“…Toluene is an important intermediate in chemical production and is also widely used in high-octane gasoline additives and industrial organic solvents. Although it is not classified as a carcinogen, its toxicity should not be underestimated . Long-term exposure to toluene may damage the central nervous system as well as the liver/kidney functions in humans. − Thus, it is imperative to monitor the toluene levels to protect human health.…”

With the introduction of Eu 3+ ions as the secondary fluorescent signal reporter and sensing active sites, a dual-emission ratiometric sensor of Eu 3+ @NiMOF (Eu 3+ functional NiMOF) for hippuric acid (HA) detection in urine and serum was fabricated via the postsynthetic encapsulating strategy. Based on the two emission signals at 441 nm (turn-on) and 628 nm (turn-off), the produced Eu 3+ @NiMOF ratiometric sensor provided enhanced sensitivity, higher selectivity, and 9.7 times lower limits of detection (LOD) for the detection of HA (2.38 μM, 0.42 μg•mL −1 ) than that of the pristine NiMOF. Considering the high sensitivity and visualization results, further exploration of intelligent applications in the HA sensing process was carried out by constructing a tandem combinational logic gate to improve the practicability and convenience with the help of a smartphone. This work provides a promising approach for developing MOF-based ratiometric sensors to detect biomarkers.

“…Three papers deal with the fourth topic: organic pollutants. Yang et al (2019) investigated 43 locations for benzene homologues contaminants in soil, soil gas and groundwater in a former herbicide factory site: distribution, attenuation, risk and remediation and also studied the hydrogeological conditions. An inverse distance weighted interpolation method was employed to determine the pollutants' spatial distribution in the soils.…”

BackgroundThe collection of papers submitted to this Special Issue is mainly an outcome of the Session SSS8.5, EGU2018 ''Soil contamination and human health: advances and problems of risk assessment'', the European Geosciences Union (EGU) Conference held in Vienna, April 2018.The development of soil geochemistry and geochemical ecology has demonstrated a correlation between concentration of certain elements in soil, their transfer to local food chains and biological reactions to deficiency or excess of the particular elements, including diseases such as goitre, fluorosis, selenosis and cancer. The development of analytical chemistry combined with developing GIS increases the spatial correlation between soil geochemistry and medical data. It is necessary to establish the optimal level for population health and evaluate the spatial distribution of soil chemicals above or below these optimal levels.

Benzene is widely used in chemical industries and has a high potential to cause damage. The release of benzene from storage tanks can generate threats to workers, facilities, and the environment. The effects and consequences of benzene release from a storage tank during the dry and rainy seasons were investigated with the Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres (ALOHA) software program. Risk distributions were obtained through threat zones classified by red, orange, and yellow colors. The results showed that the maximum hazard areas related to benzene vapor cloud and flammability in rainy seasons were greater than those in the dry seasons. There was no significant difference in the consequences of the thermal radiation from pool fire and the Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion (BLEVE) scenario in both the rainy and dry seasons. The maximum threat zones were determined to be 2200 and 305 m for the toxic benzene vapor cloud and the flammable area, respectively. The consequences of the pool fire and BLEVE scenario of benzene were at a distance of 101 and 3600 m from the storage tank, respectively. This study is expected to play an important role for decision‐makers in preventing benzene‐related accident risks and to reducing loss.
