Air pollution associated acute respiratory inflammation and modification by GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphisms: a panel study of healthy undergraduates

Environmental Health, 2023
Epidemiological evidence has linked air pollution with adverse respiratory outcomes, but the mechanisms underlying susceptibility to air pollution remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of glutathione S-transferase (GST) polymorphism in

Interfacial Acid Sites‐Mediated ZnO‐Based Electrocatalysts for Sustainable Dual‐Pathway H2O2 Production and Rechargeable Zn‐H2O2 Electrochemical Cell

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, a synergistic strategy introduces interfacial acid sites, oxygen vacancies, and built‐in electric field into ZnSe/ZnO heterojunction to optimize its electronic structure and electrode micro‐environment. This overcomes sluggish oxygen reduction reaction kinetics and low H2O2 selectivity, achieving record H2O2 productivity (754.4 M gcat−1 ...

Impact of Sea Breeze Circulation on the Transport of Ship Emissions in Tangshan Port, China

Atmosphere, 2019
A sea breeze is a local circulation that occurs in coastal regions from the poles to the equator. The adverse influence of ship emissions on air quality in coastal areas may be aggravated by the onshore flow of sea breeze circulation.
