In this study, we discovered amide-based precursors from an electrochemical fluorination (ECF) AFFF, specifically, N-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl)-perfluoroalkylamides (PFAAAm or AmPr-FAAd), can transform into perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFCAs) when AFFF solutions or individual PFAS were exposed to concrete. This transformation was attributed to alkaline hydrolysis driven by leaching of Ca(OH)2 from concrete, which raises the solution pH. In the same experiments, the generation of perfluoroalkyl sulfonamides (FASAs) was also observed, but their precursors remained unidentified. Meanwhile, during the validation of PFAS extraction methods from AFFF-contaminated concrete powder, PFCAs and FASAs were similarly generated during the pre-equilibration step, further confirming the occurrence of hydrolysis. Further investigations using four sulfonamide-based precursors suggested that their rapid decrease in aqueous concentration was likely due to low solubility and sorption to container walls and concrete powder, rather than chemical transformation, which suggests the relatively high stability of these perfluoroalkyl sulfonamide precursors. The exact precursors to FASAs remain unresolved, highlighting the need for research into PFAS behavior in concrete.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"12 6","pages":"747–753 747–753"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144238816","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}

Application of the Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer (FT-ICR MS) has expanded dramatically for the molecular characterization of DOM in various research communities. However, data processing/mining on the detected tens of thousands of molecular formulas is complex. Here, we introduced a browser-based webtool (MoleTrans) for flexible and comprehensive postanalysis on a formula-assigned data set from FT-ICR MS. MoleTrans includes the classical but fundamental analysis/visualization techniques (e.g., chemodiversity, multivariate statistics, van Krevelen diagrams, formula composition plots, Kendrick Mass Defect (KMD) based homologous series analysis). Users can explore the putative molecular transformation relations in single or multiple samples using a Paired Mass Distance (PMD) network in a flexible manner (e.g., user-defined mass errors and reference transformation groups, etc.). This unique tool also supports the machine learning (ML) workflow (data processing and training models) for explaining the molecular transformation behaviors between samples (e.g., exploring the disappeared, resistant, and newly appeared formulas during the transformation). Therefore, MoleTrans provides the opportunity to unravel the molecular fingerprint in DOM mixtures in a comprehensive, flexible, and reproducible way.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"12 6","pages":"725–730 725–730"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144239052","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}

Several countries and U.S. states have banned or restricted the use of these chemicals due to carcinogenicity and other health concerns. However, the prevalence of these chemicals in PCPs used by the public, particularly by Black women and Latinas, remains poorly documented. We examined the prevalence of formaldehyde and FRPs listed as ingredients on PCPs from the Taking Stock Study (TSS), a community-engaged study in which 70 Black women and Latinas in South Los Angeles logged their PCP use with a smartphone application. We contextualized our results using EPA’s Chemical and Products Database (CPDat), a public ingredient database. More than half of the TSS participants (53%) reported using at least one PCP with formaldehyde or FRPs despite only 4% of TSS PCPs and 8% of CPDat PCPs listing formaldehyde and/or FRPs as ingredients. We found formaldehyde and FRPs listed in frequently used products such as lotions and cleansers. The most common FRP was 1,3-dimethylol-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DMDM) hydantoin. These results could inform the types of regulations needed to protect the U.S. population from adverse health risks due to formaldehyde exposure from PCP use.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"12 9","pages":"1205–1210"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acs.estlett.5c00242","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145009597","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 complexation of Sb with organic ligands has been reported to be a detoxification mechanism utilized by higher plants. However, the speciation of Sb complexes and their roles in microorganisms remain largely unexplored. In this study, we investigated the speciation of Sb in two model cyanobacteria, Nostoc sp. PCC 7120 and Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, exposed to antimonite using high-resolution mass spectrometry techniques including Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry, HPLC-ESI-Orbitrap-MS, and HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS. Combining the newly developed software FindSbPeak v1.0, we identified a variety of Sb-oxo organic complexes including Sb-glycerol complexes (C6H14O8Sb– and C9H18O9Sb– with stoichiometries of 1:2 and 1:3) and Sb-glucosylglycerol complexes (C9H18O11Sb– and C18H34O18Sb– with stoichiometries of 1:1 and 1:2), which have not been reported previously. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the complexation of Sb with multihydroxyl molecules via bidentate configuration is thermodynamically favorable. Our results unraveled the overlooked Sb-oxo organic complexes in biological systems and raised new questions regarding their toxic effects.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"12 6","pages":"718–724 718–724"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144239008","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}
