Abstract: Pesticides are ubiquitous environmental pollutants negatively affecting ecosystem and human health 1,2 . About 3 Tg of pesticides are used annually in agriculture to protect crops 3 . How much of these pesticides remain on land and reach the aquifer or...
Mass spectrometry imaging for biosolids characterization to assess ecological or health risks before reuse.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Nature communications [Nat Commun] 2023 Jul 15; Vol. 14 (1), pp. 4244. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Jul 15.
Abstract: Biosolids are byproducts of wastewater treatment. With the increasing global population, the amounts of wastewater to be treated are expanding, along with the amounts of biosolids generated. The reuse of biosolids is now accepted for diversified applic...
Utility of an alternative method (to USEPA Method 1613) for analysis of priority persistent organic pollutants in soil from mixed industrial-suburban areas of Durban, South Africa.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Integrated environmental assessment and management [Integr Environ Assess Manag] 2023 May; Vol. 19 (3), pp. 749-762. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Sep 23.
Abstract: This study evaluates the adequacy of a USEPA Method 1613 alternative analytical method for analysis of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in soil from the immediate vicinity of industrialized areas in the eThekwini municipal area in South Africa. The...
Clarithromycin as soil and environmental pollutant: Adsorption-desorption processes and influence of pH.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Environmental research [Environ Res] 2023 Sep 15; Vol. 233, pp. 116520. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Jun 28.
Abstract: Antibiotics pollution is a growing environmental issue, as high amounts of these compounds are found in soil, water and sediments. This work studies the adsorption/desorption of the macrolide antibiotic clarithromycin (CLA) for 17 agricultural soils wi...
Effect of potentially toxic elements on soil multifunctionality at a lead smelting site.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of hazardous materials [J Hazard Mater] 2023 Jul 15; Vol. 454, pp. 131525. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Apr 29.
Abstract: Contaminated soil at smelting sites affects land utilization and environmental regulation, resulting in soil degradation. However, the extent to which potentially toxic elements (PTEs) contribute to site soil degradation and the relationship between so...
Surfactant-enhanced mobilization of persistent organic pollutants: Potential for soil and sediment remediation and unintended consequences.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of hazardous materials [J Hazard Mater] 2023 Feb 05; Vol. 443 (Pt A), pp. 130189. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Oct 13.
Abstract: This review aims to provide an overview of the sources and reactions of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and surfactants in soil and sediments, the surfactant-enhanced solubilisation of POPs, and the unintended consequences of surfactant-induced re...
Soil drying legacy does not affect phenanthrene fate in soil but modifies bacterial community response.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987) [Environ Pollut] 2023 Aug 15; Vol. 331 (Pt 1), pp. 121909. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 May 26.
Abstract: Alteration of the structure of soil microbial communities following the elimination of hydrophobic organic pollutants (e.g., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs) is generally assessed using DNA-based techniques, and soil is often required to dry pri...
