Article Abstract

In this paper, a comprehensive method for the identification of the unknown halogenated DBPs (X-DBPs, X = Cl, Br, and I) in the tap water of Wuhan, China via liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) was developed. 123 X-DBPs were identified through the stepwise procedure, 94 of them were newly identified, and 3 of them were confirmed by standards. Most X-DBPs were aliphatic compounds and highly unsaturated and phenolic compounds, some X-DBPs contained multiple halogen atoms and rich in carboxyl groups, such as CHOBrCl, CHOBr, and CHOClI. It was worth noting that the concentration of some X-DBPs had the same trend with time. Most Cl-DBPs remained stable and I-DBPs were detected occasionally by monitoring the change of concentration of these X-DPBs with the time during three consecutive months. The results demonstrate that the proposed method could provide valuable molecular formula and structure information on unknown multiple halogenated DBPs, or be used for the identification of other multiple halogenated organic compounds in different media.

Objectives: Due to ozonated water's antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, it may be used as a supplementary treatment to scaling and root planing (SRP). The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of using ozonated water instead of tap water during the SRP for people with chronic generalized periodontitis.

Material And Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 30 patients with generalized periodontitis Stages I and II, randomly allocated to two groups.

In this study, a deep-water culture (DWC) hydroponic system integrating carbon dioxide nanobubble (CNB) water and biochar (BC) was explored as a potential substrate for carbon and nutrient management. Lettuce seedlings were cultivated under varying substrates, including tap water (TW) and deionized water (DW) with and without CNB and BC at concentrations of 0.1 or 0.

Organophosphate triesters (tri-OPEs) are synthetic phosphate derivatives that are primarily used as flame retardants and plasticizers. Tri-OPEs have become significant aquatic contaminants owing to their large production volumes and wide range of applications. Organophosphate diesters (di-OPEs) are closely related to tri-OPEs.

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most substantial challenges for global public health. To address the inefficient elimination of intracellular resistance genes (i-ARGs) in antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) by peracetic acid (PAA) oxidation, we developed an integration strategy (NW-EP/EA) of nanowire-confined electroporation (NW-EP) of ARB cells and nanowire-confined electroactivation (NW-EA) of PAA with a sequential oxidation-reduction process. The locally enhanced electric field and electrocatalytic activity over NW tips prompted the formation of electroporation pores on ARB cells and the generation of reactive ⋅OH and RO⋅ radicals by PAA electroactivation.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) exhibit exceptional adsorption capacity but suffer from challenging desorption. In this study, a bromine-functionalized magnetic COF composite (FeO@COF-Br) was synthesized via bromodimethylsulfonium bromide-mediated bromination of imine-linked COF on FeO nanospheres (FeO@COF), where the COF framework was constructed by 1,3,5-tris(4-formylphenyl)benzene and 2,6-diamino-3,5-diethynylpyridine. Compared with pristine FeO@COF, FeO@COF-Br enhanced desorption efficiencies for brominated contaminants by about 30% while maintaining adsorption capacity.
