Organic Fenton-like catalysis has been recently developed for water purification, but redox-active compounds have to be ex situ added as oxidant activators, causing secondary pollution problem. Electrochemical oxidation is widely used for pollutant degradation, but suffers from severe electrode...

Epidemiological studies have reported significant associations of outdoor NO₂ with daily mortality. These studies used ambient NO₂ concentrations as a proxy of personal exposure of outdoor-originated NO₂ (PEO NO₂), which may lead to biased health effect estimates. This study was aiming to explore...

The pollution issues with urban rivers is one of the key factors affecting the urban ecological environment, and water pollution control has become the top task for urban ecological construction. The first step of controlling water environment pollution is to have an objective knowledge of the...

The influence of regional transport on aerosol pollution has been explored in previous studies based on numerical simulation or surface observation. Nevertheless, owing to inhomogeneous vertical distribution of air pollutants, vertical observations should be conducted for a comprehensive...

The polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane has received considerable attention as a flexible surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate due to its excellent mechanical and physicochemical properties. However, the poor fouling resistance of PVDF membrane due to its intrinsic hydrophobic...

According to the characteristics of desulfurization wastewater, A new capacitive deionization (CDI) device was designed to study the desalination characteristics of desulfurization wastewater in this paper. The experiments investigated the desalination efficiency under different conditions which...

There is limited evidence regarding the relationship between air pollution and pediatric asthma in developing countries. This study aimed to investigate the association between short-term exposure to ambient air pollutants and pediatric asthma emergency department (ED) visits in Shanghai, China. We ...

Many environmental chemicals have been found to exert estrogenic effects in cells and experimental animals by activating nuclear receptors such as estrogen receptors and estrogen-related receptors. These compounds include bisphenols, pesticides, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs),...

The removal of environmental pollutants is important for a sustainable ecosystem and human health. Shewanella oneidensis (S. oneidensis) has diverse electron transfer pathways and can use a variety of contaminants as electron acceptors or electron donors. This paper reviews S. oneidensis's function ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important cardiovascular disease that causes a great burden of disease. However, there is limited evidence of a link between air pollution exposure and AF. This study aimed to explore the short-term association between air pollution and AF. We obtained daily...
