AB  - Sulfur dioxide pollution by ship emissions can be efficiently decreased by using exhaust gas scrubbers, yet particles can pass through the scrubber and be released into the atmosphere. Here, we studied the impact of using a wet scrubber on the composition of particle emissions, by single-particle analysis. At low engine loads, results show no significant changes in particle composition of metals, salts, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). At high engine loads, the scrubber reduced soot and PAH signatures about fourfold. Particles passing through the scrubber undergo minimal chemical changes, except for sulfate uptake. The cleaning effect of wet scrubbers is attributed to the removal of water-soluble gas-phase compounds, diffusion-dominated uptake of ultrafine particles, and wet deposition of coarse particles. The scrubber has little effect on reducing the health and environmental impacts of the remaining particles that pass through it. These emitted particles, primarily in the 60-200 nm size range, constitute a significant portion of the inhalable particle mass and have the potential for long-range transport.

AB  - To reduce the environmental footprint of human activities, the quality of environmental media such as water, soil and the atmosphere should be first assessed. Microorganisms are well suited for a such assessment because they respond fast to environmental changes, they have a huge taxonomic and genetic diversity, and they are actively involved in biogeochemical cycles. Here, we review microbiological methods that provide sensitive and robust indicators for environmental diagnosis. Methods include genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics to study the abundance, diversity, activity and functional potentials of indigenous microbial communities in various environmental matrices such as water, soil, air and waste. We describe the advancement, technical limits and sensitivity of each method. Examples of method application to farming, industrial and urban impact are presented. We rank the most advanced indicators according to their level of operability in the different environmental matrices based on a technology readiness level scale.

AB  - The binding of 4 s-triazines herbicides and metabolites, ameline, hydroxyatrazine, atraton, and ametryn to 12 structurally different humic substances was studied by affinity capillary electrophoresis. Binding data were confronted to the structural data of humic acids obtained from spectrometric measurements (UV-Vis, FT/IR, NMR), elemental analysis and potentiometric titration. The results obtained with principal component analysis and partial least square analysis clearly show the importance of carboxylic acidity and aromaticity of the humic ligands in relation to the partial positive charge and relative hydrophobicity of the pesticides.
