“…OCPs include hexachlorobenzene (HCB), dichloro diphenyl trichloroethane or 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis (4-chlorophenyl) ethane (DDT), lindane or gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH), dieldrin, heptachlor, and chlordane. Since the 1970s (DDTs), compounds that have been banned are still detected in human matrices and the whole food chain [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]. In the human body, DDT is metabolized to dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD), which is more water soluble and less toxic, and dichloro diphenyl trichloro ethylene (DDE), which accumulates in adipose tissue and poses a threat to health due to its long half-life [ 14 ].…”

Human milk is the healthiest option for newborns, although, under specific circumstances, infant formula is a precious alternative for feeding the baby. Except for the nutritional content, infant formulas and baby food must be pollutant-free. Thus, their composition is controlled by continuous monitoring and regulated by establishing upper limits and guideline values for safe exposure. Legislation differs worldwide, although there are standard policies and strategies for protecting vulnerable infants. This work presents current regulations and directives for restricting endocrine-disrupting chemicals and persistent organic pollutants in infant formulas. Risk assessment studies, which are limited, are necessary to depict exposure variations and assess the health risks for infants from dietary exposure to pollutants.

“…Despite the phasing out of most POPs‐based products, there is a growing body of evidence that global climate change results in legacy POP revolatilization and remobilization from surface reservoirs (e.g., permafrost, soil, water, and ice), which act as secondary sources of POPs release into the biosphere [ 2 , 6 , 7 ]. In addition, changes in land use and glyphosate‐induced soil erosion have reportedly resulted in the re‐emergence of legacy POPs [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. The resurrection of legacy POPs can potentially induce a second toxic event, which undermines global efforts to minimize human and environmental exposure to these harmful compounds [ 12 ].…”

Microbial biodegradation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is an attractive, ecofriendly, and cost‐efficient clean‐up technique for reclaiming POP‐contaminated environments. In the last few decades, the number of publications documenting POP‐degrading microbes, enzymes, and experimental data sets has continuously increased, necessitating the development of a dedicated web resource that catalogs consolidated information on POP‐degrading microbes and tools to facilitate integrative analysis of POP degradation data sets. To address this knowledge gap, we developed the Microbial Biodegradation of Persistent Organic Pollutants Database (mibPOPdb) by accumulating microbial POP degradation information from the public domain and manually curating published scientific literature. Currently, in mibPOPdb, there are 9215 microbial strain entries, including 184 gene (sub)families, 100 enzymes, 48 biodegradation pathways, and 593 intermediate compounds identified in POP‐biodegradation processes, and information on 32 toxic compounds listed under the Stockholm Convention environmental treaty. Besides the standard database functionalities, which include data searching, browsing, and retrieval of database entries, we provide a suite of bioinformatics services to facilitate comparative analysis of users' own data sets against mibPOPdb entries. Additionally, we built a Graph Neural Network‐based prediction model for the biodegradability classification of chemicals. The predictive model exhibited a good biodegradability classification performance and high prediction accuracy. mibPOPdb is a free data‐sharing platform designated to promote research in microbial‐based biodegradation of POPs and fills a long‐standing gap in environmental protection research.
