Efforts to eliminate environmental pollution are becoming more and more important. Because, with the rapidly increasing world population and technological developments, natural resources are rapidly being destroyed. In this respect, it is widely believed that 100 years later, human beings will...

Among environmental remediation technologies, iron-manganese oxides were employed as a material to prevent environmental pollution basing on its high specific surface area and strong adsorption capacity. In recent years, iron-manganese oxide composite has been combined with graphene, zeolite,...

The pollution situation of antimony (Sb), beryllium (Be), cobalt (Co), and vanadium (V) is poorly understood, although they are widely used in daily life and production processes. Moreover, threshold levels ("soil environmental criteria", SEC) for these pollutants are lacking in China, which...

This article discusses the different types of environmental pollution (i.e. air, noise, water, and soil pollution), their associated human health hazards, and their role in greenhouse effect/global warming, eutrophication, and ozone depletion. Positive actions that should be undertaken to avoid...

Background: The impact of environmental pollution (such as air pollution) on health costs has received a great deal of global attention in the last 20 years. Methods: This review aims to summarize the theoretical analysis model of air pollution affecting health costs, and further explore the...

The transport of agricultural nonpoint source (NPS) pollutants in water pathways is affected by various factors such as precipitation, terrain, soil erosion, surface and subsurface flows, soil texture, land management, and vegetation coverage. In this study, based on the transmission mechanism of...

Bioremediation is an innovative and promising technology available for the removal and recovery of heavy metals from contaminated media. Bioremediation uses organisms to absorb heavy metals at low cost and with no secondary pollution. Bioremediation by macrofungi that degrade pollutants or wastes...

Air quality in Europe is not good enough and a significant part of the population, especially in urban areas, is exposed to the effects of its pollutants. The present study aims to analyze and summarize data on the state of ambient air, the environmental impact of air pollution and the current...

Biochar has been widely applied in soil remediation and water pollution control due to its high stability, excellent surface properties, high-developed pore structure and rich surface functional groups. In this paper, the research progress of biochar application to treatment of various pollutants...

This study aimed to determine whether perceived environmental pollution is associated with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) or SCD-related functional difficulties. We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from a nationwide sample of 191,054 individuals aged ≥19 years from the 2018 Korea...
