Moreover, the Cd(II) removal capacity of optimal blue algae-derived biochar (BC600-2) (135.7 mg g-1) was 85.9% and 66.9% higher than the removal capacity of CSBC and RHBC, respectively. In addition, the results of the characterization methods showed that precipitation with minerals was the primary mechanism, accounting for 68.7-89.5% of the capacity. Overall, blue algae-derived biochars, as a product from freshwater biowaste, may be a novel and potentially valuable adsorbent for Cd(II) removal.Biochar, a carbon-rich material, has been widely used to adsorb a range of pollutants because of its low cost, large specific surface area (SSA), and high ion exchange capacity. The adsorption capacity of biochar, however, is limited by its small porosity and low content of surface functional groups. Nano-metal oxides have a large SSA and high surface energy but tend to aggregate and passivate because of their fine-grained nature. In combining the positive qualities of both biochar and nano-metal oxides, nano-metal oxide-biochar composites (NMOBCs) have emerged as a group of effective and novel adsorbents. NMOBCs improve the dispersity and stability of nano-metal oxides, rich in adsorption sites and surface functional groups, maximize the adsorption capacity of biochar and nano-metal oxides respectively. Since the adsorption capacity and mechanisms of NMOBCs vary greatly amongst different preparations and application conditions, there is a need for a review of NMOBCs. Herein we firstly summarize the recent methods of preparing NMOBCs, the factors influencing their efficacy in the removal of several pollutants, mechanisms underlying the adsorption of different pollutants, and their potential applications for pollution control. Recommendations and suggestions for future studies on NMOBCs are also proposed.The biodiversity of insects is threatened worldwide. Numerous studies have reported the serious decline in insects that has occurred in recent decades. The same is happening with the important group of pollinators, with an essential utility for pollination of crops. Loss of insect diversity and abundance is expected to provoke cascading effects on food webs and ecosystem services. Many authors point out that reductions in insect abundance must be attributed mainly to agricultural practices and pesticide use. TH1760 in vivo On the other hand, evidence for the effects of non-thermal microwave radiation on insects has been known for at least 50 years. The review carried out in this study shows that electromagnetic radiation should be considered seriously as a complementary driver for the dramatic decline in insects, acting in synergy with agricultural intensification, pesticides, invasive species and climate change. The extent that anthropogenic electromagnetic radiation represents a significant threat to insect pollinators is unresolved and plausible. For these reasons, and taking into account the benefits they provide to nature and humankind, the precautionary principle should be applied before any new deployment (such 5G) is considered.Due to excessive exploitation, groundwater resources of coastal regions are exposed to seawater intrusion. Therefore, vulnerability assessments are essential for the quantitative and qualitative management of these resources. The GALDIT model is the most widely used approach for coastal aquifer vulnerability assessment, but suffers from subjectivity of the identification of rates and weights. This study aimes at developing a new hybrid framework for improving the accuracy of coastal aquifer vulnerability assessment using various statistical, metaheuristic, and Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) methods to improve the GALDIT model. The Gharesoo-Gorgan Rood coastal aquifer in northern Iran is used as study site. In order to meet this aim, the Differential Evolution (DE) and Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) metaheuristic algorithms were employed to optimize the GALDIT weights. In addition, a novel MADM method, named Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA), and the bivariate statistical methodies to manage and protect groundwater resources.To explore the effects of Microcystis blooms on nitrogen (N) cycling in the water column, the community structures of the Microcystis-attached and free-living bacteria in Lake Taihu were assessed and a mesocosm experiment was further conducted on the shore of Lake Taihu. The bacterial communities of Microcystis-attached and free-living bacteria were dominated by heterotrophic bacteria, such as Pseudomonas and Massilia, while the relative abundances of the genera related to traditional autotrophic nitrification were surprisingly low. However, the dramatic increase in nitrate (NO3-) levels at the daytime suggested that in the mesocosms nitrification did occur, during which the heterotrophic nitrifiers played a predominant role as revealed by the acetylene inhibition experiment. The ammonium (NH4+) concentrations were always maintained at a low level, indicating that most of the substrates for daytime nitrification originated from organic N. The total N being removed during the experiment was much less than the sum of daily NO3- reduction, while the decrease in NO3- concentration was much higher than the increase in NH4+ concentration during the night, indicating that assimilation was the main explanation for nocturnal NO3- reduction. Thus, the cycling of organic N (remineralization) - heterotrophic nitrification - NO3- assimilation (reduction) promoted by Microcystis blooms aggravates the diurnal variation of NO3- in the water column.This study aims to assess and compare the kinetics (accumulation/elimination) of the marine biotoxins okadaic acid (OA) and dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX1), between native (Ruditapes decussatus) and invasive (Ruditapes philippinarum) clam species, and their genotoxic effects and DNA recover capacity after, exposure to toxic dinoflagellates Prorocentrum lima. Clams were fed with P. lima for 5 days and then to non-toxic algae (post-exposure) during other 5 days. Toxin concentrations determined in clams by LC-MS/MS were related with DNA damage and repair assessment through the comet and base excision repair (BER) assays, respectively. Differential accumulation patterns were observed between the invasive and native species. The invasive species consistently and progressively accumulated the toxins during the first 24 h of exposure, while the native clams showed drastic variations in the toxin accumulation. Nevertheless, at the end of a 5 days of exposure period, the native clams presented higher toxin concentrations, nearly reaching the legal regulatory limit for human consumption.
