Comparing the Effect of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen on the Concentration of Dissolved Oxygen in Elodea canadensis
No full textWater is the essential substance within our environment that fills basic needs for all organisms (Chopra & Kumar, 2020). Research shows that potentially toxic pharmaceuticals enter our water system due to prevalence of human pharmaceutical use. As these drugs enter the water system, they have a high likelihood of impacting the health and growth of other organisms that rely on this water usage. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of commonly ingested pharmaceuticals and their impact on plant growth and the concentration of dissolved oxygen. It was hypothesized that a common plant, Elodea canadensis, would have the lowest concentration of dissolved oxygen once treated with a solution of 25 mg/L of ibuprofen. This group was hypothesized to be the most affected based on research on other plants, Ibuprofen causes problems in the chloroplast and acetaminophen has not been tested thoroughly on plants(Magdalena et al.,2022). In order to test the hypotheses, three separate groups of plants were treated with a different solution: ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and distilled water (control). The Elodea canadensis was measured through the concentration of dissolved oxygen, plant growth and physical features daily. A One-Way Anova test was conducted to analyze and compare the data. Results from this study indicated that plants with either solution had decreased quality of life, with acetaminophen impacting quality of life most therefore rejecting the hypothesis

No full textUnderstanding how secondary aerosols form in the atmosphere is one of the main uncertainties for a better understanding of global warming. Secondary aerosols form from gas-phase molecules that combine to create prenucleation complexes, which can then grow to form aerosols. The study of the formation of prenucleation complexes is difficult from both an experimental and theoretical point of view. Sulfuric acid has been linked to the formation of aerosols, yet the details of interactions are not understood. We have completed an exhaustive study of the formation of prenucleation complexes of three strong acids: sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and hydrochloric acid, combined with ammonia and dimethylamine bases, and three water molecules. By combining an evolutionary algorithm search routine with density functional geometry optimizations and single-point electronic energy calculations with complete basis set (CBS) extrapolations, we have completed an exhaustive search of the DLPNO-CCSD(T)/CBS//ωB97X-D/6-31++G** Gibbs free energy surface for this system. We have used previous work where the weaker formic acid replaces either nitric acid or hydrochloric acid to explore the details of how three acids combine with two bases and a few water molecules to make prenucleation clusters. As clusters grow, stabilizing effects of nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and formic acid change in unique ways. This research adds to the body of work that illustrates that, depending on the system being studied, the acid/base strength of the monomers, the charge distribution within the clusters, and the detailed hydrogen bond topology have a subtle interplay that determines which cluster is most stable
