A comparative approach was adopted to analyze the effect of the COVID-19 lockdown on ambient air pollution concentrations and the impacts of meteorological parameters on them using data from air quality monitoring stations (AQMS) in Tabriz, Iran. Air quality improvement was significant for all pollutants, except for O₃, in the first phase of the lockdown compared to other phases. The lockdown (restricted social contact, closing of shops, schools, universities, restaurants, and many administrative centers and companies, etc.) temporarily reduced air pollutants. Comparing meteorological parameters between lockdown periods and the same period in previous years showed no statistically significant variations (P-value &lt; 0.05). Therefore, the meteorological parameters did not intervene in reducing air pollutants during the lockdown. The effects of lockdown on the concentration of air pollutants could provide a special way to understand the extent of quarantine compliance by citizens, evaluate additional air quality policies, and assess the impacts of reducing various emission sources.</p>","PeriodicalId":14121,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Research","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249829","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}

{"title":"Efficient Degradation of Bezafibrate Using the Fe(II)/Sulfite Process: Kinetics, Mechanism and Influence on DBP Formation","authors":"Yu-qiong Gao, Jia-xin Ma, Yan-yan Rao, Ju-xiang Chen, Nai-yun Gao","doi":"10.1007/s41742-024-00658-7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s41742-024-00658-7","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Bezafibrate (BZF), an extensively used lipid-regulating agent, has been frequently detected in aqueous environments. In this work, we systematically investigated the Fe(II)/sulfite process for degrading BZF and its impact on disinfection byproducts (DBPs) during postchlorination. Degradation conditions were optimized by adjusting the pH, sulfite concentration, Fe(II), and BZF concentration. Under the conditions of pH = 4, [BZF]₀ = 5 μM, [Fe(II)]₀ = 25 μM, and [sulfite]₀ = 250 μM, the BZF removal efficiency reaches 97.9% in 15 min. Sulfate radicals (SO₄^●–) and singlet oxygen (¹O₂) are recognized as the main reactive agents, with Fe(IV) also contributing to the removal of BZF. Common anions (Cl⁻ and HCO₃⁻) and humic acid generally impede the degradation process, except that trace amounts of Cl⁻ can slightly accelerate BZF degradation. A total of ten products are recognized by ultra high performance liquid chromatography and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and four major degradation pathways are proposed: hydroxylation, cleavage of amino bonds, removal of fibrate chains, and dechlorination. Meanwhile, the toxicity assessment shows that the majority of products exhibit lower biological toxicity and less bioaccumulation potential than BZF itself. The Fe(II)/sulfite pretreatment alters the DBP formation potential, especially when Br⁻ is present. The formation of trichloromethane (TCM) is diminished following pretreatment with the Fe(II)/sulfite process, whereas a noticeable increase in the formation of dichloroacetonitrile (DCAN) is found. Moreover, Fe(II)/sulfite pretreatment enhances the formation of brominated DBPs. Therefore, special consideration should be given to DBP formation when a Fe(II)/sulfite system is employed as a pretreatment for the removal of BZF in water.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":14121,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Research","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142268109","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}

This study investigates pollution levels, sources, and health risks of ten PTEs (Fe, As, Cd, Zn, Cu, Mn, Pb, Cr, Co, and Ni) in indoor and outdoor areas surrounding a major scrap-iron recycling plant in northcentral Nigeria. The potential sources of studied PTEs pollution during the rainy and dry seasons were evaluated using Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model. Ecological risk assessments of studied PTEs were conducted using different pollution indices such as Enrichment Factor (EF), Geo-accumulation Index (I_geo), Contamination Factor (C_f), Potential Ecological Risks Index (PERI), Nemerov Integrated Pollution Index (NIPI), and Nemerov Integrated Risk Index (NIRI). Out of the 10 PTEs studied, Cd had the highest pollution level and exhibited a high potential to cause cancer in children during the two seasons considered. Sources of PTEs identified for rainy season included recycling process, electronic waste, coal combustion, steel production, and other smelting activities whereas steel production, electronic waste, coal combustion, recycling process, and traffic emission contributed to the PTE levels obtained in the dry season. This study contributes to the understanding of the environmental impact of scrap-iron smelting operations and advocate for the implementation of sustainable practices that protect both human health and the environment.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":14121,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Research","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249828","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}
