DTRs from February to June during the COVID-19 pandemic are greater than 3 standard deviations above the climatological mean DTR.

Sodium dodecyl sulfate undergoes heterogeneous oxidation by hydroxyl radicals, and its reactivity is enhanced when ammonium ions are present in aerosols.

Microwave catalytic activity of MFe₂O₄@CMT (M = Ni, Co) supported catalysts for the degradation of dimethyl phthalate follows ·OH-oxidation and direct oxidation.

The ultra-fast and selective elimination of ¹³⁷Cs from complex aqueous solutions is achieved through the ion exchange method by employing layered K₂In₂Sb₂S₇·2.2H₂O obtained from cation activation of [(CH₃)₂NH₂]₂In₂Sb₂S₇.

In this study, the total radiative effect of black carbon (BC) in both the atmosphere and seasonal snowpack across the snow-covered area has been investigated over the Northern Hemisphere.

A flexible CuS/Matrimid composite membrane with tunable near-infrared absorption is constructed. The composite membrane exhibits good near-infrared light-driven photothermal vapor evaporation and seawater desalination effects.

Matrix effects of groundwater have profound implications on the removal mechanism and efficiency of Hg by two-dimensional MoS₂ nanosheets.

China is constructing an vehicle emission monitoring system, aimed at combining remote OBD, periodic inspections, remote sensing and roadside checks. In this study, the exhaust emissions from diesel vehicles were investigated and analysed.

Schematic illustration of the design for the synthesis of hierarchical-AgX. (a) Sequential acid–alkali treatments of NaX; (b) silver supported on original NaX; (c) silver supported on hierarchical NaX after sequential acid–alkali treatments.

By employing AgI-based aerosols, the nucleation efficiency of ice was enhanced, resulting in a greatly decreased icing mass formed on transmission lines.

Size-resolved organic aerosol (OA) analysis elucidated largely different size distributions of primary and secondary OA, and oxidation states between urban and rural sites in different seasons.
