Seasonal Trends, Profiles, and Exposure Risk of PM2.5-bound Bisphenol Analogs in Ambient Outdoor Air: A Study in Shanghai, China by Janvier Munyaneza, Fahim A. Qaraah, Qilong Jia, Hanting Cheng, Huajun Zhen, Guangli Xiu

“…The highest average concentrations (BPA: 3.47 ng m−3; BPF: 2.46 ng m−3; BPS: 0.58 ng m−3, and bisphenol AF (BPAF): 1.14 ng m−3) were found within samples collected in winter periods. A strong and positive correlation was denoted between the concentrations of BPA and bisphenol B (BPB) (r = 0.719, p < 0.05), when an inversely significant correlation was noticed between BPA and BPF (r = –0.264, p < 0.05). …”

Asynchronous variation in the holocene asian monsoon recorded by marine sediments and its implication by Jun Yang, Guanglu Zhang, Yanyan Zhao, Yanyan Zhao, Zhishun Zhang, Sheng Liu, Haotian Wei, Xiaoqiang Guo, Guangyao Cao, Lei Yang, Yaru Zhang, Sanzhong Li, Sanzhong Li

“…Two modes indicate the warming of the SSTA during the late Holocene, which may be attributed to rising pCO2, a strengthening El Niño, and a weakening of the East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM). Furthermore, we observe a partial overlap between the site distribution of the MH-peak and the modern monsoon precipitation domains, which may indicate the shift in the mean latitudinal position of the ITCZ and the dynamics of the monsoon precipitation domains.…”
