Within this landscape, multiple criteria decision aiding (MCDA) emerges as a pivotal tool, intricately intertwined with policy and decision-making processes to navigate uncertainties. This paper rigorously investigates application of MCDA in environmental decision-making processes and policy-making, shedding light on challenges and limitations in its practical implementation. While acknowledging MCDA's potential to address complex issues, the study critically examines its real-world utility in environmental policy-making. Drawing insights from 80 review papers and 9 related papers, the research underscores MCDA's evolving adaptability in managing diverse objectives and assessment criteria. It emphasises MCDA's value for policy makers by facilitating the implementation of effective policies, offering clarity for future policy directions, and assessing trade-offs among multiple goals. Despite these merits, the study identifies key challenges, including method selection influenced by expertise. Inherent uncertainties, varying stakeholder participation levels, and the delicate balance between expert-driven and collaborative approaches also present significant hurdles. Addressing subjectivity in evaluations, providing clear options in complex scenarios, and applying MCDA to dynamic problems are also identified as challenges. Additional obstacles include formulating criteria, integrating uncertainty, managing long-term perspectives, and ensuring practical and enduring benefits in policy decision-making. The paper highlights the lack of methodological guidance for the application of MCDA in environmental policy-making, emphasises the shortcomings of stakeholder engagement, and acknowledges data limitations as additional barriers. Consequently, given the uncertainties surrounding environmental issues, the study underscores the need for adjustments to effectively employ MCDA in such complex situations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":589,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"22 8","pages":"6967 - 6982"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143612271","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 study investigated the effects and associated mechanisms of magnetite (Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) activation on lead (Pb, II) removal from aqueous solutions by biochars pyrolyzed from sawdust, wheat straw, canola straw, and manure pellet at 300, 500, and 700 °C. Depending on feedstock type, increasing pyrolysis temperature enhanced Pb(II) adsorption in pristine biochars. However, Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> activation reduced Pb(II) adsorption by up to 86%, likely due to decreased ash content, pH, and exchangeable cations. Cation exchange and the relative proportion of Ca<sup>2+</sup>/Mg<sup>2+</sup> to K<sup>+</sup>/Na<sup>+</sup> dominated the adsorption process via co-precipitation and outer/inner-sphere complexation. This process, depending on the feedstock type, occurred on either heterogeneous or homogenous surfaces of the biochars, with the data fitting better to the Freundlich or Langmuir model.

However, under xenon lamp irradiation, which includes the visible light region, an increase in the reaction rate constant of nFe-TiO<sub>2</sub> is observed.

Many mechanisms favor pesticide dissipation in the biobeds. Pesticide losses to the atmosphere from biobeds have not been studied. Dissipation of pesticides frequently used in the Yucatan Mexico crops (2,4-D, atrazine, carbofuran, diazinon, and glyphosate) at 41 days period was evaluated in soil and a composite boimixture (soil, sisal, corn stover, compost, and seaweed).

The highest values for volatile, run-off, and remaining fraction after 72 h were observed for diazinon (~ 43% in soil), 2,4-D (~ 70% in corn stover), and glyphosate (~ 73% in soil), respectively. This behavior shows a relationship with substrate type, exposure time, and pesticide type; these factors were statistically significant (<i>P</i> &lt; 0.05) on the pesticide concentrations in the studied fractions. The pH and lignin content were the factors that affected pesticide behavior in the substrates. Substrates presenting high remaining and low volatile pesticide fractions are promising for improving biobed performance in agricultural effluent treatment.
