The occurrence and distribution of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in natural water has attracted worldwide attention. Antibiotic and ARG pollution in the surface water of drinking water sources might directly/indirectly affect human health. In this study, the distribution of 38 antibiotics, 10 ARGs, 2 integrons, and 16S r DNA in river-type water sources in a large city of China were monitored in winter, which was a period with high level of antibiotic pollution. The results showed that 20 antibiotics were detected with different detection frequencies. The antibiotic pollution in December 2019 was relatively high, with the total concentrations of antibiotics ranging from 281.95 to 472.42 ng/L, followed by that in January 2020 (191.70-337.29 ng/L) and November 2019 (161.25-309.72 ng/L). Sulfacetamide was dominant in November 2019 (23.52-219.00 ng/L) and in January 2020 (113.18-209 ng/L), while norfloxacin in December 2019 (146.72-290.20 ng/L). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/nazartinib-egf816-nvs-816.html All the target antibiotics posed low or medium risk for aquatic organisms, and posed low health risk for mankind. Sul1 and erm36 were the predominant ARGs, and intI1 was the predominant integron in drinking water sources. Only tetA showed positive correlations with its corresponding antibiotic (tetracycline). The rest of ARGs showed no correlations with antibiotics or positive / negative correlations with their non-corresponding antibiotics. Overall, the antibiotics and ARG pollution in these water sources was relatively low. These findings provided some reference data for the distribution of antibiotics and ARGs in river-type drinking water sources of large cities in China.Bacterial community structure is one of the essential components of aquaculture dynamics and plays an important role in maintaining wetland health. The present work is an effort to study the structure of bacterial communities in the world's largest sewage-fed fish farms, the East Kolkata Wetlands (EKWs), along with their predicted functional metabolic pathways and correlation with environmental variables. Sequencing data analysis revealed the abundance of genera such as Arcobacter (0-50%), Pseudomonas (0-15%), Sulfurospirillum (0-9%), Cloacibacterium (0-6%), hgcI clade (7-29%), C39 (0-9%), V6 (3-36%), Fluiivicola (1-6%) and Cyanobium (3-8%) in the EKWs. Further, water quality analysis of three treatment groups, i.e. Sewage, Sewage F-1 and Sewage F-2, revealed that dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) differed significantly and violated the standard prescribed norms (Central Pollution Control Board, CPCB, New Delhi) for fishery propagation and irrigation in India. Further, the correlation matrix analysis between the abundance of bacterial genera and environmental variables indicated that DO, BOD and COD were mainly responsible for bacterial community structure and their proliferation in the EKWs. Our results indicated that the abundance of genera such as Arcobacter, Pseudomonas, Sulfurospirillum and Cloacibacterium has an inverse relationship with BOD and COD. Our observations based on the bacterial community structure and deteriorated water quality indicate the ineffective functioning and poor management of this man-made constructed wetland.Isoprene can react with sulfoxy radicals (SO4•- and SO3•-) to form organosulfur compounds in aqueous phase, and the organosulfur compounds are important compositions of secondary organic aerosols (SOAs). To make sure the specific configurations of the products and the role of SO4•- and SO3•- in the formation of organosulfur compounds, the reaction mechanisms are studied by theoretical calculations. The lowest Gibbs free energy barrier of addition of SO3•- onto isoprene is 24.06 kcal mol-1 at C4 site, and its rate constant is 1.30 × 10-11 M-1 s-1 at 298 K and 1 atm. And the Gibbs free energy barriers of addition of SO4•- onto isoprene at C1 and C4 sites are barrierless and 0.92 kcal mol-1; the rate constants of these two addition processes are 6.85 × 109 and 1.17 × 105 M-1 s-1 at 298 K and 1 atm. It elucidates that organosulfates are easier to be formed. As for the products P1 (with alcohol group) and P2 (with aldehyde group), the lowest Gibbs free energy barrier of the formation of P1 is 3.17 kcal mol-1, and that of the formation of P2 is 15.84 kcal mol-1, which means that the product with alcohol group is easier to be formed than that with aldehyde group. This work provides a reference for the formation of organosulfur compounds in aqueous phase, and it may help to understand the SOA formation.The most important parameter to obtain an appropriate preservation condition of museum environments concerns the indoor air quality. The exposure of artwork and materials to gaseous and particulate pollutants introduced by visitors and either indoor or outdoor sources contributes to their decay. In this work, we evaluated the possible monitoring of the visitors' influence using the stable carbon isotopic ratio of CO2 and the concentration of NH3 as a real-time tool. The study was done in the Refectory of Santa Maria delle Grazie (Milan, Italy) which houses one of the most important paintings of Leonardo da Vinci, the Last Supper, and had more than 400,000 visitors in 2019. The results confirmed a good correlation between the presence of tourists inside the museum and the variation of δ13C value during the visits and the closure of the museum. The variation of indoor atmospheric δ13C was influenced by the presence of visitors in the Refectory and delineates the way done from the entrance to the exit. In the same way, the concentration of NH3 was influenced by the presence of visitors and confirmed the role of this one on preservation methodology for indoor air quality in the museum. This new methodology can be used as a supplemental and non-invasive tool to help in calibrating microclimatic conditions through the ventilation rate and air filtration systems in the museum and to manage the number of visitors per turn.Crop straw retention is a strongly recommended practice for sustainable agricultural production in China. However, a comprehensive analysis of straw retention effects on crop yield, N2O and CH4 emissions, net greenhouse gas (NGHG), and net greenhouse gas intensity (NGHGI) and their response to various external influence factors, including location/climatic conditions, soil properties, and field management practices, in a national scale were easily ignored. Based on the collected published literatures, we found that straw retention improved crop yield and N2O and CH4 emissions by 4.7% (-4.6 to 25.8%), 18.3% (-26.6 to 57.6%), and 21.0% (-49.0 to 214.5%) in contrast with no-straw retention. For different external conditions, crop yield was increased by 15.9% in temperate zone and 10.7% in upland soils with straw retention. N2O emissions which correspond to the above conditions were enhanced by 42.2% and 18.8%, while CH4 emissions were restrained by 49.0% in temperate zone. Negligible changes in crop yield and N2O emissions were observed for subtropical zone or paddy soils, but with increase in CH4 emissions.
