With the global food deficit increasing and rising climate change issues, there is a need to find green solutions improve soil fertility productivity while enhancing biochemical quality reducing ecological impact of agriculture. Biochar potentially cost-effective, carbonaceous resource with many agricultural environmental applications. As amendment, it improves physical properties increases productivity—particularly over long-term—increasing aggregation, water retention, pH, microbial activities, thus, improving overall quality, helping reduce chemical fertilizer needs time. The extent biochar’s on physiochemical varies depending biochar source, type, size, inherent characteristics, cropping system, etc. Moreover, has significant potential in remediation, especially through its unique adsorption capable capture immobilize pollutants such as metal(loid)s, organic pollutants, hazardous emerging contaminants microplastics. Further, also emerged key strategic, cost-effective material tackle issues mitigation, net greenhouse gas emission minimize warming potential. However, knowledge gap remains understanding long-term persistence agroecosystem, optimal application rate for diversity biochar-soil-crop-environmental conditions, interaction carbon stock, specific mechanisms effect biotic properties, quantification sequestration, emissions, synergy or antagonistic effects other sources compost, manure, residues, etc., modification applications associated human risks long-term. Further research needed evaluate impacts types sizes recommend suitable practices based management system. Also, be finetuned wider target pressing pollution.

Biochar for the Removal of Emerging Pollutants from Aquatic Systems: A Review

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 20(3), P. 1679 - 1679

Published: Jan. 17, 2023

Water contaminated with emerging pollutants has become a serious environmental issue globally. Biochar is porous and carbon-rich material produced from biomass pyrolysis the potential to be used as an integrated adsorptive material. Many studies have shown that biochar capable adsorb aquatic systems could solve water pollution problem. Here, we provided dual perspective on removing using analyzed pollutant removal efficiency aspects of types, types coexistence heavy metals, well associated mechanisms. The risks future research directions utilization are also presented. This review aims assist researchers interested in for remediation facilitate removal, thereby reducing their risk.

Sampling, separation, and characterization methodology for quantification of microplastic from the environment

Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14, P. 100416 - 100416

Published: Feb. 27, 2024

As millions of tonnes plastics wind up in the environment, plastic pollution is a severe issue that worsens with time. In addition to primary particles, large items are fragmented due ultraviolet radiation, degradation, and other environmental causes, resulting minuscule compounds, known as microplastics or nanoplastics. They adsorb hazardous contaminants easily get absorbed by organisms, for example, polychlorinated biphenyls, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metals adhered microplastic surfaces their tiny size surface area. Studies on toxicity fate crucial light these challenges, but effectiveness depends sampling procedure, sample preparation, characterization, analysis, quantification techniques. The standard methods characterization performed using Fourier transform infrared resonance, Raman Spectroscopy, pyrolysis Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry. Unfortunately, none techniques can achieve in-situ non-invasive characterization. These processes complex, non-uniform across studies, different specific domains such soil/sediment, water groundwater, biota, atmosphere. Thus, current study highlights methodology being used sampling, analysis from solid, aqueous, air, biota samples. This review paper also specifies tool concentration types Future studies should prioritize development standardized protocols ensure comparability diverse ecosystems. Additionally, employing advanced analytical collaborating interdisciplinary fields enhance accuracy reliability separation methods.
