Environmental risk factors have been implicated in adverse health effects. Previous epidemiological studies on environmental risk factors mainly analyzed the impact of single pollutant exposure on health, while in fact, humans are constantly exposed to a complex mixture consisted of multiple ...

Analyzing the influencing factors of environmental pollution is of utmost significance for formulating pollution control strategies. However, the extant research did not take into consideration the spatial effects, which may result in an insufficient understanding of the results. To explore the...

Permanganate has been widely used in the remediation of contaminated water due to its relatively strong oxidation properties and ease of use. The ubiquitous dissolved organic matter (DOM) in natural waters causes a significant sink of permanganate in treatments, which further impacts the...

Household air pollution is the dominant contributor to population air pollutant exposure, but it is often of less concern compared with ambient air pollution. One of the major knowledge gaps in this field are detailed quantitative source contributions of indoor pollutants, especially for gaseous...

Background: Growing studies suggest that air pollution exposure is an emerging driver for neurological diseases, but existing evidence on the association between air pollution and epilepsy is scarce. Here, we aimed to quantitatively estimated the short-term effects of various air pollutants on...

Background: Serious organic pollution in aquatic environments threatens the quality of drinking water. Long-term low-dose exposure to multiple organic pollutants in drinking water poses potential hazards to human health. Objective: This study investigates the pollution of 69 organic compounds in...

The mass production and wide application of plastics and their derivatives have led to the release of a large number of discarded plastic products into the natural environment, where they continue to accumulate due to their low recycling rate and long durability. These large pieces of plastic will...

Industrial boilers are a significant anthropogenic source of air pollutant emissions. In this study, a county-based atmospheric emission inventory of particulate matter (PM), PM₁₀, PM_2.5, SO₂, NOx, organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) from industrial boilers over mainland China in 2017 was ...

Greenness could theoretically increase the impact of physical activity (PA) and reduce the adverse effects of air pollution on overweight/obesity. However, no evidence systematically compares these two pathways, especially in longitudinal studies of children and adolescent's cohort. Greenness, PA,...

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...
