TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of three MPs on enzyme activities and microbial community structure in one loamy and sandy soil revealed that the membranous PE and fibrous PP raised the alpha-diversities of the soil microbiota, whereas the diversity indexes of microbiota on MPs surfaces were significantly lower than those in the amended soils.

TL;DR: For the first time, the results elucidated that the photocatalytic disinfection mechanism of Pb-BiFeO3/rGO toward E. coli was mainly associated with oxidative stress due to HO• generation and the loss of membrane integrity from direct contact with the photoc atalyst.

TL;DR: Correlation analysis showed that antibiotics were not the exclusive selective pressure of ARGs; many environmental factors like dry matter contents on a mass basis, organic matter, total organic carbon, dissolvedorganic carbon, temperature, oxidation reduction potential and nitrite could affect the occurrence of ARG.

TL;DR: The novel polyvinylidene fluoride membrane fabricated through chemical binding SiO2 nanoparticles and copper ferrocyanide layers onto a membrane surface simultaneously can be applied as promising technology for radioactive wastewater treatment.

TL;DR: The diversity analysis of functional bacteria based on the bamA gene and microcosm experiments further demonstrated that nitrate was the primary electron acceptor for PAH biodegradation.
