High levels of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in compost materials pose a significant threat to the environment and human health. Conventional composting (CC) is widely adopted for waste management. However, mitigating ARG rebound late phase remains challenging. This work presents strategy extend high-temperature duration by external heating achieve rapid (RC). An innovative two-stage mode (first stage: day 3–6, 55 °C; second 7–10, 70 °C) was utilized this study. We aimed compare removal...

Nanomaterials (NMs) have significant technological advantages due to their unique properties but release into the environment also carry potential eco-toxicological risks. Cu2O NMs numerous industrial and commercial applications, however less is known about risks human health ecosystems. This study investigated different shapes of nano-Cu2O (cubic octahedron) with humic acid (HA: 2 mg/L 10 mg/L) on reproduction, growth, survival rate Cu accumulation in two-generations Daphnia Magna species....

Profiles and driving mechanisms of antibiotic resistome in the polar region are important for exploring natural evolution resistance genes (ARGs). Here, we evaluated profiles multiple media on Inexpressible Island, Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica. Average concentrations ARGs intracellular DNA (iARGs) among water (3.98 × 106 copies/L), soil (3.41 107 copies/kg), penguin guano (7.04 copies/kg) were higher than those extracellular (eARGs) (1.99 104 (1.75 (8.02 copies/kg). It was indicated that...

This article presents a comprehensive review of research advances in 2013 on nonpoint source (NPS) pollution mainly caused by agricultural runoff, urban stormwater, highway and atmospheric deposition. Modeling techniques NPS with various tools the impact climate change are also reviewed. Diverse control treatment measures best management practices (BMPs) for mitigating their socioeconomic impacts assessed.

Odors during aerobic composting are irritating and unhealthy. This work aims to screen functional bacteria, both mesophilic thermophilic, decrease the release of odors in situ. Among our screened four N8, G1, S7, S15, were selected evaluate their deodorization potential. N8 G1 identified as ammonium-oxidizing belonging Acinetobacter indicus Bacillus licheniformis, respectively. S7 S15 categorized S-oxidizing bacteria paralicheniformis Rhodococcus sp., while thermophilic bacteria. Results...

The primary objective of this study is to develop and evaluate multifunctional open-graded friction course (MOGFC) for use as an in situ treatment technique remove Cu Zn from highway runoff. First, the conventional porous pavement, (OGFC), was prepared with varying air voids. Five different types adsorbents were selected based on cost, applicability, availability. Second, MOGFC by adding into void OGFC. A series laboratory tests conducted adsorption capacity metal removal efficiency MOGFC....

The development of aerobic composting is limited due to the long operation period. To meet increasing demand for organic waste disposal, this work presented a rapid process through temperature control strategy. Composting with program-controlled (PTC) achieved maturity within 14 days and degradation rate matter was 10% higher than that in convention (CC). Both processes promoted conversion heavy metals from mobile fraction stable fraction, thus ensuring safety compost products. Compared CC,...
