Previous field studies have observed an inverse correlation between these two pollutants indoors, but the specific mechanism remains unclear. Given the semivolatile behavior of HONO, a possible mechanism is its multiphase reaction with ozone. In this study, we measured ozone uptake on surface HONO/NO<sub>2</sub><sup>–</sup> under environmentally relevant conditions in a flow tube. The ozone deposition velocities (<i>v</i><sub>d</sub> = 0.002 ± 0.001–0.3 ± 0.005 cm s<sup>–1</sup>) and uptake coefficients (γ = (0.2 ± 0.1) × 10<sup>–6</sup>–(2.0 ± 0.2) × 10<sup>–4</sup>) depend on reactant concentrations, relative humidity, and reaction time but are less affected by illumination. The lifetimes of gaseous HONO and ozone are approximately 10 min due to this multiphase reaction under indoor conditions, which is a significant sink for HONO and O<sub>3</sub> as compared to those of other indoor reactions and air exchange. This study for the first time revealed the previously overlooked vital role of the reaction of surface HONO/NO<sub>2</sub><sup>–</sup> with O<sub>3</sub> in affecting both indoor HONO and O<sub>3</sub> and has significance for understanding the multiphase chemistry of HONO and O<sub>3</sub>, with implications for outdoor surfaces and model studies to better constrain HONO sinks.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"183 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143758128","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}

Estuarine sediments function as major sinks for MPs and hotspots for critical biogeochemical processes, which are significantly influenced by benthic bioturbation. However, the impacts of MPs on the behavior of highly mobile benthic organisms and the ecological effects of bioturbation activities remain poorly understood. This study utilized laboratory simulation experiments, AI-based behavioral tracking, and metagenomic sequencing to systematically examine the effects of sand crab bioturbation on MPs migration, sediment physicochemical properties and sulfur cycling processes. Results demonstrated that sand crab bioturbation substantially enhanced the vertical migration of MPs, with fluxes to surface layers and the overlying water increasing by 27-fold compared to undisturbed conditions. Exposure to PE-MPs reduced sand crabs’ surface foraging intensity and induced behavioral abnormalities. The crabs actively avoided MPs, exhibiting a preference for burrowing and residing in deeper sediment layers. This behavioral shift significantly altered microbial community distributions, with an increase of <i>Pseudomonadota</i> abundance and a decline of sulfate-reducing bacteria <i>Thermodesulfobacteriota</i> abundance. Furthermore, bioturbation accelerated sulfate oxidation in deeper sediments while inhibited dissimilatory sulfate reduction. This study is the first to identify the role of bioturbation in promoting the upward migration of MPs in sediments. Altered sand crab bioturbation will impact sediment biogeochemistry, estuarine function, and coastal resilience.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745147","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, salt entrapment in the close-dendritic ice pore network is uncontrollable, which makes ice-salt separation a challenge. To address this issue, this study reported the electro-assisted crystallization (EAC) to realize the controllable FD, inspired by the ice purification during insulator flashover frequently observed in power transmission systems. The experiment performed at −20 °C demonstrated that EAC allowed ice crystallization with an open ice pore network, whose open-area percentage was increased from 25 to 41% as current density was raised from 10 to 30 mA cm<sup>–2</sup>. The EAC could achieve 89.3% desalination efficiency from 35 g L<sup>–1</sup> saltwater at 30 mA cm<sup>–2</sup>, the value being four times that obtained for direct FD. Based on the principle of physical field synergy, the spontaneous salt release and controllable FD were likely the results of electro-heat synergy between Joule heating and dipole polarization effects. This study not only provides a novel pathway for controllable ice-salt separation inspired by flashover phenomenon but also suggests a potential technology for desalination treatment of water or wastewater in cold regions.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143758135","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 paper employed an integrated modeling approach, incorporating numerical simulations, statistical analyses, and machine learning to address this issue. We comprehensively accounted for the different driving mechanisms, along with the various migration and transformation processes of groundwater VOCs. This investigation identified 11 key factors influencing surface pollutant flux. The data-enhanced statistical surrogate models and sampling-fusion-based support vector machine (SVM) surrogate models were established for appropriate generic modeling applications in which the high computation burden and difficulty could be avoided of the complicated numerical modeling. Those models would enable accurate prediction of surface fluxes and reliable classification of environmental risks. Notably, the pollutant fluxes through the soil–air interface over a short period could be sufficient to cause slow-airflow space air concentrations to exceed acceptable levels. Particularly, the established generic statistical surrogate models and SVM surrogate models have significant implications in efficiently and rapidly assessing the VOCs surface fluxes and environmental risk with meaningful quantified uncertainties for specific site conditions.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745144","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}

Despite this, the mechanisms underlying the toxicity of CdS-NPs remain unclear. A key question is whether their toxicity arises from the nanoparticulate form of cadmium (Cd) or from the release of Cd<sup>2+</sup>. To explore this, we exposed freshwater clams <i>(Corbicula fluminea)</i> to environmentally relevant concentrations (0.01–1 mg/L) of CdS-NPs or Cd<sup>2+</sup> for 10 days. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining revealed significant damage to the digestive gland in both cases. Although CdS-NPs released some Cd<sup>2+</sup> (≤10.4%), transcriptomic and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses indicated different toxicity mechanisms. CdS-NPs primarily induce ferroptosis, triggered by lysosomal dysfunction that releases Fe<sup>2+</sup> into the cytoplasm, disrupting the cellular iron metabolism. In contrast, Cd<sup>2+</sup> primarily induces an autophagic response, as evidenced by the upregulation of autophagy-related markers and activation of apoptosis pathways linked to mitochondrial membrane permeabilization. Overall, our findings suggest that the toxicity of CdS-NPs is not solely derived from Cd<sup>2+</sup>, highlighting the need to evaluate the risks posed by metal sulfide nanoparticles to benthic ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745148","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}
