Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCMs), an essential aspect of China's cultural heritage, is closely linked to Se. Although research on Se's role in TCMs has been growing, a comprehensive review has yet to be done. This study critically reviews Se distribution in China's soil and its impact on TCMs and health outcomes. Data from over 216,771 soil samples collected across 30 provinces reveal that Se levels range from 0.27 to 27.81 mg/kg, with an average of 0.65 mg/kg, showing significant regional variation. The lowest Se levels are found primarily in Tibet, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Inner Mongolia, where Se deficiency-related diseases, such as Keshan and Kashin-Beck, are prevalent. On the other hand, some regions exhibit excessively high Se concentrations, posing risks of Se toxicity and selenosis. Notably, areas like Enshi in Hubei (17.20 mg/kg), Ziyang in Shaanxi (9.66 mg/kg), Ningguo in Anhui (3.71 mg/kg), and several locations in Guizhou (2.91 mg/kg) have high soil Se levels. This review also explores the effects of Se-containing TCMs on human and animal health, as these remedies have been used for centuries in China. It further examines how environmental factors influence Se levels in TCMs and their composition. Additionally, the study addresses the challenges and prospects of Se-containing TCMs. This review aims to enhance the understanding of Se-related health issues in China, including endemic diseases and toxicity, and to improve their management.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture><span>The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI.</span></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"237 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147738312","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 main research methods are IR spectroscopy, laboratory analyses using modern equipment, and the Fisson E. A 1.04 Carbograph autoanalyzer. The scientific novelty of this research lies in a comprehensive approach to the reclamation of oil-contaminated soils using composite compositions containing biologically active water-soluble polymers and hydrogels, Kazuglegumus biofertilizer, and multicomponent aluminum alloys in the biochar composition. Hydrogel significantly accelerates oil biodegradation by increasing the availability of moisture and oxygen for oil-degrading microorganisms. The plant-based sorbent biochar, thanks to its high specific surface area, effectively binds petroleum products, improves aeration, water retention capacity, and nutritional composition, increasing soil fertility. Organo-mineral fertilizer (potassium humate) activates soil microflora, stimulates the development of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria, and accelerates the microbial degradation of petroleum products. The research was conducted on soils in the village of Kainar, Almaty region, which do not contain oil, and on soils in the evaporation pond of AOR LLP, which contain oil in concentrations ranging from 0.05% to 5.31%. Studies to determine the effectiveness of restoring oil-contaminated soil samples from the evaporation pond were carried out in laboratory and field conditions. Analysis of oil-contaminated soil samples taken from the bottom and shoreline of the evaporation pond was carried out before and after treating the soil with composite compounds. It was established that the new composite compositions are an effective solution for detoxifying oil-contaminated soil, as well as restoring and increasing its fertility. The oil content in the soil before treatment ranged from 5.01 to 20%, and after treatment reached 0.2 to 2.41%. It was found that hydrogel in combination with biochar activates the germination of seeds of perennial leguminous plants, as well as the growth and development of their above-ground and root systems. The effectiveness of soil reclamation is explained by the reduction of oil concentration to acceptable limits, as well as the transformation of natural humic substances and the additional potassium humate added to the composition with biochar, which increases the biological activity of soils and the resistance of biological objects to nonspecific stress factors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"237 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11270-026-09415-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147737893","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}

Spatially, downstream sites (L2–L3 and V2–V3) exhibited higher nutrient and ionic concentrations compared to upstream reference sites, reflecting cumulative catchment influences such as agriculture and localized settlements. Multivariate analyses (PCA, cluster analysis, and LDA) identified three hydrochemical regimes corresponding to upstream, midstream, and downstream conditions.

Given that ocean acidification is a current process that can be further aggravated through many processes, including an increase in anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, one of the aims of this study was to evaluate the behaviour of Cu (II) in the presence of photodegraded microplastics (polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in two different reduced pH scenarios according to the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway predicted for 2100 by IPCC. The other aim was to verify chemical changes in the carbonate system and Cu (II) speciation in both reduced pH scenarios predicted for 2100 by IPCC, focusing on inorganic complexation. At the moderate acidification (pH 7.88) treatment, the concentration of dissolved Cu (II) decreased after a 48-h exposition to PET microplastics compared to the initial concentration, primarily due to inorganic complexation and adsorption onto natural particles rather than adsorption onto microplastics, which exhibited a limited capacity to adsorb Cu<sup>2+</sup> under the experimental conditions. Conversely, in the intense acidification treatment (pH 7.59), the concentration of dissolved Cu (II) increased, likely due to the release of previously complexed Cu (II) and the reduced adsorption capacity of the microplastics, as Cu<sup>2+</sup> competes with the increased H<sup>+</sup> concentrations for the sorption sites on the surfaces of microplastics. These results indicate that under a more intense acidification scenario, the capacity of microplastics to act as vectors of Cu (II) could be insufficient, potentially increasing the concentration of free ionic-Cu and increasing its availability and consequent toxicity to marine biota.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"237 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11270-026-09440-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147737794","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}

Though it has been established that sources are based on land for most of the aquatic MP contamination, evidence of MPs in the terrestrial system cannot be disregarded.
