New research on Machine Learning is the subject of a report. According to news reporting originating from Guangzhou, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Global electronic waste (e-waste) generation continues to grow. The various pollutants released during precarious e-waste disposal activities can contribute to human oxidative stress.” Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Sun Yat-Sen University, “This study encompassed 129 individuals residing near e-waste dismantling sites in China, with elevated urinary concentrations of e-waste-related pollutants including heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), bisphenols (BPs), and phthalate esters (PAEs). Utilizing an explainable machine learning framework, the study quantified the co-exposure effects of these pollutants, finding that approximately 23% and 18% of the variance in oxidative DNA damage and lipid peroxidation, respectively, was attributable to these substances. Heavy metals emerged as the most critical factor in inducing oxidative stress, followed by PAHs and PAEs for oxidative DNA damage, and BPs, OPFRs, and PAEs for lipid peroxidation. The interactions between different pollutant classes were found to be weak, attributable to their disparate biological pathways. In contrast, the interactions among congeneric pollutants were strong, stemming from their shared pathways and resultant synergistic or additive effects on oxidative stress. An intelligent analysis system for e-waste pollutants was also developed, which enables more efficient processing of large-scale and dynamic datasets in evolving environments.”
