Lake water concentrations of phosphorus (P) recently increased in some mountain areas due to elevated atmospheric input of P rich dust. We show that increasing P concentrations also occur during stable atmospheric P inputs in central European alpine lakes recovering from atmospheric acidification. The elevated P availability in the lakes results from (1) increasing terrestrial export of P accompanying elevated leaching of dissolved organic carbon and decreasing phosphate-adsorption ability of soils due to their increasing pH, and (2) decreasing in-lake P immobilization by aluminum (Al) hydroxide due to decreasing leaching of ionic Al from the recovering soils. The P availability in the recovering lakes is modified by the extent of soil acidification, soil composition, and proportion of till and meadow soils in the catchment. These mechanisms explain several conflicting observations of the acid rain effects on surface water P concentrations.

The evolution of energy structure and the push for carbon neutrality have triggered an urgent call for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, reclaiming end-of-life LIBs with high purity, high efficiency, and low environmental impact, particularly by eliminating chemical reagent usage and promoting a closed-loop carbon footprint, is challenging. Herein, we proposed a strategy that couples the carbon capture (CC) process with an electrochemically enhanced membrane distillation system (ECMD).

Background: Infections are a leading cause of death in patients with cancer, but the proportion and rate of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in hospitalized patients with cancer are not well understood.
Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional evaluation of AMR assessed hospitalized adult patients in 168 United States (US) healthcare facilities between April 2018 and December 2022. Nonduplicate, noncontaminant Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria recovered from various samples (blood, respiratory, urine, etc.

The contamination of seas, rivers, lakes, and groundwater by industrial, hospital, and domestic effluents is a global health problem. Scientific approaches are needed to assess and mitigate the impacts of those pollutants, seeking more sustainable alternatives that meet established environmental standards. Among the various contaminants that are released into water sources, phenobarbital (PHEN), a long-acting barbiturate, applied as a hypnotic, sedative, and in the treatment of seizures is an aquatic pollutant, raises significant concerns for human health and the environment.

Aqueous metals are pervasive contaminants associated with historical mining. We produced and examined 16 metagenomes from a contaminated creek to investigate how anthropogenic metal contamination shapes the functional profiles of microbial communities. We then incorporated the metagenomic profiles and concurrently collected geochemical context into a multivariate model to examine correlations between stream geochemistry and microbial functional potential.

Viruses are implicated to play key roles as biogeochemical mediators and ecological drivers in freshwater ecosystems. However, the dynamics of viruses and host associations throughout the seasons and during blooming periods in eutrophic freshwater ecosystems remain poorly understood. From the water microbiomes of planktonic biomass from Lake Taihu, a large eutrophic freshwater lake in China that experiences annual Microcystis-dominated harmful algal blooms (HABs), we recovered 41,997 unique viral clusters spanning a wide taxonomic range, including 15,139 Caudovirales clusters targeting bacteria and 1,044 NCLDV clusters targeting eukaryotes.
