Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are harmful and widespread pollutants in the environment, posing an ecological threat. However, exploring the influence of PAHs on environmental bacterial communities in different habitats (soil, water, and sed...
Corn straws can produce bioethanol via simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF). However, identifying optimal combinations of operating parameters from numerous possibilities through a cost-effective strategy to improve SSCF efficienc...
The production of low-cost, small footprint imaging sensor would be invaluable for airborne global monitoring of pollen, which could allow for mitigation of hay fever symptoms. We demonstrate the use of a white light LED (light emitting diode) to ill...
The presence of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) in the environment poses a significant threat to environmental resources, given their potential risks to ecosystems and human health, even in trace amounts. While mathematical modellin...
Hydrothermal treatment (HTT) held promise for phosphorus (P) recovery from high-moisture biomass. However, traditional experimental studies of P hydrothermal conversion were time-consuming and labor-intensive. Thus, based on biomass characteristics a...
Karst soils often exhibit elevated zinc (Zn) levels, providing an opportunity to cultivate Zn-enriched crops. (meanwhile) However, these soils also frequently contain high background levels of toxic metals, particularly cadmium (Cd), posing potential...
Eutrophication is a major cause of water quality degradation in South Korea, owing to severe algal blooms. To manage eutrophication, the South Korean government provided the Trophic State Index (TSIko), which was revised according to Carlson's TSI. T...
Environmental contamination of microplastics (MPs) is ubiquitous worldwide, and co-contamination of arable soils with MPs and other pollutants is of increasing concern, and may lead to unexpected consequences on crop production. However, the overall ...
Excessive cadmium (Cd) in brown rice has detrimental effects on rice growth and human health. Water management is a cost-effective, eco-friendly measure to suppress Cd accumulation in rice. However, there is no acknowledged water management regime th...
Pteris vittata (P. vittata) possesses significant potential in remediating arsenic (As) soil pollution. Understanding the habitat suitability of P. vittata in China and pinpointing the key drivers that influence its distribution can facilitate the id...
