Per-and polyfluoroalkyl degradation in a hybrid dielectric barrier discharge plasma and electrooxidation system through involving more reactive species by air and water circulation.

The presence of PFAS in water matrices has become a global environmental issue in the last half-century. Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) and electrooxidation (EO) showed potential for PFAS degradation but have yet to find practical application due to relatively high energy consumption. In this study, a hybrid DBD-EO system for efficient degradation of PFAS was developed by involving more reactive oxygen, sulfate radicals (SO) and nitrogen species (RONS).

Efficient degradation of p-nitrophenol from water by enhancing dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma through ozone circulation: Optimization, kinetics and mechanism.

Non-thermal dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma has received great attention for degradation of persistent organic pollutants such as p-nitrophenol (PNP). However, the feasibility of the DBD implementation is not clear due to its high energy consumption and relatively low degradation efficiency. In this research, a novel strategy was suggested based on re-circulation of the generated O in the DBD system to enhance the PNP degradation efficiency and energy yield.

The relation between obesity and breast cancer risk in women by considering menstruation status and geographical variations: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Given the increase in the incidence of breast cancer during the past decades, several studies have investigated the effects of variables on breast cancer, especially obesity. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate any effects of obesity on breast cancer risk in women, before and after menopause, and in different continents.All forms of relevant literature examining any association between obesity and breast cancer, including cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies, were identified in the PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases from January 1, 1990 until January 13, 2023.
