The built indoor environment, including domestic housing and commercial offices, has significantly lower air quality relative to ambient outdoor air. Methods of air purification typically rely on traditional mechanical filtration methods such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, which are energetically intensive and require routine maintenance to ensure adequate filtration. To reduce energy demands and to improve urban sustainability, phytoremediation technologies have emerged as a promising method for the remediation of indoor air quality. Due to the need to identify and optimize sustainable methods to improve air quality, we present a comprehensive review on the mechanisms for plant-driven and microbial-driven removal of gaseous contaminants (i.e. volatile organic compounds) is warranted. The literature indicates that indoor air phytoremediation systems rely on complex of both the biological aspects (plant parts, substrate, microbial community, substrate moisture) and abiotic factors (airflow and moisture content), however it is evident that the method for optimal application of these factors within systems is currently significantly understudied, especially in relation to research done in-situ. The authors recommend future research directions should be targeted at plant biochemical analysis of phytoremediation systems exposed to real world pollutants like petroleum vapor, vehicle emissions, and mixed synthetic furnishings of-gassing, as well as the dynamics of the substrate microbial community within root systems. The assessment and developed understanding of these key areas are not only essential for the progression of the field of research but also for continued wide spread adoption for these phytoremediation systems.

The impact of functional additives on biodegradable plastic biodegradation in natural terrestrial and composting environments
IF 12.6 1区 环境科学与生态学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-05-19 DOI: 10.1080/10643389.2024.2443284

Biodegradable plastics show promise in addressing traditional plastic waste issues. However, most commercially available biodegradable plastic products are blended/composite materials, combining biodegradable polymers with other polymers, fillers and additives. Non-reactive functional additives, such as plasticizers and stabilizers, raise concerns due to potential leaching as well as release on degradation. Thus, understanding how these additives affect biodegradation rates and processes is crucial, and a comprehensive overview is missing in the literature. This review highlights that the localized additive concentration levels adjacent to the plastic materials could, at least for a time, exceed the threshold concentrations for substantial impacts on microbial activities, especially in slow transport media such as soil and compost. Of the available literature, it is concerning that only a small fraction reported continuous quantitative biodegradation data with sampling frequency and duration adequate for comprehensive data synthesis. In those studies, the presence of additives resulted in an extended lag time for biodegradation compared to virgin polymer. Interestingly, additives also typically increased the biodegradation rate following this initial lag time. Overall, variation was observed in the half-life of biodegradable polymer/additive blends when considering both lag time and biodegradation rate. The likely key controlling factors dictating how additives impact biodegradable plastics biodegradation include the rate of additive leaching, alterations in polymer properties induced by additives and their leaching, and the intrinsic characteristics of the additives themselves. Future life cycle analysis and environmental impact assessments of new bioplastic products must consider the influence of additives.

A review of inland nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membrane concentrates management: Treatment, resource recovery and future development
IF 12.6 1区 环境科学与生态学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-05-19 DOI: 10.1080/10643389.2024.2436161

Nanofiltration and reverse osmosis have become prevalent methods for treating inland wastewater because of superior separation efficiency and operational simplicity, yet they produce highly polluting membrane concentrates (e.g., from municipal potable water and municipal and industrial wastewater) containing biological, organic, and salt pollutants. Managing membrane concentrates poses significant challenges, often resulting in underutilization of their valuable components. This paper discusses strategies for reducing, rendering harmless, and utilizing resources from membrane concentrates, along with their future development trends. Methods for reducing membrane concentrate formation, such as optimizing operational modes and membrane modification, are examined. Generally, the preprocessing methods can be used as an oxidation pretreatment to improve the removal of macromolecular pollutants in the membrane concentrates, and provide conditions for the targeted removal of non-biodegradability emerging contaminants by free radicals in the oxidation process. The biological treatment further treats biodegradable pollutants. Finally, biosafety and water quality can be guaranteed through the membrane process, so as to achieve near-zero emissions. Resource recovery options include the production of salt crystals (e.g., potassium and magnesium phosphate, hydroxyapatite), microalgae resources, and others. Additionally, non-chemical pretreatment before membrane processing is proposed to simplify the treatment of membrane concentrates. A new analytic hierarchy process aids in selecting appropriate treatment and resource utilization processes for membrane concentrates. Furthermore, there is a call for the establishment and reinforcement of water quality legislation to address emerging contaminants in membrane concentrates, as well as regulations governing the purity of resources such as salts recovered from membrane concentrates.

Nanozymes: An innovative approach to regulating heavy metal accumulation in plants and alleviating toxicity-A comprehensive review
IF 12.6 1区 环境科学与生态学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-05-19 DOI: 10.1080/10643389.2024.2448048

Managing farmlands’ heavy metal (HM) pollution is crucial for improving plant growth and ensuring agricultural product safety. While low to medium doses of HM exposure may not directly result in crop reduction, they can lead to HM accumulation in plants and potential food-chain risks, as well as trigger the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excessive ROS can cause oxidative stress and irreversible damage to plant cells. Nanozymes, cost-effective and stable artificial nanoparticles with enzyme-like activity, have been widely used in multiple fields. Over the past decade, research has confirmed certain nanozymes’ effectiveness in plant systemic immunity during HM remediation. The activities of nanozymes hinge on their physicochemical properties, while the biological effects also depend on application methods, size, charge, coating, crop varieties, and growth stages. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the nanozyme-plant interactions and resistance mechanisms to HMs. This paper comprehensively reviews nanozyme-mediated ROS scavenging mechanisms across enzymology, metabolomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics. It also introduces the application pathways and effects, influencing factors, possible risks, and prospects. This review may provide a theoretical framework for nanozyme-mediated mitigation of HM stress along with other abiotic stresses in agriculture for sustainable “precision fertilization” with nanozymes.

Radiological dose from seafood ingestion; a global summary from 40 years of study
IF 12.6 1区 环境科学与生态学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-03-19 DOI: 10.1080/10643389.2024.2413202

Seafood is an important source for meeting future global nutrient demands. However, it also contributes disproportionately to the radiological ingestion dose of more than five billion world consumers– up to ∼70%–80% of the total-foods dose in some countries. Although numerous studies report seafood doses in specific populations, there is still no comprehensive evaluation answering basic questions such as “what is the ingestion dose to the average global seafood consumer?” Analysis of 238 worldwide seafood dose estimates suggests that typical adult consumers receive from 0.13 to 0.21 mSv, with a likely best estimate of 0.15 mSv per annual seafood intake. Those consuming large amounts of seafood, particularly bivalves, may experience ingestion doses exceeding 1 mSv per annual intake, surpassing other routine background dose sources. The published studies suggest that doses of 3 mSv or greater are surpassed in about 150 million adult seafood consumers worldwide. Almost all this dose comes from the natural radionuclides that are prevalent in marine systems–especially 210Po. While trace levels of anthropogenic radionuclides are ubiquitous in seafoods (e.g.,137Cs and 239Pu), the added dose from these is typically orders of magnitude lower. Even following the large-scale releases from the Fukushima accident, with food safety controls in place, the additional dose to consumers in Japan was small relative to routine dose from natural background radionuclides. However, the worldwide seafood dose estimates span seven orders of magnitude, indicating a need for an assessment that integrates global seafood radionuclide data as well as incorporating changes in seafood consumption and production patterns.

Mercury transformations by reactive oxygen species: Occurrence, detection, evidence, and challenges
IF 12.6 1区 环境科学与生态学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-03-11 DOI: 10.1080/10643389.2025.2478037

Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that has attracted widespread attention due to its potent toxicity to humans. The transformations of Hg are critical to its global cycling and human exposure risk, considering that different Hg forms possess various mobility and toxicity. It is, therefore, essential to explore the mechanisms of Hg transformations. Both biotic and abiotic factors mediate Hg transformations in the environments, while the latter has not been sufficiently recognized, among which reactive oxygen species (ROS) are ubiquitous yet potentially overlooked drivers. This insufficient recognition of ROS-mediated Hg transformations impeded our understanding of Hg biogeochemistry. Herein, we summarized the generation mechanisms of ROS in the atmosphere, natural water, and soil, and elucidated ROS involvement in Hg transformations, including MeHg degradation, Hg0 oxidation, and Hg(II) reduction. Then, approaches for exploring the role of ROS in Hg transformations were introduced, including ROS detection, quenching, generation, and DFT calculations. By summarizing the implications of ROS-mediated Hg transformations for Hg biogeochemical cycling and proposing potential challenges in further studies, we highlight the importance and necessity of studying this driving force in Hg biogeochemistry.

Effects of rare earth elements in the aquatic environment: Implications for ecotoxicological testing 稀土元素在水生环境中的影响:生态毒理学测试的意义
IF 12.6 1区 环境科学与生态学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-03-04 DOI: 10.1080/10643389.2024.2406992

Rare earth elements (REE) are recognized as emerging pollutants due to their widespread use in modern society (e.g., in the production of electronics, renewable energy technologies, and advanced medical devices) which leads to anthropogenically elevated concentrations in the environment with potential consequences for ecosystem health. This article critically reviews the current scientific knowledge on aquatic bioavailability and toxicity of REE and focuses on pitfalls that could influence the outcome of ecotoxicity tests. After passing our quality criteria, we reviewed 38 papers on the ecotoxicity of REE in depth. Most studies focused on freshwater environments, indicating a need for more research on marine ecosystems, particularly on marine vertebrates. The results showed that heavy REE tend to be more toxic than light REE to aquatic organisms. Critical aspects for biotesting REE include complexation with ions such as phosphates (nutrient in algae tests) and carbonates. Carbonate complexation decreases potentially bioavailable aqueous REE species and may lower toxicity at increasing water hardness, although this may also be caused by competition of REE3+ and Ca2+ for the same binding sites in organisms. REE have a high tendency to adsorb to glass and it is recommended to use vessels made of polyethylene terephthalate or polycarbonate instead. More research is needed on chemical speciation and the interaction of REE with various organisms, also in multi-species mesocosm studies. A robust aquatic risk assessment on REE requires information on nominal and measured concentrations in both acute and chronic ecotoxicological bioassays as well as a thorough characterization of exposure.
稀土元素(REE)被认为是新兴污染物,因为它们在现代社会中广泛使用(例如,在电子产品、可再生能源技术和先进医疗设备的生产中),导致环境中人为浓度升高,对生态系统健康产生潜在后果。本文批判性地回顾了目前关于稀土元素水生生物利用度和毒性的科学知识,并重点介绍了可能影响生态毒性试验结果的陷阱。在通过我们的质量标准后,我们深入审查了38篇关于稀土元素生态毒性的论文。大多数研究集中在淡水环境,这表明需要对海洋生态系统,特别是海洋脊椎动物进行更多的研究。结果表明,重稀土元素对水生生物的毒性大于轻稀土元素。生物测试稀土元素的关键方面包括与磷酸盐(藻类测试中的营养物)和碳酸盐等离子的络合作用。碳酸盐络合降低了水中潜在的生物可利用的稀土元素,并可能降低水硬度增加时的毒性,尽管这也可能是由于REE3+和Ca2+在生物体内竞争相同的结合位点造成的。稀土元素极易吸附在玻璃上,因此建议使用聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯或聚碳酸酯制成的容器。在化学物种形成和稀土元素与各种生物的相互作用方面,以及在多物种中观研究方面,还需要进行更多的研究。对稀土元素进行强有力的水生风险评估需要关于急性和慢性生态毒理学生物分析中标称浓度和测量浓度的信息,以及对暴露的全面描述。

Secondary organophosphate esters: A review of environmental source, occurrence, and human exposure 二级有机磷酸酯:环境来源、发生和人类暴露的综述
IF 12.6 1区 环境科学与生态学 Q1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Pub Date : 2025-02-16 DOI: 10.1080/10643389.2024.2399968

Organophosphate esters (OPEs), a group of synthetic chemicals widely used as flame retardants and plasticizers, have garnered significant international attention due to their adverse effects on the environment and human health. Traditionally, environmental OPEs are thought to originate via direct emissions. Recent evidence suggests that OPEs also have an important indirect source: The transformation of organophosphite antioxidants (another group of mass-produced commercial chemicals) to OPEs via atmospheric chemical reactions. This indirect source can lead to the formation of secondary OPEs (SOPEs) such as tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphate (TDtBPP), which are widely distributed in the global environment and have distinct physiochemical and toxic properties compared with the well-studied primary OPEs. Therefore, there is an urgent need to obtain a strong fundamental knowledge of SOPEs. This review summarizes the current understanding of the sources, environmental occurrence, human exposure pathways, and environmental hazards of SOPEs. They have been detected in various environmental matrices such as air, soil, and indoor dust, as well as in consumer products such as face masks and foodstuffs. Notably, the reported SOPE concentrations are higher than most primary OPEs. Human exposure pathways related to SOPEs include dietary intake, dust ingestion, hand-to-mouth contact, dermal absorption, and air inhalation. Additionally, risk evaluation indicates that SOPEs are more persistent in the environment and in organisms, and may pose a higher risk than the primary OPEs. Finally, by summarizing the current advances and remaining challenges for the investigation of SOPEs, we propose future research directions regarding their environmental monitoring needs, transformation chemistry, environmental impact, and health effect.
有机磷酸酯(OPEs)是一类广泛用作阻燃剂和增塑剂的合成化学品,因其对环境和人类健康的不利影响而引起了国际社会的广泛关注。传统上,环境OPEs被认为是通过直接排放产生的。最近的证据表明,OPEs还有一个重要的间接来源:有机磷酸酯抗氧化剂(另一组大规模生产的商业化学品)通过大气化学反应转化为OPEs。这种间接来源可导致形成次生OPEs (SOPEs),如三(2,4-二叔丁基苯基)磷酸(TDtBPP),它们广泛分布于全球环境中,与已得到充分研究的原生OPEs相比,具有不同的物理化学和毒性。因此,迫切需要获得强大的sop基础知识。本文综述了目前对SOPEs的来源、环境发生、人体暴露途径和环境危害的认识。在空气、土壤和室内灰尘等各种环境基质以及口罩和食品等消费品中都检测到它们。值得注意的是,报告的SOPE浓度高于大多数主要OPEs。与SOPEs相关的人体暴露途径包括饮食摄入、灰尘摄入、手-口接触、皮肤吸收和空气吸入。此外,风险评估表明,SOPEs在环境和生物体中更持久,可能比主要OPEs造成更高的风险。最后,总结了SOPEs的研究现状和面临的挑战,并从其环境监测需求、转化化学、环境影响和健康效应等方面提出了未来的研究方向。

Recent evidence suggests that OPEs also have an important indirect source: The transformation of organophosphite antioxidants (another group of mass-produced commercial chemicals) to OPEs <i>via</i> atmospheric chemical reactions. This indirect source can lead to the formation of secondary OPEs (SOPEs) such as tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl) phosphate (TDtBPP), which are widely distributed in the global environment and have distinct physiochemical and toxic properties compared with the well-studied primary OPEs.

The vigorous development of nuclear power is one of the main strategies to solve the energy crisis and environmental pollution due to clean and high energy density of nuclear energy. As the main nuclear fuel, uranium is not only the shortage of terrestrial resource but also pose potential threat to the environment. To figure out these dilemma, various polymers have been widely developed to remove U(VI) from wastewater or extract U(VI) from seawater due to abundant reactive sites, high adsorption efficiency, large surface areas and controlled porous structure. Herein, the recent advances concerning U(VI) removal from seawater or wastewater on various polymer-bearing adsorbents (i.e., metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent-organic frameworks (COFs) and the other polymers) were summarized at large. The effect of different modification methods, influencing factors and interaction mechanism of U(VI) on these polymers were reviewed in details. Finally, the current problems as well as future direction of various polymer adsorbents toward U(VI) removal was provided. The review hopefully provides high-efficiency polymer adsorbents for the removal of uranium from aqueous solution or natural seawater.
大力发展核能是解决核能清洁、高能量密度所带来的能源危机和环境污染的主要战略之一。铀作为主要的核燃料,不仅是陆地资源的短缺,而且对环境构成潜在威胁。为了解决这些难题,各种聚合物因其丰富的活性位点、高吸附效率、大表面积和可控的多孔结构而被广泛开发用于去除废水中的U(VI)或从海水中提取U(VI)。本文综述了各种含聚合物吸附剂(金属-有机框架(mof)、共价-有机框架(COFs)和其他聚合物)对海水或废水中U(VI)的去除研究进展。综述了不同改性方法、影响因素及U(VI)对这些聚合物的作用机理。最后,提出了目前各种高分子吸附剂在去除U(VI)方面存在的问题和未来的发展方向。本综述有望为高效聚合物吸附剂去除水中或天然海水中的铀提供参考。

Biological carbon fixation is essential to the Earth’s carbon cycle and serves as an effective means of converting CO2 and managing carbon emissions. Chemoautotrophic microorganisms, known for their unique metabolic strategies and environmental adaptability, play a significant role in this process. They can convert CO2 into valuable organic products, addressing the otherwise limited use of CO2. However, the potential of chemoautotrophic microorganisms for biological carbon fixation in controlled environments has not been fully explored. This review aims to evaluate the current state of research on the carbon fixation capabilities of chemoautotrophic microorganisms in artificially controlled system. It examines the factors affecting bacterial growth and expounds optimization strategies one by one to enhance biological carbon fixation efficiency. Furthermore, the review details the applications of chemoautotrophs cultivated in controlled systems, which include increasing biological productivity in natural habitats, reducing carbon emissions in specific scenarios, and producing high-value byproducts. The discussion highlights both the advantages and challenges of these applications, providing critical insights into the regulation and practical use of chemoautotrophic carbon fixation technology.
