Occurrence and removal of antibiotic resistance genes in municipal wastewater and rural domestic sewage treatment systems in eastern China.
Hong Chen,Mingmei Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this study, four tetracycline resistance genes and two sulfonamide resistance genes were evaluated in 4 municipal wastewater and 8 rural domestic sewage treatment systems using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).
Journal ArticleDOI
Abundance and persistence of antibiotic resistance genes in livestock farms: a comprehensive investigation in eastern China.
TL;DR: This is the first comprehensive study to detail the relative abundance of specific ARGs in animal manures and agricultural wastewater treatment systems, potentially providing knowledge for managing antibiotic resistance emanating from agricultural activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global development of various emerged substrates utilized in constructed wetlands.
TL;DR: Re reuse of various waste products as substrates was suggested due to their competitive pollutant removal efficiency and minimized waste disposal and future research on avoiding substrate clogging to extend their lifetime in CWs is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of published wetland research, 1991-2008: ecological engineering and ecosystem restoration.
TL;DR: An effective bibliometric analysis based on the Science Citation Index (SCI) published by the Institute of Scientific Information (ISI) was carried out to identify wetland research between 1991 and 2008 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constructed wetlands for saline wastewater treatment: a review.
TL;DR: In this article, constructed wetlands have been successfully used for treating a wide variety of wastewaters, and are eco-friendly and cost effective, and provide a potential alternative technology for saline wastewater treatment.

Removal of nutrients in various types of constructed wetlands.
TL;DR: The processes that affect removal and retention of nitrogen during wastewater treatment in constructed wetlands (CWs) are manifold and include NH(3) volatilization, nitrification, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, plant and microbial uptake, mineralization, mineralification, nitrate reduction to ammonium, anaerobic ammonia oxidation, fragmentation, sorption, desorption, burial, and leaching.

Environmental Accounting: Emergy and Environmental Decision Making
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an EMERGY Evaluation Procedure and Evaluation Procedure for Energy Hierarchy and Energy Hierarchical Energy Hierology, which is based on EMERGE Algebra.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Organization, Transformity, and Information
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define the transformity (energy of one type required per unit of another) as an energy scaling factor for the hierarchies of the universe including information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do macrophytes play a role in constructed treatment wetlands
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized how macrophytes influence the treatment processes in wetlands and concluded that the most important functions of the macrophyte in relation to the treatment of wastewater are the physical effects the presence of the plants gives rise to.
