Permanganate has been widely used in the remediation of contaminated water due to its relatively strong oxidation properties and ease of use. The ubiquitous dissolved organic matter (DOM) in natural waters causes a significant sink of permanganate in treatments, which further impacts the...

Due to the widespread use of medicine in recent years, antibiotics as the emerging pollutants have been widely detected in the aquatic environment. To address this situation, developing advanced treatment technologies to effectively remove antibiotics are emergently needed. Photocatalysis for the...

The emission of bauxite residue continues to grow with the increase of alumina production capacity, along with the large amounts of bauxite residue currently stored in stockpiles. The exposed problems of high yield, strong alkalinity, low comprehensive utilization rate, and threats to the...

Cleaner winter heating has been promoted to abate the winter air pollution in northern China. Although improvements in air quality have been observed, the effectiveness and mechanism of cleaner heating measures on air quality have not been examined on the empirical ground. In this study, we...

Around the globe, worsening air pollution is spawning major public health and environmental concerns, especially in the poorest and most populous cities. As a major secondary air pollutant, ozone is a potential risk factor for exacerbated asthma, although the underlying mechanisms remain uncertain. ...

Environmental performance is increasingly important in promoting officials, whose pursuit of promotions and related behavior may affect the health of residents in their jurisdictions. In this study, we spatially matched Chinese river water quality monitoring station data, enterprise pollution...

With the aim to analyze pollutant in water, an effective photocatalytic microreactor has been presented in this paper. The microreactor was made of soda-lime glass, and square wave microchannels were fabricated using wet etching. A titanium dioxide suspension was deposited on the microchannel wall...

The influences of weather and air pollutants on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been well-studied. However, the heterogeneous effects of different influenza viral infections, air pollution and weather on COPD admissions and re-admissions have not been thoroughly examined. In this...

Objective: This study aimed to study the relationship between air pollution and stroke (especially emergency stroke) in different regions and determine which air pollutant is the most significantly associated with stroke. Methods: The number of patients with emergency stroke, air pollutant data and ...

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), especially commercial decabrominated diphenyl ethers (c-decaBDE), have been widely produced and applied to numerous materials because of their highly effective flame-retardant capabilities. The production of commercial pentaBDE (c-pentaBDE) and commercial...
