The simultaneous adsorption behavior and competitive interactions between As(III), As(V), Sb(III) and Sb(V) by ferrihydrite were evaluated in multi-component (binary, ternary, quaternary) systems. In binary systems, Sb(III) had a stronger inhibitory influence on As(III) adsorption than Sb(V) did, and As(V) had a stronger inhibitory effect on Sb(V) adsorption than As(III) did. In ternary systems, NO3-, PO43- and SO42- did not compete with the adsorption of As(III) and Sb(III). NO3- and SO42- also had no distinct effect on the adsorption of As(V) and Sb(V), while PO43- competed with As(V) and Sb(V) for surface sites. In quaternary systems, the simultaneous adsorption behavior of the four redox species was pH dependent. Sb(III) always showed the strongest adsorption affinity regardless of pH. At pH 3.5 As(III) showed the lowest affinity could be due to the presence and negative effect of Sb(lll) and As(V). The Freundlich model provided a good fit for the simultaneous adsorption data under quaternary conditions. The study of competitive/simultaneous adsorption of the four possible redox species onto ferrihydrite contributed to a better understanding of their distribution, mobility and fate in the environment.

Hydrothermal flux and porewater geochemistry in Paleochori Bay, Milos, Greece

A. Khimasia, C. E. Renshaw, R. E. Price, T. Pichler

Summary: The study found that the porewaters in Paleochori Bay can be separated into two distinct groups with different chemical characteristics, where high-Cl fluids are enriched in certain elements and low-Cl fluids are enriched in others. Isotope analyses indicate a seawater origin for the fluids with influences from meteoric water and arc magmatic water. High-resolution sampling and GPS coordinates helped determine the discharge patterns of different fluid types in the bay.

Optimization and assessment of a sequential extraction procedure for calcium carbonate rocks

Janin Scheplitz, Sarah Koopmann, Henning Frollje, Thomas Pichler

Summary: Sequential extraction was adjusted by increasing reagent to sample ratios to successfully extract manganese associated with carbonate phase in high-CaCO3 samples without compromising the extraction of other sedimentary phases. Replacing Na-acetate with NH4-acetate showed increased intensities for trace metals during analysis by ICP-OES due to less suppression of the analyte signal.

Summary: Nine groundwater bodies in northwestern Germany had high cadmium concentrations above 0.5 mu g/l, mainly due to inputs from phosphate fertilizers and atmospheric deposition. Studies revealed a significant correlation between cadmium and nitrate plus acidification in agriculture-intensive areas, where cadmium background levels could be used to re-evaluate the chemical status of groundwater bodies.

Molybdenum Release Triggered by Dolomite Dissolution: Experimental Evidence and Conceptual Model

Sarah Koopmann, Henning Prommer, Thomas Pichler

Summary: This study investigates the release of molybdenum (Mo) in dolomitic aquifers during managed aquifer recharge (MAR). The findings suggest that Mo is associated with easily soluble sulfurized organic matter present in intercrystalline spaces of dolomites or directly incorporated within dolomite crystals. The injection of oxygenated water causes the oxidation of pyrite and dissolution of dolomite, leading to the release of Mo.

Molybdenum Mobility During Managed Aquifer Recharge in Carbonate Aquifers

Sarah Koopmann, Henning Prommer, Adam Siade, Thomas Pichler

Summary: The mobility of molybdenum in groundwater systems has been studied using a comprehensive hydrochemical dataset collected during a multi-cycle aquifer storage and recovery test. It was found that the initial mobilization of molybdenum occurs through a series of reactions, involving pyrite oxidation, dolomite dissolution, and the release of molybdenum bound to soluble sulfurized organic matter. Once released, molybdenum mobility is primarily controlled by pH-dependent surface complexation reactions and the capture by iron sulfides.

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.

Phthalate metabolites in breast milk from mothers in Southern China: Occurrence, temporal trends, daily intake, and risk assessment

Yangyang Liu, Minhua Xiao, Kaiqin Huang, Juntao Cui, Hongli Liu, Yingxin Yu, Shengtao Ma, Xihong Liu, Meiqing Lin

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.
