Right to start with...the senior author is also the editor of the journal. The editor of a journal has the ultimate power to decide if a paper is published or not. You can see the bias right there.
Secondly, this is a open access journal which means that even though there is a peer-review process the authors have to pay to get the paper published. The benefit is that the paper will be available to all (public domain with no paywall), and the authors retain the copyright of their work. The disadvantage of this model is that there is financial interest in publishing papers and there have been criticisms of their scientific content.
To balance matters out on this occasion the publishing house is Elsevier (probably the major publishing house of scientific material) and the impact factor of the journal is not insignificant (4.14) as seen here https://academic-accelerator.com/Impact-Factor-IF/Toxicology-Reports?cf_chl_jschl_tk=pmd_RsOysJ1g_CN9Q4sZ_mONapLFWbKLH_NCSA_PCsAeCwU-1633202010-0-gqNtZGzNAjujcnBszQhl
NB: I did not comment on the scientific content of the paper but be ready to defend it when these criticisms arise if you use it with "academics" and their like.
