Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are organic chemicals that can persist in the
environment for a longer period due to their non-biodegradability. The pervasive and bio …

The wide existence of microplastics (MPs) in the terrestrial systems is proved by–many
studies, and their presence could potentially change the soil chem-physical properties and …

Uncultivable microorganisms account for over 99% of all species on earth, playing essential
roles in ecological processes such as carbon/nitrogen cycle and chemical mineralization …

Microplastics are ubiquitously present in the environment, accumulate in aquaculture water,
and cause toxicological effects on aquatic organisms. Besides, microplastics provide …

Cold seep sediments are an important reservoir of microplastics (MPs) whose impact on the
structure and function of prokaryotic community is not well understood. In this study, the …

The use of organochlorine pesticides, such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and
benzene hexachloride (BHC), have contributed substantially to the increase and stable …

Background: The bacterial destructing activity toward pesticides has been the focus of
research in the last few decades. Hexachlorobenzene is included in the organochlorine …

In this paper, we synthesized five different types of ZnCr layered double hydroxides with
different anions (F−, Cl−, Br−, I− and NO 3−). A thorough determination of the structure …

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a common residual persistent pesticide in paddy soil and has
resulted in harmful effect on soil ecosystem. The anaerobic microbial transformation of PCP …

Vertical flow constructed wetlands (VF CWs) are considered to be effective for treating
organic pollutants. The rhizosphere of macrophytes such as Phragmites sp., Typha sp …
