Groundwater, the water that resides beneath the Earth’s surface, serves as a crucial resource for human consumption, agriculture, and industrial activities [...]

The element geochemical behavior and provenance of marine sediments are of significance to understanding the oceanic material cycle. Here, we tested the grain size and major and trace elements of 35 surface sediments in the offshore area of Sierra Le...

This study investigates the pollution characteristics and environmental risks of crushed microplastics (MPs) generated during plastic recycling, emphasizing their adsorption capacity for heavy metals, particularly lead (Pb). SEM-EDS analysis revealed...

Challenges in the water supply sector have hindered the advanced implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) compared to other sectors. These challenges have not been sufficiently examined in the existing literature. An empirical study was conduct...

Bubble plumes are essential for promoting mass transfer, flow, and mixing in water bodies by generating vertical circulation via buoyancy forces. They are widely used in various applications, such as restoring water environments and improving the con...

The plate flowmeter offers a novel method for water flow measurement in small channels. Characterized by its simple construction, absence of siltation, and consistent relationship between the deflection angle and flow rate, this device possesses sign...

Large plastic items in the environment are degraded into tiny pieces known as microplastics (MPs). MP contamination in tropical lagoon ecosystems poses a significant pollution threat. The mud crab, Scylla serrata, is an important crustacean in the tr...

Water pollution caused by fluoranthene (FLN), phenanthrene (PHE), and pyrene (PYR) has become an increasingly serious issue in recent years. Consequently, finding effective methods to remove these pollutants from aquatic environments is of paramount...

Rainstorm disasters have wide-ranging impacts on communities, but traditional information collection methods are often hampered by high labor costs and limited coverage. Social media platforms such as Weibo provide new opportunities for monitoring an...

Diethyl phthalate (DEP) is a commonly utilized plasticizer that has gained significant attention due to its widespread occurrence in the environment and its harmful impact on human health. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate and compa...
