The rapid urbanization in China has led to severe agricultural non-point source pollution, threatening sustainable development. This study investigates the impact of new urbanization policies on controlling agricultural non-point source pollution and explores the underlying mechanisms. Utilizing...

This study presents an innovative approach to air quality assessment by integrating low-cost sensor networks with line source modeling. The research focuses on monitoring air pollutants in urban environments, particularly along a busy highway corridor in Chennai, India. A portable sensor kit was...

Wetlands are among the most important ecosystems in the world, owing to their ecosystem characteristics. Therefore, they offer rich biodiversity in the areas where they are located. However, despite all legal regulations, wetlands are at risk both globally and in Türkiye. This risk is mainly caused...

The influence of land-use patterns on water quality in the Huaihe River Basin was analyzed using the Nemerow index, correlation and multiple linear regression analysis based on the measured data from 62 sampling sites in the Huaihe River Basin (China). In the point buffer zone, a significant...

The Karun River, the longest and highest water flow river in Iran, has experienced heavy and trace metal pollution in recent years. While previous studies have evaluated the water quality of the river, not all sections from north to south have been examined for all metals. To address this gap, a...

Investigating the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of livestock environmental efficiency and its decoupling effect is crucial for fostering the coordinated development of livestock economy and environmental sustainability. This study examines the spatiotemporal distribution, regional gaps, dynamic...

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the possibility of using a lignocellulosic residue, peanut shells after alkaline activation, as a low-cost adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions. Adsorption experiments were conducted by varying parameters such as the...

Conventional electrical power systems often prioritize economic gain over environmental protection, which can lead to negative environmental consequences, such as emissions from thermal power plants. In recent years, there has been significant research and investment aimed at addressing the...

In this work, untreated activated carbon (UDP-AC) and activated carbon chemically treated with H₂SO₄ (TDP-AC) were successfully synthesized from date pits, a solid waste material. Characterization was performed on both UDP-AC and TDP-AC, and both samples were used to adsorb methylene blue (MB) dye...
