The high environmental pollution load caused by the massive pollutant emissions and the accumulation of endogenous and cross-regional pollution has become an important obstacle to the current ecological civilization construction in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) in China. Taking the YREB...

In the context of the national strategy of high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, studying the distribution characteristics, environmental behavior and the ecological risks of emerging pollutants in the sediments of the Yellow River Basin is an important basis for improving the ...

Purpose: Environmental pollution is a world-wide problem, heavy metals belonging to the most important pollutants. The progress of industries has led to increased emission of pollutants into ecosystems. Tajan is one of navigable river in the North of Iran. Along the Tajan agricultural industries...

Understanding the discharge characteristics of pollution sources and their differences in geographical space is an important basis for improving water pollution control level in basin scale. Discharge characteristic evaluation and cluster analysis of basic water pollutants in 60 cities in the...

Traditional method of estimating pollution loads may neglect the internal spatial heterogeneity of socio-economic driving factors, which can result in overestimate and underestimate of pollution loads. In this study, the corrected approach to estimating total phosphorus (TP) pollution load was...

Pollutant flux estimation and the analysis of flux variations are the basis for water quality assessment and water pollution control. At present, pollution flux estimation has certain shortcomings, such as a low frequency of water quality monitoring and inadequate calculation methods. To improve...

Wastewater is contaminated water that must be treated before it may be transferred into other rivers and lakes in order to prevent further groundwater pollution. Over the last decade, research has been conducted on a wide variety of contaminants, but the emerging contaminants are those caused...

Although microplastics are an emerging pollutant of global concern, little is known about the environmental behavior of microplastic in sediments. This study investigated the occurrence and seasonal variation of microplastics in the sediments of Liangfeng River, China with a fluorescence staining...

In this study, the spatiotemporal variabilities and characteristics of ozone (O₃) and fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) were reconstructed, and the interaction between meteorological conditions and the co-occurrence of O₃ and PM_2.5 in Zhuhai, a city in the Pearl River Delta (China), was analysed. The ...

With the rapid development of economy and the acceleration of urbanization, research on water pollution control needs to be carried out in the heavily polluted Yangtze River Basin, including the modeling and optimization of pollutant removal processes, the optimization control of sewage treatment...
