Ozone is a possible risk factor of COPD, with ozone concentrations increasing in China, despite air pollution mitigation measures that reduced particulate matter. The WHO Air Quality Guidelines (AQG) recommendations in 2021 are a turning point that formally recognizes the crucial role of indoor air pollution. We aimed to investigate the premature COPD deaths attributable to ozone in 2019, taking the WHO AQG 2021 level into account to determine the gap to bridge ozone control in China. First, we assessed ozone exposures initiated from indoor and outdoor sources by gender and age groups in 344 cities under four scenarios: 2019 as a baseline, and outdoor ozone at WHO AQG 2021 level in 2019, 2030, and 2050, respectively. Subsequently, we estimated COPD deaths attributable to ozone. The results show that the COPD deaths attributable to ozone are 77,737 in 2019, and 527, 872, 1355 if the outdoor ozone concentration is reduced to the WHO AQG 2021 level in 2019 (counterfactual scenario), 2030, and 2050, respectively in urban China. The indoor ozone sources only contribute to less than 5% of COPD deaths. A gap of 68.5 μg/m<sup>3</sup> for the highest seasonal ozone concentration should be bridged to meet the WHO AQG 2021 and avoid over 76 thousand (98%) COPD deaths in 2019 in urban China.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":29813,"journal":{"name":"Eco-Environment & Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772985022000394/pdfft?md5=c6a76526d0d54ceeade87e8f9cdc712d&pid=1-s2.0-S2772985022000394-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91618079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our quantitative understanding of how land use influences SOM molecular composition and associated turnover dynamics is limited, which underscores the need for high-throughput analytical approaches and molecular marker signatures to clarify this etiology. Combining a high-throughput untargeted mass spectrometry screening and molecular markers, we show that forest, farmland and urban land uses result in distinct molecular signatures of SOM in the Lake Chaohu Basin. Molecular markers indicate that forest SOM has abundant carbon contents from vegetation and condensed organic carbon, leading to high soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration. Farmland SOM has moderate carbon contents from vegetation, and limited content of condensed organic carbon, with SOC significantly lower than that of forest soils. Urban SOM has high abundance of condensed organic carbon markers due to anthropogenic activities but relatively low in markers from vegetation. Consistently, urban soils have the highest black carbon/SOC ratio among these land uses. Overall, our results suggested that the molecular signature of SOM varies significantly with land use in the Lake Chaohu Basin, influencing carbon dynamics.

Researchers generally focused on one topic independently without comprehensive considerations due to the knowledge gap between environmental science and human health. Indeed, the full life cycle control of HMs is crucial and should be reconsidered with the combination of the occurrence, transport, and fate of HMs in the environment. Therefore, we started by reviewing the environmental behaviors of HMs which are affected by a variety of natural factors as well as their physicochemical properties. Furthermore, the related toxicity mechanisms were discussed according to exposure route, toxicity mechanism, and adverse consequences. In addition, the current state-of-the-art of available technologies for pollution control of HMs wastewater and solid wastes were summarized. Finally, based on the research trend, we proposed that advanced in-operando characterizations will help us better understand the fundamental reaction mechanisms, and big data analysis approaches will aid in establishing the prediction model for risk management.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":29813,"journal":{"name":"Eco-Environment & Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772985022000400/pdfft?md5=01613ed51475e5db4389ff73e3cda5a2&pid=1-s2.0-S2772985022000400-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134368884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there was rare information on spatiotemporal evolution and pollution levels of heavy metals in the major grain-producing areas. We extracted and examined data from 276 publications between 2010 and 2021 covering five major grain-producing regions in China from 2010 to 2021. Spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of main heavy metals/metalloids was obtained by meta-analysis. In addition, subgroup analyses were carried out to study preliminary correlations related to accumulation of the pollutants. Cadmium (Cd) was found to be the most prevailing pollutant in the regions in terms of both spatial distribution and temporal accumulation. The Huang-Huai-Hai Plain was the most severely polluted. Accumulation of Cd, mercury (Hg) and copper (Cu) increased from 2010 to 2015 when compared with the 1990 background data. Further, the levels of five key heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Hg, lead [Pb] and zinc [Zn]) showed increasing trends from 2016 to 2021 in all five regions. Soil pH and mean annual precipitation had variable influences on heavy metal accumulation. Alkaline soil and areas with less rainfall faced higher pollution levels. Farmlands cropped with mixed species showed smaller effect sizes of heavy metals than those with single upland crop, suggesting that mixed farmland use patterns could alleviate the levels of heavy metals in soil. Of various soil remediation efforts, farmland projects only held a small market share. The findings are important to support the research of risk assessment, regulatory development, pollution prevention, fund allocation and remediation actions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":29813,"journal":{"name":"Eco-Environment & Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772985022000382/pdfft?md5=fd9df5d17ce7b3429003d123a645c568&pid=1-s2.0-S2772985022000382-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129552929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanisms underlying the transfer and transformation of ENMs have been systematically explored in laboratory studies.

Here, a data-independent precursor isolation and characteristic fragment (DIPIC-Frag) method were optimized to screen chlorinated waters for Br-DBPs. There were 553 Br-DBPs detected with <em>m/z</em> values ranging from 170.884 to 497.0278 and chromatographic retention times from 2.4 to 26.2 min. With MS<sup>2</sup> information, structures for 40 of the 54 most abundant Br-DBPs were predicted. The method was then applied to a year-long study in which raw, clear well, and finished water were analyzed monthly. The 54 most abundant unregulated Br-DBPs were subjected to trend analysis. Br-DBPs with higher oxygen-to-carbon (O/C) and bromine-to-carbon (Br/C) ratios increased as water moved from the clear well to the finished stage, which indicated the dynamic formation of Br-DBPs. Monthly trends of unregulated Br-DBPs were compared to raw water parameters, such as natural organic matter, temperature, and total bromine, but no correlations were observed. It was found that total concentrations of bromine (TBr) in finished water (0.04–0.12 mg/L) were consistently and significantly greater than in raw water (0.013–0.038 mg/L, <em>P</em> < 0.001), suggesting the introduction of bromine during the disinfection process. Concentrations of TBr in treatment units, rather than raw water, were significantly correlated to 34 of the Br-DBPs at α = 0.05.
