Mature landfill leachate is typically resistant to biological processes. In order to enhance the biodegradability of a pre-treated mature landfill leachate, ozonation treatments in a lab-scale column were assayed under different ozone concentrations, contact time, initial pH, and hydrogen peroxide concentrations. Degradation of the landfill leachate by ozone was favoured at higher pH values and with the addition of H(2)O(2), both consistent with the enhanced production of the hydroxyl radical under such conditions. The highest organic reduction and biodegradability improvement was observed with the O(3)/H(2)O(2) process at 600 mg H(2)O(2) L(-1). This system was able to remove 63% of chemical oxygen demand (COD), 53% of total organic carbon (TOC), 42% of aromatic content (UV(254)) and increased the leachate 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD(5)) to COD ratio from 0.01 to 0.17. Ozone combined with H(2)O(2) contributed significantly to remove and change the recalcitrant organic matter and improved leachate biodegradability, which makes this process very attractive as pre-biological treatment.

Performance of mortars with PET

Maria da Luz Garcia, M. Rosario Oliveira, Teresa Neto Silva, Ana C. Meira Castro

Summary: The study evaluated the feasibility of incorporating ground polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste in mortars by comparing mechanical resistance, capillarity water absorption, and thermal conductivity coefficients. Results showed a decrease in mechanical resistance, an increase in water absorption resistance, and a decrease in thermal conductivity when PET residues were used. This indicates that replacing natural aggregates with PET residues in mortars is a promising option for the production of a new environmentally friendly material.

Railway Bridge Management System Based on Visual Inspections with Semi-Markov Continuous Time Process

Fagner Furtado, Diogo Ribeiro

Summary: This article presents a model for predicting the degradation of in-service railway bridges. The model is based on a semi-Markov continuous time process and uses the inspection history of 588 bridges on a heavy-haul railway line in Brazil between 2016 and 2020. A computational tool developed in Matlab enables automated data processing. A parametric study is conducted to identify the most influential factors in the deterioration model, including bridge structural characteristics, operational factors, and environmental factors. Specific prediction models are established for concrete bridges and steel bridges. The prediction models achieve an efficiency of 93.7% for concrete bridges and 95.1% for steel bridges. The analysis of preventive and corrective maintenance scenarios optimizes the condition ratings throughout the life cycle, particularly for concrete bridges.

Phthalate metabolites in breast milk from mothers in Southern China: Occurrence, temporal trends, daily intake, and risk assessment

Yangyang Liu, Minhua Xiao, Kaiqin Huang, Juntao Cui, Hongli Liu, Yingxin Yu, Shengtao Ma, Xihong Liu, Meiqing Lin

Summary: This study measured the levels of phthalate metabolites in breast milk collected from mothers in southern China. The results showed that phthalates are still prevalent in the region, and breastfeeding contributes to phthalate intake in infants. However, the levels detected do not pose significant health risks to infants based on dietary exposure. The increasing exposure to certain phthalates calls for further research into their sources and potential risks.

Depth significantly affects plastisphere microbial evenness, assembly and co-occurrence pattern but not richness and composition

Zhiqiang Wu, Jianxing Sun, Liting Xu, Hongbo Zhou, Haina Cheng, Zhu Chen, Yuguang Wang, Jichao Yang

Summary: Ocean depth affects microbial diversity, composition, and co-occurrence patterns of microplastic microbial communities. Deterministic processes dominate the assembly of mesopelagic plastisphere microbial communities, while stochastic processes shape the assembly of bathypelagic microbial communities. The relationships between microorganisms in the mesopelagic layer are more complex and stable, with Proteobacteria and Actinobacteriota playing important roles.
