Neonicotinoids have been the most commonly used insecticides since the early 1990s. Despite their efficacy in improving crop protection and management, these agrochemicals have gained recent attention for their negative impacts on non-target species such as honeybees and aquatic invertebrates. In recent years, neonicotinoids have been detected in rivers and streams across the world. Determining and predicting the exposure potential of neonicotinoids in surface water requires a thorough understanding of their fate and transport mechanisms. Therefore, our objective was to provide a comprehensive review of neonicotinoids with a focus on their fate and transport mechanisms to and within surface waters …

Cascade Transmission Evaluation Of Ecosystem Damage Caused By Dust Migration, Guangqiu Huang, He Tong, Qiuqin Lu
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: To solve the cascade transmission evaluation of ecosystem damage caused by dust migration in mining area, the migration network is constructed by dust migration path, and the potential hazard source path is identified. The definition of Petri-net simulation model of ecosystem damage with cascade propagation (PN-EDCP) is given, and the general method of abstracting migration paths network into a Petri net model is expounded. By introducing the concepts of attributes and methods of place objects into Petri net model, the real meaning of the model is clear, and the ability of describing and analyzing the logical relationship between ecosystem …
