Abstract
The challenge for simultaneous detection and removal of Hg2+ is the design of bifunctional materials bearing abundant accessible chelating sites with high affinity. Covalent-organic frameworks (COFs) are attracting more and more attention as potential bifunctional materials for Hg2+ detection due to their large specific surface area, ordered pores, and abundant chelating sites. Here, a new luminous S,N-rich COFBTT-AMPD based on hydrophilic block unit of 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AMPD) was constructed, which improved the solubility and affinity for Hg2+ greatly. Another S-rich fused-ring unit of benzotrithiophene tricarbalaldehyde (BTT) enhanced the conjugation of COFBTT-AMPD, and the methyl-rich chains block unit of AMPD effectively suppressed the aggregation-caused quenching. Thus, the COFBTT-AMPD emitted strong fluorescence at 546 nm in liquid and solid as well as different solvent with a wide pH range, which was used for the visual detection and removal of Hg2+ (detection limit: 2.6 nM, linear range: 8.6 × 10-3-20 μM, monolayer adsorption capacity: 476.19 mg g-1) successfully. COFBTT-AMPD-based fabric and light-emitting diode coatings were further constructed to realize the visual detection of Hg2+ vapor. The results reveal the potential of S,N-rich luminous COFBTT-AMPD for Hg2+ detection and remediation in the environment.

Quantitative mapping of mercury and selenium in mushroom fruit bodies with laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Anal Bioanal Chem 2022; 414:7517-7530. [PMID: 35927365 PMCID: PMC9482896 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-022-04240-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2022] [Revised: 06/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
This work describes the development of a novel method for quantitative mapping of Hg and Se in mushroom fruit body tissues with laser ablation coupled to inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Different parameters of the protocol for preparation of the standards used for quantification via external calibration were assessed, e.g., the dissolution temperature of gelatin standards and the addition of chitosan and L-cysteine as additives to the gelatin-based calibration droplets to better match the sample matrix. While chitosan was not suited for this purpose, the presence of L-cysteine considerably improved the figures of merit of the calibration, leading to limits of detection of 0.006 and 0.3 µg g-1 for Hg and Se, respectively, at a pixel size of 20 × 20 µm. Further, an in-house reference material, ideally suited for the validation of the method for application to mushroom samples, was successfully prepared from a paste of Boletus edulis. The newly developed method was used to investigate the distribution of Hg and Se in tissue sections of five porcini mushroom individuals of three different species (Boletus edulis, Boletus aereus, and Boletus pinophilus) and one sample of a parasol mushroom (Macrolepiota procera). For one sample, additional areas were ablated at higher spatial resolution, with a laser spot size down to 5 µm, which allows a detailed investigation of the spatial distribution of Hg and Se in mushrooms.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 307:119555. [PMID: 35654251 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.119555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The toxicity of nano-sized particles of mercury (NP-Hg), which are thought to be generated during the detoxification of methyl mercury (MeHg), may differ from that of MeHg, elemental Hg (Hg0), and inorganic Hg (I-Hg). From a human health perspective, it is important to evaluate the presence of NP-Hg in seafoods. We investigated the in vivo formation of NP-Hg in fish and shellfish, which are the main sources of Hg exposure in humans. NP-Hg was measured in 90 fish samples with single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) after enzyme degradation with pancreatin and lipase. In addition to NP-Hg, total Hg (T-Hg), MeHg, and selenium (Se) concentrations were evaluated. Transient Hg signals were detected as nanoparticles from almost all samples by using spICP-MS. Higher particle number concentrations (CPN) were observed in the tuna-swordfish group than in the shellfish group (17.7 × 107 vs. 1.2 × 106 particles/g, respectively). Although the CPN and maximum particle mass increased significantly with increasing T-Hg concentration, the increase in CPN was greater than those in maximum particle mass. Assuming that the NP-Hg detected was HgSe (tiemannite) and spherical based on previous reports, the maximum particle diameter was estimated to be 89 nm. The mean dietary exposures to NP-Hg, T-Hg, and MeHg were estimated to be 0.067, 5.75, and 5.32 μg/person per day, respectively. Generation of NP-Hg was inferred to be widespread in marine animals, with a preferential increase in the number of particles rather than an increase in particle size. The mean dietary exposure to NP-Hg in Japanese people was estimated to be 1.2 ng/kg body weight (BW) per day. Compared to PTWI of 4 μg/kg BW per week (0.57 μg/kg BW per day) derived by JECFA (2011), the health risk from redissolved I-Hg from NP-Hg is small.
