Unplanned water reuse for crop irrigation may pose a global health risk due to the entry of contaminants into food chain, undesirable effects on quality, and impact soil health. In this study, we evaluate derived from co-occurrence pharmaceuticals (Phs), trace metals (TMs), one metalloid within water-soil-plant continuum through bioassay experiments with Lactuca sativa L. Results indicate that Phs TMs has synergistic or antagonistic effects, depending target environmental compartments. Complex formations between drugs be responsible enhanced sorption onto several TMs. Concerning plant uptake, exerts carbamazepine diazepam, respectively. With exception Cd, exert an effect TMs, negatively affecting their uptake translocation. Drug contents in lettuce edible parts do not any threat human health, but Cd levels exceed maximum limits set leafy vegetable foodstuffs. Under Ph-TM conditions, biomass decreases, nutrient imbalance is observed. Soil enzyme activity stimulated under conditions (β-galactosidase) Ph (urease arylsulfatase), it affected (phosphatase).

The reuse of treated wastewater for irrigation can inadvertently introduce a suite emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals into agri-ecosystems. However, current monitoring efforts to characterise exposure usually focus on limited range analytes. A modelling framework was developed that employs sequence pre-developed models predict accumulative potential in model crop, Zea mays (corn), using chemical structure and excretion rate the only inputs. Z. selected crop it is major food source, stands one highest cultivated crops globally, characterised having medium uptake potential. used three regions characteristic high (Australia, US Middle East). Despite regional plant specific differences, 72.7 % calculated concentrations were within factor ten those reported literature. Topiramate, furosemide, gemfibrozil observed accumulate greatest extent mays, predicted ranged between 50.27 418.01 ng/g (dw) top 10. Acids predominantly accumulated leaves fruit whereas higher proportion bases roots. To best our knowledge 56.7 30 highest-ranked have not been previously documented existing literature or campaigns.

Introduction The use of treated municipal wastewater (TWW) represents a relevant opportunity for irrigation agricultural crops in semi-arid regions to counter the increasing water scarcity. Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) are often detected wastewater, posing risk humans and environment. PhACs can accumulate soils translocate into different plant tissues, reaching, some cases, edible organs entering food chain. Methods This study evaluated uptake translocation processes 10 by olive trees irrigated with TWW, investigating their accumulation organs. experiment was conducted southern Italy, 2-year-old plants three types water: freshwater (FW), TWW spiked at concentration 200 µg L −1 (1× TWW), triple dose (3× from July October 2021. soil assessed, collecting samples root, stem, shoot, leaf, fruit, kernel 0 (T0), 50 (T1), 107 (T2) days irrigation. extraction carried out using QuEChERS method, concentrations were determined high-resolution mass spectrometry coupled liquid chromatography. Results factors (UF) showed behavior between according physicochemical properties, highlighting (also part) 1× 3× compared FW. Two PhACs, carbamazepine fluconazole, interactions soil–plant system, translocating also aerial part plant, factor (TF) greater than 1, which indicates high root-to-leaf translocation. Discussion Findings highlight that only few among selected be uptaken woody accumulated parts low concentration. No effects exposure on growth have been detected. Despite attention paid organs, these results promising adapting crops. Increasing knowledge about important developing optimized management strategies reduce plants.

Abstract As plastics become more ubiquitous, their impact on the environment and human health cannot be overlooked. Once generated, micro‐ nano‐plastics end‐up in environment, causing widespread environmental risks. This is a significant problem given minuscule sizes of microplastics, therefore warrants further investigation. study presents comprehensive review ecotoxicology microplastics methods for degradation decomposition besides discussing fate transport processes, recent progress, emerging strategies, challenges potential future directions. The authors carefully evaluate processes through which cause harm, from molecular interactions species, to ecological impacts, end with advances microplastic biodegradation. Different kinds found include polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, polyurethane, polyethylene terephthalate. Analysis microbial enzymatic provides several swelling mitigation strategies designed reduce threats. In‐depth investigations ecotoxicity biodegradation are being facilitated by interdisciplinary proposals areas nanotechnology, new analytical methods, synthetic biology. extensive helps understand comprehensively in‐turn ensures informed actions mitigate challenge sustainable future.

The toxic alkaloid ricinine in castor cake organic fertilizers poses significant risks to groundwater and crop safety due its potential for downward transport plant uptake following land application. However, environmental behavior remains insufficiently studied. To address this gap, a modified QuEChERS-based method coupled with LC-QTOF/MS was developed validated, achieving recovery rates of 74.0-93.3 % detection limits 0.01-0.32 µg kg-1 cake, soils, lettuce. Soil pot experiments investigated the fate, transport, using two loam soils amended fertilizers. Pot leaching demonstrated ricinine's high mobility, either directly into water or converting metabolites like N-demethyl-ricinine before transport. Ricinine concentrations leachate, soil pore water, solid phases decreased over time, 5.1-40.6 initial remaining after 14 days. Pot-cultivation confirmed lettuce metabolite, accumulation increasing at higher application rates, reaching up 7.6 10.0 µg, respectively, shoots than roots. These results highlight contaminate agroecosystems, stressing need regulatory measures effective management strategies ensure food safety.
