Summary: This study established a sampling station in Dinghu Mountain to investigate the dry and wet deposition of atmospheric mercury in typical forest ecosystems in Southeast China. The results showed that wet deposition was the predominant form of deposition, and its flux was positively correlated with rainfall. The main sources of atmospheric mercury were soil dust and emissions from coal and fuel.

Summary: Washout ratios and deposition velocities are important factors for fine aerosols and their impact on human health is determined by their effect on atmospheric concentration. This study used beryllium-7 (Be-7) as a tracer to estimate the total deposition flux and activity of Be-7 in the Black Sea region from 2011 to 2013. The washout ratio and deposition velocity of fine aerosol particles were derived from these data. The results showed that precipitation amount and frequency influenced the seasonal variability of deposition velocity, while the washout ratio was only controlled by precipitation amount. The findings allowed for parameterizations to estimate the monthly mean values of washout ratio and deposition velocity based on monthly precipitation data.

Summary: Dry deposition can partially explain the changes in ambient ozone during extreme hot and dry episodes. The response of ozone deposition to heat and dry anomalies shows that the increase in non-stomatal conductance may offset the decrease in stomatal conductance, resulting in a smaller net reduction or even net increase in total deposition velocity.

Summary: The dry deposition process refers to the loss of atmospheric pollutants through uptake by the earth's surfaces. This study generated a database of dry deposition velocities (V-d) for 45 gaseous species and three particle size ranges over a two-year period in North America. The results showed variations in V-d values among different chemical species, with soluble species having the highest V-d over water surfaces and insoluble but reactive species having the highest V-d over forests.

Summary: Depositions of trace elements of air particulates in the atmosphere have been studied, and the impacts of dry deposition flux and Saharan dust intrusion on elemental concentrations have been determined. The concentrations of trace elements in rural and urban particulate matter were characterized, and dry deposition fluxes were found to be higher in coarse particulate matter compared to fine particulate matter. Additionally, the modeling analysis showed that the highest daily surface dust concentration was observed in the central and south-west of Turkey during the peak period of Saharan dust transport in March.

Summary: This study investigates the correlation between atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and urinary PAH metabolite levels, finding a positive relationship between the two. The results suggest that higher air pollution levels can lead to increased internal PAH exposure in the general population. Therefore, implementing strict regulations on PAH emissions can reduce the health risks associated with PAH exposure.

Summary: This study aims to calculate the concentrations, identify the sources, and assess the health risks of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in atmospheric particles. The results indicate that the major source of PAHs is pyrogenic activities, and the health risks for all age groups are relatively low to moderate. Adults and adolescents living in the urban area of Kuala Lumpur are at the highest risk for respiratory health problems due to prolonged exposure to PAHs in PM10 and PM2.5.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic exposure to PM induces chronic inflammation and development of COPD by dysregulating NAD+ metabolism and subsequent SIRT1 deficiency in pulmonary macrophages. Activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol effectively mitigates PM-induced inflammation and COPD development. Targeting metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming in macrophages induced by PM is a promising strategy for COPD treatment.

Summary: Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems poses a growing concern due to its trophic transfer and negative effects on marine organisms. This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.

Summary: This study measured the levels of phthalate metabolites in breast milk collected from mothers in southern China. The results showed that phthalates are still prevalent in the region, and breastfeeding contributes to phthalate intake in infants. However, the levels detected do not pose significant health risks to infants based on dietary exposure. The increasing exposure to certain phthalates calls for further research into their sources and potential risks.

Summary: Ocean depth affects microbial diversity, composition, and co-occurrence patterns of microplastic microbial communities. Deterministic processes dominate the assembly of mesopelagic plastisphere microbial communities, while stochastic processes shape the assembly of bathypelagic microbial communities. The relationships between microorganisms in the mesopelagic layer are more complex and stable, with Proteobacteria and Actinobacteriota playing important roles.
