Some of them reported an abatement of the drug of only 20-40%, whereas others based on advanced oxidation processes or photocatalytic methods mediated by TiO₂ often highlighted high energy cost requirements and the formation of byproducts whose toxicity was higher than that of diclofenac. This study concerns both the photolytic and the photocatalytic degradation of diclofenac in aqueous media to evaluate its partial or total elimination and the formation of the transformation products, whose toxicity has been investigated. For this purpose, an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a high-resolution quadrupole time-of-flight-mass spectrometry method was used to elucidate the transformation products following a non-targeted approach based on mass data-independent acquisition. Twelve different transformation products were identified, two of them (TP1 and TP4) for the first time, and accordingly elucidated. Based on the accurate tandem mass spectrometry information acquired, a photodegradation mechanism was proposed. A toxicity assessment of the photoproducts was performed by in silico method. Although UV-vis photolysis degradation alone can abate the diclofenac after 120 min of irradiation, the formed transformation products persist at the end of the degradation, and they are mainly carbazole derivatives with comparable toxicity and similar persistence in the environment to that of diclofenac. On the contrary, the use of quaternary chalcogenide nanoparticles (Cu₂ZnSnS₄) is a successfully promising process for the drug photodegradation, resulting in the elimination of diclofenac and the formation of less toxic products than diclofenac at the end of degradation.</p>","PeriodicalId":545,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143955480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

Photocatalytic CO₂ conversion utilizes sunlight to transform CO₂ into valuable products. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with tunable chemistries and morphologies offer promising energy-efficient pathways for CO₂ conversion to CO, CH₄, and CH₃OH. A new class of materials-quantum dot (QD)-modified MOFs-emerges as a powerful option for photocatalysis. These materials are easy to synthesize, exhibit excellent optoelectronic properties, and demonstrate high activity in CO₂ photoreduction. This review explores the synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic performance of QD-modified MOFs for CO₂ conversion into fuels and chemicals. Key synthesis strategies, including encapsulation, partial embedding, and surface functionalization of QDs within MOFs, are also discussed. The underlying charge transfer mechanisms and CO₂ reduction pathways are analyzed. Additionally, challenges such as stability, scalability, and product selectivity are addressed, with insights into future research directions to optimize these materials for sustainable energy applications.

To reduce harmful emissions and improve the fuel combustion characteristics, specialized additives are introduced into fuel oil. They lower the cost of heat production. Fuel additives offer several benefits, like improved operational characteristics of the boiler and lower fuel consumption. The conducted research revealed that the additive based on a particular combination of positively and negatively charged ions cuts down the ignition delay times of fuel droplets by 10-20% and anthropogenic emissions by 10-15%, and at the same time increase the reaction area of combustion by 20%. The findings indicate that specialized additives to fuel oil/water emulsions improve the characteristics of secondary atomization of droplets in the collisions with a solid surface, which leads to more efficient micro-explosive fragmentation.

Egypt is now categorized as a water-scarce country facing an exacerbated water deficit. Thus, it has recently adopted a strategy for recycling agricultural drainage water (ADW) to fulfil the irrigation water requirements. This study aims to appraise the feasibility of reusing ADW in the Nile Delta. Accordingly, water samples were gathered from six irrigation streams in a district where mixing stations are intensively installed. The hydro-chemical analysis of 23 water quality parameters sufficiently aligned with the local tolerance limits for the ADW indirect reuse. Nine indicators, including ratios of adsorption, soluble and exchangeable sodium, permeability index (PI), Kelly's ratio (KR), and magnesium hazard (MH), along with the irrigation water quality index (IWQI), were estimated to measure the water suitability for cultivation purposes. The ADW was unfavorable for irrigation due to excess salts, sodium, and chloride, which can cause soil salinization and yield reduction. The blending approach of the ADW with canal waters was critical to retrieving highly suitable irrigation water, saving a significant proportion of the water requirements, and increasing irrigation efficiency. The potential to reclaim and reuse the ADW through membrane-based desalination was promising. However, reverse osmosis (RO) membranes were superior in recovering more suitable water than nanofiltration (NF) membranes. The findings offer insights to water managers on feasible solutions to meet increasing water demand. Conjunctive adoption of recycled water with groundwater for ongoing reclamation projects in Egypt is advocated.</p>","PeriodicalId":545,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143959022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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 is especially concerning as the consumption of harvested marine species can pose potential health concerns. The arrival of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, to the Balearic Islands has led to the need to evaluate its environmental implications and potential as a food source as part of management efforts. In the present study, the concentrations of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg) in the muscle tissue of C. sapidus were evaluated at several locations in the Balearic Islands in the western Mediterranean Sea. A total of eighty-three blue crabs were examined (45 males and 38 females) and the concentrations of the heavy metals were evaluated. Regarding metal concentrations, overall, Hg was the most present followed by Cd and then Pb. Concentrations were also site dependent, with Es Grau having the highest Hg concentrations while in s'Albufereta the highest Cd concentrations were observed. Moreover, differences in metal accumulation were also observed between sexes, with juveniles and females exhibiting higher Cd concentrations than males. Furthermore, regarding potential human health concerns for consumption, the margin of exposure (MOE) for Pb were all above 1 and the estimated weekly ingestion (EWI) for Cd and Hg, were all below the established guidelines for food safety. These results highlight that the consumption of C. sapidus from the Balearic Islands does not currently pose a health risk the recreational fisheries sector.

Microplastics (MPs), synthetic polymers smaller than five mm, pose an emerging threat to AMF by altering soil structure and chemistry, potentially disrupting these essential functions. This study examined how ten different microplastic types and shapes influenced AMF communities within the context of Grime’s C-S-R (competitor-stress tolerator-ruderal) framework. We tested the effects of polypropylene, polyester, high-density polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, low-density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene on three distinct soils (Albic Luvisol, Haplic Chernozem, and Haplic Luvisol), examining MPs in forms of fibers, films, fragments, and mixtures, in a total of 15 treatments. Although general diversity indices based on the OTU level showed no significant changes, shifts occurred at the genus level. The soils were predominantly colonized by <i>Funneliformis</i> and an unidentified genus in <i>Glomeraceae (incertae sedis)</i>; however, the addition of MPs increased the relative abundance of <i>Diversispora</i> and <i>Claroideoglomus</i>, while also subtly promoting <i>Rhizophagus</i> and <i>Septoglomus</i>. In particular, <i>Claroideoglomus</i> showed a notable increase in relative abundance in the most diverse Haplic Chernozem soil when exposed to fragment-shaped MPs and mixed MP types. According to Grime’s C-S-R framework, these genera are classified as ruderals, except for <i>Diversispora</i>, a stress tolerator. Ruderals are known to thrive following disturbances, such as physical disruption of soil structure, a known effect of MPs, while MPs can also create stress conditions within the soil selecting stress tolerators. Our findings highlight the complex and soil-specific interactions between MPs and AMF, demonstrating that the effects of MPs on AMF are driven by the combined influence of soil types and MP properties.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":545,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":"32 20","pages":"12504 - 12512"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11356-025-36408-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143958672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}
