Recently, the combination of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and hydroxylamine (HA) has been proposed as a green and efficient sulfate radical ()-based advanced oxidation process (AOP) for eliminating organic contaminants. However, we found that toxic nitrosated and nitrated aromatic compounds were generated during the treatment of phenolic compounds by PMS/HA system, indicating the involvement of reactive nitrogen species (RNS) during the interaction of PMS with HA. Specifically, considerable production of p-nitrosophenol (p-NSP) and mononitrophenol were obtained when phenol was oxidized by PMS/HA system under various conditions. At the molar ratio between HA and PMS of 1.0 and pH 5.0, sum of the yields of p-NSP and nitrophenols reached their maxima (around 50%). Moreover, production of p-NSP was inhibited while that of nitrophenols was promoted when applied NHOH1/2HSO was replaced by NHOHHCl, which was possibly related to the formation of secondary reactive species induced by the reaction of with chloride ion. Further, formation of undesirable nitrosated and nitrated aromatic products was obtained in the treatment of other phenolic compounds including acetaminophen, bisphenol A, and bisphenol S by PMS/HA system. Considering the toxicity of nitrosated and nitrated aromatic compounds, practical application of PMS/HA system for environmental decontamination should be scrutinized.

Diethylnitrosamine (DEN), a common dietary carcinogen, is associated with neurotoxicity in humans and animals. This study investigated the neuroprotective effects of diphenyl diselenide (DPDS) against DEN-induced neurotoxicity in male Albino Wistar rats (n = 40). Rats were randomly distributed into cohorts and treated as follows: vehicle control (corn oil 2 mL/kg; gavage), DPDS-only (5 mg/kg; gavage) and DEN-only (200 mg/kg; single dose i.

Carbonate radical (CO) is inevitably produced in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) when addressing real-world aqueous environments, yet it often goes unnoticed due to its relatively lower reactivity. In this study, we emphasized the pivotal role of CO in targeting the elimination of contaminants by contrasting it with conventional reactive oxygen species (ROSs) and assessing the removal of sulfamethazine (SMT). Similar to singlet oxygen (O), CO shows a preference for electron-rich organic compounds.

Article Synopsis
- Protein crosslinks caused by oxidative stress are linked to diseases like atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's, but their specific nature and locations in proteins remain unclear.
- A new method utilizing "light" and "heavy" isotope-labeled reagents for efficient amine labeling of crosslinked peptides has shown improved identification and quantification over previous techniques.
- This approach has led to the successful identification of novel crosslinks in proteins like β-casein and α-synuclein, as well as effective mapping of disulfide bonds in serum albumin, highlighting its versatility for studying protein modifications.

Sulfate radical (SO) advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) are efficient for degrading a broad spectrum of contaminants. This study demonstrates that the existence of environmentally relevant concentrations of nitrite (NO) can lead to the formation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogen, when heat activated peroxydisulfate (heat/PDS) is applied to address contaminants with dimethylamine moieties, such as tetracyclines. NO effectively competes with tetracyclines for SO at a high second-order reaction rate constant of 8.

The ubiquitous presence of sulfonamides (SAs) in wastewater poses serious risks to human health and ecosystem safety. This study evaluated the performance of a falling film dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) system on the removal of five SAs, namely sulfamethoxazole (SMX), sulfisoxazole (SIZ), sulfathiazole (STZ), sulfadiazine (SDZ) and sulfamerazine (SMR). Removal efficiencies >99 % were observed for all target SAs within 30 min of treatment, with pseudo-first order rate constants varying between 0.
