Dna, a living genetic material, can coexist with toxic organic matter in contaminated environments and is usually present in the form of extracellular or intracellular DNA. Extracellular DNA is mostly derived from the cleavage interpretation of prokaryotes and prokaryotes, and the more active chemical activity makes it susceptible to interaction with other substances in the environment. For example, extracellular DNA can be adsorbed to the surface of soil minerals, and metal cations Al (III) and Fe (III) in water can bind to their phosphate skeletons, resulting in DNA reunion. Extracellular DNA also binds to toxic organic compounds to form compounds ("DNAadduct" in Figure 1), which in turn affects environmental trends such as the degradation of extracellular DNA ("degradation" in Figure 1). In addition, extracellular DNA or plasmids can be migrated into other living organisms, which is also an important basis for biodiversity. Toxic organic matter can cause stress reactions, changes in cell membrane composition or structure by contamination stress, and produce cytotoxicity ("cytoxicity" in Figure 1), which in turn affects microbial growth and DNA or plasmid migration. Toxic organic contamination can also cause intracellular DNA damage, affecting gene expression and, in turn, gene toxicity (Figure 1, "Genotoxic⁃ity"). The interaction and effect of toxic organic matter and DNA has become one of the hot spots and frontiers in environmental research.
