Classical naphthenic acids (NAs) are known to be primary aquatic toxicants of concern in the Athabasca oil sands region (AOSR), and are a component of naphthenic acid fraction compounds (NAFCs). Recent studies conducted in the AOSR have examined metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in regional wetlands. However, few studies have described NAs and/or NAFCs in AOSR wetlands. To address this gap, we examined NAFC profiles in the water of different wetlands in the AOSR, including naturalized borrow pits (i.e., abandoned pits created by excavation of road-building materials), and opportunistically-formed wetlands associated with reclamation activities. For comparison, NAFC profiles from these wetlands were compared to an opportunistic wetland formed from tailings pond dyke seepage. Samples were prepared using solid-phase extraction and analyzed using negative-ion high-resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometry. Principal component analyses (PCA) revealed patterns to the NAFC profiles in the wetlands. The first distinct grouping of wetlands included water bodies associated with reclamation activities that are located on and/or adjacent to mining overburden. One other wetland, HATS5w, separated from all other wetlands during PCA, and had a unique NAFC profile; detailed examination of NAFCs revealed HATS5w contained the heaviest (i.e., high m/z components) and most unsaturated NAFCs among study locations, demonstrating the usefulness of high-resolution mass spectrometry for characterizing individual wetlands. The NAFCs of HATS5w are also substantially different from bitumen-derived inputs in overburden-adjacent opportunistic wetlands. Collectively, the NAFC profiles presented provide new information on background levels of polar bitumen-derived organics in AOSR wetlands.Dating methodologies for Quaternary marine sediments play increasingly important roles in the reconstruction of paleoenvironments and paleoclimate in (paleo)oceanography. Previous reviews or studies have focused mainly on one or two methodologies, and their applications in one specific environment. With the continuing technological and methodological advances in different methods over the past few decades, an up-to-date comparison of the pros and cons of each dating methodology is needed to clearly understand their applications in marine geoscience research. In this review, we first briefly summarized the common methods of absolute dating and relative dating. These are (1) radioisotope dating with different half-lives using natural nuclides of 234Th, 210Pb, 230Th, and 226Ra, cosmogenic nuclides of 7Be, 14C, 10Be, 32Si, 26Al, 36Cl and 21Ne, and the artificial radionuclides of 137Cs, 239, 240Pu, 241Am and 129I that have been induced by atmospheric nuclear tests, accidents in nuclear plants, and discharges of radioactive wastes; (2) radiation exposure dating of luminescence and electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR) dating; and (3) stratigraphic dating of δ18O and paleomagnetic sequence. Applications and limitations from the marine terraces, estuaries, to hadal trenches have been summarized to each technique in the study of Quaternary marine geoscience extending from the Anthropocene through the Pleistocene. Finally, we introduced some emerging event dating methods, namely the arrivals of microplastics, mercury isotopes, and organic pollutant deposition that all appeared after the industrial resolution in our now changing ocean influenced by acidification, global warming, and anthropogenic activities. We ended by discussing future perspectives for reliable and high-resolution chronology by interdisciplinary methods including computer programming to better understand the natural geological evolution and predict the future changes in earth science.Identification and quantification of the distribution, ecological risk, and sources of heavy metals in soils are essential for regional pollution control and management. In this study, spatial analysis (SA), GeogDetector model (GDM), and positive matrix factorization (PMF) model were combined to evaluate the status, ecological risk, and sources of heavy metals in soils from a typical coastal economic development area in Southeastern China. The mean contents of Cd, Pb, Cr, Cu, and Zn in the surface soils (0-20 cm) were 0.45, 41.72, 90.50, 47.86, and 145.33 mg/kg, respectively. In accordance, the mean contents of Cd exceeded the risk screening value for contamination of agricultural soil in China. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/bms309403.html Our results revealed that industrial and residential soils had higher enrichment of heavy metals than agricultural and fallow soils. Industrial production was the major driving factors influencing the spatial distribution of heavy metals. Soil OM and pH were found to be the most important factors affecting the potential ecological risk of heavy metals, followed by distance from the industrial enterprises and roads. Heavy metals in the study area were mainly originated from industrial emissions/atmospheric deposition, agricultural sources, and followed by natural sources. Therefore, regular monitoring and source control for heavy metals, especially for Cd, along with the integrated soil environmental management in the study area are crucial to ensure soil health and ecosystem security.Leakage accidents occurring during oil production and transportation are currently one of the most serious environmental problems worldwide. Developing efficient and environmentally friendly oil-water separation methods is the key to solve this problem. In this work, a facile method to fabricate a high-performance oil absorbent through the loading of ball-milled biochar (BMBC) and octadecylamine on the skeleton of melamine foam (MF) is reported. The resulting ball-milled biochar-based MF (BMBC@MF) displayed a complex three-dimensional porous structure. The BM biochar on the surface of BMBC@MF forms nano/μm-scale folds, which reduced the surface energy of BMBC@MF after grafted octadecylamine. These structures resulted in the conversion of the hydrophilic surface of MF to hydrophobic surface. These characteristics made the modified foam an excellent oil absorbent with a high oil absorption capacity (43-155 times its own weight) and extraordinary recyclability. Furthermore, the BMBC@MF could maintain high hydrophobicity and adsorption stability in a wide pH range (from 1 to 11).
