Social aspects are an integral part of sustainable building alongside environmental and economic aspects. While current Green Building Rating Systems such as LEED, BREEAM, and SBToolCZ address primarily technically quant...

Mining wastes keep soil metal contents above toxicity thresholds many years after abandonment. The physical and chemical infertility of mining tailings makes them prone to high rates of erosion, posing an environmental t...

Abstract This study provides a comprehensive dataset (FAIRUrbTemp) that addresses the lack of high-resolution urban air temperature data across Europe. It compiles sub-hourly street-level air temperature data from 811 lo...

The increasing demand for sustainable materials in the textile industry has prompted the exploration of agrowaste fibers as alternative raw materials for circular production systems that convert waste into high-value pro...

Abstract Environmental hazards of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) and associated chemicals have been investigated for more than a decade. However, the field of human MNPs health risk assessment is still confronted by many...

The EU's Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability aims to incorporate environmental risk of combined exposure, stemming from unintentional chemical mixtures in the environment, into regulatory risk assessments. Within the E...

The article presents the results of a comprehensive study of strategic directions for improving the quality of life of the population in the Arctic territories of the Republic of Karelia. The relevance of the research is...

Many developing countries have experienced rapid industrial and urban expansion over the last two decades, raising concerns about ecological degradation. However, quantitative assessments linking urbanization and ecologi...

Sustainable infrastructure has emerged as a central pillar in addressing the complex challenges associated with rapid urbanization, population growth, and climate variability. Modern civil engineering practice increasing...

Abstract Wetlands are invaluable places with a distinct ecosystem that shares the features of both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Macroinvertebrates are vital components of wetland ecosystems. Therefore, this study ...

Water bodies are routinely exposed to a mixture of contaminants via various anthropogenic exposure mechanisms. Phytoremediation offers a low-cost nature-based solution to remove contaminants from polluted water bodies. T...

ARTICLE HIGLIGHTS - Combined saprobic index and plankton diversity assess Setu River pollution - Untreated batik wastewater affects river water quality and biodiversity - Eutrophic tolerant diatoms dominate polluted rive...

The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is a critical ecological security barrier for China, playing an indispensable role in ecosystem services (ESs). However, comprehensive assessments of the ecological barrier functions o...

Ecological security (ES) is a crucial indicator of regional ecosystem health and integrity, serving as a fundamental basis for formulating sustainable ecological management strategies, particularly in ecologically fragil...

Urban microclimate are localized climatic conditions within urban areas that are shaped by the buildings, population density, land cover, and vegetation, and that differ significantly from surrounding rural contexts. The...

In the ecologically fragile karst region of Hechi City, Guangxi, unique landforms and human activities have increased demand for multiple ecosystem services (ES), degrading ecological functions, weakening ecological netw...

Soil is a living, finite resource that shapes chemical fate, microbial ecology, nutrient supply, and climate regulation, yet environmental science and policy often treat it as an inert substrate. Approximately one-third ...

Abstract The process of industrialization of arid areas can rapidly surpass the pace of environmental monitoring, which leaves a gap in the knowledge of long-term processes of soil degradation. Although conventional moni...

Abstract The rapid adoption of AI is transforming industrial wastewater treatment by enabling real-time monitoring, predictive control, and operational optimization. Publications on the subject accelerated sharply betwee...

BackgroundRecent studies have disputed the association between bisphenol A (BPA) and endometriosis. This updated meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of BPA exposure on endometriosis.MethodsThis study ev...

Assessing ecosystem service values (ESV) and human activity intensity (HAI) is essential for ecosystem management and human well-being. Focusing on the southwest Guangxi Karst–Beibu Gulf (SWG–KBG), this study adopts ...

The asphalt industry faces growing challenges from stringent greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction mandates and diminishing high-quality virgin material reserves. This review paper positions upcycling as the engineered transfor...

Spatio-temporal evaluation of agricultural water use under both observed and future climate conditions is essential for identifying opportunities for water conservation and supporting sustainable farming practices. Howev...

Assessing the characteristics of groundwater variations in areas affected by artificial recharge is essential for guiding the groundwater resources management and groundwater ecology. However, it is still a challenging t...
