Association of urinary heavy metal combined exposure with periodontitis among US adults from NHANES 2011–2014
Some heavy metals are associated with periodontitis; whereas most of these associations have focused on individual metal, there are no specific studies on the effects of combined heavy metal exposure on period...

Effect of gaseous pollutant and greenness exposure on mortality during treatment of newly treated tuberculosis patients: a provincial population-based cohort study
Previous studies addressing the impact of environmental factors on TB prognosis are scarce, with only some studies examining the effect of particulate pollutants on TB mortality. Moreover, few studies have eva...

Exploration on the role of different iron species in the remediation of As and Cd co-contamination by sewage sludge biochar
Numerous studies have explored the adsorption of cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) by iron (Fe)-modified biochar, but few studies have examined in-depth the similarities and differences in the adsorption behavior ...

Associations of exposures to air pollution and greenness with mortality in a newly treated tuberculosis cohort
Some previous studies had linked air pollutants and greenness to the risk of death from tuberculosis (TB). Only a few studies had examined the effect of particulate matter (PM2.5) on the mortality of TB, and few ...

Spatial distribution of heavy metals in rice grains and human health risk assessment in Hunan Province, China
Rice is the main food in China, and its pollution by heavy metals has attracted widespread attention. In this study, rice grain samples were collected from 14 prefecture-level cities in Hunan Province, China. ...

Short-term effect of sulfur dioxide (SO2) change on the risk of tuberculosis outpatient visits in 16 cities of Anhui Province, China: the first multi-city study to explore differences in occupational patients
A growing number of biological studies suggest that exogenous sulfur dioxide (SO2) at a certain concentration may promote human resistance to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, the results of most relevant stud...

Comprehensive analyses of initiation and failure mechanisms of the 2017 **nmo catastrophic rockslide
The failure of the 2017 **nmo catastrophic rockslide in Maoxian County, Sichuan, Southwest China was a combined effect of long-term and short-term triggering factors. Field investigation, historical data colle...

Tree mycorrhizal effect on litter-leached DOC amounts and biodegradation is highly dependent on leaf habits in subtropical forests of southern China
Litter-leached dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays an essential role in regulating biogeochemical cycles in forests. However, it is unclear how tree litter-leached DOC amounts and biodegradation vary with myc...

Simultaneous immobilization of As and Cd in a mining site soil using HDTMA-modified zeolite
Arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) co-contamination has been a typical problem in Chinese agricultural land adjacent to historical metal mining and smelting activities. Remediation of As and Cd in soil has encounte...

Evaluating the effects of transgenic Bt rice cultivation on soil stability
Insecticidal crystal (Cry) proteins produced by genetically modified rice that enter the soil via pollen dispersal, plant residues, and root exudation may disturb soil health. In the present study, we assessed th...

Chemical and microbiological responses of heavy metal contaminated sediment subject to washing using humic substances
Washing of contaminated soils or sediments using humic substances (HS) extracted either from source-rich materials or compost has been tested effective to remove various heavy metals. Nevertheless, the remaini...

Entrainment effects and the dynamical evolution of debris avalanche/flow on substrate materials
A pair of flumes with variable inclinations were employed to investigate the entrainment mechanics and dynamical evolution of a debris avalanche/flow. A fixed quantity of solid and water mixture was released f...

Large deformation and failure mechanism analyses of Tangba high slope with a high-intensity and complex excavation process
The Tangba high slope is mainly composed of coarse soils and supplies core wall materials for the construction of the Changheba dam. Since the filling intensity of the Changheba dam is high, the Tangba high sl...

A theoretical model for the estimation of maximum impact force from a rockfall based on contact theory
Rockfall poses a great threat to buildings and personal security. To understand the dynamic characteristics of rockfalls is a prerequisite for disaster prevention and assessment. Models for rockfalls in differ...

A case study of evaluating zeolite, CaCO3, and MnO2 for Cd-contaminated sediment reuse in soil
A simple disposal of metal-contaminated sediment on land can inevitably lead to increased soil concentrations of the elements, which consequently jeopardizes the soil environment for living organisms. In order...

Effects of a flexible net barrier on the dynamic behaviours and interception of debris flows in mountainous areas
Flexible net barriers are a new type of effective mitigation measure against debris flows in valleys and can affect the kinematic energy and mass of debris flows. Here, ten flume tests were performed to study ...

An estimation model for the fragmentation properties of brittle rock block due to the impacts against an obstruction
Mountain hazards with large masses of rock blocks in motion–such as rock falls, avalanches and landslides–threaten human lives and structures. Dynamic fragmentation is a common phenomenon during the movement p...
