The selective detection and classification of NH and HS gases with HS gas interference based on conventional SnO thin film sensors is still the main problem. In this work, three layers of SnO/Pt/WO nanofilms with different WO thicknesses (50, 80, 140, and 260 nm) were fabricated using the sputtering technique. The WO top layer were used as a gas filter to further improve the selectivity of sensors. The effect of WO thickness on the (NH, H, and HS) gas-sensing properties of the sensors was investigated. At the optimal WO thickness of 140 nm, the gas responses of SnO/Pt/WO sensors toward NH and H gases were slightly lower than those of Pt/SnO sensor film, and the gas response of SnO/Pt/WO sensor films to HS gas was almost negligible. The calcification of NH and H gases was effectively conducted by machine learning algorithms. These evidences manifested that SnO/Pt/WO sensor films are suitable for the actual NH detection of NH and HS gases.

Breathing hyperoxic gas is common in diving and accelerates fatigue after prolonged and repeated exposure. The mechanism(s) remain unknown but may be related to increased oxidants that interfere with skeletal muscle calcium trafficking or impair aerobic ATP production. To determine these possibilities, C57BL/6J mice were exposed to hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) for 4-h on three consecutive days or remained in room air.

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are widespread in the environment and food, posing ingestion risks through various pathways. However, their transformation in human body fluids (SBFs), especially the formation of secondary nanoparticles (NPs), is not well understood due to inadequate quantification methods. This study proposed a robust method for quantifying eight common MNPs using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) for pretreatment and pyrolysis gas chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Py-GC-QTOF-MS) for analysis.

Piezoelectric resonance sensors are essential to many diverse applications associated with chemical and biological sensing. In general, they rely on continuously detecting the resonant frequency shift of piezoelectric resonators due to analytes accreting on their surfaces in vacuum, gas or fluid. Resolving the small analyte changes requires the resonators with a high quality factor.

Proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) is often employed to characterize gas-phase compounds in both indoor and outdoor environments. PTR-MS measurements are usually made without upstream chromatographic separation, so it can be challenging to differentiate between an ion of interest, its isomers, and fragmentation products from other species all detected at the same mass-to-charge ratio. These isomeric contributions and fragmentation interferences can confound the determination of accurate compound mixing ratios, the assignment of accurate chemical properties, and corresponding analyses of chemical fate.

Nitrous oxide (NO) is generally detected by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) which has become a popular method in current research and applications. However, NO and CO have the same molecular mass and comparable physical characteristics, posing significant challenges to complete separation and accurate detection of NO. For this purpose, a simple and effective method for detecting nitrous oxide using alkaline washing and GC-MS was proposed.
