Summary: In this study, the hydrophilicity and narrow micropore structure of ZSM-5 zeolite were improved by assembling pure silica mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-41 on its surface. The adsorption-desorption behaviors of the resulting ZSM-5/MCM-41 composites were investigated for VOCs, and it was found that the hydrophobicity and VOC diffusion behaviors of the composites were significantly improved. The results showed that the SARs of the ZSM-5 precursors played a crucial role in the adsorption performance of the composites.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the transport properties and CBZ adsorption capacities of PES/mesoparticles-based MMMs in aqueous solutions with different physicochemical characteristics. The results show that PES/SH-MCM-41-based MMMs have the highest potential for CBZ adsorption. The multivariate design results indicate that contact time, initial CBZ concentration, and the amount of SH-MCM-41 incorporated in MMM significantly influence the adsorption capacity, while pH does not affect it. Water permeability tests show a correlation between the H2O permeability and the porosity of the synthesized membranes. PES/SH-MCM-41-based MMMs exhibit high porosity and good ability to remove CBZ from water, regardless of the pH of the aqueous solutions.

Summary: Selective oxidation of terpenes using a Mo((VI))Cl(2)O(2)Bipy/TiO2-NT catalyst under photo-assisted conditions was successful, leading to high selectivities in producing epoxides from monoterpenes. The chiral center in limonene was found to govern the formation of diastereoisomers during the reaction process, indicating stereoselectivity of the catalyst. Additionally, the Mo((VI))Cl(2)O(2)Bipy/TiO2-NT catalyst demonstrated high stability under the reaction conditions, as shown by recycling studies.

Summary: The study investigated the adsorption of U(VI) from natural mine water using sorbents modified by NH2 organic moieties in packed columns, finding that amine-functionalized SBA-15 was effective for U(VI) removal. Results showed that mesostructuration did not play a significant role in adsorption capacity, and the density of amine functional groups was crucial. Additionally, competitor ions such as Ca2+ and HCO3- were found to have a negative impact on U(VI) species adsorption on amino modified silica.

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.
