The inherent complexity of modern supply chains obscures significant hidden CO2 and Water Pollution Equivalent (WPE) emissions, presenting mounting challenges for integrated environmental governance. While prior research has largely treated carbon an...
Co-contamination of the environment with toxic chlorinated organic and heavy metal pollutants is one of the major problems facing industrialized nations today. Heavy metals may inhibit biodegradation of chlorinated organics by interacting with enzyme...
The presence of recalcitrant organic compounds in oilfield-produced-water poses significant challenges for conventional biological treatment technologies. In this study, an Fe3+-augmented composite bioreactor was developed to enhance the multi-pollut...
Air pollution is a severe problem in the modern world. Urbanization, industrialization, and traffic emit air pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrous oxides (NOx), hydrocarbons (HCs), and particulate matter into the environment. Plants can ab...
Water temperature is a key ecological and metabolic factor in rivers and other continental systems, and thermal pollution caused by anthropogenic activities (dams, discharges, urban stormwater, industrial cooling) alters the natural thermal regime of...
Anammox, a reaction in which microorganisms oxidize ammonia under anaerobic conditions, is used in the industry to remove ammonium from wastewater in an environmentally friendly manner. This process does not produce intermediate products such as nitr...
The rapid growth of the human population and industrialization has intensified anthropogenic activities, leading to the release of various toxic chemicals into the environment, triggering significant risks to human health and ecosystem stability. One...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) present a critical challenge to global public health and environmental integrity due to the exceptional stability of the carbon–fluorine (C–F) bond. This review synthesizes current knowledge on...
