Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that affects numerous marine aquatic ecosystems. We isolated Chlorococcum dorsiventrale Ch-UB5 microalga from coastal areas of Tunisia suffering from metal pollution and analyzed its tolerance to Hg. This strain accumulated substantial amounts of Hg and was able to remove up to 95% of added metal after 24 and 72 h...

Pesticides are omnipresent, and they pose significant environmental and health risks. Translational studies indicate that acute exposure to high pesticide levels is detrimental, and prolonged interaction with low-level pesticides, as single and cocktail, could represent a risk factor for multi-organ pathophysiology, including the brain. Within this...

Microplastics (MPs) are widely distributed in the marine environment, posing a significant threat to marine biota. The contribution of anthropogenic and terrestrial sources to the aquatic ecosystem has led to an increase in MPs findings, and their abundance in aquatic biota has been reported to be of concern. MPs are formed mainly via photo degrada...

The presence of biocides in wastewater can negatively impact the efficiency of wastewater treatment processes, particular the process of nitrification. In this paper, we describe the development of cell-based biosensors (CBBs) with tunable levels of sensitivity for rapidly detecting the presence and predicting the type and concentration of biocides...

4-Chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) is a widely used herbicide across the world. MCPA is persistent and easily transports into anoxic environment, such as groundwater, sediments and deep soils. However, little research on anaerobic microbial degradation of MCPA was carried out. The functional microorganisms as well as the catabolic pathway a...

A biocatalytic membrane offers an ideal alternative to the conventional treatment process for the removal of toxic pentachlorophenol (PCP). The limelight of the study is to utilize superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) incorporated (poly (methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic acid) (PMVEAMA) and poly (ether - ether) sulfone (PEES)) membrane f...

Pulmonary fibrosis is a severe pulmonary disease, and may related to PM2.5 exposure. Our study aims to explore the pathogenesis of PM2.5-induced pulmonary fibrosis, and MitoQ protective effect in this process. Our results find that inflammatory cells aggregation and pulmonary fibrosis in mice lung after PM2.5 exposure. Moreover, Collagen I/III over...

Pyrolysis of calcium-rich feedstock (e.g., poultry manure) generates semi-crystalline and crystalline phosphorus (P) species, compromising its short-term availability to plants. However, enriching poultry manure with magnesium (Mg) before pyrolysis may improve the ability of biochar to supply P. This study investigated how increasing the Mg/Ca rati...

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays an important role in the biogeochemical function development of bauxite residue. Nevertheless, the DOM composition at the molecular level and its interaction with microbial community during soil formation of bauxite residue driven by eco-engineering strategies are still relatively unknown. In the present study, ...

The stability of metalloid arsenic (As(Ⅲ)) and As(V) in corrosion scales of drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) is closely related to drinking water safety. The effects of colloidal microplastics entering the DWDS on the stability of As(Ⅲ) and As(V) have not been understood. This study investigated the migration and transformation behaviors ...
