Article Abstract

This study combined reactive molecular dynamics (RMD) simulation with experimental verification to investigate the degradation of deoxynivalenol (DON) in wheat grains by sodium bicarbonate assisted cold plasma (SB-CP). The results showed that SB-CP treatment increased the degradation rate of DON from 52.88 % to 80.54 % and effectively improved the quality of wheat. The RMD simulation and reactive particles measurements confirmed that the increase in the degradation rate was due to SB promoting more reactive particles. By combining the five degradation products identified by LC-MS with the possible intermediate products obtained from the simulation, and based on the ease of formation and cleavage of chemical bonds in the DON molecule by reactive particles, the specific formation pathways of these products and the mechanisms of each reaction site were revealed, mainly involving the C9C10 double bond, the C12-C13 epoxy ring, and hydroxyl groups.

Background: Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) stands among the most toxic naturally occurring substances, with its acute toxicity characterized by the induction of acute hepatic necrosis, hemorrhage, and even fatal outcomes, thereby posing a profound threat to human health. Contamination of AFB1 in food commodities can arise at multiple stages throughout the production cycle, including cultivation, storage, and processing. This contamination cascade permeates the entire food supply chain, encompassing primary agricultural products as well as a diverse range of processed food items.

Uranium dioxide (UO) particles can be released from mines, nuclear fuel manufacturing, reactor accidents, and weapons use. They pose inhalation risks, yet their behavior in the human lung remains poorly understood. This study investigates the long-term chemical alteration and dissolution of µm-sized UO particles in two model lung fluids: Simulated Lung Fluid (SLF) and Artificial Lysosomal Fluid (ALF), representing extracellular and intracellular lung environments, respectively.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) significantly impact air quality as photochemical smog precursors and health hazards. Catalytic oxidation is a leading VOC abatement method but suffers from catalyst deactivation due to metal sintering and competitive adsorption in complex mixtures. Strong metal-support interactions (SMSIs) provide atomic level control of interfacial electronic and geometric structures.

Although heterogeneous photo-Fenton reactions on nanoparticulate iron oxides effectively degrade organic pollutants, the underlying surface mechanisms remain debated. Here, we demonstrate how these pathways are modulated by specific hematite crystal facets. To investigate the influence of particle surface structure, methylene blue (MB) adsorption and photodegradation kinetics are examined using facet-engineered hematite nanoparticles with distinct exposed facets.
