Sewage sludge contains various classes of organic pollutants, limiting its land application. Sludge composting can effectively remove some organic pollutants. This review summarizesrecent researches on concentration changes and dissipation of different organic pollutants including persistent organic pollutants during sludge composting, and discusses their dissipation pathways and the current understanding on dissipation mechanism. Some organic pollutants like PAHs and phthalates were removed mainly through biodegradation or mineralization, and their dissipation percentages were higher than those of PCDD/Fs and PCBs. Nevertheless, some recalcitrant organic pollutants could be sequestrated in organic fractions of sludge mixtures, and their levels and ARG abundance even increased after sludge composting in some studies, posing potential risks for land application. This review demonstrated that microbial community and their corresponding degradation for organic pollutants were influenced by different pollutants, bulking agents, composting methods and processes. Further research perspectives on removing organic pollutants during sludge composting were highlighted.

The ultrahigh-sensitive detection of HS is reported using a novel dual-ligand metal-organic framework (MOF) electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor. By combining tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin (TCPP) and 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl) pyrene (TBAPy) as ligands and employing zirconium as the metal source, a spindle-shaped Zr-PyTCPPMOF was successfully designed and synthesized. Notably, the multiple nitrogen structures of porphyrin provided abundant binding sites for sulfur (S), further enhancing the ECL signal of Zr-PyTCPPMOF.

Rapid diagnostic tools for Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), the primary microorganism responsible for the development of periodontitis, particularly those designed for chair-side applications, could provide substantial health benefits to patients. To address this issue, we developed a CRISPR/Cas12a-based rapid Pg detection method. Dual-gRNA and hairpin reporter strategies were employed to enhance CRISPR/Cas12a reaction efficiency.

Tire wear particles (TWP) are emerging contaminants in the soil environment due to their widespread occurrence and potential threat to soil health. However, their impacts on soil biogeochemical processes remain unclear. Here, we investigated the effects of TWP at various doses and their leachate on soil respiration and denitrification using a robotized continuous-flow incubation system in upland soil.

The effects of plastic pollution on marine organisms is of growing concern. The hydrophobic surface of plastics adsorbs organic contaminants and can alter the rate of chemical uptake in fishes. Per-fluorinated organic chemicals such as Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are highly hydrophobic toxic chemicals that adsorb to hydrophobic surfaces.

In this work, a novel V-g-CN/BiVO (V-CN/BVO) Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was formed by introducing nitrogen vacancies (V) and constructing heterojunction, which is able to efficiently degrade the representative contaminant rhodamine B (RhB) upon exposure to visible-light, resulting in an outstanding degradation rate of 98.91% of RhB within 30 min. This photocatalyst exhibits catalytic universality and allows the degradation of methylene blue (MB, 97.
