The rapid increase of urban contaminated sites along China’s urbanization during the last 30 years

Machine learning coupled with causal inference to identify COVID-19 related chemicals that pose a high concern to drinking water

“…Furthermore, the highest value of the Youden index was achieved with a threshold value of 0.495. 41 Therefore, 0.495 was selected as the probabilistic decision cutoff. However, as a decrease in the cutoff value and the prioritization of recall rate would lead to an increase in false positives, the term “Potential PMT” was proposed to denote uncertain positive predictions.…”

Development of a Multifaceted Perspective for Systematic Analysis, Assessment, and Performance for Environmental Standards of Contaminated Sites

“…In the past decade, it has consistently issued many policy documents and significant planning proposals to address the prevention and control of contaminated sites (Figure ). These documents have established a comprehensive system of laws and regulations for soil and groundwater environmental management enhancing the legal framework for ecological environmental protection. , For example, it provided for the management of groundwater in terms of investigation and planning, conservation and protection, management of overexploitation, pollution prevention and control, and supervision and management (Regulations on Groundwater Management, 2021), and it has achieved certain results in the prevention and control of soil contamination with a sound system of policies and regulations for soil environmental protection (the Soil Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan, 2016; Administrative Measures for the Soil Environment of the Contaminated Land Parcel, 2016; and the Soil Pollution Prevention and Control Law of the People’s Republic of China, 2019). − …”
