Perspiration and environmental chemicals, such as air pollutants, are two of the complicating factors of skin disease. It has not been studied how perspiration affect the skin responding to air pollutants. We applied topically artificial eccrine perspiration, sulphite or both to the mouse skin for one and two weeks to examine the influence of both factors on the shielding ability of healthy skin. Morphological examination showed apparent thickening of the epidermal layer in the skin samples with combined treatment at 1 week, and in the sections applied with sulphite and combined treatment at 2 weeks without significant difference in the extent of epidermal hyperplasia between two groups. The outcomes of immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis showed elevated percentages of dermal fibroblasts expressing interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), tumor necrosis factor β (TNF-β) and cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2). Results of two-way repeated measured analysis of variance (two-way RMANOVA) showed that both perspiration and sulphite, but not the interaction between them, were significant factors affecting the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. The evidences indicated that perspiration induced cytokines expressions in the dermal fibroblasts and promoted the effect of sulphite on the shielding response of the skin by inducing epidermis hyperplasia.

UV-advanced reduction processes (UV-ARP), characterized by the strongly reducing aqueous electron (e ), have been shown to degrade perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Due to the high cost of PFAS destruction technologies, concentrated waste streams derived from physical treatment processes, such as ion exchange or membrane concentrates, are promising targets for implementation of these technologies. However, there are limited studies on the application of UV-ARP for PFAS destruction in concentrated waste streams.

C7 HFPO-TA is a newly identified alternative to PFOA, which possesses a unique structure fragment (CFO-CF(CF)-). In this study, we evaluated the chemical reactivity of C7 HFPO-TA in advanced oxidation and reduction processes for the first time, which revealed a series of unexpected transformation mechanisms. The results showed that reductive degradation based on hydrated electrons (e) was more feasible for the degradation of C7 HFPO-TA.

Wood is an insulator material, using its porous structure to endow it with efficient microwave absorption and broaden its application range is still a major challenge. Here, wood-based FeO composites with excellent microwave absorption properties and high mechanical strength were prepared by alkaline sulfite method, in-situ co-precipitation method and compression densification method. The results showed that the magnetic FeO was densely deposited in the wood cells, and the prepared wood-based microwave absorption composites had both high electrical conductivity, magnetic loss, excellent impedance matching performance and attenuation performance, as well as effective microwave absorption properties.

In this work, the cause of abnormal color in ammonium sulfate products formed by flue gas desulfurization is revealed by investigating the conversion relationship between different sulfur-containing ions and their behavior in a sulfuric acid medium. Both thiosulfate (SO) and sulfite (SO ＆ HSO) impurities affect the quality of ammonium sulfate. The SO is the main reason for the yellowing of the product due to the formation of sulfur impurities in concentrated sulfuric acid.
