In order to understand the emission characteristics of common greening trees in Beijing and analyze their correlations with photosynthetic parameters, including the net photosynthetic rate (), stomatal conductance (), intercellular CO concentration (), and transpiration rate (), we collected samples of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) using a dynamic sampling technique from 14 species of deciduous trees. The results showed that there were significant differences in isoprene and total BVOC emissions between family or genus levels (<0.01). With the exception of Maxim and L., all species were found to emit isoprene, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes, of which, species from the Salicaceae (e.g., cv. '55/56'× cv. 'Imperial', cv. '74/76' Carr, and ) and Legume ( and Linn. var Hort) families were the higher isoprene emitters, with emission rates that ranged from (30.1±4.3) μg·(g·h) to (91.8±10.0) μg·(g·h). Plants from the Oleaceae (e.g., Roxb and Lindl), Begonia (), Sapindaceae (), and Aceraceae ( Bunge) families mainly emitted monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. Among them, Roxb and Bunge were the highest emitters with emission rates of (10.6±4.8) μg·(g·h) and (11.8±6.4) μg·(g·h), respectively. Ocimene and -pinene were the two main monoterpenes emitted from greening tree species. No significant correlations were found between the emission of BVOCs and or , while the emission rate of isoprene (=0.681; <0.01) and the total BVOC (=0.698; <0.01) from the Salicaceae family increased with increasing . Moreover, leguminous plants showed a significant positive correlation between the total BVOC emission rate and (=0.04). This study provides a scientific reference for the selection and configuration of urban greenery, and a theoretical basis for exploring the mechanism of BVOC emissions.

In this study, a novel "OFF-ON" fluorescent probe MPZ ((E)-5-((10-ethyl-2-methoxy-10H-phenothiazin-3-yl)methylene)thiazolidine-2,4-dione) based on phenothiazine is synthesized, which can rapidly (7 s) detect biogenic amines (BAs) through deprotonation, utilizing both colorimetric and fluorescent dual channels. An app for visual portable detection of fish freshness, named "Visual Evaluation", is independently developed. This app integrates several functions, including image capture, editable scanning of red, green, and blue (RGB) values, data analysis fitting, data storage, and verification.

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are emitted by urban vegetation and can interact with anthropogenic pollutants to generate secondary organic aerosols (SOA) that are atmospheric pollutants in urban environments. In urban forests, SOA comprise up to 90 % of all fine aerosols (particulate matter smaller than 1 μm [PM]) in the summer. PM can greatly affect urban air quality and public health.

In this research, we investigated the essential role of biogenic volatile organic compound emissions in regulating tropospheric ozone levels, atmospheric chemistry, and climate dynamics. We explored linalool ozonolysis and secondary organic aerosol formation mechanisms, providing key insights into atmospheric processes. Computational techniques, such as density functional theory calculations and molecular dynamics simulations, were employed for the analysis.

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.

Secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) significantly impact Earth's climate and human health. Although the oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has been recognized as the major contributor to the atmospheric SOA budget, the mechanisms by which this process produces SOA-forming highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs) remain unclear. A major challenge is navigating the complex chemical landscape of these transformations, which traditional hypothesis-driven methods fail to thoroughly investigate.
