• Integrating multi-omics, EWAS, and reverse network toxicology to explore environmental pollutant risks in erectile dysfunction (2026) · doi

  Pollutant screening was based solely on in silico predictions from the CTD database and cannot account for the combined effects of exposure mixtures or inter-individual variability in real-world settings. Future research should adopt exposomic approaches by utilizing measured pollutant concentrations in human biosamples to validate associations between benzo[a]pyrene, bisphenol F, tetrabromobisphenol A, and chlorpyrifos exposure in more realistic environmental settings.

  Binding energy alone does not account for exposure duration, intracellular concentrations, metabolic compensation, or tissue-level adaptive responses, making it difficult to convert docking-derived binding affinities into significant in vivo toxicity results.

  The exposure-response coefficients do not account for possible non-linearities at very low or very high pollution concentrations.
