The effect of air pollution on plants is still underexplored, especially belowground. We used a field facility that released diesel exhaust and ozone at concentrations equivalent to those near a busy road in Reading, UK, to measure belowground gas exchange of Scots pine together with feeding by large pine weevils, a major pest of conifers.

Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene(BTEX)are typical organic pollutants in coal chemical wastewater, which were difficult to be biodegraded under normal conditions, and were often removed by chemical means in the actual production process.

Delivering Sulfate to LNAPL Body for Enhanced Source Zone Depletion (ESZD)
Abstract This field pilot study evaluates the feasibility of applying sulfate to a light non‐aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) body for achieving enhanced source zone depletion (ESZD) at a refinery site. Two rounds of gypsum land application (GLA) delivered sulfate to an 8000 ft2 area encompassing LNAPL‐containing monitoring wells MW‐2 and MW‐3, while MW‐1 ...

Performance and Mechanism of Chlorine Dioxide on BTEX Removal in Liquid and Indoor Air
With the development of the chemical industry, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) have gradually become the major indoor air pollutants. Various gas treatment techniques are widely used to prevent the physical and mental health hazards of ...

This show the biodegradation of spent lubricating oil by Bacillus sp. and a marine bacterial consortium. The consortium showed higher growth, biosurfactant production and oil removal efficiency than the isolated strain, highlighting its potential for bioremediation ABSTRACT Spent automotive lubricating oil contains complex hydrocarbons and heavy metals,

Abstract Spatial heterogeneity, manifested as strong variability in hydraulic conductivity (K) within geological formations, exerts a fundamental control on groundwater flow and solute transport. Because K can vary over multiple orders of magnitude in complex three‐dimensional patterns, predicting contaminant plume migration remains a long‐standing ...

ABSTRACT Background Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer in Mexico, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most frequent subtype. Exposure to high concentrations of benzene has been associated with ALL incidence, particularly in urban areas. This study evaluated the relationship between distance to benzene emission sources and the number

Risk assessment of workers' exposure to BTEX and hazardous area classification at gasoline stations.
Vaporization of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) compounds pollutes the air and causes health hazards at gasoline stations. This study revealed the risk of BTEX exposure according to the hazardous area classification at gasoline stations.
