Summary: Constructed wetlands (CWs) are emerging treatment methods for wastewater treatment, but their potential as a sink for phosphorous is still debatable. This study compiled and assessed data from several CWs treating domestic sewage and found that phosphorous removal rates were positively correlated with loading rates, and increased wetland depth favored phosphate removal.

Summary: This study examined the removal performance of organics and nutrients in intensified constructed wetlands, specifically tidal flow-based microbial fuel cell (MFC) and tidal flow wetlands receiving municipal wastewater. The results showed high removal rates for ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, phosphorus, chemical oxygen demand, and biochemical oxygen demand under different flood periods and media variations, with TN removal reaching the highest percentage under 24-h flood periods. Tidal flow-based MFC wetlands outperformed tidal flow wetlands in TN removal due to supplementary electron production through fuel cell-based organics degradation kinetics.

Summary: Plant development has a significant impact on the microbial nitrogen cycle in constructed wetlands (CWs), particularly through root activities. The water parameters and nitrogen removal performance in CWs are greatly influenced by stages of plant development, with different microbial communities observed at each stage. The findings provide insights into the microbial nitrogen cycle and suggest a potential solution for improving nitrogen removal in CWs through a combination of practical operation and natural regulation.

Summary: This study investigated the efficacy of a constructed wetland system in removing carbendazim from wastewater runoff. The results showed that carbendazim removal efficiencies of up to 91.80% were achieved under certain conditions. The removal efficiency was not correlated with the initial carbendazim concentration but was negatively correlated with the hydraulic loading rate. Substrate sorption and plant uptake were found to be the two main mechanisms of carbendazim removal.

Summary: To compare the effect of different oxygen supply strategies on nitrogen removal in constructed wetlands, tidal flow constructed wetlands (TFCWs) and intermittently aerated constructed wetlands (IACWs) were investigated. Results showed that IACWs had high removal efficiencies for NH4+-N and COD, while TFCWs showed higher efficiency for total nitrogen removal due to enhanced nitrification and denitrification. The bacterial communities in TFCWs were enriched with key genera related to nitrogen transformation, while IACWs had a more complex and robust community structure.

Summary: This study investigated the removal effect and mechanism of dichlorvos (DDVP) in lab-scale vertical flow constructed wetlands (VFCWs). The results showed that VFCWs can remove DDVP with an average removal efficiency of 94%-95% in long-term operation. In addition, VFCWs also exhibited significant removal efficiency for soluble phosphate (SRP) and total phosphorus (TP) at 48.60%-64.10% average removal efficiency, and the presence of DDVP enhanced the nitrogen removal effect of CWs. High-throughput sequencing and proteomic analysis revealed the microbial and plant root proteins involved in the removal process of DDVP in VFCWs. Overall, the use of VFCWs for treating organic phosphate wastewater shows promising prospects.

Summary: Constructed wetlands (CWs) are engineered systems that utilize natural processes for wastewater treatment. CWs take advantage of processes found in natural wetlands, but operate in a more controlled environment. They can be classified based on the presence/absence of wastewater on the wetland surface, and the direction of subsurface flow. Hybrid CWs combine different types of CW technologies. The use of CWs for wastewater treatment gained popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s due to stricter regulations and the application of CWs in circular economy concepts.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the performance of modified vertical flow treatment wetlands (VF-TWs) with different depths and media for treating domestic wastewater in rural areas with flow variations. The results showed effective removal of total solids, organic matter, and pathogens for both normal (VF-N) and modified (VF-M) VF-TWs. However, VF-M showed inconsistent removal of total nitrogen and below 60% removal of phosphate, indicating a need for further improvements and optimization in total nitrogen removal.

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.

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.
