Phase distribution and probabilistic risk assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in indoor air of coffee shops at Zahedan, Iran

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of hydrocarbons, some of which are established human carcinogens. Human exposure to these chemicals is complex and originates from both indoor and outdoor sources. This study measured the concentration of PAHs in the gaseous and particulate phases during the cold months of 2022 using XAD-2 sorbent tubes and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filters in the indoor air of coffee shops in Zahedan, Iran (n = 23). The average concentrations of particulate-bound PAHs and gaseous PAHs were 13,411.86 ± 6517.24 ng/m³ and 6432.76 ± 4311.72 ng/m³, respectively. Source apportionment analyses indicated that the primary sources of PAHs in coffee shops were fossil fuel combustion and environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), commonly referred to as second and third-hand smoke. The lifetime cancer risk (LTCR) of inhaled PAHs was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation method. The mean LTCR for adults and children from inhaling these substances were 9.43 × 10-6 ± 5.06 × 10-6 and 5.34 × 10-6 ± 2.87 × 10-6, respectively. The hazard quotient (HQ) of PAHs exceeded 1. These findings highlight the need to reduce PAHs exposure in public spaces through proper health warning labels and regulated indoor smoking policies.

A phylogeographic approach to Sulawesi’s Maros karst shrimp fauna (Decapoda, Atyidae) reveals several cave invasions and challenges current taxonomic hypotheses

Abstract The unique endemic cave fauna of the Maros karst cave system (Sulawesi, Indonesia) includes atyid freshwater shrimps only known from their species descriptions. An extensive survey revealed a total of ten species in epigean and subterranean rivers: Two non-endemic, four species endemic to Sulawesi (genus Caridina) and four stygobiont species (genus Caridina, Marosina, and Parisia) only endemic to the Maros karst. A molecular phylogeny revealed (1) two independent colonizations of Sulawesi’s Maros karst caves by species of Caridina (Clade 1) derived from endemic ancestors, and (2) an exclusively stygobiont group (Clade 2, Marosina, Parisia) possibly derived from an amphidromous, anchialine cave-dweller. Our approach revealed another cryptic cave species of Caridina and challenges the taxonomic status of four Sulawesi endemics. In conclusion, the freshwater shrimps of the Maros karst are a challenging but rewarding group that can contribute to our understanding of the evolution of cave-dwelling species and atyid phylogenetics.

Cryptops (Trigonocryptops) didi sp. n. (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha: Cryptopidae): expanding the cryptopid biodiversity in a Brazilian hotspot of subterranean fauna

ABSTRACT A new troglobitic Cryptops species is described in Lage Branca Cave, Upper Ribeira karst, São Paulo state, Brazil. Cryptops (Trigonocryptops) didi sp. n. is closely related to Cryptops (T.) iporangensis Ázara and Ferreira, 2013 and Cryptops (T.) iheringi Brölemann, 1902. However, it differs from them in several aspects, including the number of saw teeth on the tibia and tarsus 1 of the ultimate legs, the sutures on the first antennal article, the sutures on the first trunk tergite, and the presence of trigonal sutures on the anterior sternites. Cryptops (Trigonocryptops) didi sp. n. is the second troglobitic species of Cryptops found in the caves of the Upper Ribeira karst area. This discovery enhances the diversity of troglobites in one of the richest cave systems in South America, the Areias Cave System. It also underscores the importance of ongoing faunistic inventories in one of the most extensively sampled areas for subterranean fauna in Brazil. We also transferred Cryptops (T.) iporangensis to the subgenus Cryptops Leach, 1814. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:7BAB8A6B-047B-4752-BD5C-34AF0BAE4195

Atacamite discolouration under the influence of arsenates in wall paintings in the Kizil Grottoes, Xinjiang, China

This study was focused on a specific blue‒green pigment applied on the edges of the green blocks of wall paintings in the Kizil Grottoes, the earliest Buddhist cave complex in China containing many wall paintings. Based on in situ portable XRF analyses, μ-Raman spectroscope, elemental analysis (SEM–EDS and EPMA-WDS) and μ-XRPD analyses, the pigment was proven to be lavendulan [NaCaCu5(AsO4)4Cl·5H2O], which has not been reported in ancient wall painting studies before. Lavendulan was found to coexist with atacamite [Cu2(OH)3Cl] in some of the samples in the study and showed a nanoneedle-like morphology. Further investigations of lavendulan revealed that it was probably not originally used as a pigment but was generated by the transformation of atacamite under the influence of arsenates [As(V)] and Na+. This phenomenon and the related mechanism were discovered in this study and are discussed in this paper. As an important cultural heritage site in the Silk Road, the Route Network of the Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor and the Kizil Grottoes are listed as UNESCO World and Natural Heritage sites. The pigment types and preservation conditions of wall paintings are similar to those of many wall paintings found along the Silk Road, and further attention should be given to this discolouration mechanism for heritage site conservation.

What we know and do not know after the first decade of Homo naledi.

It has been just over 10 years since the first fossils attributed to Homo naledi were recovered from the Rising Star Cave system in South Africa's Cradle of Humankind. The hominin fossil evidence for H. naledi displays a distinctive combination of primitive and derived morphology, yet for a time-averaged fossil sample it is remarkable for its relatively low level of variation. Thus-unusually for palaeoanthropology-there has been little pushback against the decision to recognize a single novel taxon for all of the material recovered from the Rising Star Cave system. However, almost everything else claimed about H. naledi-its age, burial context and behaviour-has been controversial. Here we examine the strength of the evidence for these claims.
