Abstract
Black carbon (BC) is released into the atmosphere in large quantities from different emission sources each year and poses a serious threat to human health. These BC possessed a variety of characteristics and different mediation abilities for the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In this study, we collected BC (i.e., diesel BC, coal BC and wood BC) from three typica emission sources, and examined their mediation abilities to the oxidation of glutathione (GSH). Results showed that all three BC significantly promoted the GSH oxidation, and the mediation efficiencies were as follows: diesel BC > coal BC > wood BC. In comparison with the water-soluble fraction, the mediation abilities of three BC mainly came from their solid phase fractions. In the coal BC and wood BC systems, the oxidation of GSH was attributed to the catalysis of transition metals in BC. By contrast, the transition metals, phenolic –OH and persistent free radicals in diesel BC were identified as the active sites responsible for the GSH oxidation. In addition, the graphitic surface of diesel BC could synergize with these active sites to accelerate the oxidation of GSH. Under the catalysis of BC, dissolved oxygen was first reduced to ROS (O2•− and H2O2) and then caused the GSH oxidation. These findings not only help to better assess the adverse health effects of different BC, but also deepen the understanding of the reaction mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
