Hard grey infrastructure has been used to prevent coastal flooding and erosion, replacing natural coastal habitats. Hence, concerns regarding sustainability and resilience favoured a transition towards Nature-Based Solutions (NBS). Despite the various examples of NBS for coastal flood mitigation existing worldwide, technical, political, and socio-economic challenges still hinder their applicability. We argue that most NBS, spatially restrictive and focusing on single species and habitats, overlook the complex nature of coastal lagoons, impairing the effectiveness of actions. We claim that identifying coastal lagoons as ecologically significant areas in conservation plans and enforcing low human intervention NBS (e.g., protected areas) must be the first step to preserving their coastal protection capacity and ensuring the conditions needed for the successful implementation of local and more specific actions (e.g., habitat restoration).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52296,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Science and Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49816798","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}

Anthropogenic changes profoundly affect the distribution, abundance, and dispersal of human pathogens in the environment. However, until now, the effects of human activity and global climate change on the dispersal of human pathogens in soil ecosystems have not been systematically analyzed. Abundant and diverse human pathogens have been identified in soil ecosystems. Two emerging hotspots of human pathogens in soil ecosystems are the gut of invasive animals and the plastisphere. Anthropogenic activities are increasing the abundance of human pathogens in soil, and global climate changes will affect the distribution and dispersal of these pathogens. Our current understanding is that it is important to quantify and predict the effects of anthropogenic changes on human pathogens dispersal for the protection of human health in the soil ecosystem, and environmental DNA-based technologies for human pathogens surveillance has shown great promise. More research is needed to explore the global distribution of human pathogens in soil ecosystems and their health risks in the Anthropocene.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52296,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Science and Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49773371","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}

Therefore, this review takes a look at recent studies on the sources and health risks of the most common indoor pollutants. Reviewing various 2D materials is done in addition to looking at extremely crucial factors namely sensor response, recovery time, stability, and sensitivity. Due to their exceptional qualities, 2D nanomaterials such as graphene, transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), metal oxides, and MXenes are reviewed here. However, the durability and controllability of indoor environmental pollutants sensing devices based on 2D materials continue to be a barrier due to their simple structural design. Therefore, this review summarizes the improvement of 2D sensing materials by adding dopant and surface functionalization in a futuristic perspective.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52296,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Science and Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49773374","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}

Therefore, water remediation will unavoidably take center stage on a worldwide platform. The development of microalgae can be supported by several types of wastewater (WW). They might be able to clean up pollutants from industry and urban effluents. Due to its low energy requirements, microalgae's capacity to survive in various environmental circumstances, and the potential to convert WW nutrients into high-value chemicals, microalgae-based wastewater treatment (WWT) has already received attention. Recent studies have reported using microalgae to remove pharmaceutical compounds and pesticides from wastewater produced by industrial and agricultural processes and removing nutrients from wastewater from WWTs. As a result, utilizing microalgae for both wastewater treatment and biofuel production could be a cost-effective solution to these challenges.

This paper provides an overview of natural and constructed wetlands and their potential to support the regulation of hydrological fluxes and water quality. Wetlands can modulate peak flows by storing runoff and slowly releasing it over time, with positive impacts on soil moisture. They can also change the overall water balance by influencing evapotranspiration, infiltration, and groundwater recharge. They can enhance resilience of a catchment to floods and torrents, especially with relative low return periods (<50 years), and safeguard water availability during droughts. Wetlands may remove or reduce a number of organic and inorganic pollutants (e.g., nutrients, heavy metals, hydrocarbons, pesticides) by different physical, chemical, and biological processes developed between vegetation, microorganisms, soil/growth substrate, and water. They have proven to be efficient and effective in improving the quality of water from different sources, such as runoff from agriculture and urban areas, and domestic and industrial wastewater. The overall performance of wetlands is determined by their characteristics (e.g., size, design, type of vegetation), within-catchment position, type and amount of water and pollutants, and local conditions (e.g., climate). A focus on wetlandscape, rather than individual wetlands, is required for optimal water management and maximization of other ecosystem services.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52296,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Science and Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49773378","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}
