Volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) emission were sampled and analyzed from three printed circuit board (PCB) factories in an industrial area in Shanghai. VOCs concentrations, compositions and source profiles were investigated. In September and December, the highest concentration of VOCs from manufacturing spaces in factory A, B and H were (2.94/2.01) x 10(-9), (3.18/1.11) x 10(-6), (0.70/0.18) x 10(-9), respectively; while for the VOCs from the vent of waste gases, they were (0.86/0.90) x 10(-9), (31.2/ 12.0) x 10(-6), (1.24/0.30) x 10(-9), respectively. Factory A total of 67 VOCs compounds of seven classes were detected, such as alkanes and its chlorine substitutes, alkene and its chlorine substitutes, benzene and its chlorine substitutes, ketone group, as well as ester. The highest concentrations in workshop/vent in A, B and H factories were 2-butanone 6.73 mg x m(-3)/2-methyl-n-hexane 5.93 mg x m(-3), ethyl acetate 8.90 mg x m(-3)/propane 9.64 mg x m(-3), and propone 2.04 mg x m(-3)/propone 1.69 mg x m(-3), respectively. With 100% detection rate, the highest and average concentrations of benzene, toluene and xylene of all sampling sites were 0.077 mg x m(-3)/ 0.035 mg x m(-3), 0.56 mg x m(-3)/0.31 mg x m(-3), 0.21 mg x m(-3)/0.12 mg x m(-3) (m-xylene + p-xylene) and 0.081 mg x m(-3)/0.050 mg x m(-3) (o-xylene), respectively. According to the results of source profiles and PCA analysis, benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone and 2-butanone could be defined as the molecular markers for A and B factories. For factory H, molecular markers were alkanes chlorine substitutes and alkene chlorine substitutes, as well as benzene and its chlorine substitutes. Non-point source was located in the workshops and the production lines. Point source pollution of VOCs was from the vent of waste gases.

Nitroarenes are readily accessible bulk chemicals and can serve as versatile starting materials for a series of synthetic reactions. However, due to the inertness of the C-NO bond, the direct denitrative substitution reaction with unactivated nitroarenes remains challenging. Chemists rely on sequential reduction and diazotization followed by the Sandmeyer reaction or the nucleophilic aromatic substitution of activated nitroarenes to realize nitro group transformations.

The Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) is a unique water-soluble photoactive protein that plays a critical role in regulating the balance between light harvesting and photoprotective responses in cyanobacteria. The challenge in understanding OCP´s photoactivation mechanism stems from the heterogeneity of the initial configurations of its embedded ketocarotenoid, which in the dark-adapted state can form up to two hydrogen bonds to critical amino acids in the protein's C-terminal domain, and the extremely low quantum yield of primary photoproduct formation. While a series of experiments involving point mutations within these contacts helped us to identify these challenges, they did not resolve them.

Although electrostatic catalysis can enhance the kinetics and selectivity of reactions to produce greener synthetic processes, the highly directional nature of electrostatic interactions has limited widespread application. In this study, the influence of oriented electric fields (OEF) on radical addition and atom abstraction reactions are systematically explored with ion-trap mass spectrometry using structurally diverse distonic radical ions that maintain spatially separated charge and radical moieties. When installed on rigid molecular scaffolds, charged functional groups lock the magnitude and orientation of the internal electric field with respect to the radical site, creating an OEF which tunes the reactivity across the set of gas-phase carbon-centred radical reactions.

The ultraviolet-activated peroxymosnofulate (UV/PMS) system, an effective advanced oxidation process for removing dissolved organic matter (DOM) from wastewater, is limited by high chloride ion (Cl) concentrations in landfill leachate. This study used Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry to explore the transformation of DOM in the UV/PMS system with a high Cl concentration. The results revealed that elevated Cl levels generate reactive chlorine species, including chlorine radicals, dichlorine radicals, and hypochlorous acid/hypochlorite, reducing the total organic carbon (TOC) removal efficiency of Suwannee River natural organic matter (SRNOM) from 78.

Despite advancements in high-resolution screening techniques, the identification of novel perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) remains challenging without prior structural information. In view of this, we proposed and implemented a new data-driven algorithm to calculate spectral similarity among PFAS, facilitating the generation of molecular networks to screen for unknown compounds. Using this approach, 81 PFAS across 12 distinct classes were identified in soil samples collected near an industrial park in Shandong Province, China, including the first reported occurrence of 12 iodine-substituted PFAS.
