Summary: Municipal wastewater effluent discharges can negatively impact local ecosystems and human health by introducing contaminants to receiving waters. Gadolinium and dissolved rubidium/strontium ratios have been identified as potential conservative tracers for tracking wastewater-sourced pollutants in urbanized freshwater systems, providing a cost-effective alternative to traditional tracers. Studies have shown that these tracers could be valuable tools in investigating wastewater impacts in different geological settings.

Summary: The concentration of PAHs, PCBs, and OCPs in sewage sludge from 40 wastewater treatment plants was investigated. The relationship between the pollutant contents, WWTP parameters, and sludge stabilisation was evaluated. The study found correlations among the individual tested pollutants in the sludge, as well as a linear correlation between WWTP size and pollutant contents in sludge.

Summary: The study analyzed organic contaminants in the effluent of a shale gas wastewater treatment plant in Chongqing, China and found 115 compounds, including alkanes, aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, amines, nitriles, aldehydes, ketones, esters, and alcohols. The toxicological effects of typical iodoalkanes on human liver carcinoma cells were also evaluated. The study identified halogenated hydrocarbons, particularly iodine compounds, in shale gas wastewater effluents for the first time and discussed the mechanisms of formation for iodoalkanes benzyl bromide and benzyl iodide. Halogenated N-heterocyclic compounds were likely originated from fracturing chemicals. The toxicity evaluation showed dose-dependent reduction of cell growth for iodoalkanes treatments, especially diiodoalkane, indicating that cytotoxicity may be related to the number of substituted iodine atoms.

Summary: The occurrence, fate, removal, and ecological risks of various emerging contaminants (ECs) were investigated in two textile wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in a large textile industrial park in Southwest China. A total of 50 ECs were identified, with phthalate esters (PAEs), endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) being the most dominant. The WWTPs effectively removed 63-69% of the detected ECs, with removal efficiencies exceeding 80%. Fenton processing showed enhanced removal efficiencies for long-chain PFAS. The PAEs and EDCs posed medium-to-high risks to aquatic organisms and were identified as priority ECs.

Summary: The co-existence of heavy metals and organics in industrial effluents poses potential health risks and ecological harm, necessitating the simultaneous removal of these pollutants. Technologies such as adsorption, ion exchange, photo-catalysis, and coagulation have been used for this purpose, with their success dependent on water matrices and treatment media. This review critically examines the advantages, limitations, and mathematical modeling of these technologies for concurrent removal of organics and heavy metals in contaminated systems.

Summary: Photoelectrocatalysis, as a powerful technique combining photocatalysis with electrochemistry, has been extensively explored for simultaneous removal of organic pollutants and heavy metals in wastewater. The bias potential in the photoelectrocatalytic system can promote oxidation of organic pollutants on the photoanode and reduce heavy metals on the cathode, addressing mixed pollution issues effectively. Various research advances, operation variables, and challenges in utilizing solar energy for photoelectrocatalysis are discussed, with future industrial applications prospects proposed.

Summary: The article discusses new strategies for remediating soils contaminated with organic and inorganic pollutants. The study focuses on investigating the combined effects of plant-microorganism-functional materials to enhance the reduction of soil contamination with toxic chemicals. The article highlights the importance of functional materials as a habitat for microorganisms, the role of microorganisms in partial biodegradation and plant growth stimulation, and the synthesis of root exudates by plants to facilitate microorganism activities. The cooperation of these three factors produces a synergistic effect that is more effective than individual approaches, such as phytoremediation or the use of microorganisms or functional materials alone. The article provides key examples of the synergistic effects observed in this study.

Summary: The study on the retention of heavy metals in common reed seedlings showed that in the early stage of plant growth, the rhizomes mainly inhibited the heavy metals, with different decreasing trends in concentration among organs. The bioaccumulation factor indicated higher mobility of heavy metals in seedlings from the uncontaminated lake compared to the polluted roadside ditch. Additionally, morphological and anatomical studies revealed differences in the health and cellular changes of seedlings from different locations, suggesting potential for phytoremediation.

This study aimed to determine whether imidazolium cations of ILs can bioconcentrate in marine invertebrates tissues. The results showed that long-chain imidazolium ILs can bioconcentrate, while short-chain imidazolium ILs have little potential for bioconcentration.

Summary: The study focused on heavy metal pollution in the green vegetation of a suburban industrial area in Tuokexun County, Xinjiang, China. The results showed that the overall level of heavy metal pollution in the soil was minor, with mercury (Hg) being the most severe contamination, likely caused by human activities. The composition of heavy metal elements in trees was more stable compared to grass and shrubs, with varying concentrations across different vegetation. Shrubbery was found to be the most effective in heavy metal restoration, and there were disparities in heavy metal enrichment among different vegetation types.

Summary: Plastic pollution has significant environmental impacts, largely due to chemical additives. However, the behavior of plastic additives in marine environments is not well understood. A marine deployment experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of weathering on the extractables profile of four types of plastics in New Zealand over a period of nine months. The concentration of additives in polyethylene and oxo-degradable polyethylene was strongly influenced by artificial weathering, while polyamide 6 and polyethylene terephthalate showed minimal change. These findings emphasize the importance of considering leaching and weathering effects on plastic composition when assessing the potential impact and risk of plastic pollution in receiving environments.

Summary: Few studies have examined the impact of urbanization and meteorological events on microplastics discharged into the sea through rivers. Surface water samples were collected from two Lebanese rivers, with differing degrees of urbanization, during dry and wet periods. The results showed that the most industrialized river had a significantly higher abundance of microplastics compared to the less-industrialized river. There was also a correlation between particle contamination and the season at each site, with microplastic concentrations highest on the first day of the wet season. These findings highlight the importance of considering meteorological events in accurately assessing plastic pollution influx into coastal waters.

Summary: This study investigated the variability in phytoplankton functional structure using a trait-based approach and explored the relationship between species traits and environmental factors, as well as their impact on ecosystem functioning. The results revealed that morphological traits, temperature, and ammonia played a decisive role in the seasonal succession of phytoplankton species. It was found that certain traits favored higher biomass production but might hinder energy transfer efficiency. The strong correlation between environmental variables and phytoplankton functional structure supports the practical implementation of a trait-based approach in studying phytoplankton community dynamics under different environmental conditions.
