Soils act as sinks for many organic contaminants, posing a threat to biodiversity and essential ecosystem services. In this study, we assessed the contamination status of Important Bird Biodiversity Areas (IBAs) in Spain. The study focused on 52 including organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), organophosphorus (OPPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), emerging such phthalates organophosphate esters (OPEs). from 140 Spanish IBAs were collected analysed by gas chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). Contaminant land use data each IBA was Hierarchical Clustering Principal Components (HCPC) determine geographic distribution hotspots, likely pollution sources.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution in soil is a pervasive environmental issue worldwide. Although biochar has the potential to immobilize PAHs soils, there remains study gap use of systematic analyses assess effectiveness for PAH removal and factors that affect biochar. Hence, meta-analysis utilizing 56 published studies was aimed impact on content, physicochemical properties, microbial diversity PAH-contaminated soils elucidate what capability alter persistence. With application, Ctot concentrations were significantly reduced (15.4%), while levels Cfree Cbioacc by 55.6% 46.5%, respectively. Additionally, improved properties increased microorganisms. Particularly, relative abundance degraders (43.7%), which indicated biodegradation enhanced. Soil production conditions are indispensable The overall findings revealed pyrolysis woody at 300-500 °C beneficial reducing persistence acidic, coarse, or fine high organic matter content (>20 g/kg) soils.

Methods Based on pseudo -total concentration Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs) measured plant samples using US EPA methodology, we assessed estimated daily intake (EDI), as well non-carcinogenic carcinogenic two exposure scenarios (recreational residential), varying degrees PTE contamination, i.e.: Cr (3+,6+) , Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb Zn. In recreational scenario, analyzed three pathways (accidental ingestion, dermal inhalation particles) for a child (0–6 years), an economically active adult (20–40 senior (40–60 years) retiree (60–70 years). residential additionally pathway associated lettuce leaves grown studied adult. With respect risk, calculated hazard quotient (HQ) values individual contaminants under each target (THQ) different pathways.

Abstract Dust serves as a primary source and reservoir for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in metropolitan areas worldwide. Therefore, this research investigated the pollution levels, origins, exposure threats linked with PAHs dust sampled from twenty vehicle parks Lagos, Nigeria -one of fastest growing African cities. Diverse PAH origins were identified positive matrix factorization (PMF) technique diagnostic ratios. Total concentrations ranged 4.81 µg/g to 8.48 µg/g. Four-ring PAHs, particularly Fluoranthene (Flan), most prevalent, ranging 0.26 1.33 Lagos parks. Benzo(k)fluoranthene road traffic sources, emerged leading among seven considered cancer-causing 0.31 0.99 The PMF model eight sources including biomass combustion, gasoline exhaust, coke oven emissions, lubricating oil burning, unburnt fossil fuel, diesel petrol fugitive dust. Applying probabilistic cancer risk model, average chosen was calculated 1.27 x 10 − 5 children 1.41 adults, falling within acceptable levels.

In this study, we assessed the contamination status of soils in 140 Important Bird Biodiversity Areas (IBAs) Spain. Fifty-two contaminants including organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), organophosphorus (OPPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), plasticizers or plastic related such phthalates, bisphenol A, nonylphenol, organophosphate esters (OPEs) were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS). The mean soil concentration ranged from 1.41 917 ng/g plasticizer PAHs detected at highest concentrations, while OCPs most frequently detected. Hierarchical clustering on principal components (HCPC) land use data associated PCBs with artificial land, phthalates industrial sites incineration plants burned areas, lesser extent agricultural activities.
