25 total suspended particles (TSP) samples were collected at Lijiang city from Dec 2008 to Jan 2009. Analyzed results indicated that the concentration of CU-, NO3-, SO4(2-), Na+ , NH+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ were 16.00, 14.95, 49.40, 3.12, 44.75, 8.65, 29.50 and 183.02 neq x m(-3) respectively. The average total aerosol loading was 349.39 neq x m(-3), and the average concentration of Ca2+ was 52.38% percent of average total concentration, indicated it was the dominant ion in this sampling. The average concentration of detected cations was 3.35 times of anions, suggested the sum of cations generally exceed the sum of anions in our samples, and the main anion was not detected. The average value of SO4(2-)/NO3- was 3.98, showing that the sustained sources have mainly influences on air. According to the correlation coefficients among ions and factor analysis, Ca2+ and Mg2+ in our samples were from dust, and the sources of NO3-, SO4(2-), NH4+ and K+ were related to various combustion processes by human activities. As a whole, the ions in our samples were mainly combined as CaCO3, (NH4)2SO4, MgCO3, KNO3 and a little CaSO4 and Ca(NO3)2.

In addition to traditional organophosphate esters (tOPEs), emerging organophosphate esters (eOPEs) have increasingly been detected in the environment, but their risks remain unclear. This study detected 12 tOPEs and 7 eOPEs in surface water, sediment, and suspended particulate matter (SPM) samples from important aquatic habitats and drinking water sources in Yibin (YB), Yichang (YC), Shanghai (SH), and Poyang Lake (PY) within the Yangtze River basin. The total concentration of OPEs (ΣOPEs) in surface water, sediment, and SPM from these four regions were 22.

In this research, a sustainable blue-green infrastructure (BGI) was developed to efficiently remove contaminants from stormwater through a combined use of modified porous asphalt (PA) and microalgae cultivation to provide a potential drinking water (DW) source. According to the results, the modified PA with powder activated carbon (PAC) could successfully reduce the level of total suspended solids (TSS), turbidity, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), oil and grease to below the DW standards but failed to efficiently remove some heavy metals (HMs) and nutrient pollutants. The results revealed that the treated stormwater was an appropriate medium for microalgae cultivation.

The environmental burden of tannery wastewater, characterized by high levels of total dissolved solids (TDS) and other contaminants, presents a significant challenge for sustainable water management. This study addresses this issue by developing a novel polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composite membrane optimized for efficient TDS removal from tannery effluent. The membrane was fabricated using a solution casting technique, with glutaraldehyde employed as a crosslinking agent to enhance mechanical properties and stability.

Importance: Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty has emerged as an alternative to drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) as well as de novo coronary artery disease.
Observations: DCBs are balloons coated with antiproliferative agents and excipients, whose aim is to foster favorable vessel healing after appropriate lesion preparation. By providing homogeneous antiproliferative drug delivery in the absence of permanent foreign body implantation, DCBs offer multiple advantages over DES, including preservation of vessel anatomy and function and positive vessel remodeling.
