Article Abstract
The β-cyclodextrin polymer, synthesized using tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile (TFPN-β-CD), was employed for the adsorption of ten organic contaminants in water. Among them, methylene blue (MB), bisphenol A (BPA), tetracycline, and kaempferol exhibited superior adsorption efficiency and were selected for detailed investigation. Toth isotherm model appropriately described the adsorption process of TFPN-β-CD with MB, BPA, tetracycline and kaempferol compared with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The PSO model showed ideal fitting for the adsorption process of TFPN-β-CD to four organic contaminants in adsorption kinetics fitting. Weakly acidic aqueous solutions enhanced adsorption capacity, whereas inorganic salts caused erosion during the adsorption process. Dynamic factors such as loading capacity, pH, flow rate, renewability, and reusability were investigated using MB as an example. Higher loading capacity and flow rate favored improved adsorption efficiency; moreover, TFPN-β-CD could be easily regenerated and reused. Importantly, the respective mechanisms underlying TFPN-β-CD's adsorption were elucidated: electrostatic interactions exerted a stronger force than hydrophilic & hydrophobic interactions in the case of MB; however, hydrophilic & hydrophobic forces played significant roles in BPA, tetracycline, and kaempferol adsorptions.

Palytoxin-like compounds, including ovatoxins, are potent emerging toxins responsible for human respiratory poisonings following inhalation of contaminated marine aerosols. Periodic massive proliferations of the ovatoxin-producing organism (Ostreopsis cf. ovata) worldwide, particularly in the Mediterranean, have caused severe toxic outbreaks, drawing the attention of health authorities.

The rapid development of industry and agriculture has led to a significant increase in the toxicity and pollution of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in soil. Consequently, soil remediation employing biochar or modified biochar has emerged as a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable approach to address the issue of heavy metal (HM) ion pollution. PEI-functionalization biochar (PBC) derived from corn straw (PBCC), wood straw (PBCW), and rice straw (PBCR) was synthesized to immobilize Cd and Pb in contaminated acidic yellow soil.

Balancing socio-economic development with environmental quality in estuaries requires reliable tools for ecological assessment and informed management. Although various biological and (geo)chemical indices have been formulated to evaluate ecological quality status (EcoQS), transitional systems such as estuaries remain challenging to assess due to steep natural gradients and intense anthropogenic pressures, which can compromise the effectiveness of conventional indices. This study applied a practical, multi-criteria sediment assessment to evaluate benthic EcoQS in the Sado estuary, SW Portugal - a socio-ecological system strongly influenced by human activity.

The binding interactions between metal ions and dissolved organic matter (DOM) are ubiquitous in freshwater/marine aquatic environments where both coexist. Distinct from free metal ions or DOM, DOM-metal ions (DOM-Me) complexes have emerged as contaminants of emerging concern, primarily due to their altered physicochemical properties, modified migration and transformation patterns, enhanced environmental persistence, and changed ecotoxicity. However, based on the multi-source heterogeneity of DOM and the diversity of metal ions, systematic investigations into the interaction mechanisms and environmental implications of DOM-Me complexes in water environments remain scarce.
