Summary: This study investigated the contamination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediments in rice and crab coculture farming systems. Rice straw biochar was used to inhibit the release and migration of PAHs from sediments, reducing the bioavailability and biological effects of PAHs. The results provide theoretical and technical support for the utilization of straw waste and remediation of PAHs pollution.

Summary: This paper reviews three scientific trends leading current PAH-contaminated soil/sediment remediation studies and management. Firstly, the choice of compounds studied is discussed, suggesting the classical 16 US-EPA PAH compounds may no longer be sufficient. Secondly, the lack of PAH remediation trials on co-contaminated or aged-contaminated material is highlighted. Finally, the systematic use of the bioavailability measurement protocol as a tool to improve remediation processes and strategies is recommended.

Summary: The study investigated historical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollution through sedimentary records in three lakes in China. The results showed that PAH concentrations in sediment are still increasing in these lakes, showing a different trend compared to developed countries. The PAH pollution in South China started earlier in 1850, while the increases in North and Northeast China were observed from 1980. The PAH concentrations were highly correlated with local economic development. The study also identified the main sources of PAHs in lake sediments, including oil leaks, coal and biomass combustion, vehicle emissions, and diagenesis. The findings of this study provide important information for understanding and controlling PAH pollution.

Summary: Compared with animal studies, there is limited research on the impairments of T-cell response and exposure-response from particulate matter (PM) and its components in the human population. This study found that PM and its bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and metals can induce immune impairments by altering T lymphocytes and genes of T-bet and GATA3. Additionally, CD4+ T lymphocytes were found to mediate the associations of PM2.5 with T-bet expression.

Summary: Due to its unique environment and geographic location, Svalbard has been identified as a potential pollution reservoir in the Arctic. This study found the presence of microplastics and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Textile materials and fisheries-related debris were identified as possible sources of microplastics and anthropogenic particles. PAHs in soils were mainly derived from traffic emissions and diesel combustion from a local power plant, while ship emissions were the dominant source of PAHs in sediments. Anthropogenic input was confirmed to be higher in Ny-Alesund, while transportation through ocean currents may contribute to the higher abundance of microplastics in Rijpfjorden.

Summary: The adsorption behavior of pyrene and seven types of surfactants on kaolinite surfaces was studied. The results showed that pyrene was more easily adsorbed on the 001 (-) side of kaolinite. Some surfactants had strong interactions with pyrene, forming aggregates. However, high concentration of surfactant inhibited pyrene desorption on the kaolinite surface.

Summary: The study explored the potential of incineration bottom ashes (IBA) as oxygen carriers (OCs) for chemical looping combustion (CLC). It was found that the Fe2O3 and CaSO4 in IBA were major sources of available lattice oxygen in the investigated oxygen carriers. The study concluded that IBA compounds without further treatment have high potential for CLC process.

Summary: The valorization of municipal solid waste incineration bottom and fly ashes as catalysts for thermochemical plastic treatment was investigated. It was found that both IBA and APC promote selective production of BTEX compounds without significantly affecting the formation of other gaseous and liquid species. The Ni-loaded C-APC demonstrated further improvement in the BTEX yield, suggesting the potential to enhance the catalytic properties of ashes through pre-treatment.

Summary: Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) is widely used for the removal of heavy metal and organic pollutants in environmental engineering. However, its in-situ application is often hindered by complex environmental systems. Sulfidation of nZVI was found to enhance its performance and overcome the inhibition caused by microplastics (MPs).

Summary: This study examines the potential environmental impacts of IoT in the food supply chain through an integrated SL-FL-LCA model. It considers the environmental cost of IoT sensors and the benefits from reducing food loss. The study highlights the toxic effects of sensor manufacturing and emphasizes the importance of proper e-waste management and environmentally friendly materials. Avoiding food loss can bring multiple environmental benefits, although there are some negative impacts. Improvements in sensor materials and technology can eliminate these shortcomings. The optimal deployment of IoT sensors depends on various factors, such as food types and regions.

Summary: Due to the rapid growth of global population and economic activity, the management of sewage sludge has become a global conundrum. Traditional landfilling and land-farming methods are increasingly criticized for their negative impacts on the environment and economy, leading to the emergence of thermochemical conversion processes that aim to reduce sludge volume and recover value-added energy and materials. However, the challenges of this method, such as multiple processes and high temperatures, hinder its large-scale application. Therefore, comprehensive reviews and analyses of the thermochemical conversion of sewage sludge towards enhanced value-added energy and materials recovery are conducted to provide further perspectives and recommendations for sewage sludge management.

Summary: The objective of this study is to incorporate soil hydraulic properties into the erodibility factor (K) of USLE-type models. By modifying and improving the existing equations for soil texture and permeability, the study successfully included information on saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) into the calculation of K factor. Using the Random Forest machine learning algorithm, two independent K factor maps with different spatial resolutions were generated. The results show that the decrease in K factor values has a positive impact on the modeling of soil erosion rates.

Summary: Atmospheric PM2.5, which can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), is associated with cardiorespiratory morbidity and mortality. The study found that both the mass concentration of PM2.5 and the DTT activity were higher during the heating season than during the nonheating season. Combustion sources were the primary contributors to DTT activity during the heating season, while secondary formation dominated during the nonheating season. The study also revealed that biomass burning had the highest inherent oxidation potential among all sources investigated.

The functionalized IVP showed a high mercury adsorption capacity and a machine learning model was developed to predict the amount of mercury removed. Furthermore, the functionalized IVP can be regenerated and reused, providing a sustainable and cost-effective adsorbent.

Summary: This study investigated the presence of aluminum in human colon cancer samples and its potential association with biological processes involved in cancer progression. Aluminum was found in tumor areas of 24% of patients and was associated with epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell death. Additional analyses revealed higher tumor mutational burden and mutations in genes related to EMT and apoptosis in aluminum-positive colon cancers. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of aluminum toxicity may improve strategies for the management of colon cancer patients.
