AI-guided electro-decomposition of persistent organic pollutants: a long-awaited vision becoming reality?

AI-assisted design of high-entropy alloys for electro-degradation of POPs could greatly accelerate and improve the design–synthesis–test cycle, hence providing a practical strategy to solve the challenges we might face during mitigation of POPs.

Factors affecting real-world applications of HEPA purifiers in improving indoor air quality

Increasing air change rate can reduce the performance of air purifiers by acting as a source of outdoor PM into the indoors. Use of multiple air purifiers in a residence reduces PM at a greater rate than use of a single more powerful air purifier.

Decelerated degradation of a sulfonylurea herbicide in four fungicide-treated soils

The presented research illustrates the importance of assessing pesticide mixtures in the environment by showing that the aerobic degradation of a herbicide in four different soils was significantly retarded in the presence of fungicides.
