Biological Effects and Environmental Behaviors of Medium- and Long-Chain Chlorinated Paraffins: A Brief ReviewCurrent Pollution Reports - - 2024
Zilin Chen, Ziyue Cheng, Peirui Liu, Xiangliang Pan
As short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) have been classified as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), there has been a significant surge in the utilization of medium- and long-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs and LCCPs) as potential alternatives. However, their environmental and ecological risks have gained more prominence. Consequently, the objective of this review is to provide a comprehe...... hiện toàn bộ
Tungsten Contamination of Soils and Sediments: Current State of ScienceCurrent Pollution Reports - Tập 3 - Trang 55-64 - 2017
Saugata Datta, Sara E. Vero, Ganga M. Hettiarachchi, Karen Johannesson
Tungsten (W) is commonly employed as a non-toxic alternative to lead in a broad variety of industrial and military applications. However, correlations between environmental contamination through soil, water and airborne pathways, and biological effects such as epithelial damage, bioaccumulation, and trophic mobility, have led to its classification as an “emerging contaminant.” Of particular concer...... hiện toàn bộ
Understanding of Aerosol–Climate Interactions in China: Aerosol Impacts on Solar Radiation, Temperature, Cloud, and Precipitation and Its Changes Under Future Climate and Emission ScenariosCurrent Pollution Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 36-51 - 2019
Song Liu, Jia Xing, Bin Zhao, Jiandong Wang, Shuxiao Wang, Xiaoye Zhang, Aijun Ding
Fast growth of air pollution was experienced in China during the past decades, resulting in extremely large aerosol radiative forcing with up to ten times high compared to the global averages. The responses of surface air temperature to aerosol radiative effects range from − 0.1 to 1.1 K across China, with strong spatial and seasonal variations. Aerosol interaction with clouds can also affect radi...... hiện toàn bộ
The Challenges of Managing Legacy Phosphorus Losses from Manure-Impacted Agricultural SoilsCurrent Pollution Reports - Tập 4 - Trang 265-276 - 2018
Zhixuan Qin, Amy Shober
Historical application of manure to agricultural land in areas of intensive animal production, like the Delmarva Peninsula, has led to soil test phosphorus (STP) concentrations that far exceed agronomic optimum. While natural soils would typically serve as a sink for newly applied P sources, soils with P accumulation from long-term manure applications often serve as a source of P via a gradual rel...... hiện toàn bộ
Home Composting for Onsite Treatment of Household Organic Solid Waste: A ReviewCurrent Pollution Reports - Tập 8 - Trang 395-408 - 2022
Jingwen Cheng, Rongrong Yin, Wenhai Luo, Yanming Li, Lingxiao Wang, Ruixue Chang
Home composting is an effective way to treat household waste, but global uptake remains low because of insufficient recognition and technical limits. This review aims to promote the understanding, popularization, and application of home composting by summarizing the facilities, process performance, and product quality, and to sum up the crucial technical limits and potential solve methods. Home co...... hiện toàn bộ
Degradation and Fate of Pharmaceutically Active Contaminants by Advanced Oxidation ProcessesCurrent Pollution Reports - Tập 3 - Trang 268-280 - 2017
Sultan K. Alharbi, William E. Price
The purpose of this review is to investigate the use of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) including ozonation, UV photolysis, Fenton-type processes, UV/H2O2, and other photocatalytic processes to degrade persistent pharmaceutically active contaminants in water. The review focuses on four common pharmaceuticals carbamazepine (CBZ), diclofenac (DCF), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), and trimethoprim (TMP) ...... hiện toàn bộ
Modeling Secondary Organic Aerosols in China: State of the Art and PerspectivesCurrent Pollution Reports - Tập 9 - Trang 22-45 - 2023
Jingyi Li, Haowen Zhang, Lin Li, Fei Ye, Hongli Wang, Song Guo, Na Zhang, Momei Qin, Jianlin Hu
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a huge environmental challenge in China. Based on field studies, secondary organic aerosols (SOA) contribute greatly to PM2.5 formation in many locations. Modeling SOA is a frontier research field in air quality and a rapidly developing field internationally. This review intends to provide a state-of-the-art understanding of the current status of SOA modeling in ...... hiện toàn bộ
Air Pollution Interactions with Weather and Climate Extremes: Current Knowledge, Gaps, and Future DirectionsCurrent Pollution Reports - - 2024
Cenlin He, Rajesh Kumar, Wenfu Tang, Gabriele Pfister, Yangyang Xu, Yun Qian, Guy Brasseur
During the past decade, weather and climate extremes, enhanced by climate change trends, have received tremendous attention because of their significant impacts on socio-economy, public health, and ecosystems. At the same time, many parts of the world still suffer from severe air pollution issues. However, whether and how air pollutants play a role in weather and climate systems through complex in...... hiện toàn bộ
