Abstract This review aims to understand the impacts of plasticizers on thyroid system animals and humans. The gland is one earliest endocrine glands that appear during embryogenesis. synthesizes hormones (TH), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) are important in regulation body homeostasis. TH plays critical roles regulating different physiological functions, including metabolism, cell growth, circadian rhythm, nervous development. Alteration function can lead medical problems. In recent years, thyroid-related problems have increased this could be due rising environmental pollutants. Plasticizers such group a pollutant function. man-made chemicals used wide range products, as children’s toys, food packaging items, building materials, devices, cosmetics, ink. use has resulted their detection environment, animals, Studies indicated alter both humans at levels. Several studies demonstrated positive and/or negative correlation between serum T4 T3 also change expression various TH-related genes proteins, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyrotropin-releasing (TRH), transporters. Histological analyses follicular hypertrophy hyperplasia response several plasticizers. conclusion, disrupt homeostasis mechanisms toxicity diverse.

The Source, Distribution, and Environmental Effects of Suspended Particulate Matter in the Yangtze River System

Water, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(19), P. 3429 - 3429

Published: Sept. 29, 2023

Suspended particulate matter (SPM) plays a crucial role in biogeochemical cycles the aquatic environment because of its ubiquitous presence, mobility, and physicochemical properties. This work gathered summarized published information about SPM Yangtze River system, including source, distribution, environmental effects. Results indicated that concentration was high flood period low dry period. Compared to midstream downstream, lowest upstream system. Furthermore, level influenced by human activities, such as shipping, dredging, construction water conservancy projects, industrial/agricultural emissions, well natural conditions, wind, rainfall, phytoplankton. Moreover, would impact element cycle environment, N, P, heavy metal, persistent organic pollutants. In addition, adsorbed these elemental ions or particles on surface. Still, this adsorption usually unstable, when properties itself external conditions changed, elements be released into surrounding body. With flow water, migrated downstream with river. Thus, reveals current status which provides an essential reference for further research
