Turbidity is an important water quality property directly influenced by the Fundão dam tailing rupture, which spilled tons of ore tailing in rivers of the Doce River Basin, Southeastern Brazil. We tested different machine learning algorithms coupled with 10 m resolution Sentinel-2 images, to model and spatially predict the water turbidity of the Doce basin rivers affected by the Fundão dam rupture. Results indicate that the cubist model presented the best performance. Both single bands and spectral indices presented great importance for modelling water turbidity. In particular, the Fe3 index (simple ratio between red and blue bands) was the most important covariate, highlighting the spectral response of the suspended sediments rich in Fe oxides. The red and near-infrared bands were the most relevant single bands for modelling turbidity, since the great spectral contrast between clean and turbid water in these bands. The water turbidity was considerably higher in the rainy season and for the upstream Doce basin where the Gualaxo do Norte and Carmo rivers are located. This is associated with the great deposition of the Fundão dam tailings inside and outside these rivers, besides the hydraulic and geomorphological characteristics of the Gualaxo do Norte and Carmo sub-basins.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143676446","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}

The study has significant viewpoints on food safety and pesticide management. The pesticide residual analysis was carried out on two commonly used vegetables, tomato and brinjal. The QuEChERS method is used to extract pesticides and GC–MS/SIM analyses were used to quantify pesticide residues. Among the various samples tested, organophosphorus pesticides, such as Phorate Sulfoxide, Chlorpyrifos, and Malathion, were detected in some samples. In the majority of brinjal samples analyzed, no pesticide residues were detected. However, one sample showed the presence of malathion (0.001 mg/kg). The detected level of malathion was within the acceptable safety limits, indicating that the sample is safe for consumption. Nevertheless, in one of the tomato samples tested, the residual level of phorate sulfoxide (0.34 mg/kg) is found to be higher than the MRL with a health risk index of 2.79. Except for phorate sulfoxide, all the other pesticide residuals were within MRL. Phorate residues with a soil half-life of 2 to 173 days are readily water soluble and may leach easily into groundwater, adversely affecting human health. The dietary risk of phorate can also put people at increased health risks of reproductive harm, endocrine system disruption, neurological damage, and an increased risk of certain cancers. The study’s outcome suggests the need to review the strict guidelines imposed on using unsafe pesticides. Also, future investigations are necessary to validate the presence of other toxic pesticides in the study area.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143668193","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}

In untreated water, particle size analysis revealed that 50% of MPs were measured under 101 µm, with fibers being the most common type (47%), followed by fragments and pellets. Although treatment processes reduced overall MP concentrations, fibers remained the dominant residual type, making up 71% of the MPs in treated water. The main polymers identified were polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), with PE accounting for up to 75% of MPs in some areas. In terms of color, black/gray MPs were most prevalent (45%), followed by blue, red/pink, yellow/orange, and white/clear particles. While most treatment plants achieved significant reductions in MP levels, some were less effective, likely due to differences in treatment technologies. Notably, the S10 plant in Bandar Mahshahr had especially high inlet MP levels, possibly due to the region’s high industrial and human activities. Estimated daily intake (EDI) for adults was approximately 0.00482 MPs per kg of body weight per day, with children having a higher intake of around 0.01866 MPs per kg per day.

A viable solution for expanding access to wastewater treatment services in these areas is the use of decentralized systems. However, an obstacle to the use of these systems is the lack of monitoring and operational management programs. The aim of this study was to evaluate compact wastewater treatment equipment (CWTE) using the grayscale proposed by von Sperling et al. (Water Science &amp; Technology, 82(7):380–1392, 2020) and to develop prediction models for biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, and suspended solids using the grayscale and other parameters that are easy to obtain, such as color, turbidity, and electrical conductivity. Five CWTEs were monitored for 270 days, with students acting as “citizen scientists” using the grayscale essay. Of the 705 samples monitored, 157 (22%) were classified as level 1 or 2 on the grayscale, 410 (58%) as level 3, 136 (19%) as levels 4 and 5, and only two samples as level 6. Regarding the use of the grayscale, it was observed that in this case, there was a small overestimation of the real values obtained in the laboratory analyses. With the use of the grayscale, the most expensive analyses would only be accessed if the level stabilized at values equal to or greater than 3. The predictive models developed based on the grayscale and simple parameters such as color, turbidity, and electrical conductivity demonstrated good accuracy (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup> &gt; 0.8), offering a practical and efficient approach for estimating effluent quality indicators while reducing the need for complex laboratory analyses.

During the concentrated discharge periods of fireworks (FCDP) in 2024, the proportions of NO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup> and NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> in PM<sub>2.5</sub> decreased by 21.5% and 10.7%, respectively, while those of tracer components of fireworks, such as K<sup>+</sup>, Cl<sup>−</sup>, SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup>, and Mg<sup>2+</sup>, increased by 17.2%, 7.7%, 5.9%, and 1.7%, respectively, showing the impact of fireworks. PMF source apportionment revealed that fireworks accounted for 59% of PM₂.₅ during the FCDP, rather than secondary sources (35%) and motor vehicles (21%) during the benchmark period (BP). The suggestions to the government were proposed, including strengthening policy implementation, optimizing discharge controls, and promoting public awareness of eco-friendly celebrations to reduce reliance on traditional fireworks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":544,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Monitoring and Assessment","volume":"197 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143668381","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}
