Drug production consumes a large amount of raw materials and is recognized as a "high-pollution, high-energy-consumption" industry. In consideration of the small amount of emission inventory research in the pharmaceutical industry, firstly, based on the actual monitoring data and production information of typical antibiotic enterprises, the emission factors of various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were determined using the field measurement method. Then, combined with the activity level information of antibiotics from A to G plant in the same park, the emission factor method was used to calculate and obtain the emissions of each plant, and an emission list was established. Uncertainty analysis of the list was carried out using the Monte Carlo method. Finally, the CALPUFF model was used to simulate the environmental impact range of the A-G plants in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The results showed that the total VOCs emission factor in the production of antibiotic enterprises was 6655.61 g·t, and the crystallization process emission factor was the largest, at 3603.476 g·t. The A to G plants produce 6655.610, 7454.283, 998.342, 11980.098, 4492.537, 42462.792, and 18302.928 kg, respectively, of VOCs each year for the production of antibiotics, and the four substances with the largest emissions are butyl acetate, -butanol, -hexane, and acetone, respectively. Through the verification of the Monte Carlo model for plant A, it was found that the emissions of plant A basically presented as a lognormal distribution, and the uncertainty of 95% confidence interval was (-60.62%, 131.78%), which was within the acceptable range. Through CALPUFF simulation, the diffusion direction and range of VOCs were found to be different in each season, and an aggregation phenomenon occurs in summer.

The active layer soils of Greenlandic permafrost areas can function as important sinks for volatile organic compounds.

Commun Earth Environ

Center for Volatile Interactions (VOLT), Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 15, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Permafrost is a considerable carbon reservoir harboring up to 1700 petagrams of carbon accumulated over millennia, which can be mobilized as permafrost thaws under global warming. Recent studies have highlighted that a fraction of this carbon can be transformed to atmospheric volatile organic compounds, which can affect the atmospheric oxidizing capacity and contribute to the formation of secondary organic aerosols. In this study, active layer soils from the seasonally unfrozen layer above the permafrost were collected from two distinct locations of the Greenlandic permafrost and incubated to explore their roles in the soil-atmosphere exchange of volatile organic compounds.

Enhanced Spontaneous Emission Rate and Luminescence Intensity of CsPbBr Quantum Dots Using a High- Microdisk Cavity.

Perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are high-efficiency optoelectronic materials attracting great interest, but further improvement in the luminescence efficiency is crucial for their application. In this work, we enhance both the spontaneous emission rate and the photoluminescence (PL) intensity of CsPbBr QDs by coupling them to a high quality () factor SiO microdisk cavity. Compared to conventional metal plasmonic cavities, the dielectric cavity structure suppresses the effects of quenching and energy transfer, which could introduce complex fluctuations and nonradiative decays.

Predicting changes in agricultural yields under climate change scenarios and their implications for global food security.

Climate change has direct impacts on current and future agricultural productivity. Statistical meta-analysis models can be used to generate expectations of crop yield responses to climatic factors by pooling data from controlled experiments. However, methodological challenges in performing these meta-analyses, together with combined uncertainty from various sources, make it difficult to validate model results.
