With the growing consensus of emerging pollutants and biological toxicity risks in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents, traditional water quality management based on general chemical parameters no longer meets the new challenges. Here, a firs...

Despite the urgent need for accurate and robust observations of microplastics in the marine environment to assess current and future environmental risks, existing procedures remain labour-intensive, especially for smaller-sized microplastics. In addi...
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...

The water chemical effects of copper have been a focus in the study of water quality criteria (WQC). Currently, multiple regression models are commonly used to quantitatively describe the impact of environmental factors on Cu toxicity in WQC studies....
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...

The presence of fine particulate matter (PM) indoors constitutes a significant component of overall PM exposure, as individuals spend 90% of their time indoors; however, personal monitoring for large cohorts is often impractical. In light of this, th...
Construction of cascade reservoirs has altered nutrient dynamics and biogeochemical cycles, thereby influencing the composition and productivity of river ecosystems. The Lancang River (LCR), characterized by its cascade reservoir system, presents unc...
Assessing groundwater quality typically involves labor-intensive, time-consuming, and costly laboratory tests, making real-time monitoring impractical, especially at the local level. Groundwater quality projections at the local scale using broad spat...
