While hydroxyl metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are commonly used exposure biomarkers of combustion-originated air pollutants, methylated PAHs are more abundant in woodsmoke than other sources. Thus, urinary PAH carboxylic acids, which are metabolites of methylated PAHs, may serve as more sensitive biomarkers of wildfire exposure. In this exploratory study, we developed an LC-MS/MS method to simultaneously quantify hydroxylated and carboxylic metabolites of PAHs and methyl-PAHs in urine. This method was then applied to 56 urine samples collected from 8 campers before, during, and after a 4-hour exposure to campfire. Campers also wore silicone wristbands to monitor ambient PAHs. We found that 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid (1-PYRCA) levels increased significantly at 4 h (96.9%, 95% CI: 2.60-101%), 6 h (96.8%, 95% CI: 5.85-107%), and 8 h (92.5%, 95% CI: 3.59-99.2%), and returned to baseline levels at 24 h. In contrast, the campfire exposure did not significantly increase other urinary PAH metabolites. Wristband PAHs also significantly increased during the 4-hour exposure. These results suggest the use of urinary 1-PYRCA as a sensitive exposure biomarker for woodsmoke and potentially for assessing exposure to wildfires.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12439608/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145079060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most previous studies have primarily focused on characterizing the surface O3 photochemical regime. Recent studies show significant vertical gradients in ozone precursor concentration ratios within the boundary layer, with weaker VOC-driven radical cycles and enhanced NOx-mediated photochemistry in the upper boundary layer. Given vertical transport of O3 within the boundary layer, quantifying a three-dimensional photochemical regime is critical. In this study, we employed the chemical transport model GEOS-Chem combined with the photochemical indicator to investigate changes in the O3 photochemical regime over the North China Plain (NCP) from 2013 to 2017. The analysis indicates that VOC-limited or transitional regimes prevail near the surface, whereas regions closer to the top of the boundary layer exhibit greater sensitivity to NOx. Notably, emission reduction policies have driven the NCP region to become increasingly sensitive to NOx, both horizontally and vertically. This shift stems from HO2 radicals increasing more significantly than OH radicals, causing pH2O2 to rise more than pHNO3. In turn, the elevation of radical concentrations and the transition of control regimes jointly boost daytime O3 formation and curbs nighttime O3 consumption, leading to O3 increases in the NCP.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"12 9","pages":"1197–1204"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145009734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

While environmental policies have accelerated the replacement of solvent-borne coatings with water-borne alternatives, the secondary formation potential induced by this substitution remains poorly constrained. In this study, we investigate the total reactive organic compound emissions of solvent- and water-borne coatings in terms of total OH reactivity (OHR). The emission factors of the OHR for solvent-borne coatings are 128 times higher than those for water-borne coatings. The huge difference dominantly stems from solvent contents by a factor of 80, with the remaining difference attributed to the average OH reactivity for unit mass of emissions (a factor of 60%). We show that substitutions of solvent-borne coatings with water-borne coatings avoided coating-sector OHR emissions by 64% for the year of 2022. However, solvent-borne coatings still dominate daily OHR emissions (99%). Our future projection indicates that continuous substitution of solvent-borne coatings is still the most effective policy measure for reducing environmental impacts of coating sector emissions, which will gradually decline over the next two decades.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"12 9","pages":"1184–1189"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145009621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

Since then, research concerning 6PPD-Q contamination pathways has focused on paved roads. However, over half of the road network in Canada consists of unpaved roads, which remain unstudied for 6PPD-Q contamination. In this paper, we hypothesize that (1) unpaved road networks can provide a pathway for 6PPD-Q to enter the environment and (2) 6PPD-Q concentrations in unpaved road dust are influenced by location, speed limit, collection date, and total organic carbon (TOC) content of the roads. To investigate this, we collected gravel from the surface of unpaved roads in and around Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Chemical extractions of road dust allowed for the detection and quantification of 6PPD-Q within each sample. Concentrations of 6PPD-Q ranged between 0.207 and 1.47 ng/g of dw (median: 0.511 ng/g of dw). When normalized to TOC content, concentrations varied between 9.83 and 342 ng/g of TOC (median: 145 ng/g of TOC). No factor other than the speed limit showed a positive linear relationship with 6PPD-Q concentrations. The results of this study are an initial glimpse into the role unpaved roads play in adding 6PPD-Q into the environment.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"12 9","pages":"1247–1251"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145009533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

Field studies reveal that birds bioaccumulate PFAS through ecosystem exposures. However, drivers of PFAS exposures are poorly understood and may suffer from species and geographic biases due to the significant effort and cost of conducting field studies for measuring PFAS in wild birds. Therefore, alternative methods for assessing avian PFAS exposures are needed. Herein, we explore the utility of opportunistic sampling of building collision fatalities for expanding knowledge of PFAS exposures in wild birds. Concentrations of 40 PFAS of regulatory concern were measured in 50 livers from eight passerine species killed in building strikes during their migration through Chicago, IL. Results indicate that exposure is dominated by perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids, fluorotelomer carboxylic acids, and perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids and that physiological factors and feeding strategies may impact PFAS exposures. Comparing liver concentrations to those found in similar species at contaminated and noncontaminated sites indicates that PFAS levels detected in building collision fatalities are representative of levels found in wild populations, suggesting that this approach may circumvent challenges encountered in traditional bird biomonitoring studies and offer opportunities for more detailed study of factors governing PFAS exposure and bioaccumulation.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"12 9","pages":"1232–1237"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145009742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

Non-targeted analysis (NTA) by liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) is useful in measuring broad chemical space regions. Internal standards are typically used to optimize the selectivity and sensitivity of NTA LC-HRMS methods, assuming a linear relationship between structure and behavior across all analytes. However, this assumption fails for large, heterogeneous chemical spaces, narrowing measurable coverage to structurally similar compounds. We present a data-driven strategy for unbiased sampling of candidate structures for NTA LC-HRMS method development from extensive chemical spaces, such as the U.S. EPA’s CompTox (>1 million chemicals). The workflow maximizes physicochemical/structural diversity using precomputed PubChem descriptors (e.g., molecular weight, XLogP) and grants LC-HRMS compatibility thanks to predicted mobility and ionization efficiency from molecular fingerprints. The resulting measurable compound lists (MCLs) provide broad, heterogeneous coverage for NTA method development, validation, and boundary assessment. Applied to the CompTox space, the approach yielded MCLs with greater chemical coverage and broader predicted LC-HRMS applicability than conventional “watch list” contaminants, offering a robust framework for enhancing NTA’s measurable chemical space while preserving diversity.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"12 9","pages":"1162–1168"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acs.estlett.5c00759","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145009715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the observed sulfate-to-total-sulfur ratio remained relatively constant at ∼30% in summer, this fraction increased from ∼10% to ∼20% in winter from 2004 to 2013 and then remained at ∼20%. The rise in sulfate-to-total-sulfur ratio resulted in a slower decrease of sulfate in 2004–2013 compared to 2013–2023 despite a greater reduction of SO2 in the earlier decade, reflecting a significant decline in the efficacy of SO2 emission reduction in improving air quality in winter. The decrease in efficacy is attributed to the increased oxidation of SO2 in winter because of the diminishing oversupply of SO2 compared to the availability of atmospheric oxidant, H2O2. Consequently, the seasonal differences in SO2 and sulfate concentrations between summer and winter have narrowed. This chemical damping effect, caused by limited oxidant availability, is likely to delay the reduction in sulfate concentrations in other polluted regions where the transition from coal to natural gas in power plants or alternative energy sources has not progressed as rapidly as in the United States.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"12 9","pages":"1190–1196"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acs.estlett.5c00731","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145009714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adsorption kinetics, isotherms, selectivity, and influence of competing salts were examined, along with B recovery from seawater and simulated desalination brine. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and pH at the point of zero charge (pHPZC) analysis were used to elucidate the adsorption mechanism.

Moreover, MGMC demonstrated excellent selectivity for B, effectively rejecting diverse metals and oxyanions. Furthermore, it achieved ≥97% B sorption from seawater and simulated brine with shorter contact times and lower dosages than commercial resins. MGMC’s outstanding B selectivity is attributed to the strong coordinated interaction between B and the hydroxy groups in its NMDG-rich structure, further aided by a low pHPZC (6.9).
