Abstract:
... Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are typical semi-volatile chemicals (SVOCs) that have been used in copious quantities in indoor material additives. SVOCs distribute dynamically between the gas phase and various condensate phases, especially organic films. Investigating the dynamic behaviors of existing CPs in indoor environments is necessary for understanding their potential risk to humans from indoor ...

Abstract:
... Emission inventory plays an important role in designing effective emission control strategies. Currently, there is unbalanced development of CO₂ and air pollutant emission inventories in China and the spatial information of both cannot be obtained simultaneously, which prevents a collaborative control strategy. In this study, we developed a unified emission inventory including both CO₂ and air pol ...

Abstract:
... This work aims to map and assess the recreational culture ecosystem services (CES) supply and demand in Vilnius. A novel framework individually assessed natural recreational CES supply and cultural recreational CES supply dimensions. So far, the previous works did not consider both CES components individually. Also, the validation of CES models is scarce and challenging. This work aims to map and ...

Abstract:
... The methanol-to-olefin (MTO) process is commercialized worldwide, yet the understanding of in-furnace phenomena is still lacking. Accordingly, this work explores the multiphase flow and thermochemical characteristics in a commercial-scale MTO fluidized bed reactor using a three-dimensional multiphase particle-in-cell model. After model validations, the intrinsic relationship of solid transportatio ...
... Tylosin (TYL) is a ubiquitous macrolide antibiotic which has been frequently detected in natural aqueous environment. Montmorillonite (MMT), a major component of natural suspended particles, plays essential roles in the transportation and transformation processes of various organic contaminants. This study systematically investigated the photodegradation behavior and mechanism of TYL in MMT suspen ...

Abstract:
... Co-exposure to heavy metal and antibiotic pollution might result in complexation and synergistic interactions, affecting rice growth and further exacerbating pollutant enrichment. Therefore, our study sought to clarify the influence of different Tetracycline (TC) and Cadmium(Cd) concentration ratios (both alone and combined) on rice growth, pollutant accumulation, and transportation during the til ...

Abstract:
... Mechanical damage caused by vibration during transportation can destroy organization structure and reduce the fruit quality. The objective was to reveal the mechanism of hypobaric treatment on energy metabolism in vibration-injured 'Huangguan' pears based on metabolomics. Results showed that hypobaric treatment delayed the decline of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content, energy charge (EC), H⁺-ATP ...
