AI technologies enhance environmental monitoring by enabling better understanding, prediction, and mitigation of environmental risks. However, realizing the full potential of AI faces hurdles such as a shortage of specialized AI experts in the environmental sector and challenges related to data access, control, and privacy. These issues are more pronounced in regions with developing technological infrastructure. The paper advocates for proactive data governance measures by governments to protect sensitive information.

Meanwhile, BKMR models showed the relations of mPAEs mixture with increased CysC and Beta-2-microglobulin (β2MG), and reduced eGFR_CysC were dominated by MBP. Moreover, thyroid hormones were linked to early kidney damage, and free thyroxin (FT4) modified the associations of MBP and β2MG, which was more obvious in children with low level of FT4. Interactions of age group and gender with MBP were significant, the effect of MBP on early kidney damage was stronger in primary school children and boys.

Apart from health concerns, the pandemic has also resulted in certain long-lasting social, economic, and environmental issues. The article, for the first time, executes a multidisciplinary assessment of the effects of COVID-19 on the environment, highlighting future research approaches and the possible ways to achieve sustainability in the post-COVID era. Both positive and negative impacts of COVID-19 pandemic are discussed in this context. While there are certain positive impacts of COVID-19 on the environment (including reduced air, water and noise pollution with cleaner landscapes), the negative impacts (increased production and consumption of plastics, increase in waste generation because of online consumption, decrease in waste recycling, energy consumption in vaccine manufacturing) pose considerable threats to the environment. We highlight urgent research priorities, and also discuss potential means of tackling any such pandemic in the future without hampering sustainable lifestyle or jeopardizing the environment and ecosystem dynamics.

To address these gaps, we conducted a prospective follow-up study in Tibet from May 2021 to November 2021. In consideration of the potential synergistic effects of chronic hypobaric hypoxia, two Tibetan cities with different altitudes, Lhasa (3650 m) and Nyingchi (3000 m), were chosen to implement atmospheric monitoring and health measurement. We employed cutting-edge, high-precision instruments at stationary monitoring sites to measure ambient air pollution and collected particle samples. Portable devices were used to monitor personal exposure levels of ozone and black carbon. A total of 212 healthy Tibetan college students participated in up to four clinical visits, yielding 774 visits in total, during which functional endpoints were measured and biological samples were collected. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the cardiorespiratory effects of ambient ozone under hypoxic conditions, where its impact may be amplified due to the region's unique environmental characteristics. The secondary aim is to provide a comprehensive assessment of other air pollutants, including their exposure levels, sources, and health effects. By addressing these aims, the study offers valuable insights into air quality and its health implications in this unique high-altitude setting.

Herein, Cu/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles (BNPs) were prepared and the use of these particles was investigated for the removal of BDE-209 from soil. Optimal conditions, including 9.1 wt% Cu loading and acidic environments, were identified to enhance the removal efficiency.

The contributions of adsorption and degradation were investigated by isolating the BNPs after the experiments conducted herein. Initially, adsorption played an important role, accounting for 25 %–38 % of the total removal, but this decreased to 14 % to 20 % as the reaction progressed, reaching at the equilibrium adsorption capacity after ∼3 h.
