Abstract

Eighty agricultural topsoil samples were collected near the Three Gorges Dam region of Yangtze River, China, to investigate concentrations, distribution patterns, and possible sources and potential cancer risks of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in this area. Total PAHs concentrations in agricultural topsoil ranged from 277.79 to 3,217.20 ng g(-1) (ppb) with a mean concentration of 1,023.48 +/- 815.31 ng g(-1). Total concentrations of seven carcinogenic PAHs (C-PAHs) were between 45.85 ng g(-1) and 1,147.45 ng g(-1), accounting for 6% to 49% of the total PAHs. Total PCBs concentrations varied from 18.56 to 183.90 ng g(-1) with a mean concentration of 35.28 +/- 41.01 ng g(-1). Positive linear correlations were found between total PAHs and total PCBs, showing these compounds may originate from common sources. Isomer ratios analysis indicated that atmospheric deposition was the main common source for PAHs and PCBs. The incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) of PCBs in agricultural topsoil near the Three Gorges Dam region were all below 10(-6), indicating no cancer risk, whereas ILCR of PAHs were between 10(-6) and 10(-4); special attention needs to be paid to PAHs in the study area.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
