Wetland environmental pollution has become a global problem involving the ecological environment and human health. This study measured the concentration of seven potentially toxic elements (PTEs Hg, Cd, Zn, Cu, Cr, Pb, and As) in the soil upstream of the Xinli Lake wetland in China. Based on the...

Application of native species as sentinels allows environmental scientists to determine real genotoxic impact of environmental pollutants. The present study aims at investigating the DNA damage in the land snail Helix lucorum as a biomarker of soil pollution. For this reason, the genotoxic impact...

Water pollution is increasing day by day due to the wastewater discharge from various industries. Different pollutants like pesticides, insecticides, bromate ions, heavy metals such as copper, zinc, antimony, lead, nickel, cadmium, mercury, etc. create various health and environmental problems due...

Background: Long-term exposure to air pollution and noise is detrimental to health; but studies that evaluated both remain limited. This study explores associations with natural and cause-specific mortality for a range of air pollutants and transportation noise. Methods: Over 4 million adults in...

The rapid development of animal husbandry has resulted in serious pollution issues in the livestock and poultry breeding industry, increasing the cost of environmental management. This issue is particularly prominent in China due to its rapid economic development, significant domestic consumption,...

Currently, microplastic pollution is more serious and complicates the toxic effects of other co-existing pollutants in the environment. However, the effect and mechanism of biodegradable plastics on the growth and metabolism of probiotic remain unclear. This work selected Bacillusamyloliquefaciens...

This study applied multivariate statistical analysis (MSA) to synthetic data simulated by a river water quality model to verify whether the MSA can correctly infer the pollution scenario assigned in the river water quality model. The results showed that when assessing the number and possible...

The biogas slurry (BS) is a kind of residue liquid of biogas produced by anaerobic fermentation with livestock and poultry manure as the main raw materials. The biogas project in China began in the 1970s. With the development of livestock and poultry farming, and anaerobic digestion technology of...

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 ...

Mass transfer efficiency and catalytic reactivity are the two major hurdles for heterogeneous catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) technologies. To address these issues, nanocomposite CuFeO₂/Al₂O₃ was synthesized and assessed as a novel catalyst for enhanced adsorption and oxidation of anionic ...
