Summary: Over the period from 2009 to 2018, China has seen a high number of hazardous chemical leakage accidents, particularly in coastal areas and industrial parks, resulting in a significant number of fatalities. Accidents in pipeline transportation are most likely to cause regional evacuations, with fuel gas and ammonia leaks being the main hazardous chemicals leading to evacuations.

Summary: This research analyzed 101 chemical accidents to identify 21 groups of significant associations, showing how manifestations at the upper level of HFACS predict the adjacent lower level manifestations. The study presented various potential failure paths for chemical accidents, which require more attention in developing future preventive measures. This work provides a new perspective and theoretical basis for preventing chemical accidents.

Summary: Deep learning is investigated for predicting quantum mechanical (QM) descriptors in order to enable the usage of near-QM accuracy electronic properties on large molecular data sets. By extending the QM9 data set and using deep learning models and ANI-2x models, it is possible to reasonably estimate 11 out of 12 ground-state properties on larger and more diverse molecules, and to improve the performance of graph convolutional neural network (GCNN) models for selected ADME end points.

Summary: This paper is based on the data of 115 yachting tourism accidents in China's coastal areas from 2008 to 2021. It identifies the risk factors of yachting tourism and constructs an evaluation index system using a fishbone diagram and the analytic hierarchy process. The dynamic evaluation model of YTSRs is built using dynamic Bayesian networks. The findings suggest that human factors are the primary risk factors, summer poses higher risks than winter, and the Pearl River Delta region has a greater risk of yachting tourism. It is recommended to improve the safety risk prevention and control system, advocate for multi-subject coordination and co-governance, and enhance the insurance service system.

Summary: Mining is one of the most hazardous industries due to unsafe working conditions. Research on mine accidents in Pakistan has been focused, but very little attention has been given to investigating and analyzing the mine accidents reporting system in the country. The study identifies that the increase in mining fatalities in Pakistan is attributed to primitive mining practices, negligence of workers, lack of resources, slackness from regulatory bodies and mine management, and a poor accident reporting mechanism. A new accident reporting tool is proposed to improve safety by holding stakeholders accountable for accidents.

Summary: Understanding the distribution of fish larvae is important for fisheries science and resource management, as it provides information on spawning areas, identifies key areas for conservation, and helps understand the impact of human activities on fish populations. However, large-scale larval records are rare, and digitizing existing data can provide valuable insights.

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.

Summary: Based on the efficiency of catalytic ozonation techniques in enhancing sludge dewaterability, this study investigated its effectiveness in simultaneous reduction of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes. The results showed that catalytic ozonation conditioning changed the distribution of antibiotics and achieved high degradation rates. It also significantly reduced the abundance of ARGs, inhibited horizontal gene transfer, and decreased the signal transduction of typical ARGs host bacteria.

Summary: This study utilized Mo powder and STPP to enhance the performance of the sodium percarbonate system in pollutant degradation. The presence of Mo and STPP resulted in a higher degradation rate of the model pollutant SMX, with low oxidant consumption. The system generated multiple active species through a series of chain reactions at different pH values, exhibiting excellent performance towards electron-rich pollutants. Furthermore, Mo demonstrated excellent stability and reusability.
