Article Synopsis
  • The Soil and Air Monitoring Program Phase III (SAMP-III) was conducted in 2019 to analyze persistent toxic substances, focusing on 154 soil samples collected across China, measuring 30 unsubstituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (U-PAHs) and 49 methylated PAHs (Me-PAHs).
  • The study found high mean concentrations of U-PAHs (540 ± 778 ng/g dw) and Me-PAHs (82.0 ± 132 ng/g dw), particularly in Northeastern and Eastern China, indicating these regions are of significant concern.
  • Compared to earlier monitoring phases, there was a notable decrease in PAH levels by 50% from 2012

Long-term retention and accumulation of heavy metals in surface water and sediment pose a great threat to the sustainable development of aquatic ecosystems and human health. In this research, macrozoobenthos, and surface water and sediment heavy metal (Mn, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Cd, and As) samples were collected from 23 sites in the upper and middle reaches of the Heihe River in the summers of 2019-2020. The interrelationships between heavy metals and macrozoobenthos were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis and redundancy analysis (RDA), and the contamination level and potential ecological risk of the heavy metals in surface water and sediments were assessed by comprehensive pollution index (WQI), single potential ecological risk index ([Formula: see text]), and sediment quality guideline-quotient (SQG-Q), respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed sediment samples from the Heihe River and its cascade reservoirs to explore how reservoir construction impacts sediment transport in inland rivers in China.
  • Results indicated that the cascade reservoirs significantly affected sediment grain size distribution, leading to a 79% retention rate of sediment and a 50% reduction in sediment fining.
  • The research highlighted that sediment characteristics were influenced by both source materials in upstream areas and hydrodynamic conditions in the mainstream, providing insights for managing reservoir operations and sediment control.

Background: Aeromedical evacuation of patients with burn trauma is an important transport method in times of peace and war, during which patients are exposed to prolonged periods of hypobaric hypoxia; however, the effects of such exposure on burn injuries, particularly on burn-induced lung injuries, are largely unexplored. This study aimed to determine the effects of hypobaric hypoxia on burn-induced lung injuries and to investigate the underlying mechanism using a rat burn model.

Methods: A total of 40 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups (10 in each group): sham burn (SB) group, burn in normoxia condition (BN) group, burn in hypoxia condition (BH) group, and burn in hypoxia condition with treatment intervention (BHD) group.

The Heihe River is a typical inland river under increasing anthropogenic pressure. To explore the characteristics of the macrobenthic assemblages and their relationships with environmental factors in the upstream and midstream regions of this basin, abiotic conditions and macrobenthic assemblages were investigated in the summers of 2018 and 2019. A total of 50 species were collected, and Arthropoda and mollusks were the dominant groups.
