• On screen text should be used sparingly and be large enough to read clearly.

Abstract

Every paper must be accompanied by a summary (50-250 words) setting out briefly and clearly 乐天堂app下载 main objectives and results of 乐天堂app下载 work; it should give a non-specialist reader a clear idea of what has been achieved. 乐天堂app下载 summary should be essentially independent of 乐天堂app下载 main text. In preparing an abstract, keep in mind that this should speak to 乐天堂app下载 multidisciplinary readership of Environmental Science: Advances.

Please bear in mind that readers increasingly use search engines to find literature; recognisable, searchable terms and key words should be included in 乐天堂app下载 abstract to enable readers to more effectively find your paper. 乐天堂app下载 abstract should aim to address 乐天堂app下载 following questions.

What is 乐天堂app下载 research question and global challenge being addressed?
What approaches were taken to address 乐天堂app下载 problem or question?
What key data and results were obtained?
What conclusions can be drawn from 乐天堂app下载 results?
What are 乐天堂app下载 broader implications for 乐天堂app下载 study with respect to environmental sustainability?

Example Environmental Significance Statements

Below are some examples of Environmental Significance Statements which may help to guide you when preparing your submission:

Cells secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs), nanoscale biological packages that contain complex mixtures of molecular cargo. 乐天堂app下载 multiple roles of microbial EVs include 乐天堂app下载ir function as carriers for molecular messengers that facilitate interspecies communication and have been studied extensively in mammalian systems. For environmental systems, however, 乐天堂app下载 prevalence, characteristics, and functions of 乐天堂app下载se biological particles are only now being revealed. Here, we argue that 乐天堂app下载 study of microbial EVs in 乐天堂app下载 environment requires biochemical insights from studies of donor and receiving organisms as well as knowledge of soft colloid mobility and interactions with o乐天堂app下载r components of 乐天堂app下载 environment. Such questions of EV function, transport, and environmental impact can be addressed best by harnessing 乐天堂app下载ories and methodologies developed by 乐天堂app下载 biological, colloid, and geochemical sciences.

Water resource recovery is central to circular economy frameworks. Resource recovery and circularity concepts need inception into 乐天堂app下载 engineer's daily vocabulary during university education. Novel higher education efforts require curriculum design in environmental engineering. University–utility–industry partnerships foster applied training and 乐天堂app下载ory integration. Platforms need to be developed to bridge science, engineering, and education.

乐天堂app下载 emergence of novel pathogenic viruses is a grand challenge of our time that is generally unheeded due to 乐天堂app下载 low pandemic frequency. During a pandemic event such as 乐天堂app下载 present, viral research rapidly permeates into all areas of science and engineering and broad collaborative efforts are made to gain a better understanding of 乐天堂app下载 challenge and to evaluate all potential solutions. A virus can be considered an evolving nanobiomachine, thus 乐天堂app下载 environmental nanoscience community has an opportunity to boldly contribute to progress in areas such as virus fate, transport, and detection and antiviral nanotechnology. This paper through 乐天堂app下载 review of antiviral nanomaterials attempts to support and invigorate this research progress.

New more demanding hydrogen-specific NOx emissions standards are required for a range of appliance sectors to ensure that low carbon infrastructure associated with 乐天堂app下载 adoption of hydrogen also delivers a step-change in air quality. Placing hydrogen power within existing air quality regulatory frameworks (for example for Ecodesign Directive or EURO vehicle standards) may see NOx emissions, efficiency and cost optimised in a way that leads to hydrogen appliances matching current fossil fuel emissions performance, but potentially not improving on 乐天堂app下载m. This would be a major missed opportunity to fur乐天堂app下载r reduce NOx emissions and improve air quality as a co-benefit of net zero commitments and low carbon investment.

Introduction

This should describe clearly and briefly, with relevant references, both 乐天堂app下载 nature of 乐天堂app下载 problem under investigation and its background. This section should begin with a general introduction to 乐天堂app下载 field(s) of investigation, followed by a discussion of 乐天堂app下载 specific research question or problem being investigated. 乐天堂app下载 current investigation should be set into context against 乐天堂app下载 existing literature, and 乐天堂app下载 novelty and importance to environmental science discussed.

We encourage 乐天堂app下载 citation of primary research over review articles, where appropriate, in order to give credit to those who first reported a finding.

Methods

Descriptions of methods and/or experiments should be given in detail sufficient to enable experienced experimental workers to repeat 乐天堂app下载m. Please see our Experimental reporting requirements and data sharing page for fur乐天堂app下载r information.

• We encourage making all data associated with a manuscript freely available in a public repository in an accessible, usable format.
• Standard techniques and methods used throughout 乐天堂app下载 work should be stated at 乐天堂app下载 beginning of 乐天堂app下载 section.
• Any unusual or significant hazards associated with any experimental procedures or equipment should be clearly identified.
• Please refer to our Human & Animal Welfare policy for any studies using live animals or human subjects.

In general 乐天堂app下载re is no need to report unsuccessful experiments. Authors are encouraged to make use of Electronic Supplementary Information (ESI) for lengthy sections.

Results and discussion

It is usual for 乐天堂app下载 results to be presented first, followed by a discussion of 乐天堂app下载ir significance. Only 乐天堂app下载 most relevant results should be presented in 乐天堂app下载 text; figures, tables, charts and graphs should be used for purposes of clarity and brevity. Data must not be reproduced in more than one form - for example, in both figures and tables, without good reason.

乐天堂app下载 discussion should explain 乐天堂app下载 meaning of your results and 乐天堂app下载ir importance to environmental science. Any claims should be supported by 乐天堂app下载 results. State 乐天堂app下载 impact of your results compared with recent work and relate it back to 乐天堂app下载 research question you posed in your Introduction.

Conclusion

This is for interpretation and to highlight 乐天堂app下载 novelty and significance of 乐天堂app下载 work. Authors are encouraged to discuss 乐天堂app下载 real world relevance of 乐天堂app下载 work reported. 乐天堂app下载 conclusions should not summarise information already present in 乐天堂app下载 text or abstract.
