Glycerol was used as a versatile and biocompatible liquid storage medium which requires no further exogenous dispersing agent and maintained colloidal stability, sterility (0 CFU/mL), and low endotoxin levels (< 0.1 EU/mL) for more than one year of storage at room temperature. Further, the glycerol vehicle showed no biological effect on the tested human bronchial cell line Calu-3 up to 0.8% (w/v). Given the concentration of 40 mg/g nanoplastics in the glycerol stock, this corresponds to a nanoplastic concentration of 320 µg/mL.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the QCNF derived from the four biomass sources displayed a three-dimensional network structure, with each displaying distinct fiber morphologies. The QCNF derived from coffee grounds exhibited a flaky structure, the QCNF derived from corncob displayed short, rod-like fibers, and the QCNF derived from rice straw and rape straw showed chain-like structures, with rice straw fibers appearing particularly attenuated. The results indicate significant variation in the flocculation efficiency of QCNF derived from different bio-sources. QCNF prepared from rice straw exhibited the highest flocculation efficiency, achieving a removal rate of 90.6%.

Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether change in intestinal barrier function during transgenerational process affects the induction of nanoplastic toxicity. In the current study, polystyrene nanoparticle (PS-NP) was used as an example of nanoplastics. PS-NP (1 and 10 μg/L) caused transgenerational toxicity on locomotion behavior, brood size, and intestinal permeability. After exposure to PS-NP (1 and 10 μg/L) at P0-G, PS-NP accumulation was only observed at both P0-G and F1-G. RNA interference (RNAi) of acs-22 caused enhanced intestinal permeability, and PS-NP (10 μg/L) induced suppression in acs-22 expression from P0-G to F3-G. After RNAi of acs-22 at P0-G and F1-G, transgenerational toxicity of PS-NP (10 μg/L) was prolonged by more than two generations, and transgenerational PS-NP accumulation was prolonged till to F2-G. After RNAi of acs-22 at F2-G, transgenerational toxicity of PS-NP (10 μg/L) could be extended by more than two generations. Moreover, RNAi of acs-22 at F4-G caused extension of transgenerational PS-NP (10 μg/L) toxicity till to F5-G. Therefore, transgenerational toxicity of nanoplastics can be affected by disrupted intestinal barrier function induced by acs-22 RNAi during transgenerational process in organisms.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143703310","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}

The present study investigated the effects of root exposure to nHAs (20 nm-nHA, 60 nm-nHA, 1% Cu-nHA, and 10% Cu-nHA) at 50 mg/kg on the growth and development of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings for 50 days. Compared with the control, different types of 50 mg/kg nHA increased the biomass of seedlings by 10.7%-30.9%; for example, 20 nHA significantly increased the fresh weight of the two plant species by 17.2% and 29.2%, respectively. Additionally, 20 nm-nHA and 1% Cu-nHA altered the diversity of plant endophytic microbial communities and increased the abundance of plant-associated beneficial microorganisms, including Glomeromycotina, Funneliformis, and Blastocladiomycota. Transcriptomic analysis suggests that 20 nm-nHA and 1%Cu-nHA induced transcriptional reprogramming in exposed seedlings. KEGG pathway analysis shows that root exposure to 20 nm-nHA and 1% Cu-nHA promoted plant hormone signal transduction pathways in both tomato and rice roots; and, 1% Cu-nHA promoted photosynthesis and amino acid metabolism.

In spite of the availability of different radiometric techniques, the limiting factor today is the dearth of efficient separation materials to prepare samples for radiometric analysis directly from environmental samples. We herein demonstrate the potential of methyl functionalized aluminosilicate nanotubes (commonly known as methyl imogolite or Imo-CH3) for sequestering uranium and plutonium ions by arresting them from dilute aqueous solution in the form of insoluble hydroxides at alkaline condition, which subsequently form an optically transparent thin film on microporous PES membrane upon syringe filtration. Contrary to the individual counterparts, the PES-Imo-CH3 composite has been found to show a unique α-scintillation property in the presence of the arrested actinides, which has been used for gross α-radioactivity estimation at sub-Becquerel levels with a limit of detection 2.5 mBq.mL-1. The interaction and energy loss characteristics of α-particles in the PES-Imo-CH3 composite has been simulated by Monte Carlo method, which suggests the observed scintillation to be a result of indirect excitation of the Imo-CH3 nanotubes via a non-radiative energy transfer pathway. The PES-Imo-CH3 composite, used for gross scintillation counting, has also been demonstrated as a potential α-spectrometry platform, thus reducing the sample preparation steps and minimizing the nuclear forensic analysis timeline. The actinide sequestration efficiency of the nanotubes has been found to be 97.2 ± 1.2% for U and 99.5 ± 8.2% for Pu within the studied range of radioactivity concentrations with negligible selectivity between actinide elements, making it particularly unique for nuclear forensic applications where preserving the isotopic and elemental ratio is a key requirement.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143677819","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}

Mineral carbonation of MgO presents itself as a promising solution due to its considerable theoretical capacity for CO2 adsorption. However, the sluggish kinetics of the carbonation process pose a significant challenge. Consequently, a comprehensive understanding of the structural and chemical alterations occurring during carbonation is imperative for material design. In this study, we conduct a thorough structural and chemical investigation of the MgO (sourced from different mine tailings) carbonation process using electron microscopic techniques. Our findings demonstrate that treating MgO with polar solvents enhances its degree of carbonation significantly, offering a promising avenue for improvement. Moreover, we observe a particle size dependency in MgO carbonation and note that the inclusion of additional materials, such as Si-based compounds, further accelerates the carbonation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide insight into surface functionalization as a result of solvent treatment and its mechanistic effect on the origin of the enhanced carbonation of polar solvent-treated MgO, revealing a stronger interaction between CO2 and the treated MgO (100) surface as compared to the non-polar solvent treated surfaces. These discoveries showcase an alternative approach for enhancing MgO carbonation, thereby offering a potential method for sequestering atmospheric CO2 more effectively using mine waste rich in MgO.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"123 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143677817","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}

However, current understanding is insufficient to explain the physiological response mechanisms of metabolically abnormal fish exposed to secondary pollutants in complex natural environments. This study established a fish model with non-alcoholic fatty liver to evaluate the effects of Zn oxide nanoparticles (nZnO) and Zn²⁺ on physiological metabolism using untargeted lipidomics and bioimaging techniques. Nile red and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining indicated that increased Zn levels reduced the number of lipid droplets (LDs) and hepatocyte vacuolization in the livers of groupers. Non-targeted lipidomics, employing an unsupervised K-means clustering algorithm, identified key lipid profiles that differentiated the effects of nZnO and Zn, including TG (16:0/16:1/18:1), PC (18:2/22:6), TG (18:2/18:2/22:6), SM (d18:1/24:1), and TG (16:1/18:1/18:2). The increased content of SM (d18:1/24:0) indicated that fish liver cells internalized nZnO via lipid raft structures on the cell membrane, a process distinct from Zn ion uptake. Moreover, nZnO/Zn treatments significantly activated lipolysis regulation in fish liver experiencing oxidative stress. This study contributed to the use of non-targeted lipidomics to identify differential biomarkers of nZnO and Zn, as well as their compensatory mechanisms in metabolically abnormal fish.

Despite the exploration of various adsorbents for iodine capture, many exhibit limitations such as low adsorption capacities, poor performance, and limited reusability. Therefore, novel materials with enhanced iodine extraction capabilities are needed. Polymer-based adsorbents offer substantial promise due to their unique chemical structures and rich functional groups. Via nucleophilic substitution of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) with various amines, five polyphosphazene polymers—PDD-HCCP, BDP-HCCP, BDD-HCCP, TAPA-HCCP, and TAPDA-HCCP—were synthesized in this study.. These polymers exhibited excellent iodine adsorption capacity, with TAPDA-HCCP achieving the highest theoretical capacity in both iodine vapor and aqueous phases (I₂: 7.83 g·g⁻¹, CH₃I: 1.26 g·g⁻¹, Iodine water: 3.69 g·g⁻¹, iodine cyclohexane: 1.15 g·g⁻¹). In aqueous iodine adsorption experiments, the kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model, indicating chemical adsorption as the dominant mechanism. Specifically, equilibrium was reached within 240 min, with PDD-HCCP and TAPDA-HCCP achieving iodine removal efficiencies greater than 90%. The adsorption isotherms fitted the Langmuir model, suggesting monolayer adsorption. FT-IR and XPS analyses confirmed that the -NH, P=N-P, and sp³ N groups play a crucial role in forming charge-transfer complexes with iodine. These results highlight the potential of polyphosphazene-based adsorbents for efficient iodine capture in environmental applications.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143666603","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}
