Dissolved organic matter (DOM) which can help the transportation of nutrients and pollutants plays essential role in the aquatic ecosystems. However, the dynamics of individual DOM component under the change of latitude have not been elucidated to date. The composition and dynamics of DOM were assessed in this study. Two individual parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) components were found in each sampling site in Heilongjiang. To further characterize the inner change of the identified PARAFAC components, two-latitude correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) technique was applied to the excitation loadings data. Interestingly, not all the fluorophore in a PARAFAC component change in the same direction as the overall change of a component. From upstream to downstream, the peak A1 in PARAFAC component C1 showed a downward trend, but peak A2 presented an upward trend. In PARAFAC component C2, the peak T2 and peak T3 showed an inverse changing trend under latitude perturbation. Furthermore, basic nutrients parameters in Heilongjiang were also characterized in each sampling sites. The relationships between DOM and nutrients showed that component C1 made a significant contribution to chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5). The evolutions of DOM peak A1 and peak A2 were accompanied by the changing of Total phosphorus (TP). The findings in this study could make a contribution to explore the fate of DOM in high humic-like substance containing river.

Background: When using semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) for single-analyte sensing, recognition is commonly achieved through interactions with capping ligands attached to the QDs surface. These ligands form an organic layer that provides stability in solution and assures selectivity by binding the target analyte via surface functional groups. However, a common analytical challenge arises in the subsequent stage of the QD-based sensing scheme.

Excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy offers rapid and informative water monitoring, but its reliability is limited by chemical composition variability, which disrupts the relationship between fluorescence signals and contaminant concentrations. Recognizing this limitation, the lack of a robust and physically interpretable tool for assessing prediction reliability has become a critical bottleneck. In this work, the composition and photophysical inconsistencies among fluorescent compounds underlying the same fluorophore signal were identified as key sources of predictive inaccuracy.

Chlorpyrifos is a widely used organophosphate pesticide with known aquatic toxicity to freshwater macroinvertebrates. However, less is known about the impact of its presence on stream ecosystem dynamics at environmentally relevant concentrations. This study, through the use of artificial streams, investigated the impact of both chlorpyrifos and dissolved organic matter (DOM) content at (5 μg L and 5 mg C L respectively) on both stream ecology and DOM composition.

The degradation of rubber seals (RS) in chlorinated water within the water distribution system has been confirmed, yet there is a lack of research exploring the aging effects of different disinfection conditions on RS surfaces in drinking water distribution systems. This study investigates the impact of various disinfection factors, including disinfectant type, dose, and pH, on RS degradation in chlorinated water. It employs parallel factor analysis of fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (PARAFAC-EEM) and two-dimensional correlation analysis of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (2D-FTIR-COS).

Graphene oxide (GO), due to its exceptional physicochemical properties, is widely used in industrial and agricultural fields and can exist as nanocolloid of GO (nGO) in aquatic environments. Dissolved organic matter (DOM), a major component of natural organic matter, significantly influences the environmental fate of nGO. However, their interaction mechanisms remain unclear.
