The golden apple snail (GAS, ) has invaded mangrove forests. The effect of water contaminated by metabolic activity of GAS feeding on (T1), (T2), and without food (CK) on the native mangrove black helmet snail (BHS, ) was investigated under salinity conditions. The GAS deteriorated saline water quality (2.5‱). DO contents in T1 and T2 approached zero at 9 d. Compared to CK, the contents of COD, total N, NH, NO, and total P of the contaminated water in T1 increased by 297%, 205%, 262%, 210%, and 518% after 9 d, while these indicators in T2 increased by 74%, 31%, 57%, 326%, and 154%, respectively. The LC of the contaminated water in T1 against the BHS reached 22.72%. The weight of the BHS exposed to the 100% contaminated water in T1 and T2 significantly decreased after exposure. The content of GPT of the BHS exposed to the 100%-contaminated water in T1 and T2 increased by 55% and 26%, while the MDA content increased by 38% and 34%. The 100%-contaminated water in T1 led to cell degeneration and incomplete structure in the hepatopancreas tissue of the BHS. The GAS feeding on holly mangroves can compete against native mangrove snails through water deterioration.

Background: Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent organic pollutant with significant risks to ecosystems and human health. Magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) provide a promising solution for selectively extracting PFOS from contaminated water. However, while bifunctional monomer imprinting improves the imprinting effect by introducing diverse functional groups, it can also increase non-specific adsorption.

Foam materials hold great promise in construction and packaging applications. However, the non-biodegradability and poor thermal stability of petroleum-based foams present serious environmental and safety concerns. It is crucial to develop sustainable, eco-friendly foam fabrication methods that balance environmental responsibility with high performance.

Traditionally unsustainable and nondegradable fossil-based based plastics have resulted in serious environment pollution problem. Renewable and biodegradable lignocellulose biomass is a promising raw martial for developing environmentally friendly plastic alternatives. However, lignocellulose biomass itself is non-thermoplastic crosslinking networks consisting of cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose, resulting in a huge challenge to thermoform its into plastic alternatives.

Sawdust is a by-product of wood processing and it was rapidly humified with KSO under alkaline-thermal synergistic activation to produce a fulvic-like-acid (FLA) organic fertilizer (SFOF) in this study. The optimum conditions were KSO: KOH mass ratio of 1:2 and 150℃, meanwhile FLA yield could reach 180.3 mg/g in 2 h.
