Environmental Justice (EJ) screening tools, such as CalEnviroScreen, EJ Map, and PennEnviroScreen, have been developed to help state and federal governments gauge the extent of EJ in their jurisdictions. These screening tools have propelled the EJ advocacy initiative, illustrating the historic and ongoing disproportionate effects of contamination in many BIPOC communities. Yet, screening tools and their indicators vary, and we must understand how these tools and indicator choices differently identify at-risk communities, including those facing drinking water violations. We investigate how indicator choices differently identify and affect communities facing such violations. Specifically, we examine how EJ screening tools differently identify at-risk communities experiencing drinking water violations, which indicators drive these differences, and how indicator choice affects community identification. Our analysis reveals that EJ screen indicators preferentially identify at-risk, low-income, unemployed, BIPOC renters. However, additional indicators such as middle-income and food insecurity/SNAP can expand identification to ensure actions reach neglected communities. By developing and enhancing EJ screening tools, we can better determine which drinking water violations are present, identify who is being affected by them, and better direct our mitigation efforts to communities in need of assistance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100257,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Water","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100035"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2950263224000334/pdfft?md5=1ec5325356495fb91a10369348a62c1b&pid=1-s2.0-S2950263224000334-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142095481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effectiveness of the main operational parameters such as current intensity, initial Cr (VI) concentration, initial pH as well as solution conductivity was examined. All experiments were carried out in an electrocoagulation cell with an effective volume of 400 mL using two electrode combinations as anode/cathode (Al/Ti and Al/Ni). It was found that the Al/Ti combination exhibits higher removal efficiency than Al/Ni under the same operational conditions. Cr (VI) removal efficiencies of 90.93 % and 84.30 % were respectively observed for the Al/Ti and Al/Ni electrodes with an optimal initial pH (pH=6). The maximum current intensity, the maximum initial Cr (VI) concentration as well as the NaCl concentration were 0.4 A, 10 mg/L Cr(VI) and 1.5 g/L respectively. Response surface methodology by the mean of central composite design was performed. The influence of current intensity (100–300 mA), electrolysis time (10–30 min) and interelectrode spacing (1–3 cm), the probability and the mathematical model were highly discussed. According to the experimental design results, the removal of Cr (VI) in the real tannery effluent was up to 99.58 %. For the aforementioned efficiency it requires the optimum values of 211.891 mA, 36.8179 min and 1.609 cm for current intensity, time and the interelectrode spacing, respectively.

This study introduces a pioneering method for treating wastewater employing a sequential approach of hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) coupled with subsequent ozonation (O3). This research examined the process of purifying rainwater collected from the Rankala Lake quarry in Kolhapur, India. The treatment, which lasted for approximately 7 hours each day over a span of three weeks, resulted in notable enhancements in water quality. The initial greenish discoloration and bad odor were notably eradicated within a week, without any chemical additives. The microbial burden decreased significantly from 10⁵ CFU/mL to 10² CFU/mL, indicating a strong level of disinfection. The COD decreased significantly from 110 ppm to less than 10 ppm, while the BOD decreased dramatically to undetectable levels (0 ppm) from 55 ppm. In addition, there was a slight change in the concentration of chloride, water hardness, clarity, and total dissolved solids (TDS). This exemplifies the efficacy of the cavitation process coupled with ozonation for converting polluted, discolored, and malodorous water into purified water appropriate for diverse uses.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100257,"journal":{"name":"Cleaner Water","volume":"2 ","pages":"Article 100033"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2950263224000310/pdfft?md5=f07263d82a84c1caffe71aea79a0fb9d&pid=1-s2.0-S2950263224000310-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142011878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective of this study is to investigate the suitability and performance of modified peat soil as an adsorbent for the removal of NH₃-N from POME. The chemical activation method was performed using readily available NaOH for the first time to improve the adsorption performance of naturally available low-cost peat soil. The physical properties of raw and modified peat soil were determined using water-holding capacity, moisture content, bulk density, porosity, and BET surface area. The adsorbents were also characterized by SEM and FTIR to investigate surface morphology and chemical composition. To optimize the experimental parameters namely adsorbent dosage, agitation rate, and contact time for removal of NH₃-N from POME, response surface methodology (RSM) was employed in this study with two different activation ratios. Substantial improvement of physical properties was attained after the modification of raw peat soil. The SEM images of modified peat soil showed a more porous space structure with larger voids while the FT-IR demonstrated the distinctive functional groups in the raw and modified peat soil. At optimized conditions of 5.71 g/L adsorbent dosage, 50 rpm agitation rate, and 38.96 min contact time predicted removal efficiency of NH₃-N has been revealed 64.06 and 58.74 % at 1:20 and 1:30 activation ratios, respectively. The experimental investigation using optimized parameters showed 69.12 ± 2.5 and 61.57 ± 4.3 % removal of NH₃-N. The experimental and predicted results showed good agreement. The rapid removal of NH₃-N (69.1 % within 39 min) was achieved by chemically modified peat soil in this study compared to previously reported studies.

It has been projected that around 4 billion humans would lack access to pure water by 2025. Thus, for a sustainable lifestyle, it is imperative to improve water quality. Conventional water and wastewater treatment technologies involve various chemical processes such as coagulation and disinfection and physical methods such as filtration and adsorption. For these processes, various chemicals are being used such as alum and lime in coagulation, chlorine and bromine in disinfection, and activated alumina, silica gel and zeolites in adsorption. However, such chemicals have high procurement cost and display negative impacts on environment and human health, due to which plant based coagulants, adsorbents, and disinfectants are now being majorly tested for water and wastewater treatment methods. The objective of this review article is to provide a recent update on plant derived coagulants, adsorbents, and disinfectants for the treatment of water and wastewater. This review article critically examines the various conventional plant based water cleaning methods and discusses their mechanisms. Prior to this study, plant-based coagulants, adsorbents, and disinfectants have been mainly separately reviewed, but a proper combined study is lacking. The present manuscript highlights the procedure of water and wastewater treatment plants first and then discusses all the three plant based water treatment methods sequentially. This study may be useful for the development of an efficient water and wastewater treatment method employing plant based coagulants, adsorbents, and disinfectants.

Because of their persistence and capacity for bioaccumulation, these pollutants—which include nutrients, heavy metals, organic compounds, microplastics, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), and emerging contaminants—pose serious threats to the environment and human health. Innovative solutions are required since traditional wastewater treatment procedures frequently fail to efficiently eradicate VECs. The review carefully looks at how well microalgae can break down and remove VECs from wastewater. It clarifies the numerous processes, including as biosorption, bioaccumulation, and biotransformation, by which microalgae aid in the elimination of pollutants. Contaminants can be ingested by microalgae, which can then metabolise them into less toxic compounds or incorporate them into biomass. This study examines how adding microalgae to traditional treatment methods can improve both overall treatment effectiveness and operational stability. Operational challenges such as maintaining optimal growth conditions for microalgae, scalability of bioreactor systems, and the need for continuous monitoring and control are thoroughly discussed. The analysis highlights several avenues for future research, such as genetically modifying microalgae strains to enhance pollutant degradation, creating more effective bioreactor designs, and incorporating cutting-edge monitoring systems. The analysis indicates that although microalgae-based bioreactors have great potential to remove VECs, further investigation and developments in technology are needed to fully realise this potential in large-scale wastewater treatment applications.
