The simultaneous detection and removal of Ag from drinking water was crucial for preventing human health, while it was also extremely challenging due to bifunctional materials that combine both Ag adsorption and detection functions rarely being explored. In this study, a benzotrithiophene-based covalent organic framework (TAPA-BTT) was synthesized and applied to detect and remove Ag. TAPA-BTT exhibited high crystallinity, a large specific surface area, and good thermal stability. As a fluorescent probe, TAPA-BTT had a low detection limit (0.14 μg/L), wide linear range (0.2-700 μg/L), and good linearity (R > 0.9948). It was also successfully applied to identify Ag in drinking water including tap, pure, and mineral water with satisfactory detection performance. Moreover, TAPA-BTT had a high efficiency in removing Ag from water, offering a high capacity for adsorption (344.83 mg/g) and a removal rate of 99.45 %. The adsorption of TAPA-BTT towards Ag can be well explained by the quasi-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model. In addition, experimental and theoretical studies revealed the interaction mechanism between TAPA-BTT and Ag. The specific Ag detection by TAPA-BTT was assumed to be caused by the electron transfer from thiophene-S to Ag, which enhanced the fluorescence of TAPA-BTT. The effective removal of Ag was attributed to the co-chelation of imine-N and thiophene-S on TAPA-BTT. These novel findings revealed the great potential of benzotrithiophene-based COFs in the detection and removal of Ag, providing a new strategy and alternative material for monitoring and controlling Ag in drinking water.

Solar water evaporation (SWE) has emerged as an appealing method for water and salt recovery from hypersaline wastewater. However, different ions usually transfer and accumulate uncontrollably during ion-water separation, making salt fractionalization impractical for conventional SWE, and the resulting mixed salts are hard to use and still require significant costs for disposal. To achieve salt fractionalization and reutilization, achieving ion-water and ion-ion separation simultaneously are crucial in advancing SWE toward sustainability.

Wastewater receives per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from diverse consumer and industrial sources, and discharges are known to be a concern for drinking water quality. The PFAS family includes thousands of potential chemical structures containing organofluorine moieties. Exposures to a few well-studied PFAS, mainly perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAA), have been associated with increased risk of many adverse health outcomes, prompting federal drinking water regulations for six compounds in 2024.

In this study, residue depletion and withdrawal time estimation of tilmicosin were examined in Taihe black-bone silky fowls (TBSFs) after oral administration for three consecutive days at a dose of 75 mg/L in water. The tilmicosin concentrations in liver, kidney, muscle, and skin/fat of TBSFs collected from different time points (0.16, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 20, 30, 40 days after last administration) were determined by UPLC-MS/MS.

Importance: Previous meta-analyses suggest that fluoride exposure is adversely associated with children's IQ scores. An individual's total fluoride exposure comes primarily from fluoride in drinking water, food, and beverages.
Objective: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of epidemiological studies investigating children's IQ scores and prenatal or postnatal fluoride exposure.
