The accuracy of life cycle assessment (LCA) studies is often questioned due to the two grand challenges of life cycle inventory (LCI) modeling: (1) missing foreground flow data and (2) inconsistency in background data matching. Traditional mechanisti...
The aging process of microplastics (MPs) affects their surface physicochemical properties, thereby influencing their behaviors in releasing harmful chemicals, adsorption of organic contaminants, sinking, and more. Understanding the aging process is c...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a distinctive class of nanoporous materials with considerable potential across a wide range of applications. Recently, a handful of MOFs has been explored for the storage of environmentally hazardous fluorina...
Accurately mapping ground-level ozone concentrations at high spatiotemporal resolution (daily, 1 km) is essential for evaluating human exposure and conducting public health assessments. This requires identifying and understanding a proxy that is well...
Direct nitrous oxide (NO) emissions from fertilizer application are the largest anthropogenic source of global NO, but the factors influencing these emissions remain debated. Here, we compile 1134 observations of fertilizer-induced NO emission factor...
Fine-mode aerosol optical depth (fAOD) is a vital proxy for the concentration of anthropogenic aerosols in the atmosphere. Currently, the limited data length and high uncertainty of the satellite-based data diminish the applicability of fAOD for clim...
Accurate prediction of parameters related to the environmental exposure of chemicals is crucial for the sound management of chemicals. However, the lack of large data sets for training models may result in poor prediction accuracy and robustness. Her...
Anaerobic biodegradation rates (half-lives) of organic chemicals are pivotal for environmental risk assessment and remediation. Traditional experimental evaluation, constrained by prolonged, oxygen-free conditions, struggles to keep pace with emergin...
The denitrifying sulfur (S) conversion-associated enhanced biological phosphorus removal (DS-EBPR) process for treating saline wastewater is characterized by its unique microbial ecology that integrates carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and S...
