Urban fragmented vegetable fields offer fresh produce but pose a potential risk of heavy metal (HM) exposure. Thus, this study investigated HM sources and health risks in the soil-vegetable systems of Chongqing's central urban area. Results indicated...
Climate change has a significant impact on dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations, particularly in coastal inlets where numerous human activities occur. Due to the various water quality (WQ), hydrological, and climatic parameters that influence this ph...
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: The use of machine learning for air pollution modelling is rapidly increasing. We conducted a systematic review of studies comparing statistical and machine learning models predicting the spatiotemporal variation of ambient ni...
Fine particulate matter (PM) is a major air pollutant affecting human survival, development and health. By predicting the spatial distribution concentration of PM, pollutant sources can be better traced, allowing measures to protect human health to b...
This study aims to address accuracy challenges in assessing air pollution health impacts using Environmental Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program (BenMap), caused by limited meteorological factor data and missing pollutant data. By employing data in...
Fine-mode aerosol optical depth (fAOD) is a vital proxy for the concentration of anthropogenic aerosols in the atmosphere. Currently, the limited data length and high uncertainty of the satellite-based data diminish the applicability of fAOD for clim...

Sediments are important heavy metal sinks in lakes, crucial for ensuring water environment safety. Existing studies mainly focused on well-studied lakes, leaving gaps in understanding pollution patterns in specific basins and influencing factors.We c...
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a crucial component of the global carbon cycle, playing a significant role in ecosystem health and carbon balance. In this study, we focused on assessing the surface SOC content in Shandong Province based on land use type...
Gas stations not only serve as sites for oil storage and refueling but also as locations where vehicles frequently brake, significantly enriching the surrounding soil with potentially toxic elements (PTEs). Herein, 117 topsoil samples from gas statio...
