Diffuse pollution of the soil by phthalates and heavy metals causes numerous concerns. Their respective fates when coexisting require further investigation. In this study, di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and Cd/Cu were used as subjects, focusing on their behavior in Mollisols under combined ...

Having high spatio-temporal resolution data of pollutants is critical to understand environmental pollution patterns and their mechanisms. Our research employs the hourly average concentration data on the air quality index (AQI) and its six component pollutants (PM_2.5, PM₁₀, SO₂, NO₂, CO, and O₃)...

In terms of researching and treating farmland pollution, interactions between organic and inorganic pollutants are very important aspects. Herein, the effects of heavy metals on di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) adsorption in soil were investigated. The presence of Cd²⁺/Cu²⁺ increased the...

Since the 1970s, Japan has promulgated a series of soil pollution prevention and control laws, which have been continuously improved and revised according to the changes of population, resources and economic structure. Thus, Japan has gradually established a set of systematic soil pollution...

The use of oil-based drilling fluids in shale gas exploration areas can cause soil to be contaminated by petroleum.It is significant to explore the environmental behavior of petroleum pollutants in soil for the remediation of petroleum-contaminated soil. Fuling shale gas exploitation area was...

ReS₂-based heterostructures, which involve the coupling of a narrow band-gap semiconductor ReS₂ with other wide band-gap semiconductors, have shown promising performance in energy conversion and environmental pollution protection in recent years. This review focuses on the preparation methods,...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of toxic organic pollutants. Until now, they have been detected in many regions and various environmental matrix. However, not all PAHs are usually detected by researchers, and no methods is established to analyze systematically hundreds of PAHs....

Manufacturing high-performance activated carbon (AC) materials from abundant biomass at low temperature and short activation time is targeted by the green and sustainable chemical industry. Here, a 1980 m²/g of carbon nanospheres-anchored porous carbon material (PHAC) derived from waste sawdust was ...

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a classic environmental pollutant, is reported to accumulate in brain and induce neurotoxicity. However, little is known the route and mechanism of its entrance in brain. In the present study, ICR mice were treated with PFOS for 28 days, the cerebral PFOS were...

As the ecological barrier of a lake environment, lakebanks with plant/soil/microorganism systems play roles in runoff sink function. However, without proper control, the pollutants absorbed by plants can remain in plant litter and return to the water body in the plant fall season, resulting in...
