Metagenomic analysis on resistance genes in water and microplastics from a mariculture system

Jian Lu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the distribution of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and metal resistance genes (MRGs) in water and microplastics of a mariculture pond using metagenomic analysis. The results showed that microplastics could enrich most of the MRGs and some ARGs, potentially serving as reservoirs for these pollutants.

Removal of steroid hormones from mariculture system using seaweed Caulerpa lentillifera

Jian Lu et al.

Summary: The study investigated the removal of steroid hormones from mariculture systems using seaweeds, with Caulerpa lentillifera showing the highest efficiency. The removal of hormones by Caulerpa lentillifera was attributed to initial quick biosorption, slow accumulation, and biodegradation processes. The study also found a positive relationship between hormone removal and nutrient levels, as well as initial hormone concentrations.

Adsorption and Desorption of Steroid Hormones by Microplastics in Seawater

Jian Lu et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the adsorption and desorption of E2 and EE2 on microplastics in seawater, exploring the effects of microplastic materials, particle sizes, salinity, pH, HA concentrations, and initial E2/EE2 concentrations. The results showed that increases in salinity, HA concentration, and initial E2/EE2 concentration enhanced adsorption of E2/EE2 on microplastics, with different kinetics and isotherm models fitting the data for E2 and EE2. Desorption capacity of E2/EE2 on microplastics was found to be over 40% of its adsorption capacity, providing new insights on microplastics and endocrine disrupting chemicals.

Continental-scale spatial distribution, sources, and health risks of heavy metals in seafood: challenge for the water-food-energy nexus sustainability in coastal regions?

Jian Lu et al.

Summary: The study found that heavy metal concentrations in seafood were highest in bivalve molluscs and lowest in fish. Estimated daily intake analysis showed that consuming seafood was safe for humans at all sampling sites, but Cr and As in 72% of fish samples posed high cancer risks for children.

Experimental and computational assessment of 1,4-Dioxane degradation in a photo-Fenton reactive ceramic membrane filtration process

Shan Xue et al.

Summary: The present study evaluated a photo-Fenton reactive membrane that achieved enhanced removal performance of 1,4-Dioxane. Under optimized conditions, the removal rate reached up to 16%, and both removal efficiency and apparent quantum yield were enhanced in the filtration mode compared to the batch mode.
