link:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2018.07.048Bisphenol A (BPA) is a high-production-volume chemical with a variety of applications. It has been widely detected in environmental matrices and organisms. BPA shows an endocrine disrupting effects and has received widely health concern. The group of environmental toxicology in Institute of Urban Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences is major in the toxicology of BPA. Cel...

link:https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00204-017-2141-4Ambient particulate matter (PM) can penetrate deeply into the respiratory system, which has been linked to the increasing incidence and mortality of lung cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classifed PM in outdoor air as a Group I carcinogen and confirmed that exposure to PM increased the risk of lung cancer, but the principal toxic components ...

Drinking water is normally transported to terminal consumption through pipe networks after being treated by waterworks. Despite various indicators meet the drinking water standards, the treated water may generate disinfection byproducts, soluble ...

Research progress in the Institute of Urban Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences on the antibiotic transport in the process of phosphate recovery from wastewater
Recovering phosphorus from the livestock wastewater and digestive sludge supernatant is one of the important means to alleviate the shortage of phosphorus resources globally. Among various phosphorus recovery methods, struvite (MgNH4PO4.6H2O) crystallization is popular and widely used due to its fast reaction rate, high recovery efficiency, and the recovered solids are regar...

Rare and Abundant Eukaryotic Plankton Respond to Cyanobacterial Blooms Differently
Plankton play a pivotal role in aquatic food webs, elements recycling and water purification. Most plankton are invisible to the naked eye and thus are largely uncharacterized. Eukaryotic plankton often present a skewed abundance distribution in a local community, with relatively few abundant species coexisting alongside a high number of rare species. However, relatively lit...

Institute of Urban Environment Achieved New Progress in Understanding the Impact of Reservoir Cyanobacterial Bloom on Antibiotic Resistome
In freshwater ecosystems, both antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and cyanobacterial blooms attract global public health concern. In particular, increasing anthropogenic activities under fast urbanization and climate warming are promoting the emergence, spread and accumulation of ARGs which may lead to the change or loss of ecosystem services. Aquatic ecosystems, such as res...
