Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic contaminants (NHCs) have aroused intense environmental issues in waterbody because of their high toxicity and strong recalcitrance against natural degradation. In this study, ozonation degradation on four typical NHCs - benzotriazole (BTA), benzimidazole (BMZ), indazole (IDZ), and indole (IDO) was carried out to inv...

Metal-free mesoporous graphitic frameworks with built-in nanotubes (CPGs) were synthesized via facile co-pyrolysis of cyclodextrin and a cobalt salt with subsequent acid pickling to remove the embedded metal species. Due to the high graphitic degree and built-in few-layer nanotubes, the as-synthesized carbonaceous materials possess a higher catalyt...

Air pollution has adverse effects on the onset and morbidity of respiratory diseases, including asthma. In this review, we discuss recent insights into the effects of air pollution on the incidence and exacerbation of asthma. We focus on epidemiological studies that describe the association between air pollution exposure and development, mortality,...
La « crise de l'ozone » a transformé les sciences de l'atmosphère. Sur le plan politique, elle a entrainé une reconfiguration des discussions internationales sur l'environnement, aujourd'hui bien documentée. Mais comment la question de la pollution par les chlorofluorocarbones (CFC) a-t-elle influencé les relations entre savants et politiques en Fr...

Over the last years, there has been a growing interest in the use of Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) for the elimination of micropollutants. This work attempts to compare the efficiency of conventional UV, O3 and H2O2 based AOPs with a relatively new AOP based on plasma-ozonation, in terms of removal and energy efficiency. The experimental stud...
The inaccurate quantification of personal exposureto air pollutionintroduces error and bias in health estimations, severely limiting causal inference in epidemiological researchworldwide. Rapid advancements in affordable, miniaturised air pollution sensor technologies offer the potential to address this limitation by capturing the high variability ...
The peroxone reaction between O-3 and H2O2 has been deemed a promising technology to resolve the increasingly serious water pollution problem by virtue of the generation of superactive hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-center dot), but it suffers greatly from an extremely limited reaction rate constant under acidic conditions (ca. less than 0.1 M-1 s(-1) a...
