Recent Advances on Application of Modified Biochar for the Removal of Pharmaceutical Compounds from Wastewater

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
Modified biochar is an effective adsorbent for removing pharmaceutical contaminants from water. Physical and chemical modifications enhance its surface area, porosity, and functionality, enabling multiple adsorption mechanisms. These synergistic interactions improve removal efficiency.

Update of the risk assessment on dioxins and dioxin‐like PCBs in feed and food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2018 risk assessment on polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin‐like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL‐PCBs) in feed and food, based on the 2022 WHO Toxic Equivalency Factors (WHO2022‐TEFs).

Effect of chloride in soil solution on the plant availability of biosolid-borne cadmium

, 2004
Copyright © 2004 ASA, CSSA, SSSAIncreasing chloride (Cl) concentration in soil solution has been shown to increase cadmium (Cd) concentration in soil solution and Cd uptake by plants, when grown in phosphate fertilizer– or biosolid-amended soils. However,

Azole antifungal contaminants disrupt mycorrhizal function and risk agricultural sustainability

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 952-964, May 2026.
Global food production is increasingly threatened by soil degradation, climate change and the rising costs of synthetic fertilisers. Circular agriculture, which promotes resource reuse, is a promising solution, but using treated wastewater and biosolids in farming introduces risks from emerging contaminants like pharmaceutical residues.

An integrated social and natural sciences case study for the reuse of organic wastes as soil amendments

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 965-982, May 2026.
Reusing organic waste materials, such as animal manure, as soil amendments reduces water and fertiliser demand, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, organic wastes may contain contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), posing potential ecosystem and human health risks. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack

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

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 792-810, May 2026.
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

Adsorption characteristics of benzene on biosolid adsorbent

, 2003
This study selected biosolids from a petrochemical wastewater treatment plant as the raw material. The sludge was immersed in 0 to 5 mol l-1 of ZnCl2 solutions and pyrolyzed at different temperatures.

Biosolids for soil, not soil for biosolids?

Soil Research
Biosolids are derived from wastewater treatment process. Globally, the volume of biosolids produced is increasing exponentially. Biosolids can be considered as a renewable resource. In agriculture, biosolids can be used as a carbon and nutrient source to improve soil health and agricultural productivity.
