This study develops the first nationally validated BC inventory for Jordan, projects emissions to 2050, and evaluates associated health and climate impacts alongside mitigation potential using the Low Emissions Analysis Platform-Integrated Benefits Calculator (LEAP-IBC). Emission factors were locally validated through literature review and consultation with more than 40 national experts, replacing generic global defaults. The results estimate Jordan's 2022 BC emissions at 6,977 tonnes (95% CI: 2,582-7,460 tonnes), with the transport sector contributing 59% ± 8% and the energy sector accounting for the remainder, both dominated by diesel combustion. Comparison with global datasets shows systematic underestimation of national emissions by factors of 2.8-4.5, consistent with findings for other countries. BC climate impacts are found to vary substantially with the choice of GWP metric: 2022 emissions are estimated at 2,480-23,004 GgCO₂-eq, with GWP₍₂₀₎ assumptions (1,200-3,200) producing higher estimates than GWP₍₁₀₀₎ assumptions (345-900).. By 2050, BC climate impacts are projected at 6,034-55,970 GgCO₂-eq, with GWP₍₁₀₀₎ yielding lower values (6,034-15,742 GgCO₂-eq) than GWP₍₂₀₎ as its impact is diluted when averaged over 100 years. Model projections suggest that BC's share of PM_2.5 exposure will nearly double from 1.7% to 3.3% by 2050, with more than 90% of the associated health burden linked to cardiovascular diseases in an aging population. Coordinated mitigation across the transport and energy sectors could reduce BC emissions by up to 53% relative to baseline scenario, with priority strategies including Euro VI vehicle standards, public transport electrification, industrial efficiency improvements, and accelerated renewable energy deployment.</p>","PeriodicalId":48496,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research Communications","volume":"7 11","pages":"115003"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13193056/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148018295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study quantified eight heavy metals—iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and cadmium (Cd)—in suspended solid particles collected from ten sites along a 210-kilometer stretch between Kanpur and Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, in July 2024. Suspended particulates were isolated by membrane filtration and analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Median concentrations (μg/g) were Fe (47,246), Mn (940), Zn (206), Cr (122), Pb (65.5), Ni (64.8), Cu (61.3), and Cd (1.61), with the highest values for Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb, and Cu observed at Nawabganj and Manikpur. Enrichment Factor (EF) analysis, using Fe as the reference element, indicated minor anthropogenic enrichment for Pb (1.32), Cd (1.27), Zn (1.20), Cr (1.13), and Ni (1.07), particularly at Dalmau Bridge, Unchahar, Nawabganj, and Manikpur. Mn and Cu showed EF values below 1, suggesting predominantly natural origins, although strong inter-metal correlations point to potential industrial sources for Cu. Multivariate statistical tools (PCA, clustering) revealed spatial contamination patterns and identified Nawabganj and Manikpur as consistent pollution hotspots. Compared to global rivers, the Ganga exhibited significantly higher suspended solid heavy metal loads (e.g., Pb: 65.5 μg g −1 versus Yangtze: 43 μg g −1 ). These findings underscore the urgent need for site-specific pollution control, stricter discharge regulations, and long-term ecological monitoring. This study provides a replicable framework for riverine metal pollution assessment and supports sustainable management initiatives like the Namami Gange program.","PeriodicalId":48496,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research Communications","volume":"7 11","pages":"115015-115015"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147918865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Green Stormwater infrastructure (GSI) alters local landscapes and uses natural flora to manage stormwater and mitigate flooding, but it may also influence groundwater hydrology, and contaminant fate and transport. This multidisciplinary project engaged with community groups to develop and implement a low-cost, citizen-led groundwater monitoring program at the GSI sociotechnical interface in Detroit, MI (USA). GSI installations were constructed at a historic property in urban Detroit, MI. Groundwater monitoring wells were installed throughout the property and at a nearby community-maintained, long-term reference GSI for comparison. From April to October 2021, groundwater and contaminant levels in wells and adjacent soil were assessed using affordable products that citizen science groups could easily employ. Implementing this monitoring program, we identified the significant role GSI plays in increasing groundwater recharge, nutrient and coliform levels. Data collected show slight increases in hydraulic head, especially near GSI, after installation, enhancing groundwater recharge. Before and after MODLOW models of the site show that the GSI also impacted local groundwater flow. Soil nitrite was higher, and <i>E. coli</i> was lower near GSI installations. However, total coliform counts increased over time near GSI. These results have implications for hyperlocal flooding concerns and pollution monitoring in a post-industrial urban setting. Partnering with community groups allowed researchers to engage with local concerns and provided opportunities to share outputs for community-facing planning and education. This article discusses the results of groundwater monitoring and testing and explores how multidisciplinary research can facilitate integrating academic research with local concerns.

Most cases of AD develop sporadically, however, there are several risk factors that have been identified which significantly increases an individual's risk for developing AD. The most prominent of these is Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4), which can potentially result in an up to 10-fold greater risk of developing AD. The presence of APOE4 alone, however, cannot be solely responsible for AD as the disease may occur even in the absence of APOE4. Therefore, there must be other contributing factors such as exposure to environmental toxins including heavy metals and pesticides, which have independently been shown to contribute to AD. Nano- and microplastics (NMPs) are plastic particles less than 1 μm and 5 mm in size, respectively, and have only recently been identified as a major environmental pollutant with serious health concerns. Given the adverse health effects that are increasingly being associated with NMPs exposure, we sought to understand how the combination of APOE4 and NMPs exposure may work synergistically to promote cognitive dysfunction and alter key regulatory pathways to impact overall health. Following a short-term (3 week) exposure to pristine spherical fluorescently-labeled 0.1 and 2 μm polystyrene (PS) NMPs, we found significant sex-dependent alterations in locomotor and recognition memory in APOE4 mice, but not in APOE3 controls. We additionally found that exposure to PS-NMPs resulted in sex and genotype specific alterations in astrocytic and microglial markers in the brain, and in CYP1A1, a major metabolizer of environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, in the liver. These results suggest PS-NMPs may interact with the APOE4 allele to promote cognitive dysfunction and alter immune and metabolic pathways which may contribute to disease-like states.</p>","PeriodicalId":48496,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research Communications","volume":"7 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12526175/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145309684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pregnancy is typically characterized by the production of several important hormones that impact aspects of maternal and fetal physiology, including progesterone, estriol, and corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH). No previous studies have examined PM associations in pregnant persons for CRH and estriol. <i>Methods.</i> We used linear mixed effects models to investigate associations between PM_2.5 and pregnancy hormones in 1,041 pregnant persons ages 18-41 living in Puerto Rico between 2011 and 2020. Individual 3-, 7-, and 30-day moving average exposures were assigned from EPA data sources. Hormone levels were analyzed in blood collected at study visits at 16-20 and 20-24 weeks of gestation.

Using monthly monitoring data of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), ammonia nitrogen (NH 3 -N), and permanganate index (COD Mn ) collected from designated monitoring stations along the Liuchong River and the upper reaches of Wujiang River between 2020 and 2023, this study aims to understand the primary drivers and influencing mechanisms behind the observed variations in N and P concentrations. The findings revealed that from 2020 to 2023, the TP concentration exhibited a consistent decline, while the TN, NH 3 -N, and COD Mn concentrations displayed nonlinear fluctuations in both the river and reservoir sections. The average nitrogen-to-phosphorus (N/P) ratio frequently exceeded 55, indicating phosphorus limitation within water bodies. The reservoir areas demonstrated a retention effect on N and P, with TP retention rates exceeding those of TN. This differential retention significantly increases the risk of eutrophication in reservoir waters. Rainfall-induced runoff variations were identified as the primary driver of N and P distribution, while retention effects and internal loading functioned as dual regulatory factors influencing the nutrient cycling dynamics within the reservoir. This study elucidates the influence and underlying mechanisms of the river-reservoir overlapping system on the spatial and temporal distribution of N and P in water bodies. The findings offer a scientific basis for safeguarding groundwater ecosystems, particularly in the context of cascade reservoir construction in the Wujiang River basin.","PeriodicalId":48496,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Research Communications","volume":"7 3","pages":"035021-035021"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147878022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study extends insights from research focusing on quantitatively assessing the feasibility of a 1.5 °C future to build a multidimensional framework for measuring different barriers to achieving co-benefits. The framework offers a novel yet generalizable approach for bringing context-appropriate assessments of different dimensions of feasibility into the integrated assessment modelling that underpins work on co-benefits. It then outlines five steps for applying that framework to evaluate the size of different barriers for transport, agricultural and residential energy co-benefit solutions in Thailand. The results demonstrate that the sum of the delays from social/institutional barriers exceed economic/technological barriers for four out of six studied solutions. These delays also lead to increases of 24% to 31% in PM_2.5 emissions relative to a no-barriers effective implementation scenario between 2015 and 2030 and 2040. The feasibility framework can be integrated into not only national policy scenarios but also project assessments, following trends in carbon finance.

The approach draws heavily on susceptibility modelling, in combination with screening processes to delineate exposed potential point sources, followed by field inspection to validate the information. Findings reveal that with the onset of climate change, over 55% of the manufacturing industries in the Selangor River Basin are exposed to the risk of Natech due to floods and coastal inundation. The approach can be applied to river basins where industrial activities are prevalent and local information on future climate conditions is limited.
