Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

Copper and zinc fractionation in biosolid cultivated with Pennisetum purpureum in different periods

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental
In order to reduce the effect of heavy metals on the biosolid, it is necessary to promote its phytoremediation. It is important to know the total content and chemical forms of these elements in the residue for analyzing its behavior and potential ...

Phosphorus release kinetics in a soil amended with biosolids and vermicompost [PDF]

, 2014
Wastewater biosolids are large potential sources of macronutrients for agriculture, conservation and restoration of soils; there are, however, few studies on phosphorus (P) release in soils amended with biosolids.

Comparison between pine bark and coconut husk sorption capacity of metals and nitrate when mixed with sewage sludge [PDF]

, 2008
Waste products such as biosolids and wood wastes have been frequently used in container production of plants. The use of biosolids in agriculture is a beneficial mean of recycling the by-products of waste-water treatment.

Ecotoxicological Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Butylparaben in Edaphic Organisms Using Multiple Biomarkers

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 176-189, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Butylparaben (BuP) recurrently contaminates soils worldwide, mainly by incorporating sewage sludge into cultivated areas, using wastewater in irrigation, and leaching contaminated soils. However, there are few studies on the ecotoxicological effects of this paraben on edaphic organisms.

Quantifying the environmental and economic impact of municipal biosolids use in dryland wheat in Washington state

Urban Agriculture &Regional Food Systems, Volume 11, Issue 1, 2026.
Abstract The use of recycled nutrients is critical to reduce the environmental impact of fertilization. It is an integral component of a circular nutrient economy. Here, we look at the impact of municipal biosolids in lieu of conventional fertilization for dryland wheat production in Washington state, evaluating data from a long‐term replicated field ...
