The impact of contamination of treated water with residues of recalcitrant pharmaceuticals on the ecosystem is now one of the major environmental concerns. Common sunflower, <i>Helianthus annuus</i> (<i>H. annuus</i>), has been reported to remove one of the recalcitrant pharmaceuticals, carbamazepine (CBZ). However, it's potential to tolerate CBZ is not yet characterized. For this, the plant cell suspension system of <i>H. annuus</i> (6.67 g DWL^-1) was used as a model system and within 6 h of exposure to CBZ (15 ppm), 39.47 ± 6.8% was found to be removed with initial removal rate of 0.987 ± 0.17 mg L ⁻¹ h⁻¹. The adsorption equilibrium data was fitted with the Freundlich isotherm and the removal kinetics of CBZ onto plant cells of <i>H. annuus</i> was correlated well with Elovich kinetics. Also, no significant change in the viability and antioxidant levels (Ascorbate peroxidase and Glutathione peroxidase) was observed in the plant cells exposed to higher concentrations of CBZ (15 ppm), demonstrating high tolerance. The finding strongly indicates that <i>in-vitro</i> system of <i>H. annuus</i> holds significant promise as a robust platform for investigating the intricate mechanisms underlying its tolerance to CBZ.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.52,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142200146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a novel hydrophilic carbon cloth electrode modified with Ce/Ni/Cu layered double hydroxide (CeNiCu-LDH@CC) for detecting endocrine disruptors 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and 3-chlorophenol (3-CP). Using a Ce/Ni metal–organic framework (CeNi-MOF) as a precursor, the material is doped with Cu(<small>II</small>) and then alkali-etched into LDH. This process enhances the adsorption sites and surface area of the material, resulting in an electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) of 9.68 cm<small>²</small> for CeNiCu-LDH@CC. The electrochemical tests reveal that Cu(<small>II</small>) doping improves the conductivity of the sensor, enhancing its performance for chlorophenol detection. The sensor detects 2,4-DCP and 3-CP simultaneously with a linear range of 1 to 100 μM and detection limits of 0.197 μM and 0.286 μM, respectively. Moreover, the CeNiCu-LDH@CC sensor demonstrates high recovery rates in real sample tests, indicating its practical application potential. In summary, the CeNiCu-LDH@CC sensor developed in this study shows exceptional sensing capabilities, stability, and selectivity for 2,4-DCP and 3-CP, making it suitable for simultaneous detection of these compounds.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142101396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study was undertaken with two pedogenically different acidic soils (terai and lateritic) in eastern India to estimate their environmental threshold degree of P saturation (DPS) values as an index of the potential risk for P loss. Additionally, this study rigorously evaluates the feasibility of Bray-1 as a standardized extractant for environmental phosphorus loss risk assessment, analogous to the recognized effectiveness of Mehlich-1 across diverse locations. Both Bray-1 and Mehlich-1 methods are equally efficient in determining environmental P-threshold, and the change point DPS at which water-soluble P increased sharply with these extractants was around 20%. The DPS (%) calculated using the Bray-1 method (DPS_B-1) revealed that even a high agronomic soil test rating could not indicate the environmental risk. Based on a multiple linear regression model including soil properties like, clay content (%) and pH analyzed in most soil analysis laboratories along with Bray-1 P, was found to be an efficient method (DPS_est) in predicting change point DPS.

The persulfate (PS) method is a sort of advanced oxidation process that has the advantages of a quick reaction time and a high oxidation capacity. However, in order to be used efficiently for wastewater treatment, PS must be activated in water. In this study, PS was directly loaded onto the precursor to produce an oxidant that could destroy organic contaminants in water synergistically with O₃. The effects of oxidant production circumstances, oxidant dosage, O₃ flow rate, PS dose, and pH value on diclofenac (DCF) degradation efficiency were investigated. The results showed that when the initial concentration of DCF was 100 mg/L, the O₃ flow rate was 0.4 m³/h, the pH value was 3, and the oxidant dosage was 1 g/L, the S₂O₈²⁻/Fe₂O₃-zeolite/O₃ system basically completely degraded DCF within 60 min. The EPR and free radical quenching experiments were used to explore the synergistic degradation of DCF by the S₂O₈²⁻/Fe₂O₃-zeolite/O₃ system. The three possible degradation pathways of DCF were also proposed based on analysis intermediate products analysis with LC–MS.

The groundwater quality in the industrial regions has been significantly contaminated in recent years due to anthropogenic activities, leading to various human health issues. In this study, the groundwater quality and hydrogeochemical characteristics of the Ranipet Industrial Corridor (RIC) were assessed by employing multivariate statistics, standard scatter plots, and the water quality index (WQI). Forty groundwater samples (12 bore wells and 28 open wells) were collected during the post-monsoon (January 2022) season, and the estimation of physicochemical parameters was carried out based on American Public Health Association (APHA) guidelines. The evaporation and rock-water interaction are controlling groundwater hydrochemistry in the study area, as illustrated by Gibbs's diagram. In contrast, 82% of groundwater samples are severely affected by human activity, and 12% are impacted by silicate weathering, illustrated by scatter plots. According to the Chadha diagram, gypsum dissolution is the primary reason for the chemical composition of groundwater in the RIC (87.5%). The primary hydrochemical processes in the study area include silicate weathering, evaporation, ion exchange, and rock-water interaction. The Mukundarayapuram, Navlock, and Melvisharam region’s groundwater quality is unsuitable (92.5%) for irrigation due to the high concentration of sodium, based on Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) results. Anthropogenic activities are the primary cause of groundwater degradation and hydrogeochemical changes, with the groundwater quality of RIC being over 60% very poor.

Despite existing research regarding impact assessment, the study aims to fill knowledge gaps in explaining the ASM’s alliance-building processes, its longstanding maintenance, and its potential for regulatory replicability. Informed by the application of the Baptist and Bootlegger political economic theory of regulation and empirical data from qualitative interviews and document analysis, we provide an actor-centered explanation of the design, adoption, and maintenance of the ASM over a 19-year timeframe. Our results show how NGOs and businesses had opposite motivations and negotiated their roles to form a successful strategic alliance, reinforced by the inclusion of third parties (e.g., technical and governmental actors) to assist in its monitoring and transparency. Developed as an exclusive private market regulation, the ASM agreement, however, relies on a policy mix: private and public actors play a role in implementation, which includes assisting and relying on existing public policies, instruments, and official data. This policy mix was necessary for the ASM’s noteworthy hybrid and long-term governance. Its successful formation in 2006 was enabled by factors including an economic crisis, foreign pressure linked with national enforcement failure, and, most importantly, the Amazon scope. Our analysis shows who gains or loses from the regulatory design. Furthermore, we shed light on the biggest regulatory spillover, to the Cerrado, where the failed attempt at replicability emphasizes the regulatory uniqueness of the ASM. The study concludes with a discussion of what will help or hinder the ASM’s longevity, providing lessons for similar regulatory mechanisms on forest-risk agricultural production, such as EU’s recent Regulation on Deforestation-free Products.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":328,"journal":{"name":"Global Environmental Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":8.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959378024001201/pdfft?md5=7c07b636d4e813e745ff8f714c1e5e3e&pid=1-s2.0-S0959378024001201-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142089719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
