Soil protists are essential but often overlooked in soils, although they play crucial functional roles in the terrestrial ecosystem. While soil protists have drawn increased attention to their functional role in soils, their interaction with soil pollutants remains unresolved. This review provides...

The open-pit coal mine dump in the study area contains many low-concentration heavy metal pollutants, which may cause pollution to the soil interface. Firstly, statistical analysis and geostatistical spatial interpolation methods described heavy metal pollution's spatial distribution. The mine dump ...

Based on the cloud computing, big data and Internet, the information technology has been applied in various fields, especially in the prevention and control of agricultural pollution. Aiming at the characteristics and the problems of the current agricultural environmental pollution control, the...

Soil pollution has become a real threat to mankind in the 21st century. On the one hand, soil pollution has reduced the world's arable land area, resulting in the contradiction between the world's population expansion and the shortage of arable land. On the other hand, soil pollution has seriously...

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...

In this study, changes in the permeability characteristics of a geotextile-polynorbornene liner at different oil pollutant contact times were evaluated. Experiments and numerical analyses were performed, and ASTM D5887 and ASTM D6766 were applied as test methods. The test results show that, when...

The contamination of soil with organic pollutants has been accelerated by agricultural and industrial development and poses a major threat to global ecosystems and human health. Various chemical and physical techniques have been developed to remediate soils contaminated with organic pollutants, but ...

China was seriously affected by air pollution in the past decade, especially for particulate matter (PM) and emerging ozone pollution recently. In this study, we systematically examined the spatiotemporal variations of six air pollutants and conducted ozone prediction using machine learning (ML)...

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...
