Chlorinated derivatives of bisphenol A (ClBPAs) have been detected in wastewater from waste paper recycling plants. BPA and ClBPAs are always exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the environment and consequently various photoproducts might be produced. Acute cytotoxicity of photoproducts of BPA and ClBPAs are not known. In this study, we investigated the cytotoxicity and chemical structure of photoproducts of BPA and ClBPAs (3-chlorobisphenol A (3-ClBPA), 3,3'-dichlorobisphenol A (3,3'-diClBPA) and 3,3',5-trichlorobisphenol A (3,3',5-triClBPA)) after UV irradiation (UVA, UVB and UVC). The toxicities of photoproducts on Jurkat cells were determined by Alamar Blue assay, and the chemical structures of the photoproducts were identified using GC/MS. The cytotoxicities of 3-ClBPA and 3,3'-diClBPA were higher than that of BPA and 3,3',5-triClBPA. In addition, the toxicities of ClBPAs were increased by the irradiation of UVB and UVC at 100J/cm(2) and decreased at 1000J/cm(2) in comparison with those at 100J/cm(2), indicating that their structures had changed. 3-Hydroxybisphenol A (3-OHBPA) was detected in the photoproducts of 3-ClBPA irradiated with UVB and UVC at 100J/cm(2), and 3-OHBPA and 3-chloro-3'-hydroxybisphenol A (3-Cl-3'-OHBPA) were detected in those of 3,3'-diClBPA. However, these hydroxylated BPAs were not detected in the photoproducts exposed to 1000J/cm(2). The cytotoxicity of 3-OHBPA was the almost same as ClBPAs after UVB and UVC irradiation. These results indicate that the formation of hydroxylated BPAs might contribute to the increase in toxicity caused by UV irradiation.

Recently, transparent wood (TW) has been considered for many energy-efficient building products, such as windows and decorations. However, the existing TW still faces issues with size and thickness, as well as problems with functional fillers affecting the optical and mechanical properties of TW, which limits its wide application in the window products. In this study, a wood composite material (WCM) with good optical, mechanical, and thermal insulation and UV-shielding properties was prepared by using delignified wood (DW), methyl methacrylate (MMA), and 4-vinylphenylboric acid (VPBA).

In this paper, cellulose-lignin films containing Fe were prepared by the codissolution-precipitation method, and the films have high transparency as well as high UV absorption. In this process, kraft lignin chelates with Fe and then bonds with cellulose through hydrogen bonding, evenly distributing within the film. The morphological results showed that the kraft lignin chelated with Fe bound tightly linked to cellulose within the Fe@cellulose-lignin composite films.

Article Synopsis
- New tetrakis Eu and Gd β-diketonate complexes with benzimidazolium as a counterion were synthesized using a one-pot method, and one specific complex was incorporated into a PMMA matrix showing excellent photonic features.
- Characterization techniques like ESI-MS, FTIR, and X-ray diffraction were used to analyze the complexes, revealing unique intermolecular interactions and stability of the PMMA-doped material at high temperatures.
- The study highlighted that the materials exhibited strong photoluminescence with significant red emission when exposed to various UV wavelengths and sunlight, suggesting their potential as efficient light-converting molecular devices.

The effect of ultraviolet (UV) light on structural changes is a significant concern, particularly regarding the weathering and aging effects on microplastics (MPs). This research focused on examining how various UV light wavelengths (UVC, UVB, and UVA) influence the adsorption behavior of aged polyethylene (PE) MPs toward tetracycline (TC). To explore the adsorption mechanism in detail, adsorption kinetics were studied under different UV light wavelengths.
