A simple and isocratic protein-based high performance liquid chromatography method for the enantioseparation of amphetamine derivatives

New amphetamine derivatives, a substance class belonging to the New Psychoactive Substances (NPS), have fundamentally changed the global drug market during the last years. Also known as “legal highs” they are sold under various names like "bath salts", "air fresheners" and so forth. Structures of well-known illicit drugs such as amphetamine, methamphetamine and 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine are slightly modified to circumvent law and samples are traded worldwide via various internet shops. Many of these new derivatives possess a chiral centre and the pharmacological differences of the two enantiomers are not yet investigated for many of them. This makes the continuous development of analytical methods for their chiral separation crucial.The aim of this study was to develop a simple, isocratic HPLC-UV method for enantioseparation and to test this method on a set of 26 amphetamine derivatives, including latest products on the drug market. A Daicel Chiralpak® CBH 150×3.0 mm column (5 µm particle size) served for chiral separation. The influence of the organic modifier and type, molarity and pH of the buffer on separation results was investigated. UV detection was performed at 210 and 254 nm. As final mobile phase, a mixture of 5 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH = 6.9) / methanol (85 : 15 v/v) was chosen. Under these conditions, all 26 tested amphetamines were separated successfully into their enantiomers. Thus, the results showed that all analytes were traded as racemic mixtures.

A novel nano-sulphur and essential oil-based room freshener

Introduction: Alternaria spp. and Candida spp. are the main fungal pathogen of indoor environment like house, office, classroom, etc. These may cause various diseases and infections like systemic infections, or chronic asthma in immunocompromised individuals through secretion of various toxic substances. Chemical-based commercially available room fresheners used to control the fungal load of indoor environment are not beneficial to human health. Objective: was to provide viable alternative in the form of nanoparticle-based approach for the management of air-borne fungi. Methodology: The present study primarily focuses on the isolation, microscopic and biochemical identification of indoor fungi; Azadirachta indica-mediated sulphur nanoparticles (SNPs) synthesis, their detection and characterization; and in vitro assessment of SNPs against isolated fungi present in indoor environment. Result: The isolated fungi were identified as Alternaria spp and Candida spp. The SNPs showed absorbance maxima at 291 nm. NTA analysis showed average size of 188.4 nm, and zeta potential of -4.94 mV which represented synthesis of stable SNPs. XRD pattern confirmed the face centered cubic, crystalline nature of SNPs. FTIR spectrum depicted the presence of polyhydroxyl, nitrile, keto, aromatic and carboxylic compounds which stabilized the SNPs. The antifungal assays demonstrated the significant activity of the formulated SNPs and eucalyptus oil infused air freshener. Conclusion: It can be concluded that A. indica-mediated SNPs can be applied in the formulation and manufacture of an ecofriendly air freshener for the management of indoor fungal pathogens like Alternaria spp. and Candida spp.

Limonene Emissions: Do Different Types Have Different Biological Effects?

Limonene is one of the most abundant pollutants indoors, and it contributes to the formation of additional pollutants, such as formaldehyde and photochemical smog. Limonene is commonly used in fragranced consumer products, such as cleaning supplies and air fresheners, which have also been associated with health problems. Limonene can exist in different enantiomeric forms (R-limonene and S-limonene) and be derived from different sources. However, little is known about whether different forms and sources of limonene may have different effects. This research explored whether different types of limonene, at the same concentrations, could elicit different biological effects. To investigate this question, the study employed Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which have sophisticated olfactory abilities, in olfactometer tests of repellency/attraction. The results indicate that a synthetic source of R-limonene is more repellent than a natural source of R-limonene. In addition, synthetic sources of both R-limonene and S-limonene are not significantly different in repellency. These findings can contribute to our understanding and further exploration of the effects of a common fragrance compound on air quality and health.

The effect of exposure to liquid air freshener on histological of the bronchial mice (Mus musculus)

Air fresheners are products that contain chemicals aimed at reducing unpleasant odours in confined spaces. The use of synthetic air fresheners turns out to harm health because some of their leased Volatile Organic Compounds are classified as toxic compounds and are carcinogens. Air freshener enters the body through the inhalation process in the respiratory system. Modern air fresheners are available in liquid (aerosol) and gel forms. Air fresheners contain addictive substances and solvents such as 1,4-dichlorobenzene which can affect pulmonary function. The purpose of this study is to know the effect of exposure to liquid air freshener on the histology of bronchi of mice (Mus musculus). This study used 20 male mice (Mus musculus) consisting of 4 treatments with 5 replications. The research design is true experimental in the form of a post-test only control group with Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The post-test was done by observing the histological picture of the mice's bronchi after exposure to liquid air freshener given 3x/day for a period of P1 = 2 weeks, P2 = 4 weeks and P3 = 6 weeks. Quantitative data on bronchial histology was tested using the One Way ANOVA statistical test followed by the Post Hoc Tukey test. The results of the study found changes in the histology of the bronchi, thickening of the epithelial tissue of mice. Analysis of comparative data between the control and treatment groups statistically obtained p = 0.010 <0.05, meaning that there was a significant effect and change in the bronchial tubes exposed to liquid air freshener. Histologically there were differences in histology between the control and treatment groups. It was concluded that liquid air freshener had a significant effect on the histological picture of the mice's bronchi.

Development and validation of a UPLC-MS/MS method for the quantification of isothiazolinones in the composition and emissions from consumer products.

Isothiazolinones, a family of biocides, are used as preservatives for their fungicidal, bactericidal, and algacidal properties. These compounds can be found in a wide range of consumer and building products, such as paints, varnishes, shampoos, and liquid detergents. A robust analytical UPLC-MS/MS method to identify and quantify seven isothiazolinones (MIT, CMI, BIT, MBIT, BBIT, OIT, and DCOIT) in consumer products and their emissions was developed and validated according to ISO/IEC 17025. The limits of detection (LODs) ranged from 0.14μgL-1 (BIT) to 0.54μgL-1 (CMI). The method was applied for the quantification of the seven isothiazolinones in four types of consumer products (i.e., cosmetics, air fresheners, cleaning products, and building products) and the indoor emissions from a paint. Matrix effects were observed for the shampoo (63-74%), the shower gel (67-84%), and the ceramic glass cleaner (53-57%). All isothiazolinones indicated by the manufacturer (i.e., MIT, CMI, BIT, OIT, and DCOIT) were detected in the products and successfully quantified by the UPLC-MS/MS method.

Sprays and diffusers as indoor air fresheners: Exposure and health risk assessment based on measurements under realistic indoor conditions.

Noncombustible air fresheners are indoor air emission sources of concern. The associated health risks should be better understood. Based on 15 products (4sprays, 6 passive diffusers, and 5 active diffusers), the health risk assessment (HRA) approach was applied to a national use survey in France and to concentrations measured in an experimental house. The targeted substances included volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbonyls, and fine particles (PM2.5 ). Mean-use and reasonable worst-case generic scenarios were designed. No situation of concern occurred regarding chronic exposure associated with the mean use. Under the reasonable worst-case scenarios, the chronic risk could exceed selected health reference standards, mainly for acrolein (average inhaled concentration (AIC) up to 3.5µg/m3 ), benzene (AIC up to 4µg/m3 ), and limonene (AIC up to 8mg/m3 ). The acute exposure, defined as a 1-h exposure, could exceed selected health standards, primarily for acrolein (up to 23µg/m3 ) and formaldehyde (up to approximately 370µg/m3 ). Furthermore, the 1-h average PM2.5 concentration, including ultrafine particles, could exceed 100µg/m3 , typically for sprays. These results suggest that the highest exposures should be reduced and, as such, that the emissions of the highest-emissivity products should be lowered.

Environmental Health-Related Policies and Practices of Oklahoma Licensed Early Care and Education Programs: Implications for Childhood Asthma.

Little is known about the environmental health-related policies and practices of early care and education (ECE) programs that contribute to childhood asthma, particularly in Oklahoma where child asthma rates (9.8%) and rates of uncontrolled asthma among children with asthma (60.0%) surpass national rates (8.1% and 50.3%, respectively). We conducted a cross-sectional survey with directors of Oklahoma-licensed ECE programs to assess policies and practices related to asthma control and to evaluate potential differences between Centers and Family Childcare Homes (FCCHs). Surveyed ECEs (n = 476) included Centers (56.7%), FCCHs (40.6%), and other program types (2.7%). Almost half (47.2%) of directors reported never receiving any asthma training. More Center directors were asthma-trained than FCCH directors (61.0% versus 42.0%, p < 0.0001). Most ECEs used asthma triggers, including bleach (88.5%) and air fresheners (73.6%). Centers were more likely to use bleach daily than were FCCHs (75.6% versus 66.8%, p = 0.04). FCCHs used air fresheners more than did Centers (79.0% versus 61.0%, p < 0.0001). The majority of ECEs (74.8%) used pesticides indoors. Centers applied indoor pesticides more frequently (i.e., monthly or more often) than did FCCHs (86.0% versus 58.0%, p < 0.0001). Policy, educational, and technical assistance interventions are needed to reduce asthma triggers and improve asthma control in Oklahoma ECEs.

The effect of endocrine disruptors on the reproductive system - current knowledge.

Chemicals that disrupt the endocrine homeostasis of the human body, otherwise known as endocrine disruptors (EDCs), are found in the blood, urine, amniotic fluid, or adipose tissue. This paper presents the current knowledge about EDCs and the reproductive system. The article is an overview of the impact of EDCs and their mechanism of action, with particular emphasis on gonads, based on the information available on medical databases (PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE and Google Scholar, EMBASE and Web of Science) until May 2021. EDCs occur in everyday life, e.g., they are components of adhesives, brake fluids, and flame retardants; they are used in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), plastic food boxes, pacifiers, medicines, cosmetics (bisphenol A, phthalates), hydraulic fluids, printing inks (polychlorinated biphenyls - PCBs), receipts (bisphenol A, BSA) and raincoats (phthalates); they are also a component of polyvinyl products (e.g. toys) (phthalates), air fresheners and cleaning agents (phthalates); moreover, they can be found in the smoke from burning wood (dioxins), and in soil or plants (pesticides). EDCs are part of our diet and can be found in vegetables, fruits, green tea, chocolate and red wine (phytoestrogens). In addition to infertility, they can lead to premature puberty and even cause uterine and ovarian cancer. However, in men, they reduce testosterone levels, reduce the quality of sperm, and cause benign testicular tumors. Therefore, this article submits that EDCs negatively affect our health, disrupting the functioning of the endocrine system, and particularly affecting the functioning of the gonads.

Analysis of isothiazolinone preservatives in household deodorizers and air fresheners through solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry

Isothiazolinone preservatives are known to cause contact dermatitis. Although they are used in household deodorizers and air fresheners, the actual extent of their use remains unclear. In this study, we developed a method to simultaneously analyze five isothiazolinones (2-methyl-4-isothiazilin-3-one: MI, 5-choro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one: CMI, benzisothiazolin-3-one: BIT, 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one: OIT, 4,5-dichloro-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one: 2Cl-OIT) in spray-type household deodorizers and air fresheners. The samples were analyzed through solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Three solid-phase extraction cartridges were examined, and good results were obtained for the OASIS HLB Plus LP cartridge. The recoveries and standard deviations for isothiazolinone preservatives extracted using this cartridge were 72–99 and 1.6–6.0%, respectively. In addition, the limit of detection and limit of quantification were as follow: 0.012 and 0.037 μg/mL for MI, 0.029 and 0.089 μg/mL for CMI, 0.032 and 0.098 μg/mL for BIT, 0.013 and 0.040 μg/mL for OIT, and 0.015 and 0.047 μg/mL for 2Cl-OIT. Among the 51 analyzed products, only 10 were detected with isothiazolinone compounds. MI and CMI were detected in five products at concentration levels of 0.31–22 and 0.77–95 μg/mL, respectively, while BIT was detected in the other five products at 2.7–101 μg/mL.

Volatile Organic Compounds Emitted from Air Fresheners

Air fresheners contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), some of which are possible hazardous air pollutants, carcinogens, or chemicals associated with adverse health effects such as asthma. This screening study identifies VOCs emitted from two types of air fresheners. Plug-in air fresheners are household products that release scents from a heated liquid. Little Tree air fresheners are commonly-used solid devices designed to hang in from the rear view mirror in cars. VOCs that were released from heated samples of air fresheners were identified by gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GCMS). In a pilot study to characterize how air fresheners affect air quality in real settings, air samples were collected on solid-phase microextraction (SPME) field samplers in a home setting and inside a vehicle, before and during air-freshener use. This pilot demonstrated the potential for SPME field samplers to track changes in VOC levels in real-life settings.

Local perfumes were formulated using different proportions of fragrance essential oils and ethyl alcohol as a solvent. The main chemical compounds that are found in fragrant essential oils such as linalool, geraniol, citronellol, α-pinene, β-pinene, citronellal and eucalyptol determined the perfume scent. The panelist hedonic test showed that the first chosen perfume containing, L. angustifolia as top note; C. martini as a middle note and B. papyrifera as a base note and the second one containing C. nardus as top note; R. officinalis as a middle note and B. papyrifera as base note. Generally, the selected essential oils could be used as a substitute for the production of natural perfume for Air freshener or body splash after further toxicological tests are performed on the product.

Predicting environmental risk factors in relation to health outcomes among school children from Romania using random forest model - An analysis of data from the SINPHONIE project

BackgroundFew studies have simultaneously assessed the health impact of school and home environmental factors on children, since handling multiple highly correlated environmental variables is challenging. In this study, we examined indoor home and school environments in relation to health outcomes using machine learning methods and logistic regression. MethodsWe used the data collected by the SINPHONIE (Schools Indoor Pollution and Health: Observatory Network in Europe) project in Romania, a multicenter European research study that collected comprehensive information on school and home environments, health symptoms in children, smoking, and school policies. The health outcomes were categorized as: any health symptoms, asthma, allergy and flu-like symptoms. Both logistic regression and random forest (RF) methods were used to predict the four categories of health outcomes, and the methods prediction performance was compared. ResultsThe RF method we employed for analysis showed that common risk factors for the investigated categories of health outcomes, included: environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), dampness in the indoor school environment, male gender, air freshener use, residence located in proximity of traffic (<200 m), stressful schoolwork, and classroom noise (contributions ranged from 7.91% to 23.12%). Specificity, accuracy and area under the curve (AUC) values for most outcomes were higher when using RF compared to logistic regression, while sensitivity was similar in both methods. ConclusionThis study suggests that ETS, dampness in the indoor school environment, use of air fresheners, living in proximity to traffic (<200 m) and noise are common environmental risk factors for the investigated health outcomes. RF pointed out better predictive values, sensitivity and accuracy compared to logistic regression.

Real-time molecular characterization of air pollutants in a Hong Kong residence: Implication of indoor source emissions and heterogeneous chemistry.

Due to the high health risks associated with indoor air pollutants and long-term exposure, indoor air quality has received increasing attention. In this study, we put emphasis on the molecular composition, source emissions, and chemical aging of air pollutants in a residence with designed activities mimicking ordinary Hong Kong homes. More than 150 air pollutants were detected at molecular level, 87 of which were quantified at a time resolution of not less than 1 hour. The indoor-to-outdoor ratios were higher than 1 for most of the primary air pollutants, due to emissions of indoor activities and indoor backgrounds (especially for aldehydes). In contrast, many secondary air pollutants exhibited higher concentrations in outdoor air. Painting ranked first in aldehyde emissions, which also caused great enhancement of aromatics. Incense burning had the highest emissions of particle-phase organics, with vanillic acid and syringic acid as markers. The other noteworthy fingerprints enabled by online measurements included linoleic acid, cholesterol, and oleic acid for cooking, 2,5-dimethylfuran, stigmasterol, iso-/anteiso-alkanes, and fructose isomers for smoking, C28 -C34 even n-alkanes for candle burning, and monoterpenes for the use of air freshener, cleaning agents, and camphor oil. We showed clear evidence of chemical aging of cooking emissions, giving a hint of indoor heterogeneous chemistry. This study highlights the value of organic molecules measured at high time resolutions in enhancing our knowledge on indoor air quality.

Inhaled exposure to air fresheners aggravated liver injury in a murine model of nonalcoholic fatty acid liver disease

At present, the consumption and use of air fresheners (AFs) is rapidly increasing worldwide for the purposes of odor removal and to create a pleasant odor. Many recent studies have strongly suggested that the potentially hazardous chemicals emitted from AFs may be the primary source of indoor air pollutants and may cause adverse health effects. Despite the presence of hazardous chemicals in AFs, potential adverse health effects and risk assessment of AFs have not yet been established. The incidence of nonalcoholic fatty acid liver disease (NAFLD) around the world is rapidly increasing, as with obesity and diabetes, and is one of the most common causes of liver disease worldwide. Based on the demonstrated evidence that NAFLD could eventually develop into further health complications such as liver failure, cardiovascular disease, liver cirrhosis, or liver cancer, the current study was performed to clarify the relationship between inhaled AF exposure and NAFLD using a high-fructose diet (HFr)-induced murine model. The results from current study clearly demonstrated that AF exposure further exacerbated liver injury in NAFLD-induced mice. Interestingly, the increased expression of fibrosis-related factors and collagen accumulation in the liver of AF-exposed NAFLD-induced mice resulted in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-like phenotype and fibrosis. Taken together, these results strongly suggest that AF exposure may not only induce liver injury but may also exacerbate NAFLD to lead to NASH-like symptoms. Further study is needed to shed light on the detailed mechanisms behind AF-induced liver effects and its potential role in exacerbating NAFLD to more detrimental disease in order to better scientific evidence for risk assessments of indoor AF exposure.

The effect of extract guava, bitter melon, broccoli, and shallots on liver damage due to indoor pollutant exposure

Air freshener is a chemical-based product commonly used to freshen the air in the room. However, it usually has a variety of harmful compounds, and if it enters the body it can trigger the formation of free radicals, which in turn can cause cell and tissue damage in vital organs such as liver. One way that can be used to treat cell damage due to free radicals is by consuming foods that contain antioxidants. In this study, mice were used to determine the effectiveness of the antioxidant extracts of guava, bitter melon, broccoli, and shallots. Types of free radicals and levels of liver cells damage of mice due to free radicals were analyzed using quantitative atomic spectroscopy and levels assay of malondialdehyde (MDA). The results showed that the effect of the antioxidants mentioned above could reduce the number of free radicals and cell damage that occurred in the liver of mice exposed to air freshener, and the optimal dose of antioxidants was obtained at 69.5 mg per 20 grams of mice.
