...Published in The Science of The Total Environment
Despite growing applications of molybdenum(IV) sulfide (MoS2) nano- and microparticles in their capacity as lubricants, data available on their safety are scarce. In this study the effect of MoS2 nano- and microparticles after single intratracheal instillation in rats has been analyzed. MoS2 suspensions were administered at the dose of 1.5 or 5 mg ...
Synthesis of super hydrophilic cellulose-alpha zirconium phosphate ion exchange membrane via surface coating for the rem...
Published in The Science of The Total Environment
In this study, commercial cellulose membranes were surface coated with alpha‑zirconium phosphate nanoparticles (α-ZrP-n) to study their impact on the overall removal efficiency of heavy metals from synthetic metal mixture wastewater solution. A total of four homogeneous solutions (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 wt%) of α-ZrP-n were prepared by sonicati...
Are pharmaceuticals removal and membrane fouling in electromembrane bioreactor affected by current density?
Published in The Science of The Total Environment
Pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) have been detected at significant concentrations in various natural and artificial aquatic environments. In this study, electro membrane bioreactor (eMBR) technology was used to treat simulated municipal wastewater containing widely-used pharmaceuticals namely amoxicillin (AMX), diclofenac (DCF) and carbamaze...
Mapping daily PM2.5 at 500 m resolution over Beijing with improved hazy day performance
Published in The Science of The Total Environment
The application of satellite-derived aerosol optical depth (AOD) to infer surface PM2.5 has significantly increased the spatial coverage and resolutions (1–10 km) of ground-level PM2.5 mapping as required for accurate exposure estimation. The remaining challenge is to further increase the mapping resolution to the sub-km level with improved algorit...
Using photoactivated acetone for the degradation of Chlorazol Black in aqueous solutions: Impact of mineral and organic ...
Published in The Science of The Total Environment
This study examined the effect of different mineral and organic additives on the degradation of Chlorazol Black (CB, 25.5 μM) in aqueous media by UV/acetone process. Initially, it was found that acetone (50 mM)-assisted UV irradiation accelerated the CB removal within 30 min to 98% against 34% for the sole UV, presumably due to the implication of m...
Intensification of light green SF yellowish (LGSFY) photodegradion in water by iodate ions: Iodine radicals implication ...
Published in The Science of The Total Environment
The results of this work showed that UV/IO3− oxidation process supplies good performance in the degradation of light green SF yellowish (LGSFY) dye in deionized water. This process generated reactive iodine radicals that make the degradation much faster than the sole UV irradiation. The assistance of UV-irradiation by 10 mM of iodate increased the ...

Prolonged industrial emissions increase median metal concentrations and most soluble fractions (BCR F1+F2) in home garden soils near ferroalloy plants. Areas near ferroalloy plant sites had spinach Cd and Pb metal concentrations several-fold above maximum standard references. We recommend thorough washing of vegetables to minimize metal exposure.
