“…When raw water passes through coarse filtration and fine filtration equipment, as well as a two-stage reverse osmosis system, the detection rate of Pseudomonas increases significantly [45], indicating that certain equipment in the production line may not be functioning optimally, or the filtration membrane and other devices are not replaced in time, which increases the Pseudomonas contamination rate. Because the geographical location of water sources or distances from living areas are different, the degree of microbial pollution is different [4,6,46,47]. According to FDA standards, P. aeruginosa cannot be detected.…”

Chlorogenic acid is a secondary metabolite produced by many traditional Chinese medicines. Its physiological activities (antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activities, etc.) have been well described. This study aimed to investigate the effects of chlorogenic acid on the biofilm of drinking water bacteria. The effects of chlorogenic acid on the metabolites of the biofilms were also evaluated. Chlorogenic acid was found to have an anti-biofilm effect against Pseudomonas, resulting in biofilm formation in a dose-dependent manner (0.53–25.4 mM CGA). Moreover, the biofilm structure was visibly attenuated. Furthermore, we identified and characterized 23 differential metabolites and associated two metabolic pathways involving beta-alanine metabolism and pyrimidine metabolism that were altered mostly during biofilm formation. A quantitative real-time PCR assay revealed that chlorogenic acid interfered with the signaling molecule synthesis and transcription regulators using the Las, Pqs and Rhl systems. These findings suggest that chlorogenic acid can be a quorum sensing (QS) inhibitor and inhibit biofilm formation. It may be a promising natural product for the prevention of contaminated drinking water.

“…Thus, HBM has become a gold standard in environmental and public health studies for assessing the body's exposure to certain metals (Ladeira and Viegas 2016;Ledda and Rapisarda 2020). Trace metals are especially interesting for HBM studies due to their inorganic nature, different oxidative states, unique metabolism in the body, uneven accumulation, different degrees of excretion, etc., which means that each trace metal has its own toxicological profile, making it unique to research (Garrido et al 2020;Cabral-Pinto et al 2020;Bocca et al 2019;Bocca et al 2020). Reflecting concern about the primary or secondary role of trace metals in the pathogenesis of various diseases, assessment of trace metals in this regard is increasing (Zeng et al 2021;Wu et al 2020;Bocca et al 2016;Zakir et al 2020).…”

Most investigations conducted in the last four decades have shown a rising incidence of thyroid diseases worldwide. Although our knowledge of the molecular pathways of thyroid disease has advanced, the initial steps in thyroid cancerogenesis have not yet been sufficiently elucidated. However, recent human biomonitoring studies have shown that specific trace metals, as major endocrine disrupters, could be considered as risk factors for impaired thyroid health and the evolution of thyroid cancer (TC). In this review, the impact of essential and toxic trace metals from the environment on thyroid health and TC was evaluated. Furthermore, this review clarifies which trace metals most likely contribute to the etiology of TC. Biomarkers based on trace metal ratios are proposed. Overall, the information described in this review is expected to be useful in planning future fundamental and applied studies on the endocrine toxicity of essential and toxic trace metals.
