Here, owing to their porous crystalline lattice and tuneable molecular specificity, two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (2D MOFs) present unique opportunities as an emerging class of transducers. Addressing the challenges of efficient nanomaterial design and device prototyping based on MOFs, this work demonstrates programmable liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) growth of a Nickel(II) and 2-aminoterephthalic acid (BDC-NH2) based 2D MOF in modular microfluidic circuits on chip. Fully automated layer-by-layer (LbL) LPE yields homogeneous growth of crystalline 2D Ni-BDC-NH2 or Ni-MOF of thicknesses ranging from 2 to 25 nm on Si/SiO₂ substrate. Employing specially designed chips with metal microelectrode arrays (MEAs) as substrates, LbL-LPE approach is successfully used to carry out scalable integration of 2D Ni-MOF sensor arrays with high reproducibility. Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), the sensor chips are deployed for detection of diisobutyl phthalate (DiBP), one of the plasticizers linked to serious illnesses of the endocrine system, in concentration range from 1 to 20 µg/mL.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142911462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study population consisted of 60 automobile technicians, including painters, smoothers, welders, and turners, all of whom had a minimum of two years of professional experience in their respective trade. Demographic data, along with information regarding health history and occupational and environmental exposure to lead, were collected via a structured questionnaire. Lead concentrations in the breathing air and blood samples were analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), in accordance with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) method 7300. The results indicated that the average BPb level among all technician groups was 28.79 µg/dL, surpassing the threshold established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). Conversely, the mean APb concentration was recorded at 0.038 mg/m³, which did not exceed the permissible limits. Statistical analysis revealed no significant correlation between APb and BPb levels, suggesting that exposure to lead may occur through alternative pathways beyond inhalation. Furthermore, BPb levels were positively correlated with years of work experience among participants. In light of the findings, it is strongly recommended that automobile repair technicians utilize personal protective equipment such as respiratory masks and gloves, adopt appropriate and hygienic work attire, ensure adequate ventilation, and maintain a clean and isolated environment for eating and drinking. Additionally, ongoing supervision and training programs should be implemented to mitigate lead exposure in this occupational cohort.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"236 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142890060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Operational data was collected and analyzed over three years (2020 to 2023), to characterize the water quality of influent and effluent discharged from the plant. Physicochemical parameters such as Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD₅), Ammonium-Nitrogen (NH₄), Nitrite-Nitrogen (N-NO₂⁻), Nitrate-Nitrogen (N-NO₃⁻), and Phosphate ions (PO₄-³) were considered. Using the GPS-X software modeling platform, a process flow diagram was developed to integrate the ASM2d model for biological nutrient removal. Through the sensitivity analysis of kinetic and stoichiometric parameters, the research identified the key parameters that impacted the nutrient removal efficiency, which in turn further guided the calibration process. The calibration adjustments focused primarily on parameters associated with denitrification, autotrophic growth, and oxygen saturation coefficients. Statistical measures such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) were used to evaluate the model’s performance in both steady-state and dynamic-state validation scenarios. Results indicated that for the steady state the MAE and RMSE were the same, NH₄ (6.06) N-NO₂⁻&amp; N-NO₃⁻ (1.36), and PO₄-³ (3.167), while for dynamic-state we noticed a difference between the MAE and RMSE for the concentration, indicating the complexity of modeling nutrient removal processes. It was observed that PO₄⁻³ concentration was not affected by the sensitivity analysis, possibly due to the lack of availability of specific process for the phosphorus removal in the treatment plant, further studies are needed to be carried out to address this issue in detail.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"236 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11270-024-07735-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142905687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since aeration is absent in anaerobic bioreactors, sludge mixing is usually done through mechanical mixing. Mechanical mixing speed is significant in terms of providing proper mixing and calculating the specific energy requirements of the plant. Moreover, the mixing speed affects the presence of different microbial species in the bioreactor. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of mechanical mixing speed in anaerobic sequencing batch reactors (AnSBRs) while treating synthetic domestic wastewater. The aim of the study is to find the optimum mixing speed, which gives the highest contaminant removal efficiency, stable sludge characteristics, higher gas production, and better microbial diversity in AnSBRs. Four AnSBRs were operated in parallel at different mixing speeds of 100 rpm, 200 rpm, 300 rpm, and 400 rpm at laboratory temperature (32 ± 2 °C) continuously for 30 days. Regular analysis of treated water quality and sludge characteristics and microbial profiling were performed. Colony morphology, biochemical tests, and 16 S rRNA based analysis were performed to isolate and identify the bacterial cultures. Mixing speed demonstrated a significant role and showed the highest contaminant removal at 400 rpm with 83% chemical oxygen demand, 74% biological oxygen demand, and 78% total suspended solids removals. The gases collected from the top of sealed reactors were identified as CH₄, CO₂ and H₂. Overall, from mixed liquor volatile suspended solids growth and gas production point of view, 400 rpm was the most suitable speed. Different bacterial species were isolated from the sludge in the form of circular, paired irregular, and filamentous colonies. The dominant species identified were Acinetobacter, Aeromonas sp, Citrobacter, Clostridium, Salmonella sp, Bacillus and Clostridium sp bacteria, confirming the maintenance of anaerobic conditions inside reactors. Overall, the 400 rpm speed provides more stable conditions to operate the AnSBRs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"236 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142890070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bacteria colonies and biofilms present in water distribution systems and aquatic systems respond to the presence of antibiotics by the generation of resistance genes and other determinants transmitted through the environment. In this perspective, we identify the opportunities and challenges of self-propelled micromotors in the fight against antimicrobial resistance by the elimination of antibiotics and bacteria in water. Recent progress is contextualized in the current scenario in terms of bacteria and antibiotics found in real settings and current removal technologies. As illustrated in this perspective, the unique features of micromotors result in a high surface area to-mass ratio for enhanced degradation capabilities, for both antibiotic removal and bacteria biofilms inactivation, as compared with static current technologies. The autonomous movement of micromotors allows to reach more volumes of water and even hard-to-access areas, offering great opportunities to reach hard-to-access pipelines, not accessible by current approaches. Yet, as envisioned in this perspective, micromotors are far away from real applications, hampered mainly by the main challenges of the treatment of high-water volumes. We also advocate scientists to include in the proof-of-concept studies real water and the evaluation of a major number of antibiotics and bacteria commonly found in real settings, as will be described in this perspective. Micromotors hold considerable promise as a holistic approach to fight antimicrobial resistance, but cross-discipline collaborations are a must to translate the recent progress into real practical applications.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142902245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
