Summary: This study investigated the degradation of toluene through treatment with zerovalent iron nanoparticles and different H2O2 concentrations under UVA light. The highest removal of toluene was achieved with 100 mg L-1 nZVI and 400 mg L-1 H2O2, although similar degradation rates were observed with 100 and 200 mg L-1 H2O2. Benzaldehyde and bibenzyl were identified as the main oxidation products, and the nZVI nanoparticles could be reused without a loss of efficiency.

Summary: In this study, it was found that the in-situ photocatalytic generation of H2O2 using ZnSe nanosheets combined with Fe2+ for Fenton reaction can effectively degrade dyes and antibiotics. The photo-Fenton degradation rate is higher than that of photocatalytic and Fenton processes alone. ZnSe also shows excellent stability and hydrophilicity, which facilitates the contact between the catalyst and pollutants. The kinetic analysis demonstrates that the photo-Fenton degradation of ZnSe follows a pseudo-first-order kinetic.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of environmental characteristics on the degradation of chlorpyrifos by Hortaea sp. B15, as well as the enzyme activity and metabolic pathway. The results showed that the highest bacterial growth was achieved after 20 hours of incubation in a culture with 100 mg/L chlorpyrifos. The optimal pH for chlorpyrifos degradation was pH 9, and the presence of non-ionic surfactant Tween 80 enhanced the degradation and bacterial growth. Metabolites such as 3,5,6-trichloropyridin-2-ol and 2-pyridinol were identified in the degradation process.

Summary: This study examined the long-term storage potential of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) by drying and storing it in zip-lock bags in a laboratory and storage room. AGS stored for different durations were reactivated and analyzed. The results showed that the granules became darker and smaller with each reactivation, while the settling velocity increased up to 25% after storage. Storing AGS for 1 day had the least impact on removal performance. It is possible to store the granules in fluctuating temperature conditions for up to 1 week, with the potential for recovery after continuous operation.

Summary: Drought analysis using SPI and SPEI is crucial for water resource management in Sarawak, Malaysia. Both rainfall and temperature are important indicators for drought, and the SPI and SPEI can effectively detect temporal variations of drought with different time scales. The SPEI, considering both precipitation and evapotranspiration data, can identify more severe and longer-lasting droughts compared to the SPI. Temperature plays a decisive role in drought classification, and the SPI is recommended only when temperature data is unavailable.

Summary: The contamination of natural resources with organic pollutants is a major concern due to intensive agriculture and industrialization. Phytoremediation, a relatively new technology, can be enhanced by various mechanisms and aids. Water hyacinth, water lettuce, and duckweed are common accumulator plants for remediating polluted water. Genetic engineering, microbial stimulation, and additives can further improve phytoremediation. This low-cost and sustainable technology is a dependable option for water remediation.

Summary: Pollution in Pekalongan waters caused by the industrial city's batik industry, which uses a lot of water and generates heavy metal-contaminated wastewater, has been investigated in this study. The spatial distribution and transport simulation of copper (Cu) and chromium (Cr) in the Loji and Banger rivers were analyzed using a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model. The study found that the copper concentration was below the threshold set by Indonesia, but the chromium concentration exceeded it, especially in the river and outlet river. The findings and the numerical calculation model created in this study have important implications for preventing and controlling heavy metal pollution in the marine environment of Pekalongan.

Summary: This study assessed the prevalence and distribution of microplastics in water and sediments of the Pekalongan River in Indonesia. The study found higher concentrations of microplastics in water compared to sediments. Fragment and film microplastics were the main components, with microplastics measuring less than 1 mm constituting more than half of the total. Colored microplastics, particularly blue and black microplastics, were also prominent. Polystyrene, polyester, and polyamide were identified as the primary polymer components.

Summary: This paper systematically studies 11 flood disaster case studies from 2010 to 2022 using databases from Springer Link, Science Direct, JSTOR, and Web of Science. The findings reveal that demographic characteristics, socioeconomic status, and access to healthcare crucially determine social vulnerability to adverse flood events. However, many social vulnerability indicators fail to adequately consider the influence of these factors. The article emphasizes the importance of considering specific situations and locations when understanding vulnerability and concludes by offering recommendations to customize quantitative indicators of social vulnerability to flood contexts.

The mature MB-AGS showed excellent settling properties, with an average diameter of 2.5±1.5 mm and a settling velocity of 39±24 m/h. The removal efficiencies of BOD, COD, ammonia (NH4+-N), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) were 80±14%, 95±2%, 88±14%, 56±16%, and 57±14%, respectively.
