Groundwater Quality and Health: Making the Invisible Visible

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 57(13), P. 5125 - 5136

Published: March 6, 2023

Linking groundwater quality to health will make the invisible visible, but there are knowledge gaps understand linkage which requires cross-disciplinary convergent research. The substances in that critical can be classified into five types according sources and characteristics: geogenic substances, biogenic elements, anthropogenic contaminants, emerging pathogens. most intriguing questions related quantitative assessment of human ecological risks exposure via natural or induced artificial discharge: What is list released from discharging groundwater, what pathways receptors' substances? How quantify flux during discharge? procedures we follow assess Answering these fundamental for humans deal with challenges water security quality. This perspective provides recent progresses, gaps, future trends understanding between health.

The effect of social media environmental information exposure on the intention to participate in pro-environmental behavior

PLoS ONE, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 18(11), P. e0294577 - e0294577

Published: Nov. 16, 2023

With the threat of global warming, countries worldwide have enhanced their environmental campaigns on social media to increase users' willingness take pro-environmental actions. In this study, we examined direct and indirect effects exposure information Chinese young adults' (18-25 years old) intention participate in protection actions (e.g., recycling, using public transportation, involvement an group, participation eco-friendly events). Data were collected from a sample 291 adults web-based survey thoroughly designed questionnaire. The accumulated data analyzed SPSS version 20. Hierarchical regression mediation analysis performed for testing hypotheses. results indicated that platforms (WeChat Xiaohongshu) positively affected individuals' behavior, perceived behavior control, attitude, fear victimization. effect demonstrated control attitude mediated relationship between both WeChat Xiaohongshu behavior. Extending existing literature, study provides empirical evidence influence among adults. addition, it valuable insights into mediating mechanisms involving cognitive, psychological, emotional factors relationship. Policy makers should implement effective promotions inspire individuals engage environmentally friendly managers strictly authenticate remove misleading content.

Impact of climate change on catchment nutrient dynamics: insights from around the world

Environmental Reviews, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 31(1), P. 4 - 25

Published: July 21, 2022

This study is a meta-analysis of global articles on hydrological nutrient dynamics to determine trends and consensus on: (1) the effects climate change-induced temperature drivers how these vary along catchment continuum from land river lake; (2) convergence change impacts with other anthropogenic pressures (agriculture, urbanization) in dynamics; (3) regional variability water-quality impairment across different zones. An innovative web crawler tool was employed help critically synthesize information literature. The literature suggests that will impact around globe exacerbate contemporary challenges. Nutrient leaching overland flow transport are projected increase globally, promoted by extreme precipitation. Seasonal variations streamflow expected emulate changing precipitation patterns, but specific local hydrology both seasonally regionally. Plant activity may reduce some this load nonagricultural soils if plant uptake nutrients prompted increased temperatures can compensate for greater nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) mineralization, N deposition, rates. High-temperature forest grass fires mineralization microbial turnover altering speciation via pyrolysis organic matter. In agricultural areas at higher risk erosion, existing issues, lead an fertilizer use. Future urban expansion amplify effects. Higher ambient promote harmful cyanobacterial blooms enhancing thermal stratification, increasing into streams lakes events, decreasing summer thus baseflow dilution capacity, water residence times during increasingly frequent droughts. Land management decisions must consider nuanced seasonal changes identified review (realized predicted).

Nitrogen removal in freshwater sediments of riparian zone: N-loss pathways and environmental controls

Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 14

The riparian zone is an important location of nitrogen removal in the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Many studies have focused on efficiency one or two processes zone, less attention has been paid to interaction different transformation impact situ environmental conditions. molecular biotechnology, microcosm culture experiments 15N stable isotope tracing techniques were used this research at Weinan section Wei River, reveal mechanism with multi-layer lithologic structure. results showed that rate was 4.14-35.19 μmol·N·kg-1·h-1. Denitrification, dissimilatory reduction ammonium (DNRA) anaerobic oxidation (anammox) jointly achieved natural attenuation process denitrification dominant (accounting for 59.6%). High dissolved organic nitrate ratio (DOC:NO3-) would promote denitrification, but when NO3- content than 0.06 mg/kg, DNRA occur preference denitrification. Furthermore, abundances functional genes (norB, nirS, nrfA) anammox bacterial 16S rRNA gene similar distribution patterns corresponding rates. Sedimentary NOX-, Fe(II), carbon (DOC) microbial abundance main factors affecting zone. Fe (II) promoted through dependent ferrous under mediation, DOC promotes enhancing effect. study can be management prevention control global pollution.
