Volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds in landfill gas: Composition characteristics and health risks

Allelopathy and allelobiosis: efficient and economical alternatives in agroecosystems

“…The role of wind in the spread and diffusion of VOCs is beyond doubt (Pan et al . 2023). Strong winds can also increase pressure on plant growth and development, which can affect malondialdehyde content, membrane permeability, increase protective enzyme activity and osmotic adjustment in leaves of Lycium ruthenicum Murray, so as to improve adaptations to storms (Shi et al .…”

Development and validation of an improved QuEChERS method for the extraction of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) from complex soils

“…1 These compounds include organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) generated through agricultural activities, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) from industrial processes, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) derived from fossil fuel combustion. 2–4 SVOCs, with a relatively low vapor pressure (10 −9 to 10 pa), comprise this category of organic compounds, and have been implicated in a range of adverse health outcomes in humans, including endocrine disorders, allergies, asthma, and cancer. 5 Due to their high affinity for soil or sediment and low rates of chemical or biological degradation, SVOCs are highly persistent in the environment, resist photolysis, and accumulate in soil or sediment before volatilizing back into the atmosphere.…”

“…In the same vein, purification procedures predominantly involve solid-phase extraction and gel permeation chromatography. 3,11,12 Despite the pronounced reproducibility and sensitivity inherent to these techniques, the majority entail protracted steps of extraction, concentration, and enrichment, often entailing substantial employment of organic solvents, which may precipitate secondary contamination. 13,14 Furthermore, the acquisition, operation, and upkeep costs associated with equipment like ASE and Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) instruments are prohibitively elevated.…”

Visual Detection of Mercaptan Gases Using Silver Nanoparticles-Based Colorimetric Sensor Array

“…In 2014, four employees lost their lives due to the leakage of CH 3 SH during work . Additionally, these malodorous mercaptan gases, originating from sewage waste treatments, landfills, livestock farming, and petroleum refining, have caused various environmental pollution problems. , Therefore, developing a portable, highly sensitive, and visually detectable sensor for trace mercaptan gases is crucial for safeguarding workplace safety and indoor air quality.…”
