To understand the health impact represented by exposure to current atmospheric pollution in China, an environmental health indicators (EHIs) system of atmospheric pollution was established. The EHIs were based on comprehensive consideration of environment, population, economy and diseases...

In recent years, with the rapid development of the food industry, the accompanying food wastewater pollution has become increasingly serious, which has become one of the most important sources of industrial wastewater and even water pollution in China. However, the traditional food wastewater...

Little is known about the particles attached on the surfaces of coarse (> 150 μm) road-deposited sediments (RDS), which are potential contributors of stormwater pollution. Therefore, the size distributions and heavy metal (including Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr, and Ni) pollution of RDS were evaluated taking...

Air pollution is continuing to be at a high level in China, which may lead to an increased risk of obesity and hypertension. In the study, we aimed to examine the association between air pollution and prevalence of hypertension and tested whether this air pollution and hypertension association was...

Growing epidemiological evidence has shown that exposure to ambient air pollution contributes to poor sleep quality. However, whether variability in air pollution exposure affects sleep quality remains unclear. Based on a large sample in China, this study linked individual air pollutant exposure...

Wastewater treatment plants are expected to realize not only pollutants removal from wastewater but also resources recovery such as phosphorus (P) and alginate-like exopolysaccharides (ALE) from the produced sludge. In this study, ALE extraction and fractionation from the same activated...

Air pollution remains one of the major health threats around the world. Compared to adults, foetuses and infants are more vulnerable to the effects of environmental toxins. Maternal exposure to air pollution causes several adverse birth outcomes and may lead to life-long health consequences. Given...

The preparation of adsorbents with eco-friendly and high-efficiency characteristics is an important approach for pollutant removal, and can relieve the pressure of water shortage and environmental pollution. In recent studies, much attention has been paid to the potential of hydrothermal...

There has been increasing concern about the health effects of air pollution in China, and many measures have been implemented to control air pollution. To investigate the impacts of air quality improvement on mortality from non-accidental causes (NAD), cardiovascular disease (CD), and respiratory...

Organic phenolic pollutants in industrial wastewater cause severe environmental pollution and physiological damage. Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogels generally have poor mechanical strength and are also intrinsically frangible, limiting their widespread applications in wastewater...
