Abstract The standard fireball shock model is successful at explaining the overall features of afterglows of some bursts, but it cannot fit the observed data quantificationally. Some post-standard effects (e.g., environment, energy injection, and high-energy radiation) have been studied to fit well the observed data. This paper reviews these important effects and cosmological use of GRBs.
