The biocide triclosan as a potential developmental disruptor in Mytilus early larvae
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 20. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29854-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe broadly utilized biocide triclosan (TCS) is continuously discharged in water compartments worldwide, where it is detected at concentrations of ng-µg/L. Given its lipophilicity and bioaccumulation, TCS is considered potentially harmful to human and environmental health and also as a potential endocrine disruptor (ED) in different species. In aquatic organisms, TCS can induce a variety of effects: however, little information is available on its possible impact on invertebrate development. Early larval stages of the ma...

Study of microscopic properties and heavy metal solidification mechanism of electrolytic manganese residue-based cementitious materials
This study aimed to prepare cementitious materials containing abundant ettringite crystals by mixing EMR with various proportions of granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) and alkaline activators (CaO, Ca(OH)2, clinker, NaOH). The resulting cementitious material not only utilized a substantial amount of EMR but also exhibited comparable strength to ordinary Portland cement. The optimal ratios were determined through mechanical testing. Additionally, the leaching toxicity of cementitious materials was assessed using ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer) tests. The microscopic properties, hydration, and mechani...

An electrokinetic-biocementation study for clay stabilisation using carbonic anhydrase-producing bacteria
This study investigates the feasibility of biocementing clay soil underneath a railway embankment of the UK rail network via carbonic anhydrase (CA) biocementation, implementing the treatments electrokinetically. Compared to previous biocementation studies using the ureolytic route, the CA pathway is attractive as CA-producing bacteria can sequester CO2 to produce biocement. Clay soil samples were treated electrokinetically using biostimulation and bioaugmentation conditions to induce biocementation. The effects of the treatment were assessed in terms of undrained shear strength using the cone penetration test, moisture co...

A first assessment of microplastic contamination in the snow of Ankara, Turkey
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Sep 9. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29594-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicroplastics (MPs), affecting aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, have spread globally. The atmosphere is known as a pollutant acceptor and carrier among other ecosystems. However, the fate and amount of microplastics in the atmosphere have been the subject of less research. Therefore, it is quite important to study the amount and properties of microplastics in atmospheric fallout. The main purpose of this article is to discover microplastics in fresh snow samples collected in three different regions of Ankara and to ide...

Enhancing arsenic adsorptions by optimizing Fe-loaded biochar and preliminary application in paddy soil under different water management strategies
In this study, an optimized approach was attempted to improve As adsorption capabilities by combining pre- and post-pyrolysis modification of Fe(oxy)hydroxides to rice husk biochar (FRB), of which the method is rarely addressed in previous studies. Maghemite and goethite were successfully loaded onto biochar, characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) analyzer. The FRB had maximum As(III) and As(V) adsorption capabilities of 7908 and 11,268 mg/kg, respectively, which was significantly higher than that of Fe-modified biochar in the pre-pyrolysis a...

Strength performance of low-bearing-capacity clayey soils stabilized with ladle furnace slag
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Aug 30. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-29375-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn this paper, the performance of ladle furnace slag (LFS), a by-product of secondary steel refining, is evaluated as a binder to stabilize clayey soils of low bearing capacity. The aim is to define whether additions of this by-product to clayey soil can stabilize the soil in accordance with the technical specifications of Spanish standards. To do so, three different soils stabilized with 5% LFS were compared with the same soils stabilized with 2% lime and with no stabilization, in order to investigate their different be...
