Proteomics in environmental pollution research: Advances, challenges, and future directions.

Environmental proteomics has emerged as a powerful approach for elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying pollutant-induced biological effects. Although this field has developed rapidly, the systematic review of recent proteomics applications in environmental pollution research remains limited. This review explored the emerging roles of toxicoproteomics in biomarker discovery and mechanistic elucidation, as well as ecotoxicoproteomics in ecological risk assessment and bioremediation strategies. Here, we review the field, highlighting recent trends such as the integration of proteomics with genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics to provide a comprehensive view of biological responses to environmental stressors. We further discuss the growing application of artificial intelligence in improving proteomics data interpretation and accelerating biomarker discovery. In addition, recent technological advances in environmental proteomics are highlighted, including next-generation tissue microarray proteomics, nanoscale proteomics, single-cell proteomics, and spatial proteomics. Despite its potential, proteomics faces challenges, such as high operational costs, computational complexity in analysis, and technical limitations in low-abundance protein detection. We propose that the convergence of proteomics with artificial intelligence and multi-omics approaches offers promising solutions to these challenges, enhancing the practical application of proteomics in environmental monitoring and risk assessment.

Inefficiency of sanitation measures aboard commercial aircraft: environmental pollution and disease.

Recent investigations at Tokyo International Airport have proven that environmental pollution resulting from the inefficient disposal of human excretion aboard aircraft is an important problem from the standpoint of quarantine. It is, therefore, recommended that the worldwide aviation industry take immediate measures to improve conditions and eliminate this problem, which has thus far been ignored by aircraft designers, airport administration, and CAB personnel.

[Occurrence of pleural mesothelioma. Chronic fibrosing pleurisy and calcified pleural plaques in Turkey in relation with environmental pollution by mineral fibers (author's transl)].

The incidence of pleural mesothelioma (PM), chronic fibrosing pleurisy (CFP) and calcified pleural plaques (CPP) has been studied in Anatolia (Turkey) in relation with environmental pollution by mineral fibers: 1) In central Anatolia, where asbestos deposits have been described, the frequency of CFP and CPP was in the range 2-25%; several cases of PM have been encountered. 2) One area (Cappadoce) is free of asbestos, but contains another kind of mineral fiber: zeolite. In this area, an outbreak of PM has been described in some villages. Among the 600 inhabitants of Karain, 28 cases of PM occurred for the period January 1975-June 1979.
