However, their practical applications are often hindered by difficulties in separating viscous solid-phase products. This study introduces a novel nonaqueous absorbent system (PD/PZ/NMP) composed of 4-amino-1-methylpiperidine (PD), piperazine (PZ), and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), engineered to produce easily separable powdery products. The PD/PZ/NMP absorbent achieves a CO2 loading of 0.86 mol-CO2/mol-amine, with 91% of CO2 concentrated in the solid phase. It demonstrates excellent cyclic stability, maintaining a regeneration efficiency of 91% after five regeneration cycles, and reduces energy consumption by 52% compared with the conventional monoethanolamine absorbent. Remarkably, PZ plays a crucial role in regulating the crystal composition of solid-phase products, transforming them from a viscous state to a crystalline powder. Characterization and density functional theory analysis explain the crystal-phase regulation mechanism: PD absorbs CO2 to form zwitterions (PDH+COO–), affording viscous products, and PZ forms protonated amines (PZH+) and monocarbamates (PZCOO–), which interact with PDH+COO– via hydrogen bonding to form a crystalline powder. These findings demonstrate the CO2 capture efficacy of the PD/PZ/NMP absorbent and provide a robust theoretical framework for fabricating solid–liquid biphasic absorbents tailored for practical applications.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143050511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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 examined 87 OHCs and 32 FAs in two sentinel cetacean species─Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (n = 128) and Indo-Pacific finless porpoises (n = 26)─from the northern South China Sea (NSCS), a global hotspot for OHCs. Our results revealed higher OHC levels in these cetaceans than global averages. We identified 347 significant correlations between 79 OHCs and 32 FAs, including 32 associations with long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are critical for cetacean health. Furthermore, 45 significant correlations were found between OHC levels and desaturated enzyme activities/lipogenic indexes, suggesting that OHCs may disrupt lipid metabolism in these cetaceans. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers as legacy flame retardants were major contributors to the OHC–FA relationships. Moreover, alternative halogenated flame retardants, as PBDE substitutes, may similarly impact FA metabolism, raising concerns regarding their safety. Our findings support the potential use of FAs as bioindicators for evaluating OHC exposure risks in cetaceans.

Effective deployment requires not only low capital costs for observations but also a simultaneous reduction in labor costs. The Berkeley Environmental Air Quality and CO2 Network (BEACO2N) is a sensor network measuring O3, CO, NO, and NO2, particulate matter (PM2.5), and CO2 at dozens of locations in cities where it is deployed. Here, we describe a low labor cost in situ field calibration for the BEACO2N O3, CO, NO, and NO2 sensors. This method identifies and leverages uniform periods in concentrations across the network for calibration. The calibration achieves high accuracy and low biases with respect to temperature, humidity, and concentration, with coefficients of determination and root mean square errors of 0.88 and 3.70 ppb for O3, 0.66 and 3.16 ppb for NO2, and 0.79 and 1.58 ppb for NO. Performance of the CO sensor is 0.90 and 33.3 ppb at a site colocated with reference measurements.

The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a typical lipid-sensing nuclear receptor and plays a crucial role in the development of metabolic diseases. However, few studies have examined the FXR activities of environmental samples and the corresponding MDCs. In this study, we found FXR-antagonistic activities in 93.6% of source water, surface water, and wastewater samples (n = 78) collected from the Yangtze River and Yellow River. An FXR protein-affinity guided nontargeted analysis was performed and identified 79 potential FXR-active pollutants in samples from these two rivers. Nine of these pollutants exhibited strong FXR-antagonistic activities (IC50: 2.39–141.9 μM), and 6 pollutants, including triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), 4,4′-sulfonylbis[2-(2-propenyl) phenol (TGSA), tonalid (AHTN), dichlorophen, etoxazole (ETX), and loratadine, were identified to be FXR antagonists for the first time. The total concentrations of the nine FXR-antagonistic pollutants were relatively high in the middle and downstream reaches of the Yellow River and the downstream reaches of the Yangtze River, and two pollutants (TGSA and ETX) have not previously been found in aquatic environments. A risk prioritization analysis revealed that TPHP, TGSA, and AHTN are priority pollutants with the potential to affect the FXR. Appropriate management of these priority pollutants would reduce the health risks of metabolic disruptions associated with exposure to these MDCs.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143050106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Surface waters contain suspended natural particles (e.g., clay and silt), which may impact MP settling rates. Here, we investigated how the presence of suspended sediments (SS) influenced the deposition patterns and rates of MPs in turbid waters. We systematically analyzed the settling velocities of particles, including different MP sizes and SS concentrations, in a plexiglass column with a camera array. For each experimental variant, we collected data on thousands of individual MPs, strengthening the statistical analysis of the particles’ velocities. Simultaneous measurements of the SS flow and MPs trajectories revealed that the SS induced complex flow patterns, with MPs spending more time in downwelling flow regions, thereby accelerating MPs sedimentation. This effect was more pronounced when SS were aggregated. Additionally, we found that smaller MP fragments were more affected by the fluctuations than spheres or larger fragments. Collectively, our results provide valuable data for future MP fate models and help to understand the sedimentation processes of MPs in natural waters, which is crucial for assessing their environmental transport and impact.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143044505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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, the compositional characteristics of DOM transformation during the chlorination process in different source waters and its relationship to cytotoxicity remain understudied. Here, we used high-resolution mass spectrometry to evaluate chlorination-induced molecular-level changes in DOM derived from different surface water sources. We correlated DOM components with the cytotoxicity profiles of selected DBPs using new alternative methods with predictive toxicological assessments. Our findings indicate a selective chlorination of DOM in natural waters and a tendency for lignin and protein conversion during the manual chlorination process. The reactivity of bioactive compounds decreased in the order of lignin > protein > tannin or ConAC. The cytotoxicity of DOM from source waters is mainly attributed to lignin- and protein-like compounds within the CHO and CHNO groups. Additionally, mitochondrial damage is a highly sensitive indicator of DOM-induced cytotoxicity. The toxicity profiles of DBPs revealed 37 common toxicity-driving components characterized by low mass, medium H/C ratio, low O/C ratio, reduction state, and hydrophobicity. Our findings highlight the need to exploit the health effects of DOM and provide substantial experimental evidence for the necessity to remove potential toxicants.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143050107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

By the complementary applications of HPLC-MS and oxygen-18 isotope-labeling method, MTZ-derived sulfenic (MTZ-SOH) and sulfinic acids were detected and identified as transient intermediates, and sulfonic acid as final products. More interestingly, among all the products, MTZ-SOH was found to be the critical one directly responsible for the ·OH formation. Not only MTZ, but also its derivatives can activate H2O2 to produce ·OH. Taken together, we found an unexpected sulfenic acid-dependent ·OH production from activation of H2O2 by heterocyclic thiol compounds, which may provide a new free radical perspective to further explore the environmental and biological behaviors of these widely used thiol compounds.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143044503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}
