Article Abstract
* We show that the stable isotope (18)O can be used to trace ozone into different components of the plant-soil system at environmentally relevant concentrations. * We exposed plants and soils to (18)O-labelled ozone and used isotopic enrichment in plant dry matter, leaf water and leaf apoplast, as well as in soil dry matter and soil water, to identify sites of ozone-derived (18)O accumulation. * It was shown that isotopic accumulation rates in plants can be used to infer the location of primary ozone-reaction sites, and that those in bare soils are dependent on water content. However, the isotopic accumulation rates measured in leaf tissue were much lower than the modelled stomatal flux of ozone. * Our new approach has considerable potential to elucidate the fate and reactions of ozone within both plants and soils, at scales ranging from plant communities to cellular defence mechanisms.

Groundwater nitrate (NO) and sulfate (SO) pollution in semi-arid regions has attracted widespread attention. However, unveiling the dynamics and sources of NO and SO in regional groundwater is challenging because of complex anthropogenic activities and hydrogeological conditions. This study combined physicochemistry and multiple stable isotopes (δH-HO, δO-HO, δN-NO, δO-NO, δS-SO, and δO-SO) to explore the spatiotemporal patterns, driving factors, sources, and potential health hazards of NO and SO in groundwater on the Loess Plateau, China.

Unlabelled: Despite stimulating glucagon secretion, the mechanisms by which protein ingestion lowers glucose excursions remain unclear. We investigated this using the triple stable isotope glucose tracer technique to measure postprandial glucose fluxes. Eleven healthy adults completed three trials, ingesting 25 g glucose (25G; 100 kcal), 50 g glucose (50G; 200 kcal), or 25 g glucose plus 25 g whey protein (25WG; 200 kcal).

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a large group of emerging organic pollutants that contaminate the environment, food, and consumer products. Textiles and other outdoor products are a major source of PFAS exposure due to their water-repellent impregnations. Determination of PFASs in textiles is increasingly important for enhancing their contribution to the circular economy.

Karst water bodies are vital groundwater resources particularly vulnerable to pollution. Protecting their water quality requires documenting contaminants traditionally associated with anthropogenic activities (metals, nutrients, and fecal indicator bacteria) as well as emerging contaminants, such as antibiotic-resistant organisms (AROs) and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This study detected contaminants in karst-associated water bodies on the Yucatán Peninsula, including 10 sinkholes (cenotes) and one submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) site.

Despite global phase-out initiatives, legacy polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) remobilize in marine ecosystems as secondary emission sources, posing ecotoxicological and human health risks emerge through cross-trophic dietary exposure pathways. This study aimed to systematically examined the distribution, trophic transfer properties, and health risks of PCBs in six fish and eight invertebrate species from the Beibu Gulf in southern China, by stable isotope analysis, hierarchical cluster analysis, and Monte Carlo simulation. The ΣPCBs concentrations ranged from 0.
