The wide use and continuous abrasion of rubber-related products appears to be leading an incredible release p-phenylenediamine (PPD) antioxidants in the environment. However, no related research has been conducted on pollution characteristics potential health risks PM2.5-bound PPDs. We report for first time ubiquitous distributions six emerging PPDs a quinone derivative, N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPDQ), PM2.5 from urban areas China. Atmospheric contamination levels...

Abstract. Nitrate aerosol makes up a significant fraction of fine particles and plays key role in regional air quality climate. The North China Plain (NCP) is one the most industrialized polluted regions China. To obtain holistic understanding nitrate pollution its formation mechanisms over NCP region, intensive field observations were conducted at three sites during summertime 2014–2015. measurement include an urban site downtown Jinan – capital city Shandong Province –, rural downwind...

Northern China is regularly subjected to intense wintertime "haze events", with high levels of fine particles that threaten millions inhabitants. While sulfate a known major component these haze particles, its formation mechanism remains unclear especially under highly polluted conditions, state-of-the-art air quality models unable reproduce or predict field observations. These conditions are generally characterized by simultaneous emissions SO2 and photosensitizing materials. In this study,...

Abstract. The chemical composition of 39 cloud samples and droplet size distributions in 24 events were investigated at the summit Mt. Tai from July to October 2014. Inorganic ions, organic acids, metals, HCHO, H2O2, sulfur(IV), carbon, elemental carbon as well pH electrical conductivity analyzed. acidity water significantly decreased a reported value 3.86 during 2007–2008 (Guo et al., 2012) 5.87 present study. concentrations nitrate ammonium both increased since 2007–2008, but...

A novel pollutant, tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphate (I168O), was identified in urban fine particulate matter (PM2.5) samples a nontargeted screening based on mass spectrometry for the first time. I168O detected all collected from two typical cities far away each other China. The concentrations of reached up to 851 (median: 153) ng/m3, indicating that it widespread and abundant pollutant air. antioxidant Irgafos 168 [I168, tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphite] popularly added plastics...

Abstract. Bacteria are widely distributed in atmospheric aerosols and indispensable components of clouds, playing an important role the hydrological cycle. However, limited information is available about bacterial community structure function, especially for increasing air pollution North China Plain. Here, we present a comprehensive characterization composition, variation, environmental influence cloud water collected at Mt Tai from 24 July to 23 August 2014. Using Miseq 16S rRNA gene...

Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are contaminants ubiquitously detected in environmental samples, and reports addressing CPs human samples expanding. While CP exposure was suggested to impair kidney function by vivo/in vitro experiments, epidemiological evidence is lacking. To examine the associations between serum total short-chain medium-chain concentrations (∑SCCPs ∑MCCPs) with function. The study were obtained from 387 participants living Jinan, North China. We quantified ∑SCCPs ∑MCCPs...

Abstract. Fungi are ubiquitous throughout the near-surface atmosphere, where they represent an important component of primary biological aerosol particles. This study combined internal transcribed spacer region sequencing and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to investigate ambient fungi in fine (PM2. 5, 50 % cutoff aerodynamic diameter Da50 = 2.5 µm, geometric standard deviation collection efficiency σg 1.2) submicron (PM1, 1 particles at summit Mt. Tai located North...

Despite substantial research to profile the microbial characteristics in atmosphere, changing metabolism underpinning successional dynamics remains ambiguous. Herein, we applied qPCR, high-throughput sequencing of genes encoding 16S and ITS rRNA render bacterial/fungal ambient PM2.5 filters maintained at constant conditions temperature (20 ± 2 °C) humidity (50 5%). The incubation experiments which lasted for 50 days aim simulate a metabolic process microbe two types (polluted non-polluted)....
