Lead exposure poses substantial long-term health risks, accounting for over 900,000 annual deaths worldwide and impairing cognitive development in more than 800 million children. Recent studies have indicated elevated soil lead contamination levels o...
PER: and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pose a significant environmental and human health risk due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, mobility, and toxicity. Current PFAS source-allocation methods often demand data on many compounds while over...
Sustainably improving cultivated land productivity (CLP) contributes to food security and environmental sustainability. Over the past 30 years, a portfolio of national cultivated land improvement programs (NCLIP) has been implemented in China's impor...

Soil erosion is a critical environmental issue in the Brahmaputra River Basin, threatening agricultural productivity, water resources, and ecological balance. This study employs the revised universal soil loss equation (RUSLE) alongside remote sensin...
The soil microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems and supporting sustainable agriculture. Studying its biogeographical structure and distribution is essential for understanding the rates and mechanisms of microbially mediated...
In this work, we developed an automated system for the detection and classification of soil-transmitted helminths (STH) and Schistosoma (S.) mansoni eggs in microscopic images of fecal smears. We assembled an STH and S. mansoni dataset comprising ove...
Radon exhalation is a natural process by which atoms of the radioactive gas radon diffuse in the soil and then exhale to an indoor and/or outdoor environment. High radon concentration levels, possibly from high radon exhalation rate levels, can gener...
