(IF 9.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-15 Xin Gao, Jing Yang, Jingyang Song, Shanshan Wu, Minghan Li, Jianing Li, Xiaofeng Chen, Hui Qin, Haiyang Luan, Zhiqiang Chen, Kongjian Yu, Wei Liu
Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been developed rapidly as a sustainable water treatment technique. However, the capability of CWs for remediating the contaminated water based on toxicity assessment remains largely unknown. Four surface flow CWs and two integrated surface-subsurface flow CWs, from five cities in central and eastern region of China were evaluated, concerning the adverse effects of effluents

RPCA-based techniques for pattern extraction, hotspot identification and signal correction using data from a dense network of low-cost NO2 sensors in London Sci. Total Environ. (IF 9.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-15 Martin Bogaert, Christian Mouritzen, Matthew S. Johnson, Maarten van Reeuwijk
High-density low-cost air quality sensor networks are a promising technology to monitor air quality at high temporal and spatial resolution. However the collected data is high-dimensional and it is not always clear how to best leverage this information, particularly given the lower data quality coming from the sensors. Here we report on the use of robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA) using nitrogen

Speciation, bioaccumulation, and toxicity of the newly deposited atmospheric heavy metals in soil-earthworm (Eisenia fetida) system near a large copper smelter Sci. Total Environ. (IF 9.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Hailong Liu, Haotian Wang, Huan Zhao, Hu Wang, Ruizhi Xia, Xiaozhi Wang, Min Li, Jun Zhou
The speciation, bioaccumulation, and toxicity of the newly deposited atmospheric heavy metals in the soil-earthworm () system were investigated by a fully factorial atmospheric exposure experiment using soils exposed to 0.8-year and 1.8-year atmospheric depositions. The results shown that the newly deposited metals (Cu, Cd, and Pb) primarily accumulated in the topsoil (0–6 cm) and were present as the

Total coliforms, microbial diversity and multiple characteristics of Salmonella in soil-irrigation water-fresh vegetable system in Shaanxi, China Sci. Total Environ. (IF 9.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Qiuping Yang, Jin Chen, Jinghan Dai, Yuanjie He, Kexin Wei, Mengqing Gong, Qinquan Chen, Huanjing Sheng, Li Su, Lisha Liu, Jia Chen, Li Bai, Shenghui Cui, Baowei Yang
Global occurrences of foodborne disease outbreaks have been documented, involving fresh agricultural produce contaminated by various pathogens. This contamination can occur at any point in the supply chain. However, studies on the prevalence of total coliforms, and microbial diversity in vegetable and associated environments are limited. This study aimed to assess 1) the number of total coliforms ( = 299)

Identification of atmospheric ozone generated from seismic activity during the occurrence of multiple earthquakes across Japan in 2022 Sci. Total Environ. (IF 9.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Hiroshi Sakugawa
Ground-level atmospheric ozone (tropospheric ozone) is a well-known indicator of photochemical air pollution. Atmospheric ozone may also be an indicator of earthquake generation. Ground-level observations of atmospheric ozone at multiple sites were conducted in this study at the time of multiple earthquake occurrences in Japan in 2022. As the result of this study, ozone peaks of unknown origin were

Wastewater-based estimation of diabetes mellitus prevalence in 237 cities: A cross-China study Sci. Total Environ. (IF 9.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Xinxin Zhou, Shucheng Liu, Manlei Zhang, Chen Shi, Mengyi Chen, Chenzhi Hou, Bin Di
Diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia, has been witnessed as a rapidly escalating worldwide health crisis. China currently had 140.9 million diabetic population in 2021, which was the largest globally. DM has witnessed a significant surge in the past few decades, leading to an alarming rise in the overall burden caused by this disease. To monitor the near real-time DM

Uptake of cyclic C6O4 in maize and tomato: Results from a greenhouse study Sci. Total Environ. (IF 9.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Elisa C. Bizzotto, Giovanni Libralato, Antonino de Natale, Petra Scanferla, Marco Vighi, Antonio Marcomini
Cyclic CO (cCO, CAS number 1190931-27-1) is a perfluoralkyl ether used as a polymerization aid in the synthesis of fluoropolymers and produced since 2011 as substitute of PFOA. This work reports the first data on bioaccumulation of cCO on terrestrial plants (maize and tomato). In general, the observed accumulation and translocation of cCO in plants is low or negligible. For maize a bioconcentration

Nitrogen in landfills: Sources, environmental impacts and novel treatment approaches Sci. Total Environ. (IF 9.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-14 Shan Zhao, Qiteng Zheng, Hao Wang, Xinyao Fan
Nitrogen (N) accumulation in landfills is a pressing environmental concern due to its diverse sources and significant environmental impacts. However, there is relatively limited attention and research focus on N in landfills as it is overshadowed by other more prominent pollutants. This study comprehensively examines the sources of N in landfills, including food waste contributing to 390 million tons
