Article Synopsis
- The study examines the behavior of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in the marine air boundary layer (MABL) during Arctic and Antarctic expeditions, revealing a global concentration gradient dominated by low molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
- Currently used pesticides (CUPs) have overtaken legacy organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) as the main pollutants, despite efforts to curb emissions, leading to an increase of SVOCs in polar regions.
- The research highlights how the Westerlies affect global transport and redistribution of SVOCs, emphasizing the importance of air-seawater exchanges and ocean currents in these dynamics.
Article Synopsis
- Current metagenomic tools struggle to identify highly divergent RNA viruses, prompting the development of a deep learning algorithm called LucaProt to improve detection in diverse ecosystems.
- LucaProt combines sequence and structural data to identify a significant number of RNA virus sequences, uncovering 161,979 potential species and 180 supergroups, including some with long and complex genomes.
- The study not only confirmed some of these novel RNA viruses but also demonstrated their presence across various environments, showcasing the vast diversity of RNA viruses and enhancing our understanding and documentation of the global RNA virome.
Endosulfan I, II, and sulfate were detected in the atmosphere and surface seawater on a global scale during three Chinese National Arctic-Antarctic Research Expeditions in 2016 and 2017. Concentrations of the three species displayed seasonal variations in seawater in the Northern Hemisphere but remained steadily low on Antarctic coasts. Endosulfan sulfate was predominant in the Northern Hemisphere, whereas isomer I was more abundant in the Southern Hemisphere.
