Dissolved and particulate organic matter (DOM and POM) distribution, lignin phenol signatures, bulk elemental compositions, fluorescence indices and microbial plankton (algae, bacteria, viruses) in a temperate river floodplain system were monitored from January to November 2003. We aimed to elucidate the sources and compositions of allochthonous and autochthonous organic matter (OM) in the main channel and a representative backwater in relation to the hydrological regime. Additionally, bacterial secondary production was measured to evaluate the impact of organic carbon source on heterotrophic prokaryotic productivity. OM properties in the backwater tended to diverge from those in the main channel during phases without surface water connectivity; this was likely enhanced due to the exceptionally low river discharge in 2003. The terrestrial OM in this river floodplain system was largely derived from angiosperm leaves and grasses, as indicated by the lignin phenol composition. The lignin signatures exhibited significant seasonal changes, comparable to the seasonality of plankton-derived material. Microbially-derived material contributed significantly to POM and DOM, especially during periods of low discharge. High rates of bacterial secondary production (up to 135 μg C L(-1) d(-1)) followed algal blooms and suggested that autochthonous OM significantly supported heterotrophic microbial productivity.

Enhancing the passivation of heavy metals and increasing organic matter content during the composting of sewage sludge poses significant challenges for maximizing its utilization value. Results indicated that in the control, biochar, microbial agents and microbial agents-loaded biochar (BCLMA) groups, BCLMA addition led to a higher composting temperature, with increases of 17-62% in humic acid, 25-73% in germination index, and 30-35% in organic matter consumption. And the residual fraction of Cu, Zn, Cr and Cd were increased by 30%, 12%, 22%, and 17%, respectively.

Air pollution is a well-established risk factor for lung cancer, but limited evidence exists on its impact on the treatment of lung cancer. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of key pollutants on the efficacy of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, thereby providing clinicians with evidence to potentially enhance the efficacy of PD-1 therapy and inform policy decisions for cancer care. To this end, we conducted a study involving 361 NSCLC patients who received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor immunotherapy, examining the correlation between air pollution exposure and progression-free survival (PFS) following immunotherapy treatment.

The western Indian continental shelf (eastern Arabian Sea) exhibits contrasting biogeochemical features. This area becomes highly productive due to summer monsoon-driven coastal upwelling in the south and winter monsoon-induced convective mixing in the north. Additionally, in the northern self, the eastern boundary of the Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ) persists but is absent in the south.

Mangrove wetlands are strategic locations for mitigating climate changes. In order to address the harm of rapid climate change to mangrove ecosystems, it is necessary to scientifically predict the fate of mangrove ecosystems, which can be achieved by reconstructing the development history of mangrove forests. This study analyzes the contribution of mangrove-derived organic matter (CMOM) from sediment core F in Phang Nga Province, Thailand by using the endmember mixing model based on stable organic carbon isotopes (δC) and C/N (molar) ratio.

Improper management of wood impregnation chemicals and treated wood has led to soil contamination at many wood treatment sites, particularly with toxic substances like creosote oil and chromated copper arsenate (CCA). The simultaneous presence of these pollutants complicates the choice of soil remediation technologies, especially if they are to be applied in situ. In this laboratory study, we attempted to immobilise arsenic (As) and simultaneously degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (constituents of creosote oil) by applying a modified electrochemical oxidation method.
