The molecular composition and optical properties of organic aerosols were characterized using an ultrahigh performance liquid chromatograph coupled with a diode array detector and an Orbitrap mass spectrometer. The light absorption of organic aerosols was relatively low in this forest environment, as revealed by their lower mass absorption coefficients at 365 nm wavelength (MAC<sub>365</sub>, mean 0.19 ± 0.13 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>−1</sup>) compared with those of worldwide locations (approximately 0.04–2.8 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>−1</sup>). The light absorption of BrC exhibited strong seasonal variabilities, with higher MAC<sub>365</sub> values in fall and winter than those in spring and summer seasons. They were mostly classified as very weakly absorbing BrC, while the absorption capacities were increased with enhanced anthropogenic pollution. A total of 51 major BrC species were identified and mostly composed of CHO and CHON species (84%), accounting for 14–39% of the total absorbance of BrC at 300–450 nm. The optical properties of BrC largely depended on their chemical composition and molecular structures, with lignin-like compounds and condensed aromatics being the major BrC components. The lipid- and protein-like compounds with lower unsaturation degrees could be the potential BrC species mainly originating from biomass burning and biological emissions. This study advances our knowledge on the connections of optical properties of BrC aerosols with their molecular characteristics in anthropogenic–biogenic intersection atmosphere.","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145289055","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}

This study explored the occurrence of emerging and established contaminants, including radiopharmaceuticals, heavy metals, and rare earth elements within PM deposited on the broad- and needle- leaf surfaces of urban trees. Broad- and needle- leaf samples of <em>Hedera helix</em> L., <em>Pinus sylvestris and Thuja occidentalis</em> were collected from an urban-industrial area in Gliwice, Poland. The morphology of the leaf surfaces and the composition of PM deposited on the leaves were examined using scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). A quantitative analysis of particle fractions (large, coarse, fine) was performed through sequential filtration and gravimetric weighing following the washing of the plant material. The results indicated that the PM capture capacity of broad- and needle- leaf species depends on the morphological traits intrinsic to the species. The plant species with the greatest potential for retention of particulate matter was <em>P. sylvestris</em>, where deposited particles constituted 0.33% of the total mass of the <em>P. sylvestris</em> needle- leaves. Particulate matter can be characterised by compounds containing potentially toxic elements: heavy metals such as As, Sb, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, and Hg; other elements such as Ba, Ti, Fe, Mn, and Ag; as well as various trace elements, including rare earth elements. Particulate matter is also likely to carry radiopharmaceuticals such as those containing Tc and Re. Monitoring the elemental content of PM provides valuable information on the source and distribution of pollutants in the environment, including emerging pollutants such as radiopharmaceuticals.","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145289002","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}

Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the primary risk factor. Consequently, outdoor workers face a potential long-term occupational hazard, but little is known about the extent to which occupational UVR exposure affects the risk of NMSC. We aimed to quantify the exposure-response relation between occupational solar UVR exposure and NMSC incidence in a nationwide cohort. We conducted a register-based cohort study of the entire Danish workforce 1977–2015 assessing the association between occupational UVR exposure and the incidence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) as recorded in the Danish Cancer Register. Exposure was measured in standardised erythema dose (SED) based on a newly developed European UVR job exposure matrix. We analysed confounder-adjusted incidence rate ratios of NMSC with a discrete-time hazard model and modelled the shape of the exposure-response relation with restricted cubic splines. Of the 2,943,463 workers followed for a median of 20 years, 26,958 were diagnosed with BCC and 1,132 with SCC. Median cumulative exposure was 5.99 SED-years. We observed a positive exposure-response relation between occupational solar UVR and BCC, with an adjusted incidence rate ratio of 1.58 (95% CI: 1.47-1.70) in the highest exposure quartile compared with the lowest. Results for SCC suggested a similar exposure–response pattern, although not reaching statistical significance. We observed a strong exposure-response relation between occupational solar UVR exposure and the risk of NMSC in Danish workers. These findings underscore the need for implementing preventive strategies.<h3>Trial registration number</h3>j.no.: 1-16-02-196-17.","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145289007","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}

Characteristic Raman peaks at 877 and 1732 cm<sup>−1</sup> indicate the presence of hydroperoxide and ketone groups, respectively. The presence of an FTIR band at ∼3400 cm<sup>−1</sup> further confirmed the formation of hydroperoxides. After the UV-C exposure period ended, the soil samples were processed to extract particles generated from the degraded polymer. Dynamic Light Scattering analysis indicated an average hydrodynamic size of 2388.88 ± 988.42 nm. Raman spectra of these particles confirmed the presence of polystyrene, while particles with an average size of 182.01 ± 34.58 nm were identified as common soil minerals (quartz, anatase, calcite, albite, and hematite). These findings enhance our understanding of the mechanisms driving microplastics formation under extreme environmental conditions and highlight key analytical tools for their detection and characterization in complex soil matrices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"386 ","pages":"Article 127274"},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145283290","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}

However, whether these effects are recoverable after exposure—and the mechanisms underlying any recovery—remains poorly understood, limiting accurate risk assessment for these toxicants. In this study, zebrafish were exposed to three representative PAEs—dimethyl phthalate (DMP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP)—for 4 days, followed by a 7-day recovery in PAEs-free water. By combining accumulation assessment, survival analysis, and transcriptomic sequencing, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying these toxic effects and recovery. All three PAEs were detected in zebrafish during exposure and recovery periods. While no changes were observed in survival, transcriptomic sequencing revealed distinct molecular patterns: DMP interfered with PPAR signaling and tryptophan metabolism, leading to lipid dysregulation, neurotransmitter imbalance, and oxidative stress. DBP influenced glutathione metabolism, reducing antioxidant and detoxification capacity. DNOP suppressed the expressions of genes related to cell cycle and DNA replication, inhibiting cell proliferation and tissue repair. After 7-day recovery, PAE residues were still at high levels, and molecular alterations were aggravated: tryptophan metabolism was further inhibited in the DMP exposure, glutathione pathway remained downregulated under DBP, and DNOP-induced cell cycle arrest became more severe. Our results suggest that PAE exposures can induce persistent and compound-specific transcriptomic toxicity in zebrafish, even after toxicant removal. These findings highlight the importance of including post-exposure periods in future toxicological studies and provide molecular insights for improving environmental risk assessments for PAEs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"386 ","pages":"Article 127272"},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145283289","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}
