The resulting disinfection byproducts (DBPs) and residual antiviral drugs, acting as genotoxic substances or their precursors, may pose risks to aquatic animals and drinking water sources; however, to date, no studies have analyzed the changes in genotoxicity in the Yangtze River before and after the epidemic. In the present study, water and sediment samples from the Yangtze River were collected during different seasons, just before and after the outbreak of COVID-19, and were assessed using the SOS/umu test (with and without liver S9). The results indicated that water samples exhibited more pronounced genotoxicity than did sediments, with direct genotoxicity being the primary factor. Additionally, there were significant regional differences, with notably greater genotoxicity observed in the upper Yangtze River than in the lower reaches before the COVID-19 epidemic. However, this trend was reversed six to ten months later, suggesting the accumulation of DBPs or antiviral drugs after the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the risk quotient indicated that 65% of the water samples posed a high risk for Paramecium caudatum, whereas 71% of the samples posed a medium risk for Danio rerio, thereby representing a potential threat to the ecological security of the Yangtze River. In conclusion, this study, at the basin scale, revealed the impacts of COVID-19 on the Yangtze River, highlighting the need to prevent DBPs and pharmaceutical pollution during similar events in the future.\u0000","PeriodicalId":12720,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256302","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}

In sunlit surface waters, photochemical transformation plays a crucial role in determining the fate of antibiotics. This study presents a comprehensive examination of the photo-transformation degradation kinetics, pathways and photoinduced toxicity of three widely detected tetracyclines (TCs): tetracycline (TC), oxytetracycline (OTC), and chlortetracycline (CTC). Under simulated sunlight (λ > 290 nm), their apparent photolysis followed pseudo-first-order kinetics, with rate constants significantly increasing from H2TCs0 to TCs2−. Through competition kinetic experiments and matrix calculations, it was found that the anions HTCs− or TCs2− (pH ∼ 8–10) were more reactive toward hydroxyl radicals (•OH), while TCs2− (pH ∼ 10) reacted the fastest with singlet oxygen (1O2). Considering the dissociated species, the total environmental photo-transformation half-lives of TCs were determined, revealing a strong dependence on the water pH and seasonal variation in sunlight. Generally, apparent photolysis was the dominant photochemical process, followed by 1O2 and •OH oxidation. Different transformation pathways for the three reactions were determined based on the key photoproducts identified using HPLC-MS/MS. Toxicity tests and ECOSAR software calculations confirmed that the intermediates produced by the •OH and 1O2 photo-oxidation processes were more toxic than the parent compounds. These findings significantly enhance our understanding of the complex photochemical fate and associated risks of TCs in aqueous environments.\u0000","PeriodicalId":12720,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256301","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}

Nanozymes, which have intrinsic biocatalytic activity and broad antibacterial spectra, hold promise for controlling resilient biofilms. This review summarizes the milestones of nanozyme studies and their applications as antibiofilm agents. The mechanisms behind the antibacterial, quorum quenching, and depolymerizing properties of nanozymes with different enzyme activities are discussed. Notably, the surface and composition of nanozymes are crucial for their efficacy in biofilm control; thus, rationally designed nanozymes can increase their effectiveness. Additionally, the challenges of nanozymes as antibiofilm agents in realistic scenarios are investigated along with proposed strategies to overcome these challenges. Prospects of nanozyme-based biofilm control, such as machine learning-assisted nanozyme design, are also discussed.

Owing to the large amounts of Fe(II), acids, and alkalis added in the reaction, large amounts of Fenton sludge are produced, increasing treatment costs and restricting the method’s application. In this study, we developed a three-dimensional electro-Fenton system by adding iron-carbon filler and investigated the effects of different electrolytic cell structure arrangements, particle electrode dosages, sponge iron (SI) to granular activated carbon (GAC) dosage ratios, current densities, H2O2 dosages, and cathodic aeration on nitrobenzene (NB) wastewater treatment. The optimal system conditions were a particle electrode dosage of 100 g/L, SI:GAC mass ratio of 3:1, current density of 30 mA/cm2, H2O2 dosage of 50 mmol/L, cathodic aeration of 0.8 L/min, and hydraulic retention time of 120 min. The average NB removal rate and chemical oxygen demand reached 67.38%±1.05% and 70.60%±1.15%, respectively, for which the increase in Fenton sludge was 891.8 mg/L. Different from the traditional Fenton process, additional Fe(II) was not required in the process used herein, reducing iron sludge accumulation and lowering the operating costs of using Fenton sludge as a hazardous waste treatment. In addition, the process applied in this study was able to reduce the chemical amounts used and increase the treatment efficiency. The reductions in sludge treatment costs and secondary pollutants make the proposed process an efficient and sustainable alternative for treating NB wastewater.\u0000","PeriodicalId":12720,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256300","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 study investigated the causes of summertime maximum daily 8-h average (MDA8) O3 variation between 2015 and 2020 in Nanjing, China, a megacity in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region, from the perspective of meteorological conditions and anthropogenic emissions of O3 precursors (VOCs and Nox). Compared with 2015, the observed MDA8 O3 decreased by 19.1 µg/m3 in August 2020. The indirect and indirect impacts of meteorological conditions contributed 44% of the decline, with temperature, relative humidity, and wind playing important roles in the O3 variation. The O3 drop by 10.7 µg/m3 (56% of the total decrease) may have been due to the decreases in anthropogenic emissions of VOCs and NOx by 7.8% and 11.7%, respectively. The longer hydroxyl (OH) radical chain length and higher ozone production efficiency (OPE) indicated that the reduction of anthropogenic emissions accelerated the ROx (ROx = OH + HO2 + RO2) and NOx cycles in O3 production, making O3 more sensitive to NOx. This corresponded to the O3 formation shifting from a VOC-limited regime in 2015 to a transition regime in 2020 and O3 decrease with anthropogenic emission reduction. Hence, the joint control of O3 precursor emissions can effectively mitigate O3 pollution in Nanjing.","PeriodicalId":12720,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering","volume":"194 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256303","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}

In this study, the potential binding affinity and underlying binding mechanism between 29 ECs from 7 chemical groups and Gobiocypris rarus transthyretin (CrmTTR) are investigated and probed using in vitro and in silico methods. The experimental results demonstrate that 14 selected ECs (11 disinfection byproducts, 1 pharmaceuticals and personal care product, 1 alkylphenol, 1 perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substance) are potential CrmTTR binders. The CrmTTR binding affinity of three ECs (i.e., 2,6-diiodo-4-nitrophenol (logRP(T4) = 0.678 ± 0.198), 2-bromo-6-chloro-4-nitrophenol (logRP(T4) = 0.399 ± 0.0908), tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (logRP(T4) = 0.272 ± 0.0655)) were higher than that of 3,3′,5,5′-tetraiodo-L-thyronine, highlighting that more work should be performed to reveal their potential endocrine related harmful effects on Gobiocypris rarus. Molecular docking results imply that hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interactions are the dominated non-covalent interactions between the active disruptors and CrmTTR. The optimum mechanism-based (for CrmTTR), and high throughput screening (for CrmTTR, little skate-TTR, seabream-TTR, and human-TTR) binary classification models are developed using three machine learning algorithms, and all the models have good classification performance. To facilitate the use of developed high throughput screening models, a tool named “TTR Profiler” is derived, which could be employed to determine whether a given substance is a potential CrmTTR, little skate-TTR, seabream-TTR, or human-TTR disruptor or not.","PeriodicalId":12720,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256304","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}

Therefore, a systematic regional-scale investigation of soil heavy metal pollution in mining areas is necessary for soil management. In this study, 5817 soil samples from the Huainan coal mining area collected for studies conducted from 2000 to 2021 were compiled to quantify the pollution level and spatiotemporal variation of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr, Cd, As, Hg, Ni, and Mn). The associated ecological health risk of heavy metals in soil was assessed using the Hakanson ecological hazard index, Monte Carlo simulation in conjunction with the total hazard quotient, and the hazard index. Cd was the top contaminant, followed by Hg. In terms of spatial distribution, heavy metal contamination was more severe in the eastern area of Fengtai and Datong districts, because these districts of Anhui Province are significant industrial regions. In addition, the results of the Monte Carlo evaluation of human health risks showed that the total noncarcinogenic risk of heavy metals in soil is below the acceptable level, while the carcinogenic risk was 5.97% for adults and 15.53% for children. As accounted for 57.4% of noncarcinogenic risk, Cr contributed 36.1% of carcinogenic risk. Compared with adults, children are more vulnerable to the carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic risks posed by heavy metals, with oral consumption being the primary exposure route.

Persulfate, when activated by various catalysts, can produce oxidative species, demonstrating promising potential in remediating organic wastewater. In recent years, numerous studies have unveiled that persulfate can be readily decomposed into nonradicals, which exhibits high selectivity toward pollutants and robust performance in complex wastewater environments. However, the challenges in identifying non-radicals and the unclear catalytic mechanism hinder its further application. This paper critically reviews the research progress on non-radical oxidation in persulfate-based heterogeneous catalytic system. The main advancements and existing challenges in three non-radical oxidation pathways, i.e., singlet oxygen, electron transfer, and high-valent metal oxides, are summarized, and the key factors influencing the production of nonradicals are elaborated.
