Harnessing Activated Sludge for the Treatment of Hydrothermal Liquefaction Wastewater: A Proof‐of‐Concept Study

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 2, February 2026.
Activated sludge cultivation for sewage sludge HTL wastewater treatment was optimized using high temperature incubation, nutrient supplementation, high dilution factor, and overliming pretreatment. Up to 91.2% sCOD removal was achieved, with kinetics analysis confirming enhanced degradation rates under treatment optimization.

Evaluating Antibiotic Resistance in Urban Rivers and Coral Reefs of Belize: Evidence for Hotspots and a Potential Screening Tool

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Antibiotic resistance is a significant threat to global public health and can disproportionately affect low‐ and middle‐ income countries (LMICs). There is a lack of studies focusing on antibiotic resistance in coral reef regions and environmental reservoirs in Central America.

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 ...

THE CONTESTED URBANISM OF ABANDONMENT: The Afterlife of Two Distressed Neighborhoods in Detroit

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 5-23, January 2026.
Abstract In post‐industrial cities in decline, what happens to leftover spaces after abandonment? This question lies at the root of trying to make sense of entrenched distress in neighborhoods in deindustrializing Detroit, a city struggling for more than five decades with disinvestment, job losses, population shrinkage, a collapsed housing market ...

Influence of Surface Biosolids Application on Infiltration

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2012
Biosolids from waste water treatment facilities applied to soils not only add plant nutrients, but also increase infiltration and decrease runoff and erosion.

Biosolids affect the growth, nitrogen accumulation and nitrogen leaching of barley

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2018
Biosolids are organic fertilisers derived from treated and stabilised sewage sludge that increase soil fertility and supply nitrogen to crops over a long period, but can also increase the risk of nitrogen (N) leaching.

Assessing the Genotoxic Effects of Emerging Organic Contaminants in Water Systems: Current Trends and Future Directions

Scientifica, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) represent a growing concern for global water security due to their persistence, bioactivity, and potential to induce genotoxic effects in aquatic organisms and humans. This review critically examines the current state of genotoxicity assessment for EOCs by integrating established testing frameworks with advanced ...

Do fields with elevated soil test phosphorus disproportionately contribute to Western Lake Erie Basin dissolved phosphorus loading?

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 10, Issue 2, December 2025.
The relationship between soil test phosphorus (STP) concentrations and annual dissolved phosphorus (DRP) loads at the edge‐of‐field were upscaled to the Western Lake Erie Basin (WLEB). Results revealed that elevated STP fields disproportionately contribute to WLEB DRP loads but are not the dominant source leading to harmful and nuisance algal blooms ...
