Essential oils have been evaluated as appropriate phytotoxins with mechanisms of action that are different from those of synthetic herbicides applied in weed management activities, but little is known about the effect of Ambrosia artemisiifolia essential oil (EO) on weeds. Here, the chemical composition of A. artemisiifolia EO was analyzed using a ...

Geothermal energy is a low-pollution energy source. However, air, soil, and water near geothermal plants may be affected by their operation. One of the largest geothermal energy sources in the world, Cerro Prieto, has a capacity of 720 MW and is located in northwest Mexico near an agricultural area. The abstracted geothermal fluids, which are enric...

Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) have great potential in livestock manure disposal. However, the changes in metal speciation, microbial communities, potential pathogens during the manure transformation process by BSFL is still largely uncharacterized, as well as the underlying metal tolerance mechanism of larval gut microbiome. Here we used BSFL to ...

A high concentration of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can be frequently observed in the plastic processing sludge (PPS), thereby restricting its environmental applications. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the co-pyrolysis of PPS and KH2PO4 (0, 5, 10 and 20 wt%) on the characteristics and environmental risks as...

In this study, electric field and ball milling were used to leach Mn2+ from low-grade pyrolusite (LGP). The effects of current density, reaction time, reaction temperature, ball-to-powder weight ratio, and ball milling time on the leaching efficiency of Mn2+ from LGP as well as the leaching mechanism were systematically studied. The results showed ...

Bivalve mollusks are important aquatic organisms, which are used for biological monitoring because of their abundance, ubiquitous nature, and abilities to adapt to different environments. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs, which typically silence the expression of target genes; however, certain miRNAs directly or indirectly upregulate the...

Despite of growing evidence linking PM2.5 exposure to autophagic activity in various human cells, the functional significance of PM2.5 exposure affecting autophagy in the pathogenesis of human cardiovascular disease and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, the effects of ambient PM2.5 (with final concentration 0, 1, 5,...

Several heavy metals have been reported to be associated with metabolic syndrome(MetS) in general population, while effects of multiple metals exposure on MetS in residents living in heavy metal polluted regions have not been investigated. We aimed to assess the association of 23 metal levels and MetS among population living in China's heavy metal ...

Recent studies have shown that organisms including humans are exposed to microplastics directly or indirectly. The present study aims to examine the ingestion of these microplastics and the consequences of the same by studying the accumulation behavior of weathered Polyethylene (wPE) microplastics. The Perna viridis were exposed chronically to thre...
