Present manuscript represents the DFT studies on the oxidation reaction of camphene initiated by OH radical and fate of product radicals using M06-2X functional along with 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. Intrinsic reaction calculation is done for transition states involving OH-addition reactions which proceed via reaction complexes proceeding to the formation of transition states. The rate constant calculated by using canonical transition state theory at 298 K and 1 atm is found to be 5.67 × 10 cm molecule s which is in good agreement with the experimental rate constant. The atmospheric lifetime of the titled molecule has also been reported in our work.

Mitigating matrix effects in oil and gas wastewater analysis: LC-MS/MS method for ethanolamines.

Environ Sci Process Impacts

January 2025

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Parsons Laboratory, 15 Vassar Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA.

The high salinity and organic content in oil and gas wastewaters can cause ion suppression during liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis, diminishing the sensitivity and accuracy of measurements in available methods. This suppression is severe for low molecular weight organic compounds such as ethanolamines (, monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA), triethanolamine (TEA), -methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), and ,-ethyldiethanolamine (EDEA)). Here, we deployed solid phase extraction (SPE), mixed-mode LC, triple quadrupole MS with positive electrospray ionization (ESI), and a suite of stable isotope standards (, one per target compound) to correct for ion suppression by salts and organic matter, SPE losses, and instrument variability.

Enantioselective Degradation and Processing Factors of Seven Chiral Pesticides During the Processing of Wine and Rice Wine.

Chirality

January 2025

Department of Pesticide Science, College of Plant Protection, State & Local Joint Engineering Research Center of Green Pesticide Invention and Application, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing, China.

Chiral pesticides often undergo enantioselective degradation during food fermentation. In this study, the enantioselective fates of seven chiral pesticides during processing of wine and rice wine were investigated. The results revealed that R-metalaxyl, R-mefentrifluconazole and S-hexaconazole were preferentially degraded during wine processing with EF values of 0.

Temporal development of chlorinated hydrocarbons in the Baltic Sea sediments: Characterization of the pollution maximum.

Sci Total Environ

January 2025

Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea (IOW), Marine Chemistry Department, Seestraße 15, 18119 Rostock, Germany; IOW, Seestraße 15, 18119 Rostock, Germany. Electronic address:

The Baltic Sea, a semi-enclosed marginal sea with a catchment area four times its size, acts as a sink and continues to show detectable levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in its sediments. This is attributed to the synthesis and industrial use of commercial polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) products, as well as the widespread use and discharge of certain chlorinated pesticides into the natural environment during the last century. Our study investigates chlorinated hydrocarbon pollutants, the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its metabolites as well as hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in sediments based on several short sediment cores from different basins covering almost the entire Baltic Sea.

Clay-catalyzed ozonation of Norfloxacin - Effects of metal cation and degradation rate on aqueous media toxicity towards Lemna minor.

Article Synopsis
  • Norfloxacin was ozonized in clay suspensions to study its toxicity on Lemna minor, which helps assess antibiotic impact in environments with clay.
  • The study found that norfloxacin causes toxicity in Lemna minor through oxidative stress, worsened by ozonation, affecting growth and chlorophyll levels.
  • Results indicate that the type of clay catalyst and the oxidation process influence the toxicity outcomes, revealing the potential formation of more harmful byproducts from the antibiotic.

On the occurrence, behaviour, and fate of naphthenic acid fraction compounds in aquatic environments.

Sci Total Environ

January 2025

Department of Civil, Geological and Environmental Engineering, University of Saskatchewan, 57 Campus Dr, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7N 5A9, Canada; University of Lethbridge, Office of the Vice President (Research), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. Electronic address:

Naphthenic acids and naphthenic acid fraction compounds (NAFCs) are associated with production of unconventional petroleum resources, especially the Athabasca Oil Sands of Alberta, Canada. This complex mixture of acidic organic compounds is toxic to a variety of taxa, and so represents an important environmental management challenge. Thus, there is clear motivation to better understand the occurrence and characteristics of NAFCs in aquatic environments, their chemical behaviour, and environmental fate.
