空气质量:生物气溶胶,多重暴露,以及呼吸道过敏和传染病的新威胁
IF 6.7 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-08-01 Epub Date: 2025-05-27 DOI: 10.1016/j.coesh.2025.100634

With the rising global burden of allergies and asthma, bioaerosols have gained the attention of physicians and researchers over the past decades. However, bioaerosols still remain underestimated, excluded from EU Directives. This work points out that respiratory diseases, an emerging human health risk, may be predicted and appropriately managed only if the entirety of co- and multi-exposures, biogenic as well as mixed (chemical-biological) is considered, especially for vulnerable population groups. Here we present an overview of the state of the art in bioaerosol research and its challenges, and pinpoint unmet research and policy needs in a rapidly changing world.
随着全球过敏和哮喘负担的增加,生物气溶胶在过去几十年里引起了医生和研究人员的注意。然而,生物气溶胶仍然被低估,被排除在欧盟指令之外。这项工作指出,呼吸道疾病是一种新出现的人类健康风险,只有考虑到共同和多重暴露的全部情况,包括生物和混合(化学-生物)暴露,才能预测和适当管理,特别是对弱势群体而言。在这里,我们概述了生物气溶胶研究的现状及其挑战,并指出在快速变化的世界中未满足的研究和政策需求。

Micro(nano)plastics in the fish gastrointestinal tract: A mini review and relevance to One Health perspective 微(纳米)塑料在鱼类胃肠道:一个小回顾和相关的一个健康的角度
IF 6.7 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-08-01 Epub Date: 2025-06-21 DOI: 10.1016/j.coesh.2025.100645

Micro(nano)plastics (MNPs) research in the piscine gastrointestinal tract has been a significant area of study. Understanding the environmental presence of microplastics, their potential for both localised and systemic effects, and their role as a gateway for MNPs and associated chemicals to enter the tissues and the food web, including the human food chain, is crucial. The fish gut, as a critical intersection between environmental, biotic, and human health, aligns with the One Health concept. We review the likely uptake mechanisms and toxicological damage caused by ingesting MNPs and their associated chemicals in fish, contextualised within the realms of digestive physiology and biological plausibility.
微(纳)塑料(MNPs)在鱼类胃肠道中的研究一直是一个重要的研究领域。了解微塑料在环境中的存在,它们对局部和全身的潜在影响,以及它们作为MNPs和相关化学物质进入组织和食物网(包括人类食物链)的门户的作用,至关重要。鱼肠作为环境、生物和人类健康之间的关键交叉点,与“同一个健康”概念一致。我们回顾了鱼类摄取MNPs及其相关化学物质可能造成的摄取机制和毒理学损害,并在消化生理学和生物学的范围内进行了分析。

Sand and dust storms are frequent environmental events characterized by high winds lifting large amounts of dust, reducing visibility and affecting air quality globally. While natural sources such as deserts are the primary contributors to dust emissions, human activities like deforestation and unsustainable agriculture, compounded by climate change, significantly enhance soil erosion, increasing dust storm prevalence. These storms carry high concentrations of pollutants across large distances, posing serious health risks. This review summarizes the different health impacts of dust storms using the most recent epidemiological evidence across several regions. Recent advancements in epidemiological research can guide future research to mitigate these effects.
沙尘暴是一种频繁的环境事件,其特征是大风带来大量灰尘,降低能见度并影响全球空气质量。虽然沙漠等自然来源是沙尘排放的主要来源,但森林砍伐和不可持续农业等人类活动,加上气候变化,大大加剧了土壤侵蚀,增加了沙尘暴的发生率。这些风暴将高浓度的污染物带到很远的地方,造成严重的健康风险。本综述利用几个地区最新的流行病学证据总结了沙尘暴对健康的不同影响。流行病学研究的最新进展可以指导今后减轻这些影响的研究。

Bioelectric toilet for sustainable on-site wastewater management 可持续现场污水管理的生物电厕所
IF 6.7 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-08-01 Epub Date: 2025-06-18 DOI: 10.1016/j.coesh.2025.100639

Mounting global water scarcity, environmental degradation, and a lack of centralized wastewater management infrastructure in widespread and remote areas of developing countries invite innovative and sustainable approaches for on-site wastewater management. To address the above concern, a bioelectrochemically assisted on-site toilet waste treatment stands out as a cutting-edge and innovative technology, uniquely capable of addressing the intricate issues posed by poor on-site wastewater management. A “Bioelectric Toilet” treats human wastewater on-site using microbial fuel cells (MFCs)-based system while simultaneously harvesting bioelectricity. Further, under anaerobic conditions, this system converts the organic substrate to carbon dioxide instead of methane, ammonia to nitrogen, and sulphide to elemental sulfur, providing a convincing avenue for attaining global environment-friendly sanitation and sustainability goals, at the same time avoiding odor problem. This review explores the design concept, operational mechanism, and implications of Bioelectric Toilets. Furthermore, it assesses the potential benefits, obstacles, and future possibilities of widespread adoption of Bioelectric Toilets in various socioeconomic circumstances.
日益严重的全球水资源短缺、环境退化以及发展中国家广泛和偏远地区缺乏集中的废水管理基础设施,需要采用创新和可持续的方法进行现场废水管理。为了解决上述问题,生物电化学辅助现场厕所废物处理作为一项尖端和创新技术脱颖而出,能够独特地解决现场废水管理不善所带来的复杂问题。“生物电厕所”利用微生物燃料电池(mfc)系统现场处理人类废水,同时收集生物电。此外,在厌氧条件下,该系统将有机底物转化为二氧化碳而不是甲烷,将氨转化为氮,将硫化物转化为单质硫,为实现全球环境友好型卫生和可持续发展目标提供了令人信服的途径,同时避免了气味问题。本文探讨了生物电厕所的设计理念、运行机制及其意义。此外,它还评估了在各种社会经济环境下广泛采用生物电厕所的潜在好处、障碍和未来可能性。

This paper offers a comprehensive examination of the global footprint of pesticides consumption, revealing the disproportionate usage in high-income countries and highlighting the severe environmental and health risks posed by chemicals such as organochlorines and organophosphates. While numerous studies have been conducted on assessing the fate and transport of pesticides in the natural environment in developed nations, however, there is pressing need for similar research in developing regions, within South-East Asia, Latin America, and the African Union. Due to the cumulative nature of pesticides and the duration of exposure, it was expected that biota would show higher average, minimum, and maximum concentrations, along with increased variability. Water appears to be slightly more contaminated than sediment, but the most concerning revelation is the prevalence of pesticides in the air. Emphasizing the urgency of sustainable practices, the paper proposes microcosmic understanding on the degradation of pesticides, their contribution to antimicrobial resistance, and the development of environmentally friendly alternatives.
本文全面考察了农药消费的全球足迹,揭示了高收入国家不成比例的使用情况,并强调了有机氯和有机磷等化学品造成的严重环境和健康风险。虽然已经进行了许多关于评估发达国家自然环境中农药的命运和运输的研究,但是,迫切需要在东南亚、拉丁美洲和非洲联盟的发展中地区进行类似的研究。由于农药的累积性质和暴露时间,预计生物群将显示更高的平均、最低和最高浓度,同时变异性也会增加。水的污染程度似乎比沉积物稍高,但最令人担忧的是空气中农药的普遍存在。强调可持续实践的紧迫性,本文提出了对农药降解的微观认识,它们对抗菌素耐药性的贡献,以及开发环境友好的替代品。

Over the past decade, amphibians have increasingly been used as model organisms to study a variety of environmental factors and contaminants, along with their effects at different developmental stages. Significant advancements, such as the standardization of research techniques, the development of specific biomarkers, and the introduction of new species for experimental purposes, have greatly enhanced the field of amphibian ecotoxicology. This review discusses recent advancements in ecotoxicological studies on amphibians, with particular emphasis on species from South America, methodological aspects, and the latest effect assessments of metals, pesticides, and other emerging pollutants (micro/nanoplastics, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products).
在过去的十年中,两栖动物越来越多地被用作模式生物来研究各种环境因素和污染物,以及它们在不同发育阶段的影响。研究技术的标准化、特定生物标志物的开发以及新物种的引入等重大进展,极大地促进了两栖动物生态毒理学领域的发展。本文综述了两栖动物生态毒理学研究的最新进展,重点介绍了南美两栖动物的生态毒理学研究、方法方面的研究以及金属、农药和其他新兴污染物(微/纳米塑料、药物和个人护理产品)的最新影响评估。

Wildfires are projected to become more frequent, intense, and longer-lasting under climate change, substantially elevating population exposure to wildfire smoke. Future projections suggest that health impacts of wildfire smoke will peak during the mid-21st century under high-emission scenarios; however, persistent uncertainties in exposure assessment and concentration-response relationships need to be addressed. Effective mitigation of increasing health impacts requires long-term planning, based on the integration of climate modelling, exposure assessment, and evidence from epidemiology. Wildfire smoke exposure reduction approaches including early warning systems, indoor air filtration, and other measures can be embedded within a broader public health and climate adaptation policy framework.
预计在气候变化的影响下,野火将变得更加频繁、激烈和持续时间更长,大大增加了人口暴露于野火烟雾的风险。未来预测表明,在高排放情景下,野火烟雾对健康的影响将在21世纪中期达到峰值;然而,暴露评估和浓度-反应关系中持续存在的不确定性需要解决。有效减轻日益增加的健康影响需要在综合气候模拟、接触评估和流行病学证据的基础上进行长期规划。减少野火烟雾暴露的方法,包括预警系统、室内空气过滤和其他措施,可以纳入更广泛的公共卫生和气候适应政策框架。
