Abstract. Multiphase chemistry occurs between chemicals in different atmospheric phases, typically involving gas–solid and gas–liquid interactions. The importance of multiphase has long been recognized. Its central role extends from acid precipitation stratospheric ozone depletion to its impact on the oxidizing capacity troposphere roles that aerosol particles play driving chemistry–climate interactions affecting human health. This opinion article briefly introduces subject tracks development before after start Atmospheric Chemistry Physics. Most focuses research opportunities challenges field. Central themes are a fundamental understanding at molecular level underpins ability accurately predict environmental change discipline is strongest when tightly connected modeling field observations.

The mechanism and kinetics of reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation when atmospheric secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is exposed to solar radiation are poorly understood. In this study, we combined an in situ UV–vis irradiation system with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy characterize the photolytic ROS aqueous extracts SOA formed by oxidation isoprene, α-pinene, α-terpineol, toluene. We observed substantial free radicals, including •OH, superoxide (HO2•), radicals (R•/RO•) upon irradiation. Compared dark conditions, radical yield was enhanced a factor ∼30 for •OH 2–10 emergence radicals. Total peroxide measurements showed decreases contents after photoirradiation, indicating that peroxides can be important source A liquid chromatography interfaced high-resolution mass spectrometry used detect number form adducts spin trap, BMPO. types detected photolysis model compounds indicated carbonyls Norrish type I mechanisms plays role formation. serves as driving force cloud fog processing SOA.

Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with millions of premature deaths annually. Oxidative stress through overproduction reactive oxygen species (ROS) a possible mechanism for PM2.5-induced health effects. Organic aerosol (OA) dominant component PM2.5 worldwide, yet its role in toxicity poorly understood due chemical complexity. Here, integrated cellular ROS measurements and detailed multi-instrument characterization PM urban southeastern United States, we show that oxygenated OA (OOA), especially more-oxidized OOA, the main type production. We further reveal highly unsaturated containing carbon–oxygen double bonds aromatic rings OOA are major contributors These results highlight key features driving toxicity. As ubiquitous abundant atmosphere, this emphasizes need understand sources processing when formulating effective strategies mitigate impacts.

Endogenous Nitric Oxide Can Enhance Oxidative Stress Caused by Air Pollutants and Explain Higher Susceptibility of Individuals with Inflammatory Disorders

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 58(4), С. 1823 - 1831

Опубликована: Янв. 18, 2024

Air pollution causes morbidity and excess mortality. In the epithelial lining fluid of respiratory tract, air pollutants trigger a chemical reaction sequence that formation noxious hydroxyl radicals drive oxidative stress. For hitherto unknown reasons, individuals with pre-existing inflammatory disorders are particularly susceptible to pollution. Through detailed multiphase kinetic analysis, we show commonly elevated concentrations endogenous nitric oxide in diseased can increase production via peroxynitrite formation. Our findings offer molecular rationale how adverse health effects stress caused by may be exacerbated disorders.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants and have been implicated in adverse health outcomes. In this study, concentrations of 11 VOC metabolites (mVOCs) three oxidative stress biomarkers (8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-guanosine, dityrosine) were determined 205 urine samples collected from 12 cities across mainland China. Urinary ∑11mVOC ranged 498 to 1660 ng/mL, with a geometric mean (GM) value 1070 ng/mL. The factorial analysis revealed that cooking, solvents, vehicle emissions the primary sources exposure. A significant regional variation was clearly found four regions China, high North South China (GM: 1450 1340 ng/mL). multiple linear regression model most mVOCs significantly positively correlated markers (β range: 0.06–0.22). Mixture effect showed isoprene, crotonaldehyde, acrolein, benzene strongest contributors stress. Approximately 80% participants HQ values greater than 1.0 for 1,3-butadiene benzene, suggesting their exposure doses close potential effects.

Tumour-Associated Macrophages (TAMs) are one of the pivotal components tumour microenvironment. Their roles in cancer immunity complicated, both pro-tumour and anti-cancer activities reported, including not only angiogenesis, extracellular matrix remodeling, immunosuppression, drug resistance but also phagocytosis regression. Interestingly, TAMs highly dynamic versatile solid tumours. They show or activities, interplay between microenvironment stem cells under specific conditions. In addition to classic M1/M2 phenotypes, a number novel dedifferentiation phenomena discovered due advanced single-cell technology, e.g., macrophage-myofibroblast transition (MMT) macrophage-neuron (MNT).
