Current life-cycle assessments of materials (particularly “low-carbon” materials) often focus on cradle-to-gate emissions, which can exclude emissions and uptake (i.e., fluxes) later in the materials’ life-cycle. Further, conventional CO<sub>2</sub>e emission characterization disregards the dynamic effects of the timing of emissions and uptake on cumulative radiative forcing from processes like manufacturing, biomass growth, and the decadal carbon storage in long-lived building materials. This work presents a framework to analyze the cradle-to-grave CO<sub>2</sub>e balance of building materials using a time-dependent global warming potential calculation. We apply this framework in the dynamic accounting of carbon uptake in the built environment (D-CUBE) tool and examine two case studies: concrete and cross-laminated timber (CLT). When accounting for dynamic effects, the long storage time of biogenic carbon in CLT results in reduced warming, while the slow rate of uptake via concrete carbonation does not result in significant reductions in global warming. The D-CUBE tool allows for consistent comparisons across materials and emissions mitigation strategies at varying life-cycle stages and can be adapted to other materials or systems with different lifespans and applications. The flexibility of D-CUBE and the ability to identify CO<sub>2</sub>e emission hot-spot life-cycle stages will be instrumental in identifying pathways to achieving net-carbon-sequestering building materials.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"99 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143703139","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}

These emerging pathogens represent significant, yet often underestimated, health risks. Our study investigated peroxide disinfection of murine norovirus vesicles, a surrogate for human norovirus vesicles, and elucidated disinfection mechanisms. Peracetic acid, a neutral peroxide, rapidly inactivated murine norovirus vesicles. In contrast, negatively charged peroxides, i.e., peracetate and peroxymonosulfate, exhibited restricted effectiveness in inactivating murine noroviruses within vesicles. The largely intact viruses cloaked within vesicles remained infectious and retained their ability to replicate upon vesicle lysis triggered by mechanical forces, enzymatic activity, or chemical reactions following disinfection. Peroxides primarily targeted vesicle/viral proteins, particularly amino acid residues such as cysteine and methionine, without affecting the viral ORF2 gene fragment or vesicle structures. Disruption of viral internalization, rather than binding, plays a key role in infectivity loss. This work highlights the protective role of vesicle membranes and emphasizes the need for innovative disinfection approaches to effectively target viruses cloaked within vesicles.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"375 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143695815","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}

Here, we provide our perspectives on the current knowledge about how environmental exposure alters the epitranscriptome, where we focus on dynamic changes in RNA modifications and their regulatory proteins elicited by exposure to environmental agents. We discuss how these epitranscriptomic alterations may contribute to the development of human diseases, especially neurodegeneration and cancer. We also discuss the potential and technical challenges of harnessing RNA modifications as biomarkers for monitoring environmental exposure.

Yet, the regulatory role of different humic components involved in the initial formation of Fe (oxyhydr)oxides is still lacking. In this study, we identified the characteristic formation periods of ferrihydrite (Fh), the initial phase of Fe (oxyhydr)oxides, through real-time monitoring of solution pH and in situ observations of precipitated Fh nanoparticles in the absence and presence of different humic components. The kinetics of Fh formation were quantified at micrometer and nanometer scales using Raman spectroscopy (RS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. Results indicated that the extension of induction time, retardation of phase occurrence, and inhibition of nucleation rates for Fh formation were all dependent on the specific humic component with an order of fulvic acid (FA) > humic acid (HA) > humin (HM). Nanoscale data analysis revealed that the thermodynamic barrier to Fh nucleation increased by maximizing the interfacial free energy (γ) of the reaction system. Through molecular bonding quantification, AFM-based dynamic force spectroscopy (DFS) measurements demonstrated a linear relationship between Gibbs free energies (Δ<i>G</i><sub>b</sub>) of soil organic matter (SOM) binding to Fh and γ within the classical nucleation theory (CNT), linking heterogeneous nucleation barriers with organo-mineral bonding. This study is the first to provide in situ evidence of the inhibitory effects of soil humic components on the formation of Fe (oxyhydr)oxides and quantitatively establish that higher energy barriers to nucleation correlate with stronger organo-mineral bonding. This relationship suggests that good organic binders are good inhibitors for mineral formation, offering a novel perspective for predicting the formation and fate of soil minerals through the lens of organo-mineral binding free energies.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143695644","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}

BP-8, its two metabolites, BP-3, and BP-1 at 10 nM significantly disrupted progesterone-dependent decidualization in HESCs, marked by 1.5–1.8-fold and 2.2–2.6-fold upregulation of <i>IGFBP-1</i> and <i>LEFTY</i>, respectively.

Mechanistically, the inhibition of estrogen receptor α (ERα) effectively alleviated these decidual disrupting effects. BPs increased the transcription of ERα and progesterone receptor (PR) signaling and enhanced nuclear translocation and interaction between ERα and PR during decidualization. The ERα-mediated enhancement of PR signaling activity by BPs was further validated in progesterone response element-luciferase transfected cells.
