摘要： Animal studies have indicated that persistent organic pollutants (POPs) affect thyroid hormone homeostasis, while epidemiological studies involving human have not shown consistent results. In this study, we investigated the associations between POP exposure and thyroid function among adult population of East China. One hundred eighty-six participants diagnosed with thyroid disease and 186 participants without thyroid disease from Shandong, China were enrolled in the case-control study during 2016 to 2017. We found that POP exposure was significantly and positively associated with the risk of thyroid disease. The association of thyroid disease with a sum of 17 POPs followed a nonmonotonic dose response, with an adjusted odds ratio of 2.09 (95% confidence intervals: 1.13?3.87, p = 0.019) for the second quartile. Among 186 participants in the control group, concentrations of POPs showed negative associations with triiodothyronine (T3), free T3 (FT3), thyroxine (T4), and free T4 (FT4) in males and positive associations with T4 and FT4 in females. Taken together, these findings suggest that POP exposure can disrupt thyroid hormone homeostasis and increase the risk of thyroid disease.

Application of BiOX Photocatalysts in Remediation of Persistent Organic Pollutants
摘要： Bismuth oxyhalides have recently gained attention for their promise as photocatalysts. Due to their layered structure, these materials present fascinating and highly desirable physicochemical properties including visible light photocatalytic capability and improved charge separation. While bismuth oxyhalides have been rigorously evaluated for the photocatalytic degradation of dyes and many synthesis strategies have been employed to enhance this property, relatively little work has been done to test them against pharmaceuticals and pesticides. These persistent organic pollutants are identified as emerging concerns by the EPA and effective strategies must be developed to combat them. Here, we review recent work directed at characterizing the nature of the interactions between bismuth oxyhalides and persistent organic pollutants using techniques including LC-MS/MS for the determination of photocatalytic degradation intermediates and radical scavenging to determine active species during photocatalytic degradation. The reported investigations indicate that the high activity of bismuth oxyhalides for the breakdown of persistent organic pollutants from water can be largely attributed to the strong oxidizing power of electron holes in the valence band. Unlike conventional catalysts like TiO2, these catalysts can also function in ambient solar conditions. This suggests a much wider potential use for these materials as green catalysts for industrial photocatalytic transformation, particularly in flow chemistry applications.
