The extensive use of chiral permethrin (PM), the most popular synthetic type I pyrethroid insecticide worldwide, has led to its increased detection in aquatic environments. However, our understanding of PM's role in spreading ARGs is still limited. Here, we systematically assessed the effects of two chiral isomers of 1R-cis-PM (CPM) and 1R-trans-PM (TPM) on the dissemination of ARGs in the aquatic environments by using a natural transformation (NT) model comprising plasmid pWH1274 and <em>Acinetobacter baylyi</em> ADP1. It was found that reactive oxygen species (ROS) was the main factor facilitating the NT of ARGs mediated by CPM and TPM, although their respective production mechanisms exhibited distinct pathways: CPM generates ROS primarily through the primary electron transport chain (ETC), whereas TPM does so via a secondary ETC. Furthermore, CPM enhanced NT by improving bacterial competent state, while TPM promotes it by enhancing recombination. It was confirmed that both CPM and TPM have the potential to accelerate the spread of ARGs through distinct mechanisms. These findings will help us understand that different chiral isomers may pose risks through distinct mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hazardous Materials","volume":"128 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143072087","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}

In this study, an innovative linear conjugated polymer (PCO) was combined with fragmented carbon nitride (TP-PCN) to create PCO/TP-PCN organic-organic S-scheme heterojunctions, which markedly enhanced the photocatalytic antimicrobial performance. The composite (PCO-7/TP-PCN) demonstrated the ability to combat bacterial infections under visible light irradiation, effectively eradicating approximately 2.16 × 10<sup>7</sup> cfu/ml MRSA within 6<!-- --> <!-- -->min. This exceptional photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the successful formation of an S-scheme heterojunction between PCO and TP-PCN, as well as the interaction of surface functional groups of PCO-7/TP-PCN with bacteria. Results from UV–Vis-NIR DRS and in <em>situ</em>-XPS experiments indicated a significant enhancement in carrier transport rate through the establishment of a built-in electric field and energy band bending at the interface. In vitro and in vivo experiments further demonstrated that PCO-7/TP-PCN not only exhibited potent antimicrobial activity under visible light irradiation but also promoted angiogenesis to inhibit inflammatory responses. Therefore, it can be concluded that this organic-organic S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst holds great potential for development as a promising new generation of efficient antimicrobial materials, which could aid in preventing bacterial infection of wounds and ensuring effective wound healing.","PeriodicalId":361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hazardous Materials","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143072053","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}

Variance analysis showed significant influences of soil type, land-use type, parent rock, landform, soil pH, and SOC on spatial distributions. Cr exhibited exponential variations with depth. Using an exponential fitting model with multiple integrations, the Cr potential risk stock was estimated at 1.78 × 10<sup>5</sup> tons with middle and deep layers accounting for the highest, underscoring the complexity and challenges of managing Cr risks.

The findings reveal that the expiratory flow was affected by the secondary motion, and two secondary vortices were formed around the posterior pharyngeal wall, which was prone to dust deposition. As the expiratory intensity increased, a large amount of 1–15 μm small-sized dust was deposited in the pharynx, and the deposition fraction (DF<sub>d</sub>) of 15 μm dust increased the most, reaching 77.13 %; 20–80 μm large-sized dust was difficult to exhale, and most were deposited near the nasal turbinate and nasopharynx. With the increase of density, the escape rate (ER<sub>d</sub>) of 1–15 μm dust showed a decreasing trend. The deposition of large-sized dust over 20 μm in nasopharyngeal region was more affected by density changes, but this fluctuation was reduced with increasing particle size.

The concentration and carbon and chlorine isotope composition of methoxychlor and its transformation products were monitored in water and solid phases of a fractured aquifer. The results from the interception trenches water samples demonstrated that induced alkaline conditions promoted alkaline hydrolysis. Natural attenuation of methoxychlor isomers was evidenced by carbon and chlorine isotopic fractionation. The field C-Cl isotope slope (Λ<sub>C/Cl</sub> = 0.42 ± 0.06; R² = 0.98) was statistically indistinguishable (p > 0.05) from that obtained in a previous experiment (0.44 ± 0.14), confirming the occurrence of reductive dechlorination of methoxychlor isomers. P,p’-methoxychlor <em>δ</em><sup>13</sup>C values in groundwater samples revealed variations linked to rainfall patterns. The extent of p,p′-methoxychlor biodegradation was calculated to be greater than 89 % across the monitoring period. The combined use of CSIA and IF evidenced that alkaline hydrolysis and reductive dechlorination did not exhibit isomeric selectivity. Differences in IF values between slurry and water samples, as well as between upstream and downstream wells, suggested variations in the environmental behaviour of the p,p’ and o,p’-isomers, likely due to differing water solubilities. Overall, ME-CSIA proved to be a valuable tool for identifying, quantifying, and tracing methoxychlor degradation in this aquifer. Additionally, IF provided insights into the distinct environmental behaviour of the p,p′- and o,p′-isomers.
