Summary: This study developed a novel lightweight substrate (Al-NLS) composed of aluminum sludge and polyurethane, and investigated its effectiveness in constructed wetlands (CWs). Results showed that Al-NLS had favorable adsorption capacities for phosphorus and removal efficiencies for pollutants in real domestic wastewater. It also positively influenced the microbial community. Therefore, Al-NLS can be considered as a new alternative substrate in CWs technology.

Summary: This study employed unsaturated, partially saturated microbial fuel cell integrated tidal flow constructed wetlands to co-treat landfill leachate and municipal wastewater. It was found that reducing the leachate volumetric proportion and increasing the wastewater retention time improved the removal efficiency of pollutants. Waste rubber tire material-based partially saturated wetlands showed the highest efficiency in bioenergy production.

Summary: Constructed wetlands (CWs) and microbial fuel cells (MFCs) were combined to evaluate their performance in domestic wastewater treatment and electricity generation. The parallel connection of CW-MFCs improved power generation and using three copper wires to connect electrodes enhanced pollutant capture capabilities. The single-column system achieved the highest power density, followed closely by the triple-column continuous system. The zigzag system showed lower power density but had higher removal efficiency of pollutants.

Summary: The study found that using intertidal wetland sediments as a microbial source for CWs can effectively improve phosphorus removal rates, with bacteria such as phosphorus-accumulating organisms enhancing microbial transformation of phosphorus. However, the addition of IWS increased phosphorus loss via substrate accumulation and decreased phosphorus removal rate via plant uptake.

Summary: This study investigates the integration of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) into constructed wetlands for better removal of eutrophication and microcystins (MCs). The closed-circuit MFC-CWs exhibited superior removal efficiency compared to traditional CWs. Adding sponge iron to the anode layer improved the removal of NO3--N but had limited effect on MC-LR removal. The integration of MFC into CWs shows promise in controlling eutrophication and MCs pollution.

Summary: This study evaluated the removal of micropollutants in constructed wetlands with different configurations. The use of bark-biochar as a support matrix significantly enhanced the removal of irbesartan and carbamazepine. UVC irradiation as a pre-treatment was more effective in removing micropollutants than sunlight irradiation. After INC pre-treatment, less micropollutants accumulated in the plants in the subsequent wetland unit. The addition of activated sludge and aeration did not improve micropollutant removal. A bark-biochar based system combined with UVC pre-treatment showed better micropollutant removal than a conventional sand wetland.

Summary: Two constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) systems were connected in series with cathodic aeration to investigate the effects of aeration rate and hydraulic retention time (HRT) on pollutant removal and electricity production in high-concentration wastewater. Results showed that aeration enhanced NH4+-N and TP removal, but had no significant effect on COD removal. Aeration also improved the output voltage and power density of the system, especially in the first stage CW-MFC. Increasing HRT improved pollutant treatment efficiency and power generation performance.

Summary: Constructed wetlands in high-altitude environments rely on native flora and associated microbial communities for survival. Carex rostrata, Deschampsia caespitosa, and Rumex alpinus are identified as plant species hosting active bacteria in nitrogen cycles, with the latter showing the richest and most stable fungal and prokaryotic communities. These findings suggest that Rumex alpinus should be prioritized in high-altitude constructed wetlands for its low maintenance requirements and effective water treatment capabilities.

Summary: Based on experimental and theoretical studies, the spin-magnetic effect of iron group layered double hydroxides (LDHs) was found to enhance the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process. The saturation magnetization of iron group LDHs positively correlates with their OER performance under different magnetic fields. Among the tested LDHs, NiCoFe-LDHs show the strongest OER activity and saturation magnetization.

Summary: The global outbreak of COVID-19 has had a significant impact on human society, and effectively blocking the spread of the virus is crucial for controlling the pandemic. Ozone-based inactivation and disinfection techniques have been proven to effectively kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus in various forms. However, the lack of unified information and discussion on ozone-based inactivation and disinfection in previous and current pandemics, as well as the absence of consensus on the main mechanisms of ozone-based inactivation, have hindered the establishment of best practices in utilizing ozone technology. This article reviews the research status of ozone disinfection on pandemic viruses, with a focus on sterilization kinetics and categorizing pandemic viruses into enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. The review aims to provide a useful reference for the safe and effective utilization of ozone in the post-pandemic era.

Summary: This research conducted a systematic and comprehensive meta-analysis to determine the association between maternal body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) and the risk of cancer in offspring. The results suggest that high GWG may increase the risk of total cancer in offspring, while low GWG is not associated with the risk. There is no significant association between maternal underweight, overweight/obesity, and the risk of total cancer in offspring. Further research is needed to clarify the potential relevance of maternal BMI and GWG on offspring cancer, especially for specific cancers.

Summary: This study analyzed the effects of non-optimal temperatures on cardiovascular disease mortality risk in China. The results showed that from 1990 to 2019, the mortality rate of cardiovascular disease attributable to non-optimal temperatures generally declined, but ischemic heart disease showed a slight increase. Low temperatures had a higher death burden than high temperatures, but the death burden from high temperatures showed steady increases.
