Summary: This review discusses the role and limitations of porous concrete in removing heavy metals from urban runoff. The major factors contributing to heavy metal removal in ordinary porous concrete are identified, and the effects of initial concentration, contact time, and competing ions on removal efficiency are discussed. The review also examines the impact of decalcification, atmospheric carbonation, and acid influent on heavy metal removal. The addition of adsorbent materials, Reduced Graphene Oxide, and pozzolanic materials to porous concrete is found to enhance removal efficiency and address some of the drawbacks. However, future studies should focus on developing methods to neutralize effluent pH and investigating the toxicity associated with modified porous concrete.

Summary: To plan for future urban development and water infrastructure, a fast and adaptable model is needed to explore scenarios without extensive data and inputs. This study proposes a novel Future Urban Stormwater Simulation (FUSS) model, which utilizes a previously developed urban planning algorithm (UrbanBEATS) to assess pollution changes in urban catchments. The results show that the model has an excellent fit to measured values in the flow model, but the pollution model is more variable. The study also explores the application framework of the model in future pollution assessment.

Summary: This article discusses the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in rice production. Through the study of 76 papers, it is found that most studies have evaluated the environmental impact of rice production and identified opportunities for improvement. However, there are discrepancies in the factors considered and the methodology used, making it challenging to compare LCA results.

Summary: Marginal Abatement Cost Curves aim to compare and assess greenhouse gas mitigation options available in different sectors of the economy. In the Irish agricultural sector, large anaerobic digestion facilities are currently seen as a high-cost abatement solution. Previous studies on anaerobic digestion abatement costs have evaluated options such as biogas generation and renewable heat production, but they may not fully capture the variable nature of these systems.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of building design changes, differentiation of biogenic carbon from fossil carbon, and inclusion of external benefits on the carbon accounting of a wooden single-family house. Life cycle assessment (LCA) was used to analyze the greenhouse gas emissions of different building design scenarios, while life cycle cost (LCC) was used to assess the costs. The results showed that an improved building design with positive and negative emissions considered in scenario 4 had the lowest embodied GHG emissions.

Summary: The study found that pillow pouches have the lowest environmental impact among milk packaging options in Canada, regardless of location. This is mainly due to their lower mass per functional unit compared to jugs and cartons. Even if disposed in a landfill or incinerated, pillow pouches perform better across all impact categories compared to alternatives.

Summary: Rice is a crucial crop in terms of human consumption, and assessing the sustainability of its production process is of great importance. This research investigates the recent literature on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of rice primary production to determine the extent to which Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) and sustainability have been applied in the rice sector, as well as identify research gaps. The study reveals limited consideration of multiple functional units, methodological differences leading to result variability, and inadequate focus on socio-economic aspects.

Summary: This study analyzed the environmental impact and optimization potential of prefabricated components through a life cycle assessment method. It found that a prefabrication rate of 50% and 30% could reduce potential global warming impact by 31.78% and 13.94% respectively. However, the production of prefabricated components in China incurred a social cost of up to $4.35 billion, with Shandong and Hubei provinces being the key areas for optimization.

Summary: This study used chemical properties and isotopes to identify nitrate transport and sources in urban stormwater runoff, finding differences in nitrate concentration and total dissolved nitrogen composition among different runoff sources. Rainfall characteristics were significantly correlated with nitrate concentrations, and a Bayesian mixing model showed road runoff as the largest contributor to drainage runoff nitrate load. Effective measures to minimize nitrate concentration in roof runoff and reduce runoff volume for controlling road runoff pollution are recommended to mitigate nitrate pollution in urban water systems.

Summary: This study uses pressure change events (PCEs) as a physical indicator of atmospheric system stability in the tropical areas of Florida to reveal the impact of temperature on precipitation. The results show that the frequency and intensity of PCE are closely related to weather events, with decreasing pressure favoring precipitation, and different types of PCEs affect the probability and depth of precipitation differently, influenced by season and climate.

Summary: This article presents an algorithm for generating synthetic precipitation series based on global climate model forecasted average monthly temperatures. The algorithm takes into account nonstationary conditions and considers the physical basis for precipitation formation. The results suggest that future precipitation in the Northeast United States will be more variable, with more frequent mild events and fewer but intensified extremes, especially in warm seasons. This stochastic precipitation generator provides valuable weather ensembles for water resource studies involving climate change.

Summary: Emerging lead halide perovskite (LHP) photovoltaics have great potential for commercialization due to their high efficiency and low manufacturing costs. However, the toxicity of lead (Pb) poses a major challenge. In this study, a model was used to simulate the fate and transport of Pb leachate in groundwater, soil, and air following hypothetical catastrophic breakage of LHP PV modules. The results showed that most of the Pb is sequestered in soil, and the concentrations of Pb in groundwater and air were below the EPA maximum permissible limits. Although the highest observed concentrations of perovskite-derived Pb in soil did not exceed EPA limits, further research is needed to assess the potential bioavailability and public health risks of perovskite-derived Pb.

Therefore, commercialization decisions should prioritize efficiency and stability rather than environmental concerns.

Summary: In this study, a human physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of diethyl phthalate (DEP) was developed to assess its toxicity. The model considers the distribution and metabolism of DEP and its active metabolite monoethyl phthalate (MEP) in different tissue compartments. Sensitivity analysis and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations were performed to evaluate the uncertainty and variability of the model parameters. The results suggest that dermal absorption is an important route of exposure to DEP in the environment.

Summary: This study investigates the feasibility and mechanisms of a chemical-free nanobubble-based AOP for treating organic micropollutants in water. The results show that the oxygen nanobubble AOP has a significantly higher removal efficiency compared to air and nitrogen nanobubbles. The treatment performance is not affected by pH and the presence of ions. Higher initial concentrations of the micropollutant lead to slower treatment processes, but similar removal performance is achieved in the end. The presence of organic matter reduces the removal rate of the micropollutant. The results have practical feasibility for water and wastewater treatment.

The results show that biochar reduces MeHg levels in paddy soils by decreasing bioavailable Hg and microbial Hg methylation. Additionally, biochar decreases the uptake and translocation of MeHg in rice plants, resulting in a reduction of MeHg accumulation in rice grains.

It was found that increasing the application of thiencarbazone-methyl center dot isoxaflutole resulted in increased stress on soil bacterial community structure and diversity. Increasing soil pH was recognized as a key factor in improving the diversity and structure of soil microflora. Supplemental use of nitrapyrin or modified attapulgite can increase soil pH and improve bacterial diversity.
