In an environmental monitoring program, we often measure important chemical concentrations using calibration-based methods. These methods require fitting a calibration curve repeatedly each time with a small number of standard solutions of known concentrations. This approach is often associated with large estimation uncertainty in the measured concentrations. BHM is a perfect method for reducing calibration curve uncertainty, thereby enhancing the accuracy and stability of the resulting concentration measurements. We demonstrate the effectiveness of a BHM approach by estimating microcystin concentrations from the Lake Erie harmful algal bloom (HAB) monitoring program operated by the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. We introduced a sequential updating algorithm to implement the BHM framework so that the BHM model can be fit and updated one test at a time. By comparing estimated quality control sample concentrations to their known values, we show that the BHM method yields the best accuracy compared to the currently used methods. Due to the sequential updating approach, the BHM can be readily incorporated into a lab without requiring additional changes to lab procedures, thus offering a key advantage over traditional calibration methods. This advancement could reduce health risks and false-positive shutdowns during HAB events.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":276,"journal":{"name":"Chemosphere","volume":"384 ","pages":"Article 144481"},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144222718","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}

This method yields a water-based extract rich in small, soluble molecules, referred to as oxidized liquid extract (OLE), which acts as a growth-promoting substrate for pepper plants (Capsicum annuum). This approach not only enables the conversion of PU waste into plant biomass but also represents an innovative model for circular economy implementation. When applied at low concentrations (diluted 1:5 and 1:10), OLE elicits a hormetic response, enhancing photosynthetic performance, protein content, and photosynthetic pigment levels. Additionally, it stimulates the accumulation of industrially relevant secondary metabolites such as terpenoids and capsaicinoids an effect likely linked to the extract’s high nitrate content. Although short-chain polyols were detected in the fruits of plants treated with the 1:5 dilution, these compounds are biodegradable and widely used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.Moreover, OLE induces favorable shifts in rhizospheric microbial communities, promoting the enrichment of biofertilizing bacterial genera capable of transforming extract derived compounds and enhancing the adsorption of biomolecules secreted by plant roots. This sequential chemical and biological transformation facilitates the complete valorization of a highly recalcitrant polymeric waste, resulting in a bioactive extract that supports plant growth and development. Taken together, this strategy offers a promising and sustainable solution that integrates waste management with agricultural productivity, aligning with the core principles of the circular bioeconomy.<h3>Environmental implication</h3>Polyurethane (PU) waste is highly resistant to degradation, making its disposal environmentally problematic. Traditional recycling methods like glycolysis (180–250 °C, chemical agents) and pyrolysis (400–700 °C, inert atmospheres, metal catalysts) involve harsh conditions and generate partially recoverable, often polluting byproducts (alkylbencenes, hydrocarbons, etc.). In contrast, this study introduces a sustainable alternative using ozonolysis a water-based oxidative process powered by electricity (272<!-- --> <!-- -->W/h), eliminating the need for high temperatures or toxic reagents. This method enables complete PU depolymerization into plant-usable compounds, reducing environmental impact and supporting circular economy goals through waste valorization and sustainable agriculture.","PeriodicalId":361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hazardous Materials","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144228955","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}

The iron oxide facilitated the sintering of ceramic membranes and provided active sites alongside the surface of pores for activation of ozone. The catalytic ceramic membrane exhibited a removal efficiency of 83.1% for a model contaminant of atrazine. Quenching experiment and kinetic model of reactive oxygen species competition demonstrated that hydroxyl radicals contributed 97.1% to the removal efficiency of atrazine. Based on isotope tracer test and density functional theory, Fe atoms were proved to be active sites with an adsorption energy of -2.42 eV. The spatial distribution of hydroxyl radicals was visualized using finite element simulations, revealing how both the compressed diffusion layer and the density of active sites influence hydroxyl radical generation within membrane pores.

This research initially used the Gradient Boost Regression Tree (GBRT) model to construct the urban carbon emission dataset from 1992 to 2021. On this basis, local Moran’s index, Social Network Analysis (SNA), and the Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR) model were employed to analyze spatial–temporal evolution patterns and influencing factors of urban carbon emissions. Additionally, a novel method ranking the importance of nodes based on the Global Average Structural Entropy (GASE) model was proposed to evaluate the influence of nodes in the urban carbon emissions network. The results show that the GBRT model exhibited stronger generalization ability and higher accuracy in estimating urban carbon emissions compared to other regression models. Urban carbon emissions had a significant positive spatial correlation, and the level of spatial aggregation underwent an initial increase, followed by a decrease, and finally, it reached a stable state. Furthermore, the proportion of the ring length (the count of edges within the ring structure) of 2 increased as the density and stability of urban carbon emissions network structures increased. Moreover, the newly proposed GASE model demonstrates superior discrimination and stability in the ranking of node importance. The nodes with high influence in the carbon emissions network were primarily distributed in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD), Pearl River Delta (PRD), Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (BTH), and some provincial capitals. Lastly, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), ratio of Ecological Functional Area (EF), ratio of Urban and Artificial Facilities Functional Area (UAF), and NightTime Light (NTL) progressively enhanced the promotion of urban carbon emissions, while Relief Degree of Land Surface (RDLS) contributed to a gradual reduction in the inhibition of urban carbon emissions.

Frontal zones formed through various oceanographic processes are known to drive FMD distribution and abundance. Since fronts serve as aggregators of both FMD and marine organisms, the identification of coastal FMD accumulation zones in relation to fronts is imperative. Building on previous research on the relationship between frontal frequency and FMD density, this research aims to identify coastal FMD hotspots by examining not only frontal frequency but also processes influencing frontogenesis through statistical modelling of remote sensing data. This 10-year study (2002-2012) was conducted in the coastal waters of the northeast USA because of concurrent availability of real time FMD and satellite imagery datasets. The FMD dataset was collected by the Sea Education Association (North Atlantic), and sea surface temperature (SST) fronts were derived from daily MODIS nighttime SST (1 km x 1 km) using the Cayula and Cornillon histogram method. Concurrent remote sensing data on currents (direction and speed), Finite-size Lyapunov exponents (convergence) and bathymetry were also acquired. Of the nine logistic regression models, the four best fit models indicate that coastal fronts and their frontogenesis, including convergence, current directions and velocity, have a significant influence on FMD accumulation. FMD hotspots are identified as areas with the highest average probability of high density (above 500 pieces/km²) FMD accumulation. Results highlight feasible application of statistical model development based on the premise that fronts are used as indicators of FMD hotspots in coastal regions, areas of high biodiversity and economic value around the globe.","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144229009","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}
