Modifications in Rheological Properties regarding Mortars with Steel Slags along with Metallic Materials by Magnetic Industry.
More than 50% of LBP in the LBP/PVP-ZIF-67 can degrade to dissolvable phosphorus in oxygenated water after 17 days, indicating the nanomaterial will not be persistent in the environment. Moreover, modification with ZIF-67 can reduce cytotoxicity of LBP. Therefore, this study develops a safe strategy to modify LBP and provides basic information for ecological risk assessment of LBP based materials.Global warming is one of the major threats to human survival and social development. Agriculture, as an important source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, cannot be ignored. China is the world's largest carbon emitter, and if it does not actively participate, other countries in the world will not be able to achieve the 1.5 degree temperature control target. Hence, the issue of China's agricultural emissions reduction is worthy of attention. As part of this study a framework for estimating agricultural GHG emissions was constructed. A directional distance function was then used to estimate the cost of emission reduction from the perspective of economic output. Furthermore, through the economic elasticity of shadow prices, agricultural economic development and emission reduction were included in the same framework to study the regional gap of agricultural emission reduction models. Finally, reducing agricultural emission reduction costs was discussed from the perspective of economy, technology, and policy. We found that (1) Agricultural emission reduction costs have phased characteristics and regional differences, and differentiated emission reduction cost improvement measures can help with efficient emission reduction. (2) The emission reduction cost in developed regions is more likely to be affected by technological progress and the strength of environmental governance by government. The emission reduction cost in regions dominated by planting is affected by the industrial structure and energy consumption structure. The emission reduction cost in underdeveloped regions is affected by the economic level. (3) We must give full play to the leading role of benchmarking regions in reducing emissions.Plastic has been an environmental pollutant far longer than claimed by the first reports surfacing in 1979, meaning some plastic materials have been decaying in nature for decades. Nevertheless, the threat posed to biota is not fully understood, especially from aged microplastic. The question considered in this study was whether the adverse effects of new plastic differ from those of old plastic material. Therefore, the morphological and physiological effects on Lepidium sativum with exposure to both new and aged polycarbonate were considered against a known stressor leaching from polycarbonate with time, bisphenol-A. Exposure to new and short-term aged polycarbonate (up to 80 days) elicited the most severe effects such as germination inhibition, reduced seedling growth, decreased chlorophyll concentrations, and increased catalase activity. These adverse effects in L. Crenolanib sativum associated with polycarbonate exposure were reduced as a function of the ageing time applied to the polycarbonate. The chemical substances that lend new polycarbonate material its toxicity were likely leached with time during the ageing process. Based on the results obtained, temperature and humidity based artificial ageing significantly reduced the phytotoxicity of the microplastic particles.Debris flows are a common natural trigger of disasters in mountainous areas, and check dams are standard structural measures for controlling debris flows. Despite their prevalence in debris flow-prone areas worldwide, the capacity of check dams is still calculated using empirical formulas, which lead to large calculation errors. This paper proposes a new method that uses GIS to calculating the design storage capacity of a check dam in the debris flow-prone Cutou Gully in Wenchuan County, China. Large-scale digital surface models derived from unmanned aerial vehicle imagery and ground surveys identify local topographic changes in the debris flow path and develop appropriate maintenance plans for check dams. The measured storage capacity of the check dam is determined by analyzing the DEM differences. This study uses the newly proposed method to calculate the design storage capacity of the check dam. The accuracy of the calculation results was evaluated using the checkpoint method, and the results showed that the design and measured siltation surface errors ranged from -1.16-2.96 m, with a root mean square error of 0.93 m. The design capacity of the check dam is 33.6× 104 m3, and the actual capacity is 36.7× 104 m3, with an absolute error of 3.1× 104 m3 and relative error of 8.6%. The results prove the validity of the proposed calculation method; moreover, this study shows that the new method is accurate, easy to operate, and highly efficient for visualizing the spatial distribution of the siltation depth behind the check dam. This work will help improve future engineering decisions, design strategies, and find optimal design solutions to minimize the risk of debris flow hazards.The coexistence of antibiotics, heavy metals and microplastics is becoming commonplace and may affect antibiotic resistance in manured soil. The current understanding of the role of microplastics in soil with combined pollution of antibiotics, heavy metals and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is limited. Here, the effects of the coexistence of tetracycline (TC), Cu and environmental microplastics (EM) on the fate of nine ARGs and three heavy metal resistance genes in agricultural soil were investigated by batch and microcosm experiments. EM were obtained by exposing virgin microplastics to soil environments for 80 days, which exhibited higher adsorption affinity for Cu and TC than soil particles and virgin microplastics. 1% EM in soil increased bioavailable concentrations of TC and Cu by 79-138% and 88-135%, respectively, and decreased TC dissipation from 11.79 mg kg-1 to 3.08 mg kg-1. Correspondingly, the total relative abundances of target ARGs increased by 219-348%. The significant correlations of tetG, tetB, tetQ, sul2, sul1 and intl1 with bioavailable fractions of TC and Cu in soil environments were revealed by network analysis. Moreover, scanning electron micrographs showed the special plastisphere around EM. Attributed to the biofilm generation and higher pollutant accumulation in the plastisphere, EM could be the source of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and ARGs in soil environments. Structure equation models further identified that indirect effects of EM acted a major role in the propagation of ARGs by altering soil properties, soil microbial diversity and intl1 abundance. This study revealed that EM could increase the stimulative effects of Cu and TC on antibiotic resistance and magnify the environmental risk of manure application in soil environments.
