In order to improve the ozonation efficiency for the remediation of PAHs contaminated soil, the performance experiments were carried out with quartz sand artificially contaminated with phenanthrene. The byproducts of phenanthrene were detected by GC-MS and the toxicity was evaluated by seed germination tests. The influence of the particle size and ...

Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic contaminants (NHCs) have aroused intense environmental issues in waterbody because of their high toxicity and strong recalcitrance against natural degradation. In this study, ozonation degradation on four typical NHCs - benzotriazole (BTA), benzimidazole (BMZ), indazole (IDZ), and indole (IDO) was carried out to inv...
Metal-free mesoporous graphitic frameworks with built-in nanotubes (CPGs) were synthesized via facile co-pyrolysis of cyclodextrin and a cobalt salt with subsequent acid pickling to remove the embedded metal species. Due to the high graphitic degree and built-in few-layer nanotubes, the as-synthesized carbonaceous materials possess a higher catalyt...

Background: Summer temperatures are expected to increase and heat waves will occur more frequently, be longer, and be more intense as a result of global warming. A growing body of evidence indicates that increasing temperature and heatwaves are associated with excess mortality and therefore global heating may become a major public health threat. Ho...

Air pollution has adverse effects on the onset and morbidity of respiratory diseases, including asthma. In this review, we discuss recent insights into the effects of air pollution on the incidence and exacerbation of asthma. We focus on epidemiological studies that describe the association between air pollution exposure and development, mortality,...

Over the last years, there has been a growing interest in the use of Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs) for the elimination of micropollutants. This work attempts to compare the efficiency of conventional UV, O3 and H2O2 based AOPs with a relatively new AOP based on plasma-ozonation, in terms of removal and energy efficiency. The experimental stud...
