PFOA in soil can enter plants, affect plant growth and threaten food safety. Therefore, understanding the plant utilization and phytotoxicity of PFOA is conducive to assessing the environmental risk of soil contaminated with PFOA. This review analyzed recent studies about the uptake and effects of PFOA on terrestrial plants from the aspects of absorption, transport, distribution, phytotoxicity, and the underlying mechanism. Based on current research, PFOA was predominantly taken by plant roots and showed adverse effects on plants by affecting the antioxidant system and metabolic process. Research in field or higher terrestrial plants is still very scarce. Given the importance of exploring the potential remediation methods for PFOA, more research with comprehensive consideration of soil and environmental factors should be carried out to tell its specific mechanisms of plant utilization and toxicity action.","PeriodicalId":11785,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollutants and Bioavailability","volume":"24 1","pages":"518 - 526"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73487961","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}

Crucial efforts and appropriate measures to utilize the FW and DWW for resources are needed. This paper reviews the conventional treatment techniques, challenges, and associated merits for treating FW and DWW. In the context of this review, DWW is often referred to as blackwater (BW)/feces. Due to the rationale for resource amplification, the review proposed that both mixtures (FW and DWW) be stored in a sub-surface storage tank for several months or years. They are further biodegraded in a bioprocess to generate energy with stabilized digestates. The effluent’s peculiar features are low organic acids with a low pH4 value, offering a stabilized and sanitized effluent. The second proposed route was to integrate anaerobic digestion, composting, and pyrolysis. Anaerobic digestion will offer bioenergy and digestates. Composting will cater to compost production and avert digestate drying and heating costs during pyrolysis. The pyrolysis of the digestates will generate biochar and bioenergy materials, while improved bioprocess performance is attained with the simultaneous biochar utilization in the bioprocess. The integrated technological routes can valorize DWW and FW for maximum resource recovery and sustainable development in a real-world context. The concept can be applied to an existing facility to create a cleaner and more efficient DWW with FW recycling. However, a comprehensive techno-economic analysis must be conducted.","PeriodicalId":11785,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollutants and Bioavailability","volume":"104 1","pages":"501 - 517"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79228807","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}

The adsorption performance for arsenate was improved by 19.9% or 49% after swelling by nitrobenzene or pyridine solvent, respectively. The swelling process did not change the morphologies and structures of the fibers. The pyridine solvent as the swelling agent improved the adsorption performance of the nanofiber membrane by about 45% in 1 hour.

This synergetic action was also observed on Fv/Fm, chlorophyll a, and phycobiliprotein. The increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malonaldehyde demonstrated that antibiotic exposure caused severe oxidative stress, which can destroy the membrane system, hinder photosynthesis and finally inhibit cell growth. The antioxidant enzyme activities were improved significantly, especially in the joint exposure treatment, which indicates that the antioxidant defense system can be activated to scavenge ROS. The release of microcystins (MCs) was accelerated under single or combined antibiotic exposure. The promotion of MCs discharge from cyanobacteria caused by the co-occurrence of CLA and LEV in water environment may pose a severe ecological risk to ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":11785,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollutants and Bioavailability","volume":"10 1","pages":"482 - 495"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73902823","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}

The results showed a more significant decrease in alkene functional groups in oxium plastics than in HDPE. In addition, there was a change in the oxium functional group with the formation of carbonyl, ether, and primary alcohol. The growth rate of D. salina decreased significantly after interaction with oxidized HDPE microplastics compared to oxium interaction. We established that oxium plastics have a faster biodegradation ability owing to the addition of additives to the plastic.

Navier Stokes equations and conservation of mass, coupled with the phase field method, are employed to investigate the effect of soil wettability on oil pollutants migration into the soil porous media. The results show that the oil-water interface in the migration process does not advance evenly in three wetting states. When the model system is in oil-wetting state, oil pollutants obviously migrate at a higher speed. Through monitoring the evolution of oil front location and analyzing the velocity distribution vertical to the flow direction at the central axis of the model, the channel corresponding to the peak velocity is the dominant flow channel for the oil pollutants. This study will have the potential ability in obtaining the pore-scale migration regulation of oil pollutions as well as more accurately predicting the pollution range.","PeriodicalId":11785,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollutants and Bioavailability","volume":"21 1","pages":"446 - 455"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87719904","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}
