The acidic etching process is necessary for the special BN-CNTs structure formation by exposing more Fe0 sites. The BN-CNTs/d-Fe is then evaluated for the electrochemically-assisted PMS activation to degrade phenol. Under cyclic voltammetry (CV, 0-1 V vs. RHE) assistant, 20 ppm phenol can be degraded in 30 min with a rate constant of 0.2837 min-1, ~78 times more than that without CV. Some Fe3+ species in the catalyst will be reduced at the initial stage, a two-step pseudo-first-order kinetic is thus used for the degradation curves fitting. Both the structure defects and doped nitrogen atoms are responsible for the high catalytic activity of BN-CNTs. According to the quenching tests, both radical and non-radical processes are present for PMS activation, thus obtaining enhanced organics removal efficiency. The electrochemically assistant could enhance the PMS adsorption on the electrode as well as electrons transfer between Fen+ and PMS, thus increasing the PMS activation efficiency. The utilization of earth-abundant Fe mesh for the fabricating free-standing electrodes provide a potential low-cost and effective strategy of waste water remediation.Urban road build-up solids contain toxic metals posing potential risks to human health. Management of human health risks arising from these metals is critical in urban areas. This study collected solids build-up data from 16 study sites with various land use and traffic characteristics. Source quantification was conducted using PCA/APCS receptor model. It was found that soil and asphalt wear are the larg
