However, the accumulation of byproducts such as NO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup>, N<sub>2</sub>O, and NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>, poses a significant challenge to effluent quality and climate adaptation. This study hypothesized that introducing anaerobic ammonium oxidation bacteria (anammox) to BED could alleviate this issue through synergy: a) anammox can utilize NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> and NO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> from BED without producing N<sub>2</sub>O, as seen in canonical denitrification, and b) BED can recycle the NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> from the anammox anabolic pathway. Results showed that Anammox_BED reduced NO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> accumulation by two-thirds, lowered the relative abundance of N<sub>2</sub>O by 80%, and eliminated NO. Metagenomic analysis revealed that the anammox species Ca. Brocadia sapporoensis tripled in abundance in the bulk sludge. <em>Pseudomonas stutzeri</em> and <em>Bosea robiniae</em>, species capable of reducing nitrate via extracellular electron transfer (EET) and supplying NO<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> to anammox, halved in relative abundance, while the abundance of <em>Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila</em>, a non-EET, ammonia assimilation species, doubled following anammox introduction. Metatranscriptomic analysis suggested upregulation of denitrification-related functional genes in Anammox_BED biofilm and survival- and motility- related genes in the bulk sludge possibly due to insufficient substrate. Overall, BED-Anammox successfully diverted the rate-limiting EET nitrite reduction towards anammox-driven nitrite utilization thereby mitigating the generation of unwanted intermediates.<h3>Environmental Implication</h3>Bioelectrochemical denitrification (BED) often results in the accumulation of intermediate products such as nitrite, N₂O, and NO, which is harmful to microbial activity and has significant climate change impacts. This study demonstrates that integrating anammox bacteria into BED effectively reduces the accumulation of nitrite and eliminates the generation of NO through a metabolic synergy. The BED-anammox system has the potential of being a sustainable nitrate treatment technology.","PeriodicalId":361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hazardous Materials","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143745548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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 highly electrophilic PAA and acetoxy(peroxy) radicals were identified as crucial contributors to bacterial inactivation. Biochemical analysis and Density Functional Theory calculations revealed that the system primarily operates through selective intracellular biomolecular oxidation. Electrophilic species preferentially oxidized amino acids with highly local nucleophilicity index, particularly those containing sulfur or nitrogen moieties. This selective oxidation caused protein denaturation, inducing cells into a viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state. Meanwhile, the membrane integrity and metabolic activity was preserved, while oxidative stress and DNA disruption effectively limited bacterial regrowth, proving that this process selectively damages intracellular biomolecules, such as amino acids and DNA. Additionally, the process significantly reduced the abundance of gut microbiota and other pathogens in real BW, highlighting its broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy.

In this study, adult zebrafish were exposed to 5 and 50<!-- --> <!-- -->nM 2,4-DTBP for 60 days. Reduction in cumulative egg production was observed after 45 days of exposure. Gonadal maturation was also delayed in both female and male zebrafish following 2,4-DTBP exposure.

Upon exposure, aromatase (CYP19) and E2 levels were significantly decreased in females, but were increased in males. Additionally, molecular docking revealed potential binding of 2,4-DTBP to estrogen receptors and CYP19, highlighting molecular initiating events that may interfere with steroid hormone synthesis. We also showed that 2,4-DTBP can be transferred to offspring, affecting their development and compromising immunity. The expression of triiodothyronine (T3) and hatching-related genes (<em>esr2α</em>, <em>esr2β</em>, and <em>zhe2</em>) were altered, suggesting that parental exposure to 2,4-DTBP resulted in multigenerational toxicity in F1 larvae.

Two Storm Water Management Models (SWMM) were modified to incorporate overland flow and used to study simulated trends in transport from a hypothetical radiological plume. This modeling suggests that the areas that require evacuation/relocation using pre-calculated response dose limits were reduced by 36-62% due to washoff during a 2-year return 24-hour design storm. The study also found variable amounts of radionuclide removal and endpoints in each city depending on land use and infrastructure capacity. One city had 1.3 times more washoff and 2.3 times more discharge to the receiving water (by total Bq). The greater simulated washoff was attributed to higher impervious land use types in the blast area. The lower simulated discharge to the receiving waters in the other city was due to more internal storage in the model and more losses to street flooding. The study also identified need for precalculated response levels for stormwater specific exposure scenarios to expedite the use of SWMM after an emergency.<h3>Environmental Implication</h3>This paper focuses on the environmental transport of Cesium-137 in urban stormwater.
