As persulfate activator, Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and derivatives are widely concerned in degradation of emerging environmental pollutants by advanced oxygen technology dominated by sulfate radical () (SR-AOPs). However, the poor stability and low catalytic efficiency limit the performance...

This paper analyzes the relationship between industrial structure transformation and pollutant emission changes in 86 cities in coastal areas of China from 2013 to 2017 and proves whether the optimization of the industrial structure of the service sector can play a positive role in restraining ...

Microbial catalase is a key enzyme that affects the activities of microorganisms, and the catalase activity is affected by pollutants in wastewater. However, the effects of mixed pollutants on catalase activity are rather complex. To reveal the effect of the mixed pollutants on catalase activity of ...

The photo-Fenton reaction was widely used in the removal of pollutants in waste water, which makes it exhibit great potential in the field of environmental remediation. Hence, it is crucial to explore a new efficient and stable photo-Fenton catalyst driven by visible light. In this work, a simple...

Background: Limited studies have examined the association between air pollutants and osteoporosis incidence; however, the results are conflicting. We aimed to quantify the effects of selected air pollutants on osteoporosis risk and explore the modifying effect of genetic predisposition. Methods: A...

Petrochemical wastewater is a major industrial source of pollution that produces a variety of refractory and toxic organic pollutants that are detrimental to animals and plants in natural water bodies; it is especially harmful to biological treatment systems. Regardless of these threats, studies on ...

Exposure to air pollution from solid-fuel cookstoves is a leading risk factor for premature death; however, the effect of fuel moisture content on air pollutant emissions from solid-fuel cookstoves remains poorly constrained. The objective of this work was to characterize emissions from a...

Background: Previous studies have indicated that chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonic acids (Cl-PFESAs), when used as an alternative to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), result in kidney toxicity. However, their co-exposure with heavy metals, has not yet been described. Objectives: ...

Biological acidification is an effective method in the treatment or pretreatment of industrial wastewater. Crotonaldehyde is a typical characteristic organic pollutant in petrochemical wastewater, but its effect on biological acidification is unclear. To investigate the inhibitory characteristic of ...

Increasing evidence has shown that exposure to air pollution is linked to adverse birth outcomes, but the results are not consistent. This study was performed on a subset of participants from the UK Biobank between 2006 and 2010. The land use regression (LUR) model was constructed to calculate the...
