As microplastic (MP) particles continue to spread globally, their pervasive presence is increasingly problematic. Analyzing MPs in matrices as varied as soil, river water, and biosolid fertilizers is critical, as these matrices directly impact the fo...
Selenium (Se) is an indispensable trace element to human health, yet its biological tolerance threshold is relatively narrow. The potential application of machine learning methods to indirectly predict the Se content in crops across regional areas, t...
Climate change and human activities affect the biomass of different algal and the succession of dominant species. In the past, phytoplankton phyla inversion has been focused on oceanic and continental shelf waters, while phytoplankton phyla inversion...
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease with a variety of symptoms including, persistent coughing and mucus production, shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness. As the disease advances, exacerbations, i.e. a...

Papermaking wastewater consists of a sizable amount of industrial wastewater; hence, real-time access to precise and trustworthy effluent indices is crucial. Because wastewater treatment processes are complicated, nonlinear, and time-varying, it is e...
Microplastic (MP) pollution poses serious environmental and public health concerns, requiring efficient detection methods. Conventional techniques have the limitations of labor-intensive workflows and complex instrumentation, hindering rapid on-site ...

Airborne fungi are major contributors to substandard indoor air quality, with potential implications for public health, especially in public facilities. The risk of chronic exposure can be significantly reduced by accurately predicting airborne funga...
The persistence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in surface water can pose risks to ecosystems, while due to data limitations, the occurrence, risks, and future trends of PFAS at large scales remain unknown. This study investigated the e...
