The widespread use of carbamate pesticides has led to numerous environmental and health concerns, including water contamination perturbation endocrine homeostasis among organisms. However, there remains a paucity research elucidating the specific effects methomyl on gut microbial composition physiological functions. This study aimed investigate intricate relationship between changes in zebrafish bacterial communities intestinal function after 56 days sub-chronic exposure at environmentally relevant concentrations (0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20 mg/L). Our findings reveal significant methomyl-induced morphological intestines, characterized by villi shortening breakage. Notably, down-regulated nutrient energy metabolism, drug metabolism 0.05−0.10 mg/L, while up-regulating cortisol, inflammation-related genes, apoptotic markers mg/L. These manifestations indicate stress imposition disruption microbiota equilibrium, impacting metabolic processes instigating low-grade inflammatory responses cascades. Importantly, significantly correlated with shifts taxa abundance, Shewanella, Rubrobacter, Acinetobacter, Bacillus, Luteolibacter, Nocardia, Defluviimonas, Bacteroides genus. In summary, our underscores potential adverse aquatic organisms, emphasizing necessity for further mitigate its repercussions ecosystem stability.

Adjusting pH values in the aqueous environment is of great significance for improving removal efficiency parabens and halo-parabens. In this study, 20 protonated deprotonated species were selected as models to investigate their pH-dependent mechanisms kinetics by UV/H2O2 process using density functional theory (DFT). Results found that have higher reactivity HO• than neutral due high electron cloud density. H atom abstraction (HAA) reactions on substitution groups are most favorable pathways species, while radical adduct formation (RAF) species. Single transfer (SET) can be neglected it becomes a viable route molecules. The total reaction rate constants range from 1.63×109 3.74 ×1010 M−1 s−1 at 7.0, confirming experimental results. Neutral weakly alkaline conditions degradation MeP halo-parabens process. order optimum di-halo-parabens > mono-halo-parabens ≈ F, F-MeP MeP. Furthermore, transformation products need further oxidative toxicity. Our findings provide new insights into removing halogenated derivatives wastewater.
