Here, we developed hourly link-level inventories of GHG (CO<sub>2</sub>, CH<sub>4</sub>, and N<sub>2</sub>O) emissions from on-road vehicles in Beijing for 2022 and 2023, leveraging extensive observational traffic data and machine learning models. Our analysis revealed that vehicle activity in Beijing greatly increased in 2023 following the relaxation of pandemic control measures, particularly on expressways and during weekends. This resulted in 21%, 22%, and 24% increases in CO<sub>2</sub>, CH<sub>4</sub>, and N<sub>2</sub>O emissions, respectively, compared to 2022. The rebound was concentrated in two short periods of the strict 2022 lockdowns, accounting for over two-thirds of the total increase in 2023, underscoring the impact of human activity. Furthermore, we found that vehicle fleet updates in 2023 helped slightly mitigate the rebound in CO<sub>2</sub>, CH<sub>4</sub>, and N<sub>2</sub>O emissions, reducing their total emissions by 8.4%, 6.8%, and 5.1%, respectively.

The process’s effectiveness was further validated in treating field-collected single-use AERs (PFA694 and AmberLite PSR2 Plus) contaminated with PFAS mixtures of varying chain lengths and head groups.

PET-hydrolyzing enzymes (PHEs) such as <i>Is</i>PETase and variants like FAST-PETase demonstrate promising PET depolymerization capabilities at ambient temperatures and can be utilized to recycle and upcycle plastic waste. Whole-cell biocatalysts displaying PHEs on their surface offer high efficiency, reusability, and stability for PET depolymerization. However, their efficacy in fully breaking down PET is hindered by the necessity of two enzymes: PETase and MHETase. Current whole-cell systems either display only one enzyme or struggle with performance when displaying larger enzymes such as the MHETase–PETase chimera. We developed a <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>-based whole-cell biocatalyst for complete depolymerization of PET into its constituent monomers with no accumulation of intermediate products. Leveraging a cellulosome-inspired trifunctional protein scaffoldin displayed on the yeast surface, we co-immobilized FAST-PETase and MHETase, forming a multi-enzyme cluster. This whole-cell biocatalyst achieved complete PET depolymerization at 30 °C, yielding 4.95 mM terephthalic acid (TPA) when tested on a PET film. Furthermore, we showed improved PET depolymerization ability by binding FAST-PETase at multiple sites on the scaffoldin. The whole cells had the added advantage of retained activity over multiple reusability cycles. This breakthrough in complete PET depolymerization marks a step toward a circular plastic economy.</p>","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"12 4","pages":"419–424 419–424"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.1021/acs.estlett.5c00190","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143790272","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}
