Reclaimed water is an important alternative water supply because it solves the water shortage problem. This manuscript is intended to provide a critical review of recent publications that address future reclaimed water requirements and analyze and visualize historical trends, research hot topics...

Surfactants widely exist in various kinds of wastewaters which could be treated by pressure-driven membrane separation (PDMS) techniques. Due to the special characteristics of surfactants, they may affect the performance of membrane filtration. Over the last two decades, there are a number of...

The risk assessment of groundwater pollution sources plays an important role in groundwater protection, the divisions of pollution prevention and control areas. However, existing methods underestimate the potential risk of combined pollution of groundwater from point sources. In order to evaluate...

Soil nitrogen dioxide (NO_X = NO₂ + NO) emissions have been measured and estimated to be the second most significant contributor to the NO_X burden following the fossil fuel combustion source globally. NO_X emissions from croplands are subject to being underestimated or overlooked in air pollution...

Background: Epidemiological findings are inconsistent regarding the associations between air pollution exposure during pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Several limitations exist in previous studies, including potential outcome and exposure misclassification, unassessed...

China was seriously affected by air pollution in the past decade, especially for particulate matter (PM) and emerging ozone pollution recently. In this study, we systematically examined the spatiotemporal variations of six air pollutants and conducted ozone prediction using machine learning (ML)...

Non-road construction equipment (NRCE) has become a crucial contributor to urban air pollution. However, the current research on NRCE is still in its infancy, and the understanding of its pollutant emissions is not yet clear. In this study, multi-pollutant (CO, HC, NOx, PM_2.5, and BC) and CO₂...

Combined pollution in groundwater has become increasingly serious. Adding emulsified vegetable oil to an aquifer is an effective method to remediate multiple pollutants. However, the efficiency and threshold values for the remediation of groundwater contaminated by both nitrate and hexavalent...

This paper aims to identify the atmospheric boundary layer turbulence structure and its effect on severe foggy haze events frequently occurring in Northern China. We use data collected from a ground eddy covariance system, meteorology tower, and a PM_2.5 collector in Baoding, China during December...

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...
