Measurements of particle number and mass concentrations and number size distribution of particles from a ship running on liquefied natural gas (LNG) were made on-board a ship with dual-fuel engines installed. Today there is a large interest in LNG as a marine fuel, as a means to comply with sulfur and NOX regulations. Particles were studied in a wide size range together with measurements of other exhaust gases under different engine loads and different mixtures of LNG and marine gas oil. Results from these measurements show that emissions of particles, NOX, and CO2 are considerably lower for LNG compared to present marine fuel oils. Emitted particles were mainly of volatile character and mainly had diameters below 50 nm. Number size distribution for LNG showed a distinct peak at 9-10 nm and a part of a peak at diameter 6 nm and below. Emissions of total hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide are higher for LNG compared to present marine fuel oils, which points to the importance of considering the methane slip from combustion of LNG.

Photodynamic (PDT) and chemodynamic therapies (CDT) relying on reactive oxygen species-mediated treatments mainly face various challenges of hypoxia, endogenous hydrogen peroxide (HO) deficiency, and glutathione (GSH) overexpression in the tumor microenvironment. Herein, we propose a novel strategy using a core-shell structured nanocomposite, UCNP@mSiO@5-ALA-CaO-Cu(UA@CC). The strategy centers on upconverting NPs and then utilizes mesoporous silica loaded with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) to maximize the enrichment of protoporphyrin IX (Pph IX), an intra-tumor photosensitizer.

Driven by dual-carbon targets, marine engines are accelerating their transition towards low-carbon and zero-carbon. Ammonium-hydrogen fusion fuel is considered to be one of the most promising fuels for ship decarbonization. Using non-thermal plasma (NTP) catalytic ammonia on-line hydrogen production technology to achieve hydrogen supply is one of the most important means to guarantee the safety and effectiveness of hydrogen energy in the storage and transportation process.

Seasonal dynamics can vastly influence the natural depletion of oil spilled into the ocean and the Arctic regions are characterized by large seasonal changes, especially in temperature and daylight. To determine the influences of seasonal variation on natural oil depletion processes like dissolution, photooxidation and biodegradation, we deployed thin films of three oils in natural seawater during the Arctic summer and winter in Svalbard, Norway. The extent of oil depletion varied with season and the type of the oil, however, considerable depletion of n-alkanes and polycyclic aromatic compounds were observed during both summer and winter.

Since the end of nuclear weapon testing, anthropogenic metallic radionuclides have originated from nuclear accidents such as Chernobyl and Fukushima and controlled releases from the nuclear industry. Co is an activation product found in the effluents of nuclear power plants, mobile nuclear reactors, and fuel reprocessing facilities. In this paper, we are addressing the question of (radio)cobalt speciation upon bioaccumulation in the sentinel organism after contamination in a pseudo-natural system.

Structure-forming foundation species facilitate consumers by providing habitat and refugia. In return, consumers can benefit foundation species by reducing top-down pressures and increasing the supply of nutrients. Consumer-mediated nutrient dynamics (CND) fuel the growth of autotrophic foundation species and generate more habitat for consumers, forming reciprocal feedbacks.
