Risk assessment of water quality plays a crucial role in sustainable management of water resource. However, evaluating drinking water quality risk for different types of water within the same framework is a challenging task. The Water Quality Index (...
The naturally oligotrophic waters of the Florida Keys, U.S.A., can be impacted by small increases in nutrients, which are reflected by increased phytoplankton productivity and over time, produce hypoxic conditions, a process called "eutrophication." ...

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a powerful method that allows community surveillance to identify diseases/pandemic dynamics in a city, especially in metropolitan areas with high overpopulation. This study investigated the detection and quantif...
As an emerging atmospheric monitoring technology, low-cost sensors for particulate matter of diameters below 2.5 μm (PMLCSs) supplement traditional air quality monitoring instruments. Because their stability and accuracy are typically low, they requi...
Wastewater Based Epidemiology (WBE) has been identified as a tool for monitoring and predicting patterns of SARS-CoV-2 in communities. Several factors may lead to a day-to-day variation in the measurement of viral genetic material. Wastewater samples...

The Mount Kenya forest ecosystem (MKFE), a crucial biodiversity hotspot and one of Kenya's key water towers, is increasingly threatened by climate change, putting its ecological integrity and vital ecosystem services at risk. Understanding the intera...
Revealing the key mechanisms influencing the behavior of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in soil-plant systems is of great significance for environmental protection and grassland development in coastal areas. This study utilized redundancy analysis...
Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)

The introduction of rare earth elements (REEs) and precious metals (PMs) containing wastes in aged landfills leads to a significant pollutant and resource potential. Against this backdrop, the accumulation of REEs and PMs in soil-like-fractions (SLF)...
Environmental management of nutrient losses from agricultural lands is required to reduce their potential impacts on the quality of groundwater and eutrophication of surface waters in agricultural landscapes. However, accurate accounting and manageme...
