This expanded understanding extends the concern from a construction-related hazard to a broader public health issue, especially affecting vulnerable populations like children who play on blacktop surfaces. Despite increased awareness, the specific mechanisms behind asphalt emissions, their impact on asphalt deterioration, and their effects on the human nervous system remain poorly understood. Our study addresses these knowledge gaps by examining the long-term health effects of asphalt emissions, focusing on neurological impacts. We investigate how environmental stressors and asphalt’s chemical composition influence emission types and severity, using a combination of in vitro experiments, Drosophila melanogaster models, and advanced computational analyses. FTIR analysis reveals that as asphalt ages, emissions evolve from aliphatic to aromatic compounds, increasing toxicity. Our results demonstrate significant neurological damage from asphalt emissions, with effects worsening with age and being more pronounced in females, as shown in the Drosophila model, emphasizing the need for gender-specific health risk research. In vitro studies using 3T3L1 cells show that VOC exposure disrupts lipid droplet formation and metabolism, processes linked to neurodegenerative disorders. To mitigate emissions, our novel approach introduces wood-based biochar as a functional carbon to enhance intermolecular interactions within asphalt. GC-MS analysis indicates that biochar reduces VOC emissions by up to 76%, while molecular dynamics (MD) simulations highlight biochar's effectiveness in hindering free-radical diffusion. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm biochar's role, with adsorption energies of -20.4<!-- --> <!-- -->kcal/mol, demonstrating strong and stable interactions that decelerate oxidative aging and mass loss. These findings offer a comprehensive understanding of emission mechanisms and propose a sustainable strategy to enhance asphalt durability while reducing environmental and health risks. This in turn provides evidence-based recommendations for the asphalt industry, emphasizing proactive measures toward long-term exposure mitigation.<h3>Synopsis</h3>Asphalt emits chemicals throughout its service life, posing neurological risks, especially to vulnerable groups, and needs emission mitigation.","PeriodicalId":361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hazardous Materials","volume":"142 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142820965","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 the baseline toxicity of VOCs in both gaseous and liquid phases using a self-assembled passive colonization hydrogel (SAPCH) with luminous bacteria (<em>Vibrio fischeri</em>). The findings revealed that gaseous VOCs exhibited higher baseline toxicity than their liquid counterparts, attributed to the higher free energy and electronic activity of gaseous VOC molecules. Furthermore, the study elucidated that the differences in electronic transitions and energy gaps significantly impact the combined toxicity of VOC mixtures in different phases. Understanding these differences is crucial for assessing the real-world impact of VOCs on health and the environment.","PeriodicalId":361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hazardous Materials","volume":"248 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142820945","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 work, we proposed an innovative strategy involving the doping of inactive metal ions to develop zinc-doped manganese hexacyanoferrate (ZMFC) as an HCDI cathode. This approach leveraged the synergistic effects of ion sieving of three-dimensional lattice and zinc doping to regulate electrochemical activity, enabling the selective electrochemical extraction of Cs<sup>+</sup> ions from highly saline solutions.

The effectiveness of cesium selective extraction from brine in Xizang suggests that the ZMFC-0.1 electrodes hold significant promise for cesium recovery from salt lakes.

The degradation half-lives of pyraclostrobin varied across the soil types, ranging from 15.7 to 43.4 days, in the following order: Anyang soil > Qingdao soil > Yangling soil. Repeated pyraclostrobin treatment affected degradation behaviors across the different soils. Pyraclostrobin significantly inhibited soil microbial activity and reduced soil bacterial diversity, with more pronounced negative effects observed at high-concentration treatment. Pyraclostrobin clearly changed soil bacterial community structures, significantly enriching potentially degradative bacterial genera such as <em>Methylibium</em> and <em>Nocardioides</em>, which showed increases in the relative abundances of 3.0%–181.8% compared with control. Additionally, pyraclostrobin reduced the complexity of soil bacterial networks and modified the diversity of functional modules. Notably, repeated treatment severely disrupted soil nitrogen cycling, with the absolute abundances of <em>amoA</em>, <em>amoB</em>, <em>nifH</em>, <em>nirK</em>, and <em>nirS</em> in high-concentration treatment decreasing by up to 19.4%–91.8% compared with control.

Kinetic rate of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) removal through peracetic acid (PAA) activation by FeCe-O-CN is 4.1-fold of that without Ce doping.
