TL;DR: An examination ofMSW generation and composition in China is presented, providing an overview of the current state of MSW management, an analysis of existing problems in MSW collection, separation, recycling and disposal, and some suggestions for improving MSW systems in the future.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of three higher aquatic plant types, Scirpus validus (bulrush), Phragmites communis (common reed) and Typha latifola (cattail), in the removal of nitrogen (via sequential nitrification-denitrification), BOD and TSS from primary municipal wastewaters.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the PPCP removal performance in different aquatic plant-based systems and reviews the recent progress made towards a better understanding of the various mechanisms and pathways of P PCP attenuation during such phytoremediation.

TL;DR: This review presents a comprehensive overview of the diverse range of practice, applications, and researches of CW systems for removing various contaminants from wastewater in developing countries, placing them in the overall context of the need for low-cost and sustainable wastewater treatment systems.

TL;DR: This study represents the first in the literature to investigate and affirm the toxicity of cigarette butts to fish, and will assist in assessing the potential ecological risks of cigaretteButt leachate to the aquatic environment.
