Abstract. It has been well recognized that black carbon is toxic for human health, while it is still controversial about the influence of functionalization on its toxicity as well as the evolution of its toxicity due to chemical aging in the atmosphere. In the current study, the oxidation potential measured by dithiothreitol (DTT) decay rate and the cytotoxicity to murine macrophage cells of different functionalized carbon nanomaterials, which were used as model sample of black carbon, were investigated for understanding the role of functionalization in the toxicity of black carbon. The DTT decay rates of special black 4A (SB4A), graphene, graphene oxide, single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), SWCNT-OH and SWCNT-COOH were 45.9±3.0, 58.5±6.6, 160.7±21.7, 38.9±8.9, 57.0±7.2 and 36.7±0.2 pmol min−1 μg−1, respectively. Epoxide was found to be mainly responsible for the largest DTT decay rate of graphene oxide compared with other materials based on comprehensive characterizations. Both carboxylation and hydroxylation showed little influence on the oxidation potential of these materials, while epoxidation contributes to the enhancement of oxidation potential. All these carbon nanomaterials were toxic to murine J774 cell line. However, oxidized carbon nanomaterials (graphene oxide, SWCNT-OH and SWCNT-COOH) showed weaker cytotoxicity to J774 cell line compared with the corresponding control sample as far as the metabolic activity was considered and stronger cytotoxicity to J774 cell line regarding to the membrane integrity and DNA incorporation. These results imply that epoxidation might enhance the oxidation potential of black carbon during transport in the atmosphere.

The effects of corrosion on the reinforced concrete structure due to carbonation affect its operation life. The research work considers a major critical component causing global warming as it studies the links between reinforced concrete deterioration mechanisms and anthropogenic carbon aerosol (black carbon soot) emissions in the atmosphere. Experimental tests were carried out to study the effect of carbonation caused by the emission of black carbon soot on mechanical properties and durability of reinforced concrete. Mass concrete and reinforced concrete prepared with Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in water/cement ratios ranging from 0.45 to 0.65 were used to produce concrete samples. Compressive strength tests, tensile strength test, and carbonation depth tests were carried out on concrete to determine its level of deterioration following the carbonation effect. The carbonation chamber was prepared with carbon soot of different concentrations to simulate different levels of black carbon soot in the atmosphere. Results showed that concrete compressive strength was not totally affected by carbonation, but there was reduction in the tensile strength of reinforcing steel. The carbonation depth was observed to progress deeper into the concrete with a longer duration of exposure to carbonation agents in the chamber. The result of this study will serve as a guide during concrete installations.
