The fast advancement of the petrochemical and chemical industries has woken up rising worries concerning the pollution of water by contaminants including phenolic Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC). The intermediate BPA used in synthesis of certain plastics, polycarbonate polymers, polysulfone, and epoxy resins of various polyesters. Due to potential health risks, severe toxicity, and widespread distribution, there is an urgent need to develop efficient techniques for the removal of BPA. Therefore, advance management for the active elimination of BPA prior to its release into the water sources is of serious concern. Degradation, membrane separation, adsorption, and biological treatments have been extensively examined as they are easy to operate and cost-effective for effective BPA removal. In this review, we summarized the mechanism and performance for removal of BPA by several sorbents, including natural polymers, natural inorganic minerals, porous and carbon-based materials. Comparative results revealed that composite materials and modified adsorbents have good performances for removal of BPA. Furthermore, kinetic study investigating adsorption mechanisms was also discussed. Hazardous quantities of such types of chemicals in various samples have thus been the subject of increasing concern of investigation. This review clarified the extensive literature regarding the major health effects of BPA and its advanced treatment technologies including biological treatment by natural and synthetic materials have been discussed briefly. It delivers regulation for future development and research from the aspects of materials functionalization, development of methods, and mechanism investigation that directing to stimulate developments for removal of emerging contaminants.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142859665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

As a cellular osmoprotectant, proline (Pro) has the capacity to increase the salt tolerance of microbes in AS, hence improving the efficiency of phenolic wastewater degradation. Nevertheless, the precise mechanism behind this enhancement remains ambiguous. This study utilized short-time aerobic digestion (STAD) to examine the kinetics of phenol degradation (250–750 mg/L) by AS under high-salinity stress (2–8%), with the inclusion of Pro (115–575 mg/L) as an auxiliary agent. The process was optimized via response surface methodology (RSM), and the mitigating effect of Pro on microorganisms in AS subjected to salt stress was evaluated. The results demonstrated that the addition of 468 mg/L Pro substantially improved the ability of AS to withstand high-salinity wastewater with high phenol concentrations, which had a salinity of 5.1% and a phenol concentration of 531 mg/L. The addition led to a mitigation rate of the phenol degradation constant <i>k</i><sub>0</sub> of 38.59 ± 1.54%, resulting in enhanced degradation of chemical oxygen demand (COD), NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N, and NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>-N. In addition, the prolonged presence of Pro increased AS dehydrogenase activity (DHA) by 24.82% after 30 days. Microbial community analysis demonstrated that Pro promoted the proliferation of functional microorganisms such as Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, <i>Acinetobacter</i>, and <i>Comamonas</i>.

Oil palm is a globally important tropical commodity crop which contributes to both food and energy security due to its exceptional productivity. However, oil palm crops are associated with short lifecycles and high nutrient demands, which may disproportionately affect soil health. With the goal of exploring baseline soil properties in commercial oil palm plantations, we evaluated data from two large-scale soil surveys carried out in 2014/2015 and 2018/2019 across more than 400 fields located throughout Peninsular Malaysia. We examined variation in field-measured soil quality indicators with a focus on soil organic carbon content at three depths (0–15 cm, 15–30 cm, 30–45 cm) and investigated links with spatial covariates, including plantation age. We found SOC contents to be low (1.6–2%) across the sampled locations with limited correlation with spatial predictors employed in soil organic carbon modelling. Furthermore, we found that immature and young mature plantations, which consisted of fields that were re-planted as part of a 20-year-long oil palm rotation, were characterised by significantly lower soil organic carbon content than the mature plantations. This suggests that management practices should target younger oil palm plantations for soil organic conservation measures to increase the overall baseline SOC content, which will subsequently accumulate over the plantation’s lifespan. We further provide recommendations for future soil sampling efforts, which could increase the robustness of collected data and facilitate their use for soil monitoring through modelling approaches involving, for example, digital soil mapping.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10661-024-13540-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142859610","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}

Eleven distinct soil parameters, namely pH, electrical conductivity (EC), texture (ST), moisture content (MC), bulk density (BD), total porosity (TP), water holding capacity (WHC), organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN), available phosphorus (AP), and exchangeable potassium (EK), were evaluated seasonally (winter, pre-monsoon, and post-monsoon) for 2 years. The results showed that limestone mining has significantly affected the soil quality. The effect is evident by the substantial increases in EC values, sand content, and alkaline soils coupled with noticeably low concentrations of OC and TN. In addition, prominent changes were perceived in the soil MC and EK content, as well as in WHC, BD, and TP percent. Results from ANOVA revealed significant differences (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05) in mean values at different sampling seasons and sites. The multivariate statistical analysis results showed that the computed correlation coefficient (<i>r</i>) matrix data ranged from − 1.00 to 0.974. A strong positive correlation was highest between OC and TN (0.974), followed by OC with EK (0.828). Principal component (PC) analysis revealed two major components, PC 1 and PC 2, having eigenvalues of 6.276 and 1.747, respectively. Cumulatively, these two components explained 80.23% of the total variance. The loading factor in PC 1 is high and is attributed to OC (.974), TN (.970), and EK (.903). However, in PC 2, the loading factor is positively pooled by MC (0.894) and TP (0.765). The present study concludes that artisanal and small-scale limestone mining altered the soil’s physical and chemical properties, and these changes are likely to have a subsequent deteriorating impact on the area’s biodiversity, landscape, and natural ecosystem. Therefore, to minimize the impact and ensure sustainable soil management in the area, approaches for effective mitigation and remediation measures, including formulating steps for the conservation and enhancement of the soil’s environmental quality, are recommended.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142859666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

This index aims to provide valuable insight into the degradation of urban stream landscapes with a minimal amount of independent variables and training samples. The key enhancements of the DI include its clear computation of degradation value, ease of replication, and overall objectivity. The results indicate that the most substantial change has been observed on impermeable surfaces between 2000 and 2020, resulting in a 5.18% increase in impervious surfaces. Furthermore, there has been a decrease by 4.67% in agricultural lands, highlighting a pronounced shift towards impervious surfaces.

Additionally, the area classified as high degradation expanded from 135.91 to 375.42 hectares between 2000 and 2020. Notably, there was no land classified as very high degradation in 2000, whereas in 2020, it reached 38.15 hectares. The DI has been proven to provide better representational information on how human activity affects ecosystems compared to both the Human Influence Index and the Human Footprint Index which has been used for this purpose.

Therefore, it is crucial to conduct spatial mapping of rice distribution, assess dry biomass, and determine emissions from rice straw burning within Hanoi city. The efficacy of the deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) model has been evident in accurately mapping the spatial distribution of rice in Hanoi, where rice cultivation extensively thrives in suburban areas. In the tropical climate of Vietnam, data derived from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) could serve as a valuable resource for mapping rice fields. Additionally, the amalgamated model, Ant Colony Optimization-eXtreme Gradient Boosting (ACO-XGBoost), could serve as a potent instrument in gauging the aboveground biomass (AGB) of rice within this urban center. The current research reveals the spatial distribution of rice biomass in Hanoi city. Among the six levels of the rice biomass distribution map, the majority of regions in Hanoi city were dominated by the fifth tier, ranging between 3.0 and 4.0 kg/m<sup>2</sup>. This emerges as a pivotal source of emissions impacting the atmospheric quality of the city. It should be emphasized that the incidence of rice straw burning remains substantial, exceeding 80% in the monitored districts of Hanoi city, notably higher in proximity to the city center.
