Jia Y, Zhang C, Zheng H, Zhang G, Zhang S. Organic peroxyl radicals from biacetyl accelerated the visible-light degradation of steroid estrogens in aqueous solution. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 351:141195.

Abstract
Indirect photodegradation is an important pathway for the reduction of steroid estrogens in sunlit surface waters. Nevertheless, the kinetics and mechanisms governing the interaction between coexisting carbonyl compounds and estrogens under visible light (Vis) remain unexplored. This study systematically investigates the Vis-induced photodegradation of 17β-estradiol (E2) in the presence of five specific carbonyl compounds-biacetyl (BD), acetone, glyoxal, pyruvic acid, and benzoquinone. The results demonstrate that, among these compounds, only BD significantly enhanced the photodegradation of E2 under Vis irradiation (λ > 400 nm). The pseudo-first order photodegradation rate constants (k1) of E2 in the Vis/BD system were 0.025 min-1 and 0.076 min-1 in ultrapure water and river water, respectively. The enhancing effect of BD was found to be pH-dependent, increasing the pH from 3.0 to 11.0 resulted in a 76% reduction in the k1 value of E2 in the Vis/BD system. Furthermore, the presence of humic acid, NO3-, or HCO3- led to an increase of more than 35% in the k1 value of E2, while NO2- exerted a pronounced inhibitory effect, resulting in a 92% decrease. Peroxyacetyl and peroxymethyl radicals, derived from BD in a yield ratio of 9, played a crucial role in the degradation of E2. These peroxyl radicals primarily targeted electron-rich hydroxyl sites of E2, initiating hydroxylation and ring-opening reactions that culminated in the formation of acidic byproducts. Notably, toxicity evaluation indicates that these hydroxylated and acidic products exhibited lower toxicity than the parent compound E2. This study highlights the important role of peroxyl radicals in estrogen degradation within aquatic environment, and also helps to design efficient visible light-responsive photo-activators for the treatment of estrogen-contaminated waters.

Abstract
Early detection of beer faults is an important assessment in the brewing process to secure a high-quality product and consumer acceptability. This study proposed an integrated AI system for smart detection of beer faults based on the comparison of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) and a newly developed electronic nose (e-nose) using machine learning modelling. For these purposes, a commercial larger beer was used as a base prototype, which was spiked with 18 common beer faults plus the control aroma. The 19 aroma profiles were used as targets for classification ma-chine learning (ML) modelling. Six different ML models were developed; Model 1 (M1) and M2 were developed using the NIR absorbance values (100 inputs from 1596–2396 nm) and e-nose (nine sensor readings) as inputs, respectively, to classify the samples into control, low and high concentration of faults. Model 3 (M3) and M4 were based on NIR and M5 and M6 based on the e-nose readings as inputs with 19 aroma profiles as targets for all models. A customized code tested 17 artificial neural network (ANN) algorithms automatically testing performance and neu-ron trimming. Results showed that the Bayesian regularization algorithm was the most adequate for classification rendering precisions of M1 = 95.6%, M2 = 95.3%, M3 = 98.9%, M4 = 98.3%, M5 = 96.8%, and M6 = 96.2% without statistical signs of under- or overfitting. The proposed system can be added to robotic pourers and the brewing process at low cost, which can benefit craft and larger brewing companies.

Abstract
Unpleasant odor in drinking water is a worldwide substantial issue for consumers and water utilities. However, its hidden social impact has been ignored as there are no apparent direct health effects compared with other pollutants. In this study, we developed a method to characterize the adverse effects of a typical odorant based on behavioral responses with the corresponding economic burden, illustrated by 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB). The dose-response based on behavioral responses to odors using a questionnaire was established in consideration of the bandwagon effect. Results showed that about half of consumers adopted averting behaviors after detecting even very weak odor (but generally recognizable) in drinking water. Total economic burden was determined to be 290690 ± 27427 ¥ per million people per day by the surcharges arising from consumer averting behavior or additional treatment of drinking water odor, among which about 13% of surcharge originated from insensitive people because of bandwagon effect. This is the first study to quantify odor hidden risk based on people's behavioral responses using economic burden, which provides a useful tool to comparing the risks of different types of pollutants in drinking water.

Abstract
Hazardous and odorous gas emissions from composting and methanization plants are an issue of public concern. Odor and chemical monitoring are thus critical steps in providing suitable strategies for air pollution control at waste treatment units. In this study, 141 gas samples were extensively analyzed to characterize the odor and chemical emissions released upon the aerobic treatment of 10 raw substrates and five digestates. For this purpose, agricultural wastes, biowastes, green wastes, sewage sludge, and municipal solid waste (MSW) were composted in 300 L pilots under forced aeration. Gas exhausts were evaluated through dynamic olfactometry and analytical methods (i.e., GC/MS) to determine their odor concentration (OC in OUE m-3) and chemical composition. A total of 60 chemical compounds belonging to 9 chemical families were identified and quantified. Terpenes, oxygenated compounds, and ammonia exhibited the largest cumulative mass emission. Odor emission rates (OUE h-1) were computed based on OC measurements and related to the initial amount of organic matter composted and the process time to provide odor emission factors (OEFs in OUE g-1OM0). The composting process of solid wastes accounted for OEFs ranging from 65 to 3089 OUE g-1OM0, whereas digestates composting showed a lower odor emission potential with OEF fluctuating from 8.6 to 30.5 OUE g-1OM0. Moreover, chemical concentrations of single compounds were weighted with their corresponding odor detection thresholds (ODTs) to yield odor activities values (OAVs) and odor contribution (POi, %). Volatile sulfur compounds were the main odorants (POi = 54-99%) regardless of the operational composting conditions or substrate treated. Notably, methanethiol was the leading odorant for 73% of the composting experiments.

Abstract
A big challenge for the civilization in energy saving/waste management can be "the regeneration of monomers from the waste plastics followed by their re-polymerization" using an ideal recycling method. Herein, we investigate the thermal depolymerization of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) using thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry (TGA-MS). In this process, the polymer chains were decomposed to methyl methacrylate (MMA) in high yield and the degradation species were thoroughly characterized. The obtained MMA contained traces of byproducts. Firstly, the byproducts were found to be nonpolymerizable, secondly, their presence interrupt the polymerization reaction, and thirdly, they reduce the quality of re-polymerized PMMA (r-PMMA). This study reclaims that besides the main byproduct (methyl isobutyrate), traces of methyl pyruvate and 2,3-butanedione were also formed during the thermal depolymerization of PMMA. The formed 2,3-butanedione was found to be responsible for the unpleasant smell in the recovered MMA that also found itself in the r-PMMA. Further, the generated byproducts were eliminated from the r-PMMA by a dissolution/re-precipitation method. The structural characterizations of the recycled and purified PMMA were carried out by Fourier-transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Hydrogen-1 (1H)- and Carbon-13 (13C)-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The chemical properties of the r-PMMA and purified PMMA proved to be similar to that of the virgin commercial PMMA. This study can provide an effective and practical prototype for the recycling of waste PMMA scraps and thus reduction in pollution caused by the landfilling of waste PMMA scraps.

Abstract
Diacetyl is a natural byproduct of fermentation and known to be an important flavor compound in many food products. Because of the potential undesirable effects of diacetyl on health safety and beer flavor, determination of its concentration in beer samples is essential and its analytical methods have attracted close attention recently. The aim of the present work is to develop and validate a novel high-performance liquid chromatography method for the quantification of diacetyl in beer based on the derivatization reaction of diacetyl with 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (NPDA). After the derivatization with NPDA in pH 3.0 at 45 °C for 20 min, diacetyl was separated on a kromasil C(18) column at room temperature in the form of the resulting 6-nitro-2,3-dimethylquinoxaline and detected by the ultraviolet detector at 257 nm. The results showed that the correlation coefficient for the method was 0.9992 in the range of 0.0050-10.0 mg L(-1) and the limit of detection was 0.0008 mg L(-1) at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The applicability of the proposed method was evaluated in the analysis of beer samples with the recovery range of 94.0-99.0% and relative standard deviation range of 1.20-3.10%. The concentration levels of diacetyl detected in beer samples from 12 brands ranged from 0.034 to 0.110 mg L(-1). The proposed method showed efficient chromatographic separation, excellent linearity, and good repeatability that can be applied to quantification of diacetyl in beer samples.

Abstract
Llobregat River (North-East Spain) is the most important drinking water source for Barcelona and its surrounding area. As one of the only water sources in the area the river water have been overexploited and effluents from more than 30 urban wastewater treatment plants, industries and agriculture runoffs have been discharged into the river. This article reviews the presence of emerging contaminants published during the last decades, emphasizing on the observed effects on ecosystems caused by the contamination. Pesticides, surfactants, estrogens, pharmaceuticals and personal care products and even abuse drugs are the main groups detected in different studies, reporting alterations in species composition, abundance or biomass and endocrine disruption measured by alterations in enzymatic activity or specific protein production. The information available provides an overview of the river status according to the Water Framework Directive.

Abstract
Production and fate of taste and odor (T&O) compounds in natural waters are a pressing environmental issue. Simultaneous determination of these complex compounds (covering a wide range of boiling points) has been difficult. A simple and sensitive method for the determination of eight malodors products of cyanobacterial blooms was developed using automatic purge and trap (P&T) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). This extraction and concentration technique is solvent-free. Dimethylsulfide (DMS), dimethyltrisulfide (DMTS), 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine (IPMP), 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine (IBMP), 2-methylisoborneol (MIB), β-cyclocitral, geosmin (GSM) and β-ionone were separated within 15.3 min. P&T uses trap #07 and high-purity nitrogen purge gas. The calibration curves of the eight odors show good linearity in the range of 1-500 ng/L with a correlation coefficient above 0.999 (levels=8) and with residuals ranging from approximately 83% to 124%. The limits of detection (LOD) (S/N=3) are all below 1.5 ng/L that of GSM is even lower at 0.08 ng/L. The relative standard deviations (RSD) are between 3.38% and 8.59% (n=5) and recoveries of the analytes from water samples of a eutrophic lake are between 80.54% and 114.91%. This method could be widely employed for monitoring these eight odors in natural waters.

Abstract
A study of organic compounds which caused several odor problems in water supplies from NW Spain was carried out. Sour dish-cloths, potato bin and musty were the main descriptors associated with these events. Closed loop stripping analysis combined with sensory-GC and GC/MS detection was used. The compound producing the initial odor event was 3,5-dimethyl-2-methoxypyrazine, identified for the first time as the compound responsible for odor incidents in finished water. Concentration levels were up to 300 ng/L in the effluent from an activated sludge wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and 3 ng/L in finished water. 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine and other alkyl methoxypyrazines were the compounds responsible for the odor events that occurred several months later. Concentration levels in the mg/L range were measured in the activated sludge of a WWTP.

Abstract
A headspace-solid-phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method has been proposed for the simultaneous determination of odorous trihalogenated anisoles in water. Parameters affecting efficiency of HS-SPME procedure, such as the selection of the SPME coating, extraction time, temperature and ionic strength were optimized. The commercially available polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS 100 microm) fiber appears to be the most suitable for the simultaneous determination of these compounds. Run-to-run precision with relative standard deviations (R.S.D.s) between 5 and 15% were obtained for most of the compounds except for 2,5-dicloro-6-bromo-anisole, 2,3-dibromo-6-chloroanisole, pentachloro- and pentabromoanisole (>20%). The method was linear over two orders of magnitude, and detection limits were compound dependent and ranged from 0.03 ng/L for 2,4,6-trichloroanisole to 0.25 ng/L for 2,3-dibromo-6-chloroanisole. The HS-SPME-GC-MS procedure was tested using real samples and relatively good standard deviations were obtained when using p-iodoanisole as internal standard for quantification. This is the first time that the individual identification of odorous trihalogenated chloro-bromoanisoles has been reported, being HS-SPME-GC-MS a suitable method for simultaneous determination of these compounds in water at concentration levels below their odor limit of detection.
