The effect of acidifiers on nitrogen transformation during manure wastewater storage remains unclear. In this study, we investigate the effects of two types of acidifiers on nitrogen transformation, bacterial structure, and functional genes during manure wastewater storage. The results indicate that the internal reactions in manure wastewater storage could be divided into three stages, i.e., nitrification (first 35 days), denitrification (mainly from days 36-84), and the final stage during which the internal environment of the manure wastewater stabilized. The addition of acidifiers effectively reduced nitrogen loss, with the total nitrogen content increasing from 12.8 to 25.83 %, and ammonia emissions decreasing from 31.67 to 43.81 %. The optimal nitrogen retention effect was observed for sulfuric acid. Furthermore, acidifiers primarily inhibited microbial activity and the abundance of functional genes, without altering the dominant bacterial community structure or nitrogen transformation pathways. These results provide a foundation for the use of acidifiers to reduce nitrogen loss during manure wastewater storage.

The widespread use of antibiotics in humans and animals raises significant environmental concerns. However, few approaches can simultaneously quantify their transfer from humans and animals and track their fate in soils and rivers. In this study, we developed the MARINA-Antibiotics model (Model to Assess River Inputs of pollutaNts to seAs for Antibiotics) to quantify the sources and concentrations of 30 widely used antibiotics, as well as assess their associated environmental risks, and implemented this model in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area in 2020.

Solid waste is an important source of pathogens. During the process of collection, transportation, and treatment, pathogens may spread through direct contact, aerosol transmission, leachate discharge, and waste-derived by-products, posing threats to human health and ecological environment. The types and abundance of pathogens vary across different waste types and treatment methods.

Pharmaceuticals have long been used to treat diseases in humans and animals and to control pests of plants/crops. However, with the identification of these contaminants in the environment, it is of major concern. While they have been documented either in soil or groundwater as separate entities, there are limited investigations on their sources.

Biochar has been widely employed in heavy metal wastewater treatment due to its well-developed porosity. However, current studies lack efficient and environmentally friendly modification methods, especially for systems involving coexisting heavy metals. In this study, modified biochar was prepared from chicken manure via KFeO modification, aiming to remove Cd(II)-Pb(II) compound polluted wastewater efficiently.
