As typical pollutants, petroleum hydrocarbons that are widely present in various environmental media such as soil, water, sediments, and air, seriously endanger living organisms and human health. In the meantime, as a green environmental technology that integrates pollutant removal and resource...

Wastewater reclamation and reuse is an increasing global project, while the reclamation treatment on wastewater does not completely remove all pollutants in water. The residual pollutants in reclaimed water would cause potential risk on human health and ecosystem safety during the long-term use. It ...

Lipid is one of the four major biochemical molecules, and it plays important roles in many life processes. Lipid peroxidation (LPO) is commonly used to measure the effect of environmental pollutants or contamination factors on biochemistry processes. In this review, we summarized different kinds of ...

Environmental pollution is increasingly becoming a serious global challenge due to various pollutants. Cellulose nanomaterials (CNMs) based membranes originated from green resources and sustainable processes are expected to have great potential in environmental applications due to their nanoscale...

Using the balanced panel data of 283 cities at the level of municipality or above in China from 2014 to 2017, this study adopts the system generalized method of moments (SGMM) and panel threshold model to study the relationship among city size, urban-rural income gap and environmental pollution....

An increasing number of epidemiological studies have examined air pollution as a possible contributor to adverse sleep health, but results are mixed. The aims of this systematic review are to investigate and summarize the associations between exposures to air pollutants and various sleep measures...

The widespread application of quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC) has posed a serious hazard to the environment and human being, and high concentration of Cl^- in QAC wastewater may further increase the difficulty of pollutants elimination. In this study, such a QAC wastewater under high salinity...

The hypothesis of "Pollution Heaven" or "Pollution Halo" has, for some time, been one of the central issues in environmental economics. There is a controversy in the conclusions with regards to China, it thus needs further empirical testing. Based on 2003 to 2016 statistical data on 285 Chinese...

Taking the construction of high-speed rail as a "quasi-natural experiment", the panel data of 26 cities in the Yangtze River Delta from 2004 to 2018 were selected as samples, and a difference-in-differences model was constructed to study the impact of high-speed rail construction on air pollutant...

Bio-trickling filters (BTFs) can be used to remediate pollution by volatile organic compounds such as toluene. To investigate the effect of filler voidage on pressure drop (ΔP), two parallel BTFs were constructed using ceramsite with different voidages (47.5% for BTF1 and 55% for BTF2) and...
