Spatial Risks of Microplastics in Soils and the Cascading Effects Thereof.

Environmental science & technology
Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a significant global concern in soil systems. The spatial risk of MPs in soils, the cascading effects of climate, human activities, and air quality, and the ecosystem gradients from natural habitats, agricultura...

A new method for drinking water quality risk assessment based on data-driven.

Environmental geochemistry and health
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 (...

Holistic characterization of water quality parameters to understand the ecological impacts of eutrophication.

Marine pollution bulletin
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." ...

Surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater treatment plants in Türkiye, Istanbul: a long-term study and statistical analysis.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
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...

Low-Cost Particulate Matter Mass Sensors: Review of the Status, Challenges, and Opportunities for Single-Instrument and Network Calibration.

ACS sensors
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...

Challenges on the implementation of wastewater-based epidemiology as a prediction tool: the paradigm of SARS-CoV-2.

The Science of the total environment
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...

Modeling climate change impacts and predicting future vulnerability in the Mount Kenya forest ecosystem using remote sensing and machine learning.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
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...

Unraveling soil salinity on potentially toxic element accumulation in coastal Phragmites australis: A novel integration of multivariate and interpretable machine-learning models.

Marine pollution bulletin
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...

Uncovering rare earth and precious metal in landfill-mined soil-like-fractions: distribution prediction, ecological risk and resource potential.

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)...

Modelling and mapping of subsurface nitrate-attenuation index in agricultural landscapes.

Journal of environmental management
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...
