{"title":"Assessing the bioaccumulation and translocation potential of vetiver grass for dioxins phytoremediation in Bien Hoa airbase, Viet Nam","authors":"Thi Thuy Huong Ngo, Thi Thanh Thao Nguyen","doi":"10.15625/2525-2518/19478","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15625/2525-2518/19478","url":null,"abstract":"Dioxins (PCDD/Fs) are well-known toxic organic pollutants that accumulate in the environment and the food chain, imposing a risk to human health and the ecosystem. Due to the use of dioxin-contaminated herbicides during the US-Vietnam War, there are several hotspots in Vietnam with very high levels of dioxins. Phytoremediation has been increasingly developed in recent decades because of its low cost and environmental-friendly aspect. Vetiver grass is a plant that can remediate both organic and inorganic agents. In this study, the uptake and translocation of dioxins in Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) from the dioxin-contaminated soil was investigated in a field experiment on the Bien Hoa airbase, Vietnam. An experimental area was divided into six plots, of which three were planted with Vetiver grass and three served as control plots, with the initial dioxin concentrations as following: FC2>FC3>FC1>FT2>FT3>FT1. \u0000Vetiver grass had grown well on the dioxin-contaminated soils, yielding high biomass and the level of dioxins in the roots of vetiver grass was positively correlated (r2 = 0.67; p<0.01) with its growth rate. During the first year of cultivation, Vetiver grass had the greatest capacity to efficiently accumulate dioxin. Accumulation occurs in the roots, with BAF>1 throughout the entire experiment period for FT3, and in the first year for FT1 and FT2. The dioxin translocation from the roots to the shoots was significantly lower than the BAF and less than one (TF<1), with the first and second sampling times having the highest values compared to the others. Dioxin concentrations do not provide a reliable indicator of its bioavailability but numerous other factors, such as physicochemical properties of the soil and microbes. Our study aims to contribute significant insights to capability of Vetiver grass to accumulate and translocate dioxins, hence the arsenal of dioxin remediation. Furthermore, we envisage translating our findings into practical applications in other areas, considering optimized planting techniques, growth conditions, and long-term sustainability.","PeriodicalId":23553,"journal":{"name":"Vietnam Journal of Science and Technology","volume":" 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140990685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The catalyst materials at the Ni doping ratios all have the monoclinic-scheelite BiVO4 structure as shown by the XRD and Raman methods. The photocatalytic ability of methyl blue (MB) on the Ni/BiVO4 catalyst was studied under visible light irradiation in order to contribute to reducing the current environmental pollution problem. The removal efficiency of MB varies with the doping ratio of Ni/BiVO4, reaching the highest decomposition efficiency of 84.77% in the 5% mol Ni sample, which is 30% higher than that of the BiVO4 sample.

This study aims at determining the mass concentrations of PM and health risks on pollution event days (episodes) in Hanoi. Semi-daily samples (daytime and night-time) of PM2.5 and PM0.1 were collected at Hanoi University of Science and Technology, in December 2021. The daily PM2.5 concentrations were in the range of 42 – 204 µg/m3 (average of 123 µg/m3). Those of PM0.1 varied from 9 to 30 µg/m3 (average of 22 µg/m3). There is negligible change on daytime and night-time PM0.1 concentrations, whereas those levels of PM2.5 were remarkably different. PM2.5 daytime concentrations were in the range of 39 – 205 µg/m3 with an average of 107 µg/m3. The level ranges of night-time were slightly wider which varied from 39 to 230 µg/m3 (average of 132 µg/m3).  A prolonged episode of PM2.5 (which is defined by the criterion of PM2.5 > 50 µg/m3) was found with an intensity of 26 days in December. During the pollution episode, the Monte Carlo simulation showed that respirable doses were the highest for the adult (above 21 years) for chronic effects, whereas the highest doses for acute were observed in the children (0-3 years), which has implications in the adverse health effects for sensitive groups. The sensitive analysis finds the concentration of PM to be the most influencing factor in inhalation dose estimation.","PeriodicalId":23553,"journal":{"name":"Vietnam Journal of Science and Technology","volume":"85 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140086617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The solution for the class of NP-Hard problems is to find approximate solutions using metaheuristic algorithms. However, most metaheuristic-based algorithms have a weakness that can be fallen into local extreme after a number of evolution generations. In this paper, we adopted a new adaptive nonlinear weight update strategy based on fitness value and new neighborhood topology for Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm, thereby helping to prevent PSO from falling into local extremes.

The results show that the presence of organic acids in the coolant increases the protective effect of the system by forming a film on the surface of the alloys. The EIS impedance results demonstrate the formation of active and passive protective layers on the surface of the alloys. The results of surveying 04 types of organic acids for the protection of different alloy substrates show that TPA and SbA acid additives are more effective than C8A and E2C5A.

The structure, morphology and characteristic properties of the materials are thoroughly investigated by SEM, TEM, UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR and DLS measurements. As an important result, NPs synthesized under optimized conditions have a diameter in the range of 12 nm and exhibit a good contrast signal in magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography at relatively low concentration ([NPs] = 0.1 mM for MRI and 1.25 mg.mL-1 for CT). In particular, the concentration of Gd2O3@PVP nanoparticles used in CT is 10 times lower than that of the commercial Iobitridol product (i.e., 12.5 mg.mL-1) to achieve similar signal intensity. This result has an important implication for reducing the dose of contrast agent introduced into the body.
