Due to their antimicrobial effects and their potential role as carbon sources, plant volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions play significant roles in determining the characteristics of the microbial communities that can establish on plant surfaces. Furthermore, epiphytic microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, can affect plant VOC emissions in different ways: by producing and emitting their own VOCs, which are added to and mixed with the plant VOC blend; by affecting plant physiology and modifying the production and emission of VOCs; and by metabolizing the VOCs emitted by the plant. The study of the interactions between plant VOC emissions and phyllospheric microbiotas is thus of great interest and deserves more attention.

Significant Impact of a Daytime Halogen Oxidant on Coastal Air Quality.

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong SAR 999077, China.
Chlorine radicals (Cl) are highly reactive and affect the fate of air pollutants. Several field studies in China have revealed elevated levels of daytime molecular chlorine (Cl), which, upon photolysis, release substantial amounts of Cl but are poorly represented in current chemical transport models. Here, we implemented a parametrization for the formation of daytime Cl through the photodissociation of particulate nitrate in acidic environments into a regional model and assessed its impact on coastal air quality during autumn in South China.

Unlabelled: MFE01 is an environmental bacterium characterized by an hyperactive type 6 secretion system (T6SS) and a strong emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In a previous study, a transposition mutant, 3H5, exhibited an inactive T6SS and altered VOC emission. In 3H5, the interruption of gene by the transposon was insufficient to explain these phenotypes.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as toluene, are hazardous air pollutants that pose significant health and environmental risks. This study addresses remediation of toluene by developing a bifunctional nitrogen-doped biochar (NDB) activated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), aimed at reducing toluene emissions through both adsorption and catalytic oxidation. A series of NDB samples were prepared via NaOH activation and pyrolysis at varying temperatures to optimize their adsorption capacity and catalytic performance.

Given the leveling off of PM, the coordinated control of PM and O has become a critical challenge in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH) region. Here, we leveraged long-term observation data spanning 2013 to 2023 to reveal spatiotemporal heterogeneity, provincial spatial correlation, and driving factors influencing PM and O integrating Moran's Index and correlation analysis. Additionally, sensitivity experiments on precursor emission reduction focusing on both overall and key sources were conducted by combining WRF-CAMx models and the empirical kinetic modeling approach (EKMA), and synergistic emission reduction pathways were proposed during periods of combined pollution.

Primary and secondary atmospheric pollutants, including carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO), ozone (O), sulphur dioxide (SO) and particulate matter (PM/PM) with associated heavy metals (HMs) and micro- and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs), have the potential to influence and alter interspecific interactions involving insects that are responsible for providing essential ecosystem services (ESs). Given that insects rely on olfactory cues for vital processes such as locating mates, food sources and oviposition sites, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are of paramount importance in interactions involving insects. While gaseous pollutants reduce the lifespan of individual compounds that act as olfactory cues, gaseous and particulate pollutants can alter their biosynthesis and emission and exert a direct effect on the olfactory system of insects.
