Domestic sewage is an important source of surface water pollution in the rural areas of developing countries, especially in the rural areas of China. In recent years, with the strategy of rural revitalization, China has paid increasing attention to the treatment of rural domestic sewage. Therefore, 16 villages in the Chengdu Plain were selected for the study, and seven indicators were analyzed and evaluated, including pH, five-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen (NH-N), total phosphorus (TP), suspended solids (SS) and total nitrogen (TN), in the water samples at the inlet and outlet of the wastewater treatment plant. The concentration of each pollutant in the rural scattered domestic sewage of the Chengdu Plain in Southwest China was obtained, and the concentration of each pollutant in domestic sewage was higher than that in summer. In addition, the preferred process for removing each pollutant was obtained by studying the effects of the treatment process, season and hydraulic retention time on the removal efficiency of each pollutant. The research results provide valuable references for the planning and process selection of rural domestic sewage treatment.

Comprehensive evaluation of antibiotic pollution in a typical tributary of the Yellow River, China: Source-specific partitioning and fate analysis.

The partitioning and migrating of antibiotic residues pose a considerable pollution to the river environment. However, a source-specific approach for quantifying the fate of antibiotics is lacking. To further elucidate the migration behavior of antibiotics from different pollution sources in aquatic environments, we introduced a source-specific partition coefficient (S-Kp) based on Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) model to improve the multimedia model.

The selection of suitable raw materials as adsorbents is a key factor in effectively removing phosphorus from water. As an industrial by-product, soda residue exhibits high porosity and surface area, which can effectively adsorb pollutants. Magnetic lanthanum-iron soda residue (La-Fe-CSR) was synthesized using the co-precipitation method, and its characterization and mechanism for removing phosphate were thoroughly investigated.

The urbanization process has led to significant changes in the landscape, shifting the epidemiological profile of the visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazil. Dogs are considered the main urban reservoir of VL, whose infections precede cases in humans. In order to understand the socio-environmental determinants associated with canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL), we conducted a spatial analysis of CVL cases in northeastern Brazil from 2013 to 2015, georeferencing 3288 domiciled dogs.

114 Geological Brigade of Guizhou Geological and Mineral Exploration and Development Bureau, Zunyi, 563000, China; Karst Water Resources and Environment Academician Workstation of Guizhou Province, Zunyi 563000, China.

Sudden groundwater pollution in karst areas poses a serious threat to drinking water safety. Tracing contamination sources is crucial for managing and remediating groundwater pollution. Traditional tracing methods often lack accuracy, so this study combined multiple techniques to trace and quantify pollution sources near the municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill in Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, China.
