Blood levels and exhalation bag contents of FC-11 and FC-12 from dogs and humans were used to elucidate the pharmacokinetic model describing the time-course of these agents. The derived pharmacokinetic parameters were in good agreement with the physicochemical properties of these substances. The model was used to estimate the percentage of dose absorbed, which averaged 77 per cent for FC-11 and 55 per cent for FC-12, and to predict the level of FC-11 and FC-12 under a variety of conditions simulating both short- and long-term exposure to the maximum allowable concentrations of these agents. With similar doses, an 8-hour continuous exposure was estimated to produce levels of FC-11 and FC-12 that are much lower than the corresponding levels reported to induce cardiac sensitization in dogs.

Atmospheric volatile halogenated hydrocarbons in air pollution episodes in an urban area of Beijing: Characterization, health risk assessment and sources apportionment.

Volatile halogenated hydrocarbons (VHCs) have attracted wide attention in the atmospheric chemistry field since they not only affect the ecological environment but also damage human health. In order to better understand the characteristics, sources and health risks of VHCs in typical urban areas in Beijing, and also verify the achievement in implementing the Montreal Protocol (MP) in Beijing, observational studies on 22 atmospheric VHCs species were conducted during six air pollution episodes from December 2016 to May 2017. The range in daily mixing ratios of the 6 MP-regulated VHCs was 1000-1168 pptv, and the 16 MP-unregulated VHCs was 452-2961 pptv.

Article Synopsis
- Emissions of ozone-depleting CFC-11 decreased since the mid-1980s due to the Montreal Protocol, but an unexpected rise started in 2013, mainly from eastern China.
- *Researchers used atmospheric observations and models to uncover that CFC-11 emissions in this region returned to pre-2013 levels by 2019, following a notable decrease after a peak.
- *Additionally, elevated emissions of related compounds suggested ongoing CFC-11 production in eastern China post-2013, but timely actions by industry and government may have prevented significant delay in ozone layer recovery.

Porous materials are widely used in industry for applications that include chemical separations and gas scrubbing. These materials are typically porous solids, although the liquid state can be easier to manipulate in industrial settings. The idea of combining the size and shape selectivity of porous domains with the fluidity of liquids is a promising one and porous liquids composed of functionalized organic cages have recently attracted attention.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were introduced in the 1930s as the safe replacements for the toxic and flammable refrigerants being used at that time. Subsequently, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) were also developed. In addition to refrigerant applications, they were used as foam blowing agents, as solvents and as propellants for many aerosols.

The growing awareness of climate change/global warming, and continuing concerns regarding stratospheric ozone depletion, will require continued measurements and standards for many compounds, in particular halocarbons that are linked to these issues. In order to track atmospheric mole fractions and assess the impact of policy on emission rates, it is necessary to demonstrate measurement equivalence at the highest levels of accuracy for assigned values of standards. Precise measurements of these species aid in determining small changes in their atmospheric abundance.
