In this study, BDOC derived from the pyrolysis of wheat straw at three distinct temperatures (300 °C, 450 °C, and 600 °C) was used to investigate its influence on the transport of oxytetracycline (OTC) through saturated quartz sand. The findings demonstrated that BDOC enhanced OTC mobility due to steric hindrance caused by organic matter accumulation, competition for retention sites between OTC and BDOC, and increased electrostatic repulsion between anionic species, including OTC⁻ ions and quartz sand. Notably, the mobility-enhancing effects of BDOC became significantly more pronounced at higher pyrolysis temperatures, likely resulting from increased organic matter deposition on sand surfaces and intensified electrostatic interactions. However, the promoting effect of BDOC on OTC transport was attenuated as pH increased from 5.0 to 9.0, which was attributed to reduced competitive deposition and steric effects caused by BDOC retention. Furthermore, cation-bridging, particularly with Cu²⁺ in the background solution, amplified BDOC’s promotion effects. These results highlight that dissolved organic carbon released from biochar exerts a notable influence on the antibiotics' mobility within the aquifers.","PeriodicalId":73,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Nano","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.131,"publicationDate":"2025-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144825062","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 analysis revealed that multiple environmental variables jointly regulate MP-DOM release: smaller particle size, higher temperatures, and UV-induced aging significantly promoted dissolved organic carbon (DOC) leaching, while solution ionic strength and pH also modulated release behavior, and high DOC release was associated. Biodegradable polymers (e.g., PLA, PBAT) and petroleum-based polymers generally exhibited comparable DOC release capacities. Furthermore, high DOC release was linked to aquatic acidification, resulting in significant reductions in pH. The dissolved organic matter was dominated by hydrophilic components and low-aromaticity fractions, with 78.95% of the SUVA<sub>254</sub> values being below 3 L/(mg·m). And longer aging times and greater microplastic accumulation favored the release of aromatic and hydrophobic components.

Nonetheless, developing efficient methods for the removal of PH3 and its conversion into valuable resources remains a significant challenge. Herein, we reported a novel strategy of N doping in Cu-doped active carbon (Cu-AC) to realize efficient PH3 removal. Introduction of N into Cu-AC induces strong interaction between Cu and N, which greatly promotes the dispersion of Cu species and stabilize the active Cu2+ species of PH3 removal due to the electronegativity of N. In addition, doping N also improves the basic intensity and oxidation capability, which provide high benefits for the adsorption and activation of PH3. As a result, the obtained N-doped Cu-AC (Cu-N-AC) shows exceptional performance for the oxidative removal of PH3 to generate H3PO4 at 70 °C, reaching a high breakthrough capacity of 534.5 mg·g-1, which outperforms most of the previously reported catalysts. The Cu-N-AC can be easily regenerated through water washing and air drying, showcasing its great potential for practical applications.

Over the years, many control methodologies have been developed to get rid of the menace of VOCs. Adsorption has emerged as one of the popular control techniques for the treatment of gas streams containing VOCs. The cost-effectiveness on account of low energy consumption and high efficiency are the two major factors that give adsorption an edge over other techniques like oxidation (thermal and catalytic), condensation, absorption, membrane separation, etc. The VOCs abatement by adsorption, in terms of adsorption capacity, relies on the properties of the adsorbent material such as surface area, pore structure, and presence of functional groups. This review paper encompasses a variety of adsorbent materials (carbon-based, oxygen-based, organic polymers, and composite materials) that are used by numerous investigators to treat different types of VOCs. MOF-based composite materials are future adsorbents as an alternative to zeolites and activated carbon, but further research to address the problem of costly treatment steps is the need of the hour. Magnetic composite materials are also emerging adsorbents for the VOCs removal, which have attracted the attention of many researchers. This comprehensive review of adsorbents enables budding researchers to cautiously scrutinize and select the appropriate adsorbent depending on the characteristics of the target VOCs.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"236 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144814429","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}

Yet, as climate change is increasingly invoked to justify coercive environmentalism, the political consequences of this emerging paradigm remain underexamined. The perceived effectiveness of authoritarian regimes, such as China, in addressing ecological crises is contributing to a shift from participatory to coercive approaches. This trend not only raises the risk of democratic backsliding but also poses concerns about implications for political legitimacy. This paper examines the relationship between coercive governance, environmental crisis management, and political legitimacy. It uses field surveys and interviews to assess how the 2015 deployment of soldiers to enforce fisheries regulations influences support for regime institutions and evaluations of regime performance. The findings show that the militarized policy undermines legitimacy, as indicated by both the widespread opposition it generates and the negative assessments of government, stemming from heightened social inequalities—within and between communities—and reduced community involvement in fisheries management. Additionally, while many participants perceive improved fisheries protection, this does not equate to enhanced legitimacy, as these perceptions do not translate into support for the policy or the government overall. Instead, increased conflict—both between fishers and soldiers, and among the fishers themselves—along with reports of heightened personal insecurity, further suggests that the policy undermines legitimacy. This evidence of failure to secure widespread legitimacy implies that, for long-term sustainability, coercive measures must eventually give way to strategies that foster communal ownership and active participation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":328,"journal":{"name":"Global Environmental Change","volume":"94 ","pages":"Article 103045"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144827462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}
