Nanoplastic toxicity studies are complicated by the lack of available, well-characterized test and reference materials. Further, many nanoplastic test materials are inherently more polydisperse and heterogenous in shape compared to polystyrene beads, making accurate and representative size distribution measurements particularly challenging. The aim of this study was to conduct an inter-laboratory comparison of dynamic light scattering measurements, the most commonly used particle sizing method for nanomaterials. Using a published standard operating procedure, size measurements in water and a standardized cell culture medium (CCM) were generated for spherical, carboxy-functionalized polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-COOH; 50 nm; benchmark material), and for in-house produced spherical poly(ethylene terephthalate) (nanoPET) and irregular-shaped polypropylene (nanoPP) test materials. The weighted mean of hydrodynamic diameters of PS-COOH dispersed in water (55 ± 5 nm) showed moderate variation between labs (coefficient of variation, CV=8.2%) and were similar to literature reports. Measurements of nanoPET (82 ± 6 nm) and nanoPP (182 ± 12 nm) in water exhibited similar CV values (nanoPET: 7.3% and nanoPP; 6.8%). Dispersion of PS-COOH and nanoPET in CCM increased the CV to 15.1 and 17.9%, respectively, which is lower than literature reports (CV=30%). We conclude with a series of practical recommendations for robust size measurements of nanoplastics in both water and complex media highlighting that strict adherence to a standard operating procedure is required to prevent particle agglomeration in CCM.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"120 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2025-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145283128","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}

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), with their unique structural flexibility, tunable chemistry, and intrinsic semiconductor-like behavior, serve as an ideal platform for designing high-performance homojunction photocatalysts. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in MOFs-based homojunction photocatalysts for sustainable energy production and environmental remediation. We first discuss construction strategies within pristine MOFs, including morphological engineering, hetero-phase engineering, and functional group modification, which enable precise control over electronic and interfacial properties. Next, we comprehensively analyze approaches for fabricating homojunctions from MOFs derivatives, such as hetero-phase engineering, p–n junction engineering, morphological engineering, and doping engineering, highlighting their synergistic effects on charge separation, light absorption, and redox capacity while preserving structural integrity. The applications of these MOFs-based homojunctions are then detailed, showcasing their exceptional performance in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, CO₂ reduction, and pollutant elimination (e.g., Cr(VI), antibiotics, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)), outperforming traditional heterojunction systems. Finally, we outline current challenges and future research directions, providing a roadmap for advancing MOFs-based homojunction photocatalysts toward practical implementation. This review aims to serve as a foundational reference for the rational design of next-generation photocatalytic materials for energy and environmental sustainability.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2025-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145283126","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 objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of stormwater with variably high NaCl concentrations on soluble reactive P (SRP) retention in bioretention media considering the effects of salinization and freshening. Column experiments were conducted using three field bioretention media with and without an aluminum water treatment residual (Al-WTR) amendment added. Columns were exposed to synthetic stormwater influent with NaCl concentrations switching between 10 and 1000 mg/L. Overall, there was net SRP release from the columns with no amendment added, whereas Al-WTR amended columns showed net SRP retention. For non-amended columns, effluent SRP concentrations were significantly higher during the freshening periods compared to the salinization (high salt) and regular (low salt) periods with the timing of maximum SRP concentrations delayed relative to the onset of freshening. The high SRP release during freshening periods co-insided with significantly higher effluent and porewater pH (pH &gt; 9). Iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), Al, pH and oxidation–reduction potential (ORP) data provide insight into possible contributing processes but overall the data highlight the complexity of processes controlling SRP retention and release when media is exposed to variable salt concentrations. Finally, the impact of freshening on SRP retention was limited for Al-WTR amended columns.

This region has documented high rates of dental fluorosis in children and cancer incidence above the national average, likely due to environmental factors. This study assessed the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks associated with groundwater consumption contaminated with fluoride (F⁻) and arsenic (As) using a tiered approach. For this study, 30 samples were collected from wells and springs, and were analyzed for temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, TDS, redox potential, alkalinity, Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, F⁻, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺ and As. Initial exposure points were identified based on Environmental Media Evaluation Guidelines (EMEG), with conservative thresholds set for children at 0.5 mg/L for F⁻ and 0.003 mg/L for As. A deterministic first-tier evaluation calculated the Hazard Quotient (HQ) and Hazard Index (HI) under the \"worst-case scenario,\" revealing HQ &gt; 1 at multiple exposure points, particularly in children. Subsequently, a probabilistic approach using Monte Carlo simulation (10,000 iterations) was applied to incorporate data variability and uncertainty, resulting in probabilistic distributions of Estimated Exposure Dose (EED). The results indicated that 67% of exposure points exceeded safety thresholds for F⁻, while 100% exceeded those for As, confirming unacceptable risk levels, especially for children due to their higher vulnerability. The R code developed, provided as supplementary material, enables replication and adaptation of this methodology to other scenarios. The highest-risk locations identified in this study include wells W-25, W-24, S-3, and W-6, where both fluoride and arsenic concentrations exceeded health-based thresholds in over 75% of probabilistic scenarios. These points supply primarily rural and semi-urban communities with limited access to treated water, heightening the potential public health impact. Given the magnitude of the exceedances—especially for arsenic, which surpassed safe limits at all sampled sites—there is an urgent need to implement affordable treatment technologies, expand groundwater quality monitoring, and integrate these findings into policy reforms aimed at reducing exposure in vulnerable populations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"236 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145256831","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}

We examined the Cherchen River Basin to clarify how aquifer structure, water-table position, and water quality jointly constrain sustainable oasis use. We asked three questions: what are the basin-scale patterns of aquifer architecture and groundwater depth, how do groundwater, irrigation water, and surface water qualities vary spatially, and where salinization is risk most acute. We hypothesized that shallow phreatic levels coincide with salinization hotspots and that proximity to human activities is associated with degraded groundwater quality. Using integrated field surveys, pumping tests, hydrochemistry, geophysics, and GIS mapping, we produced basin-wide layers of groundwater depth and quality and evaluated irrigation suitability against national standards. The aquifer is a thick, single porous system with marked south–north gradients; shallow water tables dominate irrigated zones, indicating high evaporative risk. Groundwater quality is spatially heterogeneous, with localized degradation near human activity; most irrigation sources are usable, although outliers with high salinity and chloride pose soil risks. Surface water quality is generally acceptable but nutrient enrichment warrants attention.
