AbstractAgricultural residue is produced in large quantities during crop harvesting, and open burning of this waste causes environmental pollution and health risks. Due to the structural complexity of the lignocellulose and problems associated with physical and chemical methods of its pretreatments, there is an utmost need for an eco-friendly pretreatment strategy. Biological pretreatment involving microorganisms and their enzymes is an environment-benign and economic process due to lack of release or requirement of toxic chemicals during the process. Among microorganisms, filamentous fungi (mainly Basidiomycetes) with efficient enzymatic machinery have been used in efficient delignification and bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass. Enzyme-mediated pretreatment has further improved the saccharification of plant biomass with no sugar loss as in case of microbial pretreatment. Composting, ensiling, solid state fermentation, and biogas production are based on biological pretreatment, which are used for the generation of value-added products. Biological pretreatment does not require/release toxic chemicals but, is highly useful in detoxification of such toxic compounds. Biological pretreatment is significantly affected by biotic and abiotic factors. Pretreated biomass is hydrolyzed by cellulases and xylanases into sugars that are fermented into biofuels, organic acids, enzymes, and other products. The slow and long incubation nature of biological pretreatment has been overcome by combining with milder physico-chemical methods. Furthermore, the consolidated bioprocessing-based biorefinery approach has enhanced the potential of biological pretreatment by involving microbial consortium for the production of biofuels and other value-added products in a single step. Therefore, biological pretreatment-based biorefinery approach would be quite beneficial for the large-scale production of value-added products from lignocellulose with concomitant reduction in environmental pollution and solid waste management.Keywords: Bioconversionbiological pretreatmentbiorefineryconsolidated bioprocessing renewable biofuelslignocellulosic biomassHandling Editors: Vijai Kumar Gupta and Lena Q.

AbstractGreen and clean photocatalytic technology has been extensively applied to degrade environmental pollutants and produce renewable energy, which is an important mean to solve environmental and energy problems. However, limited to the cost and efficiency of photocatalysts, it is difficult to realize large-scale application. In recent years, the SAPCs have added new vitality into this field. SAPCs have the active homogeneous centers, heterogeneous structures, stability, high catalytic activity and selectivity properties.

In this review, the photocatalytic H2 production, CO2 reduction, nitrogen fixation, NOx removal, VOCs removal, pollutant degradation, reduction of radionuclides and heavy metal ions using SAPCs are reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of the six kinds of SAPCs substrates are analyzed, and design strategies are carefully summarized.

AbstractDue to the frequent occurrence of extreme weather and severe environmental pollution, food security and human survival are at risk. Silicon, a key element in plant nutrition and environmental remediation, has a variety of applications in combatting various forms of abiotic and biotic stress and fostering healthy plants and soils. To establish a silicon-based defense barrier for plants, we firstly summarized and grouped the mechanisms of silicon functioning in plants: 1) molecular regulation and overall strengthening, 2) physical barrier and apoplastic obstruction, and 3) energy conservation. Additionally, the types and applications of silicon-based materials as soil remediation materials and fertilizers were discussed. Then, the challenges to build up such a barrier were analyzed in terms of silicon absorption and transportation, deposition and aggregation, and perception and regulation. An "external + internal" strategy was proposed to accelerate the establishment of a silicon-based barrier to enhance plants’ resistance to extreme weather and environmental pollution, including high temperatures, drought, ultraviolet radiation, salt, heavy metals, nutrient deficiencies, new pollutants, and biotic stress. Finally, this paper emphasized the contribution of silicon barrier to healthy Soil-Plant-Atmosphere system that eventually benefit human health. This paper highlights the current understanding and future perspectives of silicon-related research in Soil-Plant-Atmosphere system, providing a reference for the application of silicon-based materials in environmental and agricultural fields.Keywords: environmental pollutionplant healthSiliconsoil healthstress resistanceHandling Editors: Dan Tsang and Lena Q.

AbstractDi-iso-nonyl phthalate (DINP) and di-iso-decyl phthalate (DIDP) have been employed increasingly as plasticizers to replace di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), a hormonal disruptor. Through this systematic review, we reviewed their (1) contamination levels in the environmental media, foods, and consumer products, (2) human exposure levels in national biomonitoring studies, and (3) associations with human sex and thyroid hormone disruption. PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched and eligible studies were identified. DINP and DIDP were found at higher concentrations in indoor environments, especially with high human activity and PVC use. In foods, contamination levels vary by production methods and tend to be higher in fatty foods. In children’s products, both plasticizers were more highly detected in samples measured before 2010. National biomonitoring data from several countries demonstrated that urinary levels of DINP and DIDP metabolites were relatively lower than those of DEHP. However, exposure to DINP has been associated with anti-androgenic potential in male offspring and adults and decreased thyroid hormones in mother–child pairs. In conclusion, existing literatures demonstrated widespread occurrence of DINP and DIDP in the indoor environment, diet, and children’s products, and in the human populations worldwide. At the current levels of exposure, DINP exhibited endocrine disruption potentials similar to those of DEHP, especially among males and pregnant women. Knowledge gaps in DIDP exposure among the human population were identified and should be considered for future studies.Keywords: Plasticizersphthalate acid esters (PAEs)exposurebiomonitoringendocrinesystematicreviewHANDLING EDITORS: Eakalak Khan and Lena Q.

摘要邻苯二甲酸二异壬基酯(DINP)和邻苯二甲酸二异癸基酯(DIDP)越来越多地被用作增塑剂,以取代激素干扰物邻苯二甲酸二(2-乙基己基)酯(DEHP)。通过这篇系统综述,我们回顾了它们(1)在环境介质、食品和消费品中的污染水平,(2)在国家生物监测研究中的人类暴露水平,以及(3)与人类性和甲状腺激素紊乱的关系。检索PubMed、Scopus和Web of Science并确定符合条件的研究。DINP和DIDP在室内环境中浓度较高,特别是在人类活动频繁和聚氯乙烯使用的环境中。在食品中,污染程度因生产方法而异,脂肪食品的污染程度往往更高。在儿童产品中,2010年以前检测到的这两种增塑剂的含量更高。来自几个国家的国家生物监测数据表明,尿中DINP和DIDP代谢物的水平相对低于DEHP。然而,暴露于DINP与雄性后代和成人的抗雄激素潜能以及母子对甲状腺激素的降低有关。综上所述,现有文献表明,DINP和DIDP在室内环境、饮食、儿童产品以及世界范围内的人群中广泛存在。在目前的暴露水平下,DINP表现出与DEHP相似的内分泌干扰潜力,特别是在男性和孕妇中。确定了人群中DIDP暴露方面的知识差距,并应在今后的研究中加以考虑。关键词:增塑剂邻苯二甲酸酯(PAEs)暴露生物监测内分泌系统评价编辑:Eakalak Khan和Lena Q.

AbstractDiatoms have unique silica cellular and metabolic characteristics and can grow in various environments, including wastewater, facilitating pollutant removal. Diatoms provide a sustainable solution to municipal wastewater treatment, particularly in the tertiary and quaternary stages, contributing to carbon neutrality. Diatom-based materials (such as diatom biomass) have wide applications and can be processed into value-added bioproducts such as lipids, polysaccharides, and pigments. Despite their potentials, the applications of diatoms in wastewater treatment are limited. Existing reviews fail to address how diatom growth kinetics affects wastewater treatment. Here, we for the first time summarize diatom growth kinetics and propose promising species for municipal wastewater treatment. Given the scarcity of reviews on diatom performance in wastewater treatment, we also discuss the efficacy of diatoms in removing contaminants from municipal wastewater. Moreover, we elucidate the removal mechanisms of nutrients, heavy metals, and emerging contaminants by diatoms that are missing in existing reviews. Considering the complexity of wastewater, we emphasize selecting diatom species with high growth rates, tolerance to contaminants, efficient nutrient removal/uptake, and COD removal, and bioproduct yields. This will ensure both effective treatment and economic viability. In addition, we discuss the value of diatom frustules and bioproducts generated from wastewater. Lastly, we highlight future directions including promoting diatom growth, exploring diatom-dominated consortia in wastewater treatment, and evaluating the values of diatom biomass cultivated in wastewater. This review examines the potential and applications of diatoms in municipal wastewater treatment, especially effluent polishing.HighlightsDiatoms are a sustainable solution to municipal wastewater treatmentDiatoms can remove nutrients, heavy metals, and emerging pollutants from wastewaterSummarized the growth kinetics of various diatom species for the first timeDiscussed the removal mechanisms of contaminants from wastewater by diatomsCompiled the wide applications of diatom biomass from wastewaterKeywords: Heavy metalsmicroalgaemunicipal wastewater treatment plantspharmaceuticals and personal care productsphycoremediationHandling Editors: Eakalak Khan and Lena Q.
