This study comprehensively analyzed the impact of phasing out coal combustion on global emissions and concentrations of air pollutants, radiative fluxes, meteorology and climate using Community Earth System Model 2 (CESM2). The results indicate that after the global phase-out of coal combustion, there is a marked decrease in the concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxides (NO_x) and fine particulate matter (PM_2.5), with some regions experiencing a reduction of exceeding 50%. There is no significant change in global ozone (O₃) concentration. There are decreasing AOD and positive radiative fluxes globally in the short term, though the cloud contributes minor negative radiative fluxes. The global air temperature may increase by approximately (0.02±0.15) °C on average with regional and seasonal variations, and the precipitation may potentially increase by approximately (2.7±40.6) mm yr^-1 globally and over 20% in equatorial regions in the short term. But combined with the decreasing trend of cloud water content in the Northern Hemisphere, it indicates a potential increase in the extremity of precipitation events. This study provides references for global control of air pollution, mitigation strategies of climate change, and transformation of energy structures under the objective of “carbon neutrality”, such as focusing on the negative climate impacts of exacerbating regional warming and increasing extreme precipitation resulting from the rapid reduction of aerosols in the short term.","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142937254","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}

{"title":"Weighted Comprehensive Risk Assessment and Pollution Analysis of Long-Term Printing and Dyeing Sludge Landfills in an Industrialized Chinese City","authors":"Qian Xiang, Dongdong Fan, Liming Zhu, Tongsheng Zhang, Danni Shen, Hui Wang, Bin Dong","doi":"10.1016/j.envpol.2025.125665","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2025.125665","url":null,"abstract":"Sludge landfilling is widely used in China, accounting for approximately 65% of total sludge disposal, due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. However, with increasing land scarcity and stricter environmental regulations, the Chinese government has emphasized reducing sludge landfilling. Despite these efforts, sludge historically disposed of in landfills continues to pose risks, including heavy metal leaching and contamination of groundwater and soil. Comprehensive risk assessments for multi-contaminant industrial sludge in long-term landfills remain limited. This study conducted a risk survey and pollution assessment at a long-term sludge landfill in a typical industrial city in China. The sludge at the site was found to be mildly alkaline (pH 7.30-8.29) and had a low calorific value (1.37E+03-1.61E+03 kcal/kg), with significant dewatering challenges (1.23×10¹⁵ s²/g). The overall pollution load was relatively low, with a regional Pollution Load Index (PLI) of 0.65. However, due to extreme pollutants, the Nemerow Pollution Index (NPI) reached 9.49, indicating severe pollution. The single-factor index assessment indicates high pollution levels for Zn, Sb, BaP, and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs). Ecological risk is primarily associated with Hg, Sb, BaP, InP, and TPHs. However, the weighted comprehensive risk assessment method proposed in the study identifies Zn, Pb, Sb, and TPHs as priority pollutants, with the main pollution hotspots being SZ4, SZ5, and SZ9. Some pollutants, such as Ni, antibiotics, polychlorinated biphenyls, and certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, were not detected in the sludge. Through principal component analysis and positive matrix factorization analysis, multiple sources of pollution at the landfill were identified, including the dyeing industry, electronics manufacturing, traffic emissions, fuel combustion, and urban runoff. This analysis highlights heavy metal pollution (Cr, Hg, Pb) and organic pollutants (PAHs, TPHs, DBA) resulting from industrial and urban activities. The results offer key insights to guide future sludge treatment and disposal at this landfill.","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142937275","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 employed a systematic evaluation approach based on the combination of meta-analysis and quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPR) models to address these issues. A comprehensive meta-analysis based on extensive data from 298 studies on the Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Sampler (POCIS) identified essential configuration parameters, including the receiving phase (type, mass) and the diffusion-limiting membrane (type, thickness, pore size), as key factors influencing uptake kinetic parameters. The incomplete availability of these details across studies potentially impacts data reproducibility and comparability. The subsequent meta-regression and subgroup analysis were performed to reveal the most significant factors contributing to sampling rate variability and inter-study heterogeneity. The flow rate and octanol-water partitioning (K_ow or pH-dependent D_ow) were identified from all environmental factors and chemical properties. Furthermore, the impact of chemical properties on the sampling rates of POCIS was predicted by Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR) models using 2D descriptors and random forest regression. The analysis highlighted that the electrotopological state and molecular mass are the most important chemical properties influencing the sampling rate. This study systematically unraveled the most important impact factors on reliable estimates of passive sampling rates, and these causes of uncertainty should be further considered in aquatic monitoring and assessment with passive samplers.","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142937261","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 effects of natural colloid with different components on the biological toxicity of benzophenone-3 (BP3) to zebrafish larvae (<em>Diano rerio</em>) were studied. BP3 caused oxidative stress damage, thyroid system disorders and neurotoxicity in zebrafish larvae. And in the co-exposure groups, the organic and black carbon mineral (BCM) colloids enhanced the organism's antioxidant system by regulating the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), reducing the lipid peroxidation damage in larvae. BCM colloids caused the thyroid system disorders in organisms, while organic colloids exacerbated the thyroid toxicity by transporting more BP3 into organisms, inducing severe abnormal heartbeats. The BCM and organic colloids regulated the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and/or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-ht) contents by affecting the neuroactive ligand receptor interaction pathway in zebrafish larvae, significantly increasing their swimming speed in co-exposure groups under the light condition. In addition, the effects of colloid-bound and freely dissolved BP3 absorbed by organisms on their physiological and biochemical activities were different. By analyzing the relative expression of the significant differential metabolites affected by BP3 in all experimental groups, it was found that colloid-bound and freely dissolved BP3 had a synergistic effect on most of these metabolites and pathways. However, the freely dissolved BP3 interfered with the purine metabolic pathway by mediating 2-(amidino)-n1-(5-phospho-d-ribosyl)acetamidine, and the tyrosine metabolic pathway by mediating choline and uranylacetic acid, while the colloid-bound BP3 has no or inverse regulatory effects on these three metabolites. This study provided a new perspective for the biotoxicity study of the pollutants in aquatic environment, necessitating a reconsideration of the real ecological risks of emerging pollutants in the presence of natural colloids.","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142940484","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}

Although Be is considered an immobile element, extremely high dissolved concentrations have been detected in groundwater in the legacy Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) of Smaltjärnen, Sweden. Therefore, a detailed study was conducted to determine physiochemical parameters affecting the speciation of Be in the groundwater. Groundwater was sampled from 2016–2024 and filtered through 0.2 μm filters, whereas truly dissolved fraction (&lt;1 kDa) samples were collected with dialysis membrane tubes in situ at groundwater wells. Secondary minerals on the tailings shore were studied by mineralogical methods and sequential extraction to trace the pathway whereby Be entered the downstream surface water. In part of the tailings, dissolved Be was detected in very high concentrations (average: 4.8 mg/L) in suboxic groundwater with pH from 6.0 to 6.4. Dialysis sampling in 2024 showed that more than 90% occurred as truly dissolved Be (&lt;1 kDa). A significant correlation between Be and S was found, suggesting that sulfate complexes kept Be mobile in these pH conditions. Dissolved Be increased with decreased pH, and there is risk that the concentrations will increase further since sulfide oxidation with subsequent decrease in pH will continue for 100 of years in the TSF. In another part of the TSF, the pH was &gt; 6.4 and dissolved Be was below the detection limit, possibly due to formation of Al(OH)₃ (&gt;0.2 μm) together with F and Zn. Secondary minerals on the shore of the tailings functioned as a temporary chemical barrier, scavenging Be primarily by secondary gypsum when present and otherwise by Fe hydr(oxides).","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142940482","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 the present study, we found that exposure of <em>Arabidopsis</em> to <em>Enterobacter aerogene</em> (<em>E. aerogene</em>) volatile pollutants induced autophagy, as indicated by autophagosome formation. The exposure also caused upregulation of autophagy-associated genes, such as <em>ATGs</em>, <em>NBR1</em>, <em>ATI1</em>, and <em>ATG8e</em>-regulating transcription factors. Additionally, exposure to <em>E. aerogenes</em> volatile pollutants induced starch degradation in the roots of <em>Arabidopsis</em> seedlings. Finally, we found that ATG7-deficiency negatively affected the expression of hypoxia-responsive genes (i.e <em>HRE1</em>, <em>HRA1</em>, and <em>ADH1</em>) and starch degradation induced by <em>E. aerogenes</em> volatile pollutants. Overall, our study reveals that microbial volatile pollutants can induce starch degradation and autophagy, which participates in the regulation of some hypoxia-responsive genes and starch metabolism. These findings help to define the role of autophagy in plant nutrient metabolism and regulation of gene expression under microbial volatile pollutant exposure.

To assess potential agroecosystem risks, the adsorption-desorption behavior and mechanism of propyrisulfuron in six typical agricultural soils of China were investigated using a batch equilibrium method, Density Functional Theory (DFT), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy equipped with Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) techniques. It is indicated that the adsorption-desorption of propyrisulfuron in six soils reached equilibrium at 36 hours under the optimum water-to-soil ratio (WSr) of 5:1. Adsorption kinetics followed the quasi-second-order kinetic model, while the Freundlich model best described the adsorption process at equilibrium. The adsorption and desorption were significantly and positively correlated with soil clay content, and 38 environmental factors had varying degrees of influence on its adsorption properties, especially those influenced by microplastics (MPs). Furthermore, the adsorption of propyrisulfuron in six soils was primarily a spontaneous, non-homogeneous, and non-ideal physical process, and special strong forces, such as hydrogen bonding might be involved. Consequently, due to its continuous application, potential persistent residues and pollution may occur in some soils. The investigations systematically reported the adsorption-desorption behavior of propyrisulfuron in various agricultural soils for the first time, providing scientific guidance for environmental risk assessment of groundwater pollution caused by its continuous application in agro-ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":311,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142937268","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}
