Summary: Anaerobic oxidation of methane coupled with nitrous oxide reduction occurs in paddy soil, with electron shuttles stimulating the process and leading to the conversion of approximately 60% of methane into soil organic matter. The results suggest that electron shuttles play a key role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing organic matter in paddy soils.

Summary: Biochar application to soil is a promising tool for sequestering carbon, ensuring food security, and mitigating greenhouse gases and emissions of nitrous oxide and nitric oxide. However, limited research has been conducted on the long-term and practical effects of repeatedly amending biochar to soil. A three-year field experiment showed that biochar application significantly decreased methane, nitrous oxide, and nitric oxide emissions without hindering crop yield or mitigation of other greenhouse gases and nitrogen oxides.

Summary: Modified biochars, such as sodium ferrate-modified biochar (Fe@C), have been found to effectively reduce methane and nitrous oxide emissions in paddy fields, leading to increased rice yields and organic carbon content in soil. The use of sodium ferrate alone also significantly reduced N2O emissions. The results suggest that Fe@C could be a promising management measure for enhancing soil carbon content and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Summary: The study found that the Chinese milk vetch-rice-sweet potato parallel to soybean cropping system significantly reduces CH4 emissions but increases N2O emissions. Paddy-upland rotation decreases soil CH4 emissions but increases N2O emissions. The interaction between Chinese milk vetch incorporation and paddy-upland rotation enhances N2O emissions and soil nitrate content.

Summary: This study estimated the potential contributions of various electron donors to denitrification in paddy soil during the flooding-drying process. The results showed that autotrophic denitrification driven by Fe2+ and Mn(2+) was the main mechanism for gaseous N-loss during the first phase of drying, while other electron donors, including organic matter, were the major contributors for denitrification in the second phase.

Summary: This study assessed the greenhouse gas emissions from rice fields amended with composted two-phase olive mill waste (C-TPOW) in Mediterranean conditions. The results showed that compost reduced CO2 emissions but increased CH4 and N2O emissions. However, there were no significant differences in global warming potential (GWP) and yield-scaled GWP between the compost and control treatments after three years.

Summary: The conversion from rice paddies to rice-crayfish co-culture systems in southeast China significantly reduces methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions by 14% and 31% respectively. The crayfish ditched culture areas contribute three times higher CH4 fluxes and 50% lower N2O fluxes compared to rice planted areas in the co-culture systems. This research highlights the potential benefits of the conversion in terms of low greenhouse gas emissions and high ecosystem economic profits.

Summary: The combined application of green manure and inorganic fertilizer can increase CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions, as well as grain yield. The effects of this practice on greenhouse gas emissions and yield are influenced by initial soil conditions, green manure application methods, and timing. Green manure substitutes for inorganic fertilizer can increase GWP and yield in areas with high initial soil pH and low C:N ratios.

Summary: Unconventional oil and natural gas development (UOGD) in the United States has expanded rapidly in recent decades, raising concerns about its impact on air quality. This study conducted extensive air monitoring during the development of several large well pads in Broomfield, Colorado, providing a unique opportunity to examine changes in local air toxics and VOC concentrations during well drilling and completions and production. The study identified significant increases in VOC concentrations during drilling operations, highlighting the importance of emissions from synthetic drilling mud. The findings suggest opportunities to mitigate emissions during UOGD operations.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) air pollution levels and their disparities in California, U.S. during the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The results showed a decrease in NO2 concentrations, especially in urban and high-traffic areas. However, socially vulnerable populations still experienced higher levels of NO2 exposure. The study suggests that reducing NO2 disparities, particularly racial inequity, can be achieved through continued regulatory actions targeting traffic-related NOx emissions.

Summary: This study investigates the chemical composition and oxidative potential of PM10 particles in the Po Valley, Italy, and demonstrates the impact of high levels of atmosphere ammonia. The rural area had significantly higher ammonia concentrations compared to the urban site, resulting in higher levels of secondary inorganic aerosol. Although the SIA components did not contribute significantly to the PM10 oxidative reactivity, they were correlated with the oxidative potential measurements. This suggests that the contribution of SIA to PM oxidative toxicity cannot be ignored.

Summary: Accurate measurement of atmospheric reactive mercury is challenging due to its reactivity and low concentrations. The University of Nevada, Reno Reactive Mercury Active System (RMAS) has been shown to be more accurate than the industry standard, but has limitations including long time resolution and sampling biases. Increasing the sampling flow rate negatively affected RM concentrations, but did not impact the chemical composition of RM captured on membranes.

Summary: This study estimated the daily exposure concentrations of PM2.5 for elderly individuals residing in different regions of Taiwan using land use regression with machine learning (LUR_ML) and microenvironmental exposure (ME) models. The accuracy of the models varied across regions, with the ME models exhibiting higher predictions and lower biases. The use of region-specific microenvironmental measurements in the ME model showed potential for accurate prediction of personal PM2.5 exposure.

Summary: This study developed a sensitive method to measure the metallic components of atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and compared the results with different analysis methods. The concentrations of metallic components in personal PM2.5 samples were found to be significantly different from corresponding fixed-site samples. Personal sampling can reduce exposure misclassifications, and measuring metallic components is useful for exploring health risks and identifying sources of PM2.5.

Summary: Increasing concentrations of microplastics in the Earth's atmosphere could have adverse effects on ecosystems and human health. The deposition rate of airborne microplastics is influenced by both land use and climate, and a global analysis suggests that climate may have a greater impact on the concentration and deposition rate of microplastics than land use.
