In the environment, microplastics are subjected to multiple aging processes; however, information regarding impact of on environmental behavior is still lacking. This study investigated alteration properties polystyrene and high-density polyethylene by heat-activated K2S2O8 Fenton treatments improve understanding their long-term natural in aquatic environments. Our results indicated that O/C ratio was an alternative parameter carbonyl index (CI) quantitatively describe surface microplastics....

We investigated the photoaging of polypropylene (PP) microplastics (MPs) in lake water. The results showed that PP MPs was significantly inhibited water compared with ultrapure after 12 d ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, and humic acid fulvic acid, rather than carbonate (CO32–), nitrate (NO3–), or chloride (Cl–) ions, were identified as primary contributors to observed inhibition. Mechanisms for roles (Suwannee River acid) (Pony Lake reducing rates photodegradation acted both reactive oxygen...

Polyurethane (PU) synthetic leathers possess an intricate plastic composition, including polyester (PET) base fabrics and upper PU resin, but the release of fragments from complexes is unclear. Therefore, we investigated photodegradation trends PET with coating (PET-U) as a representative composite plastics. Attention was paid to comparison photoaging process PET-U that pure fabric (PET-P). To reveal potential for chain scission, physical chemical changes (e.g., surface morphology, molecular...

Abstract Triphenyl phosphate is a high production volume organophosphate flame retardant that has been detected in multiple environmental media at increasing concentrations. The and health risks of triphenyl have drawn attention because the multiplex toxicity this chemical compound. However, few studies paid close to impacts on liver metabolism. We investigated hepatic histopathological, metabolomic transcriptomic responses zebrafish after exposure 0.050 mg/L 0.300 for 7 days. Metabolomic...

This study investigated the degradation of perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) in a reactive electrochemical membrane (REM) system which porous Magnéli phase titanium suboxide ceramic served simultaneously as anode and membrane. Near complete removal (98.30 ± 0.51%) PFOS was achieved under cross-flow filtration mode at anodic potential 3.15 V vs standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). efficiency during REM operation is much greater than that batch same potential. A systematic reaction rate analysis...

Abstract. Size-segregated (9 stages) n-alkanes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and hopanes in the urban (Baoji city inland China), mountain (Mt. Tai east coastal China) marine (Okinawa Island, Japan) atmospheres over East Asia were studied using a GC/MS technique. Ambient concentrations of n-alkanes (1698±568 ng m−3 winter 487±145 spring), PAHs (536±80 161±39 m−3), (65±24 20±2.4 m−3) air are 1–2 orders magnitude higher than those aerosols 2–3 samples. Mass ratios clearly demonstrate...

Understanding bioaccumulation and metabolism is critical for evaluating the fate potential toxicity of compounds in vivo. We recently investigated, first time, bioconcentration tissue distribution triphenyl phosphate (TPHP) its main metabolites selected tissues adult zebrafish. To further confirm metabolites, deuterated TPHP (d15-TPHP) was used exposure experiments at an environmentally relevant level (20 μg/L) 1/10 LC50 (100 μg/L). After 11–14 days to 100 μg/L d15-TPHP, accumulation...

Graphene layers are potential candidates in a large number of applications. However, little is known about their ecotoxicological risks largely as result lack quantification techniques complex environmental matrices. In this study, graphene was synthesized by means graphitization and exfoliation sandwich-like FePO4/dodecylamine hybrid nanosheets, (14)C incorporated the synthesis. (14)C-labeled spiked to artificial freshwater uptake depuration Daphnia magna were assessed. After exposure for...

The widespread occurrence of the brominated flame retardant tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) makes it a possible source concern. Our experiments suggest that TBBPA can be effectively transformed by naturally occurring laccase enzyme from Trametes versicolor. These reactions follow second-order kinetics, whereby apparent removal rate is function both substrate and concentrations. For at different initial concentrations with or without natural organic matter (NOM), reaction products are...

Goldfish (Carassius auratus) were exposed to 0–100 μg/L pentachlorophenol (PCP) for 28 days investigate the correlations of fish gut microbial community shift with induced toxicological effects. PCP exposure caused accumulation in intestinal tract a time- and dose-dependent manner, while hepatic reached maximal level after 21 day exposure. Under relatively higher stress, body weight liver reduced CAT SOD activities inhibited, demonstrating negative levels content (R < −0.5 P 0.05 each)....

The exciting commercial application potential of graphene materials may inevitably lead to their increasing release into the environment where they pose ecological risks. This study focused on using carbon-14-labeled few-layer (FLG) determine whether size plays a role in its uptake, depuration, and biodistribution adult zebrafish. After 48 h exposure larger FLG (L-FLG) at 250 μg/L, amount organism was close mg/kg fish dry mass, which more than 170-fold greater body burden those exposed same...
