Effective decontamination of RLs remains a challenge. This study introduces pumice as a novel, sustainable, and economical adsorbent for radionuclides removal. The characteristics of pure pumice were verified through X-ray diffraction, a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Batch experiments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of pumice in removing radionuclides from RLs. The gross alpha, beta, and gamma technique was used to concurrently radiologically characterize the RLs before and after decontamination. The operating conditions for the process included a 5-min stirring time, stirring speed at 100 rpm, mass of pumice 3 g/L, and a pH of 5. Initial gross beta and gamma activities were 29,766 and 4623 Bq/L, respectively, while the experiments were conducted at room temperature. The batch experiments demonstrated that pumice effectively removed 65.77% of gross beta and 61.73% of gross gamma radioactivity. The Freundlich isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model accurately represented the adsorption process, suggesting a heterogeneity of surfaces and a chemical reaction between radionuclides and active pumice sites.

This study integrated multiple analytical approaches, including Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA), Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA), and Generalized Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs), to investigate the spatial and temporal variability of phytoplankton communities across six sites over an eight-year monitoring period (2015–2023). Phytoplankton diversity, assessed using Shannon–Wiener and Margalef indices, revealed distinct patterns driven by environmental gradients, with diversity indices ranging from 0.06 (DS2, May) to 2.21 (CS, July). HCA grouped sites into distinct clusters based on nutrient dynamics and salinity, indicating the influence of site-specific conditions. CCA identified ammonia (NH₄-N), nitrate (NO₃-N), temperature, and salinity as the most significant environmental drivers affecting genera-level distributions. GAMM analyses further quantified nonlinear interactions between phytoplankton abundance and key parameters, such as total dissolved solids (TDS), total phosphorus (TP), NH₄-N, and NO₃-N, providing detailed insights into how these factors vary across seasons and sites. The dominance of Cyanobacteria during colder months, with an average winter temperature of 27.8 °C, indicates the heightened risk of harmful algal blooms associated with nutrient enrichment. Seasonal dynamics showed that warmer summer months intensified the effects of nitrate and total phosphorus, driving site-specific phytoplankton proliferation. Adaptive wetland management strategies, including enhanced hydrological connectivity, nutrient runoff reduction, and targeted restoration, are essential to mitigate eutrophication and sustain ecological resilience. This approach provided practical insights for balancing conservation goals with ecosystem services in one of Taiwan’s key wetlands.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"236 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143521588","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 period was divided into Before Lockdown (BLD), During Lockdown (Phase-I (P-I), Phase-II (P-II), Phase-III (P-III), Phase-IV (P-IV)) and After Lockdown (ALD). The air pollutant concentrations over four stations were retrieved using in-situ measurements under the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), India network.

This study aimed to investigate the potential to adapt classic filtration theory for application in GI design. Two native Australian plants used as filter media were involved in laboratory experiments to remove aerosol particles ranging in size from 0.3 to &gt; 10 µm. A comparison of aerosol removal efficiencies obtained from the laboratory experiments and predicted through classic filtration theory showed good correlation for the smaller (needle-like) leaf system. In contrast, the correlation obtained for a plant with larger elliptical leaves was not as good, showing a larger difference between the results. Such outcomes led to the conclusion that smaller and spatially homogeneous plant systems have more predictable aerosol filtration characteristics, which can be reasonably calculated using filtration theory.
