Two cases are presented to illustrate the delayed neurological complications which may follow carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, the mechanisms of which are not well known and which do not seem to be recognized widely enough to safeguard patients. Broad discussion is needed to determine how cases of CO exposure/poisoning should best be handled if sequelae are to be avoided.

Enhanced CH emissions from global wildfires likely due to undetected small fires.

Monitoring methane (CH) emissions from terrestrial ecosystems is essential for assessing the relative contributions of natural and anthropogenic factors leading to climate change and shaping global climate goals. Fires are a significant source of atmospheric CH, with the increasing frequency of megafires amplifying their impact. Global fire emissions exhibit large spatiotemporal variations, making the magnitude and dynamics difficult to characterize accurately.

Effects of Atmospheric Pollutants on Volatile-Mediated Insect Ecosystem Services.

Glob Chang Biol

Department of Environmental and Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, Forestry and Technology, University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio, Finland.

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.

CO Adsorption on a Single-Atom Catalyst Stably Embedded in Graphene.

Confined single metal atoms in graphene-based materials have proven to be excellent catalysts for several reactions and promising gas sensing systems. However, whether the chemical activity arises from the specific type of metal atom or is a direct consequence of the confinement itself remains unclear. In this work, through a combined density functional theory and experimental surface science study, we address this question by investigating Co and Ni single atoms embedded in graphene (Gr) on a Ni(111) support.

Atomically Dispersed Ni-N-C Catalysts for Electrochemical CO Reduction.

Small

January 2025

Materials Physics and Applications Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, 87545, USA.

The atomic dispersion of nickel in Ni-N-C catalysts is key for the selective generation of carbon monoxide through the electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CORR). Herein, the study reports a highly selective, atomically dispersed Ni-N-C catalyst with reduced Ni loading compared to previous reports. Extensive materials characterization fails to detect Ni crystalline phases, reveals the highest concentration of atomically dispersed Ni metal, and confirms the presence of the proposed Ni-N active site at this reduced loading.
