The widespread use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in consumer products that release Ag throughout their life cycle has raised potential environmental concerns. AgNPs primarily accumulate in soil through the spreading of sewage sludge (SS). In this study, the effects of direct exposure to AgNPs or indirect exposure via SS contaminated with AgNPs on...

For efficient solar energy harvesting, various engineering strategies to strengthen visible-light responsivity of ZnO photocatalyst is under intensive investigation. In this work, a new ternary C-ZnO/MoS2/mesoporous carbon nanocomposite was successfully prepared by a two-step solution-processed synthesis protocol. The ternary composite exhibits a w...

The overuse of antibiotics and subsequent enrichment of antibiotic resistant microbes in the natural and built environments is a severe threat to global public health. In this study, a Phanerochaete chrysosporium fungal-luffa fiber system was found to efficiently biodegrade two sulfonamides, sulfadimethoxine (SDM) and sulfadizine (SDZ), in cow urin...

1,3-Butadiene (BD) is abundant in combustion products such as cigarette smoke. While BD has been classified as a known human carcinogen, a long-standing question is the identity of the ultimate carcinogenic metabolite in humans. We hypothesize that 3,4-epoxybutane-1,2-diol (EBD) may play a critical role in human carcinogenesis due to its high bioav...

Long-term exposure to arsenic, a widely distributed environmental toxicant, may result in damage to various organs, including the liver. Mice exposed chronically to arsenite developed hepatic damage, inflammation, and fibrosis, as well as increased levels of microRNA-21 (miR-21) and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α. The levels of miR-21 and HIF-1α...

In this paper, a pulsed high voltage discharge (PHVD) reactor composed of a new type of high-voltage (HV) needle electrode and mesh grounding electrode was utilized to degrade 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). The effect of needle installation position on 4-CP degradation efficiency in solution systems with different conductivities was studied. It is verified...

Cationic textile dyes such as astrazon brilliant red (ABR), are frequently used in the textile industry and contaminait the water ecology. Photodegradation of such dyes in wastewater is considered as a promising method, while the existing approaches are usually involved complicated and costly materials as photocatalysts. Facial, effective and low-c...

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) can enter aquatic environments where they can have adverse effects on organisms. The BFR, 1,2,5,6-Tetrabromocyclooctane (TBCO), has been introduced as a potential replacement for the major use BRF, Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD). However, little is known about effects of TBCO on aquatic organisms. Using zebrafish (...

Antimony (Sb), a toxic metalloid, exists mainly as Sb(V) and Sb(III) in the aquatic environment. Sb(V) displays greater solubility and can be reduced to insoluble Sb(III) compounds by microbial activities under anaerobic conditions, thus affecting the environmental fate of Sb. This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of Sb(V) reduction an...
