The automotive sector is undergoing significant transformation towards environmentally sustainable approaches, with circular economy strategies offering a promising pathway for exploration. This presents new challenges for managers and policymakers, as successful implementation is contingent on contextual factors that play an important role in promoting or preventing the adoption of circular economy strategies/practices.

Several wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Europe and elsewhere are aging. As a result, many WWTPs do not meet performance requirements due to the expansion of sewerage networks and the rise of wastewater flow rates. This study examines if the use of hydrocyclones for early removal of suspended solids present in municipal wastewater, upstream of the secondary treatment, can result in decreased energy demands and enhanced operational efficiency compared to a conventional WWTP. Hydrocyclones are crucial solids-liquid separation apparatuses in industry. In this study a hydrocyclone with maximum hydraulic capacity of 50 m³/d, was installed downstream of the primary clarification at the WWTP of Chania, Greece. An efficiency estimation method was employed to assess the effectiveness of hydrocyclone and predict the total suspended solids (TSS) effluent concentration as function of the influent TSS concentrations and surface overflow rate (SOR) values. It was shown that the hydrocyclone achieved a TSS removal rate ranging from 9 % to 48 %, with an average of 33 %, resulting to effluent TSS concentrations varying from 74 to 285 mg/L. The average biological oxygen demand (BOD₅) removal rate of the hydrocyclone was 19 %, with a range of 6 %-42 %, achieving effluent BOD₅ concentrations between 154 and 395 mg/L. The hydrocyclone chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rates were estimated to vary from 2 % to 39 %, with an average of 13 %, and the effluent COD concentrations from 252 to 782 mg/L. Finally, a numerical model was proposed, which fitted the experiment data satisfactory. The implementation of the hydrocyclone system in the WWTP significantly reduces the volume of aeration tanks (9-48 %), oxygen demand (8-42 %), electricity consumption of the aeration tank (17-50 %), and secondary sludge production (11-61 %).

Carp is the most widely farmed fish, and it is necessary to study the mechanism of Cd toxicity and effective mitigation methods for Cd poisoning in carps. We previously found that Cd up-regulated miR-375 in common carp spleens, and that IRS1, a factor involved in glucose (GLU) uptake, was a potential target gene of miR-375. However, whether Cd can decrease GLU uptake ability in fish remains unknown. Oxidative stress (OS) and actin cytoskeleton dysfunction (ACD) can take part in the mechanisms of GLU uptake ability reduction. Lycopene (Lyc) is a natural plant antioxidant, and epithelioma papulosum cyprini (EPC) cells are a model cell to study carps. Therefore, we conducted experiments with Cd or/and Lyc treatments to investigate the mechanisms of Lyc alleviating Cd-cytotoxicity on EPC cells from the perspectives of miR-375, OS, ACD, and GLU uptake ability. We found that Lyc mitigated Cd-caused miR-375 increase, OS, ACD, and GLU uptake ability reduction. Moreover, miR-375 overexpression/knockdown experiments demonstrated that miR-375 mediated OS, ACD, and GLU uptake ability reduction and targeted regulated IRS1-PI3K-AKT. Furthermore, NAC intervention experiment demonstrated that ROS mediated ACD and the reduction of GLU uptake via ROS/IRS1-PI3K-AKT.

After the completion of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD), the water level in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River changes rapidly during the year, and the submerged extent of the Yangtze River sandbars are significantly affected by the change in water level, so that when the water level rises to the defense level or higher, the sandbars may be completely submerged. As a result, different submerged extent such as periodically and long-term have occurred on the typical sandbars. However, the extent to which the submersion of typical sandbars affects the source, composition and content of regional DOM/SDOM in large rivers remains unclear. This study was conducted in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, the characteristics, sources, and influencing factors of DOM were studied using methods such as three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum (EEMS) and parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) to ascertain the response mechanisms of DOM/SDOM distribution patterns in different submerged extents of the Sanba Sandbar (SBS) and Wugui Sandbar (WGS). The results indicated that the source and component characteristics of DOM/SDOM from different submerged extents in typical sandbars exhibited some differences and similarities. The sediment conditions of the local sandbars, physicochemical parameters of the water, and human activities jointly controlled the DOM/SDOM characteristics of the local sandbars. The DOM of long-term submerged sandbars is generated by mixed endogenous and exogenous inputs; its fractions are more complex, and protein-like proteins are the main components; however, periodically submerged sandbars are dominated by inputs from terrestrial sources, and DOM is relatively more strongly humified, hydrophobic, and aromatic. Sediment dissolved organic matter (SDOM) is an important organic component in sediments, which has an important impact on the ecological environment of the water, the material cycle and the migration of pollutants. The endogenous characteristics of SDOM of sandbars with different submerged extents are evident, mostly in the form of land-source inputs; SDOM is similarly dominated by protein-like humus with a relatively high percentage on periodically submerged sandbars. However, the SDOM component of long-term submerged sandbars is more complex than that of periodically submerged sandbars, and SDOM has more hydrophobic and aromatic properties.

However, still challenges related to lack of semantic standards, data quality, and interoperability hinder their integration into official air quality assessments, management, and research. Here, we introduce FILTER, a geospatially scalable framework designed to unify, correct, and enhance the reliability of crowd-sourced PM_2.5 data across various LCS networks. FILTER assesses data quality through five steps: range check, constant value detection, outlier detection, spatial correlation, and spatial similarity. Using official data, we modeled PM_2.5 spatial correlation and similarity (Euclidean distance) as functions of geographic distance as benchmarks for evaluating whether LCS measurements are sufficiently correlated/consistent with neighbors. Our study suggests a -10 to 10 Median Absolute Deviation threshold for outlier flagging (360 h). We find higher PM_2.5 spatial correlation in DJF compared to JJA across Europe while lower PM_2.5 similarity in DJF compared to JJA. We observe seasonal variability in the maximum possible distance between sensors and reference stations for in-situ (remote) PM_2.5 data correction, with optimal thresholds of ∼11.5 km (DJF), ∼12.7 km (MAM), ∼20 km (JJA), and ∼17 km (SON). The values implicitly reflect the spatial representativeness of stations. ±15 km relaxation for each season remains feasible when data loss is a concern.

To achieve these objectives, the effects of the 2022 drought in a portion of the Po River Basin District are analysed through a qualitative application of the System Dynamics methodology called Causal Loop Diagrams, systemic representations that can effectively capture the interdependencies across complex subsystems. The findings reveal that the drought increased production costs across all the water-using sectors due to higher energy demands driven by energy-intensive activities such as irrigation, pumping and potabilization. The empirical results offer a novel insight into the identification and propagation of impacts, providing further evidence on the water-energy nexus. Therefore, policy approaches that enhance blue and green water reserves, while addressing their interconnections, are encouraged for mitigating drought impacts. This underscores the importance of adopting a proactive approach in drought management rather than reactive responses during the occurrence of extreme events. Finally, in fields characterized by high policy fragmentation, such as water policy, the study demonstrates how representing the system behaviour through causal maps can support the integration of different sectoral policies, providing decision-makers with tools to evaluate and address the complexity of droughts.</p>","PeriodicalId":356,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"380 ","pages":"125111"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143750469","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}

Thus, domestic greywater (GW) can be a valuable water source for non-potable purposes, coupled with the benefits provided by a nature-based treatment approach. In this context, green walls have been proposed for GW treatment and local reuse, hence coupling the advantage of GW reuse with the benefits provided by a nature-based treatment approach. The amount of available GW is linked with the occupancy and habits of the inhabitants, but there is still limited knowledge on the impact of variations of GW flow rate on the treatment efficiency and on the health of the green wall. Therefore, this study aims to test the resilience of a modular green wall to variations in GW flow rate over 7 months. The experiments were performed on two configurations fed with synthetic GW: one was fed with a constant flow rate (equivalent to daily GW production per capita) as a reference, while the other received a variable flow schedule. The variable schedule included three phases: underload (-50 %), overload (+50 %) and maintenance flow. Input and output water were analysed to evaluate the treatment performances on fourteen physical-chemical parameters. Results showed that neither underload nor maintenance caused any detrimental effect on GW treatment efficiency or plants. Overload conditions caused a slight decrease in the treatment efficiency (e.g., 93.8 % for BOD₅ compared to 100 % recorded in the control configuration), and plants exhibited visual signs of distress. However, these negative effects disappeared after re-establishing the standard flow rate. These findings demonstrated the resilience of green walls to inflow rate variations.
