The restriction policies adopted in response to the spread of COVID-19 had a significant effect on air pollution. In this paper, we studied the changes in air pollution in Beijing from 2019 to 2023 and the associated impact on premature mortality. PM<sub>2.5</sub>, NO<sub>2</sub>, SO<sub>2</sub>, and CO concentrations have continued to decrease since the COVID-19 outbreak. Notably, the decrease in “Traffic” stations in 2020 exceeded that of “Urban” and “Rural” stations. This reflects the significant suppression of anthropogenic emissions, especially traffic emissions, in Beijing during the COVID-19 lockdown period. When the lockdown was eased in 2023, the concentrations of PM<sub>2.5</sub>, PM<sub>10</sub>, and NO<sub>2</sub> increased to varying degrees (approximately 10%–40%). The AQI reflects the same characteristics, with continuous improvement from 2019 to 2022 and deterioration in 2023. In summer, the AQI was affected mainly by the lockdown policy, whereas in winter, the effects of the policy were superimposed by atmospheric conditions. The AirQ+ results show that the COVID-19 restrictions significantly reduced the attributable fraction of deaths due to air pollution. However, PM<sub>10</sub>, NO<sub>2</sub>, and O<sub>3</sub> still pose considerable threats to the respiratory and circulatory systems of Beijing residents. Even if the concentration of pollutants decreases, the estimated number of deaths may still increase in the context of the continued increase in the population at risk; thus, it is necessary for local authorities to focus on controlling air pollution.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":10306,"journal":{"name":"Clean-soil Air Water","volume":"54 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149146288","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}

Integrated use of mineral fertilizer and biochar is an effective strategy to improve soil fertility and promote sustainable agricultural productivity. In the current research, the effect of different biochar doses in combination with reduced fertilizer dose was assessed on two rice varieties V1 (Super Basmati) and V2 and Al-Khalid Basmati). During the planting phase, four different treatment combinations including BF1 (0 t ha<sup>−1</sup> biochar + 149: 89: 62 kg ha<sup>−1;</sup> NPK) and 5 t ha<sup>−1</sup> (biochar F2), 10 t ha<sup>−1</sup> (biochar F3), and 15 t ha<sup>−1</sup> (biochar F4) biochar doses with + 80% of recommended fertilizer (119: 71: 50 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>; NPK) were added in the soil before conducting ongoing experiment.

In conclusion, the performance of BF2 followed by BF3, FB4, and BF1 improved yield irrespective of varietal differences. In addition, higher rice productivity was affirmed by V2 variety as compared with V1.

Incorporation of CaFe-LDH increased the BET specific surface area from 6 to 28 m<sup>2</sup> g<sup>−</sup><sup>1</sup> and enhanced phosphate adsorption.

Hence, this study aims to examine the impact of PP-MPs on the growth, hematobiochemical parameters, erythrocytes, and histopathology in male Nile tilapia (<i>Oreochromis niloticus</i>). Juvenile Nile tilapia was exposed to water-borne PP-MPs (0, 0.1, 1, and 10 mg/L) for 28 days in glass aquaria in a chronic semi-static exposure system. Specific growth rate (SGR) was calculated on the basis of established formulas, hematological and biochemical parameters, and histology were assessed using standard laboratory protocols; and subsequently histopathological slides were evaluated microscopically. Weight gain and SGR were reduced significantly, with the highest concentration (10 mg/L) showing the most noticeable decline. A marked decrease in red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin (Hb) levels, and packed cell volume (PCV) was noted. Conversely, white blood cell (WBC) count and blood glucose levels significantly increased, indicating a physiological stress response. Nuclear abnormalities such as blebbed nuclei, karyopyknosis, micronuclei, notched nuclei, and nuclear bridges were observed, indicating potential genotoxic effects. Cellular abnormalities, including fusion, teardrop, twin cells, and spindle-shaped erythrocytes, were noted, reflecting structural deformities in cell morphology.

It evaluates the groundwater quality using samples collected from 76 locations (wells, tube wells, and hand pumps) in the pre-monsoon season. Groundwater Quality Index (GWQI) and Fuzzy GWQI (FGWQI) assessments depicted water quality varying from “unsuitable” to “excellent” across the district. Principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) were employed to isolate the underlying geogenic and anthropogenic factors, while saturation indices computed via PHREEQC confirmed the supersaturation and active precipitation of carbonate minerals.
