The effects of soil temperature T ( T 15 , T 25 , T 35 ) and moisture W ( W 60 , W 80 , W 100 ) on the degradability of membrane materials were investigated by a comprehensive experimental design, and a hydrothermal coupling model K ( T , W ) was established. The effects of degradation on the chemical structure, functional groups, and morphology of membrane materials were revealed by infrared spectroscopy and SEM electron microscopy. The results showed that the degradation degree of membrane material was an exponentially positive response to the increase in soil temperature and moisture. The degradation rate of membrane materials under different treatments was 13.7%-17.3%, and the maximum degradation rate was 17.3% under the T 35 W 100 condition. The determination coefficient R 2 of the constructed K ( T , W ) model reached 0.927, and the average relative error of the predicted degradation rate was 1.58%, indicating good accuracy of the model. The infrared spectrum showed that the -OH stretching vibration absorption peak of the degraded membrane becomes wider and the peak intensity increases; the absorption peak intensity of C-H, -CH 2 , and Si-O weakens; and the peak of the C=C absorption peak appears as a continuous staircase after degradation. The SEM electron microscopy showed there were differences in the pores and cracks of the membrane materials under different treatments, and the degradation was the most obvious under the T 35 W 100 condition.","PeriodicalId":510399,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"56 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140662509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The typical pollutants in the emulsion were triethanolamine, sodium benzoate, sodium nitrite, and sodium hyponitrotriacetate. Furthermore, migration and transformation studies were conducted with respect to these typical pollutants in the emulsion. When the mine water was passed through the aeration zone of a water accumulation leaching device, the pollutant concentrations considerably decreased, resulting in significant adsorption and migration effects. Subsequently, the adsorption effect was significantly reduced. The adsorption rate of sodium benzoate and sodium hyponitrotriacetate increased with an increase in the emulsion concentration on the 30th day. The adsorption rate of sodium nitrite in 1 L mine water with 20 mL emulsion on the 30 th day was 86.4%. The noncarcinogenic health risk assessment and exposure index (EI) model calculations of the simulated mine water containing emulsion revealed that all the hazard quotient (HQ) and EI values of carcinogens were >1. Furthermore, reference pollutant concentrations under the specific conditions of HQ and EI were obtained. These study findings are expected to provide scientific data support for local governments to strengthen geological environment management in mining areas.","PeriodicalId":510399,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"29 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140661324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To combat salinization, halophytes such as date palms are grown in these areas. However, less information is available on the morphological and biochemical responses of different date palm cultivars under high salinity. In this regard, eight cultivars of date palm were selected and treated with different salinity levels to check the adaptive capabilities of these cultivars against salt stress in terms of morphological and biochemical attributes. The objective of the current study was to screen these cultivars for tolerance or susceptibility to salt stress (0, 50, 100, and 200 mM NaCl). The results of the morphological parameters revealed the negative impact of salt stress on the morphology. Higher concentrations of salt reduced the plant height (Haleemi, Dahakki, Sanduri, Saghoi, Tarwali, and Hamanwali), the number of leaves (Haleemi, Basrawali, Dhakki, Sanduri, Saghoi, and Gajjar),","PeriodicalId":510399,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"41 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140677579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It suffers the most serious atmospheric pollution during the winter heating period. This study aims to explore the level and spatial distribution of atmospheric element deposition in the study area and validate the suitability of Ramalina sinensis ( RSI ) as an active biomonitor in North China cities. RSI was transplanted to Tangshan in winter (Dec. 2016-Mar. 2017) and exposed for 17 weeks. The concentration of 51 elements was tested using an ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer). The results showed that the exposure concentration of all elements but Ag was significantly higher than the background value. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that K, P, and Rb were separated into the group G5, and these nutrients have a lower level of bioaccumulation than other groups. The remaining 47 elements were classified into groups G1 (Al, Be, Co, Cr, Cs, Ge, Li, Nb, Ni, Si, Th, Ti, U, V, and 16 rare earth elements La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Y, and Sc) of crustal origin, G2 (Ca, Cd, Cu, Mg, Mn, Mo, S, Sb, Sr, and Zn) and G3 (Bi, Pb, and Sn) of atmospheric origin, and G4 (As, Fe, Se, and Tl) of crustal-atmospheric origin. The overall bioaccumulation in Tangshan is moderate (PLI zone = 2.010 for the combined groups G1-4), with the highest bioaccumulation level (high to severe) for the atmospheric group G2. The most concerned elements are Ca and S, which are of high bioaccumulation at the regional scale. All element groups show a similar spatial pattern characterized by decreasing atmospheric deposition from east to west and from rural to urban areas. These results indicate that RSI is a good active biomonitor for most elements, barring some nutrients. The importance of G2 elements should be emphasized as an indicator of anthropogenic emissions in lichen-active biomonitoring techniques in North China cities. The study area experienced a certain degree of atmospheric pollution, contributed mainly by the frequent industrial and agricultural activities and coal combustion for heating in the east of the city and the rural areas around. This study is the first to monitor atmospheric deposition in industrial cities in North China using the active lichen biomonitoring method.","PeriodicalId":510399,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"14 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140673872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data from the field measurements present methane flux rates ranging from 0.01 to 10.42 mg m−2 day−1, are substantially lower than the default estimations recommended by IPCC guidelines. The study highlights discrepancies between actual field measurements and suggested default values, emphasizing the necessity for site-specific monitoring to avoid overestimating greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in mangrove areas. The analysis reveals strong correlations between methane flux and environmental parameters. Factors such as water pH, turbidity, temperature, and nitrogen content significantly influence methane emissions.

The study reveals that the “Broadband China” pilot policy significantly influences the level of environmental pollution control when compared to non-demonstration cities. This conclusion still holds after a series of robustness tests. The mechanism analysis demonstrates that the “Broadband China” pilot policy affects the level of environmental pollution control by enhancing regional innovation capacity and upgrading the industrial structure. Moreover, heterogeneity analysis indicates that the influence of the “Broadband China” pilot policy on environmental pollution control varies depending on location choice, city size, and degree of urbanization. Notably, the impact of constructing demonstration cities is particularly pronounced in the eastern region, larger cities, and areas with higher urbanization rates.

The findings reveal that commercial bank expansion significantly reduces firms’ pollution emissions and that there is an optimal geographical radius for this suppression effect. The number of commercial bank branches within 20 km of the firm has the biggest inhibiting influence on the firm’s pollution emission, which diminishes as geographical distance increases. This dampening effect remains robust after testing using the instrumental variable method and the Difference-In-Differences method. Examination of heterogeneity demonstrates that the influence of commercial bank expansion on firm pollution emission depends on the degree of regional low-carbon policies and laws, the level of pollution in the industry, and capital intensity of the industry, as well as the firm’s size and ownership. The mechanism test proves that commercial bank expansion reduces firm pollution emissions by promoting technological progress and increasing their investment in pollution reduction.","PeriodicalId":510399,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":" 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140682743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
