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.

The Fate of Orally Ingested Microplastics During Cooperative Brood Care in Two Social Hymenoptera Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Microplastics (MP) pose a growing health risk to social Hymenoptera, with colony‐level risks depending on brood care strategies. During cooperative brood care, in the buff‐tailed bumblebee, MP is transferred from workers to larvae, but in the Japanese carpenter ant, the infrabuccal pocket prevents such transfer.

Evaluation of Non-Conventional Biological and Molecular Parameters as Potential Indicators of Quality and Functionality of Urban Biosolids Used as Organic Amendments of Agricultural Soils

Applied Sciences, 2020
Biosolids are waste from wastewater treatment and have a high content of organic matter and nutrients. In this study, not conventional physicochemical and biological properties of biosolids produced during different seasons of the year were evaluated ...

Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles for Food Applications: From Synthesis and Functional Properties to Safety and Sustainability

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
Green and conventional synthesis routes produce ZnO nanoparticles with tunable physicochemical properties for food applications, ZnO‐NPs enhance antimicrobial activity, UV protection, and food preservation through ROS generation and ZN2+ release. However, particle dissolution, migration, cytotoxicity, and environmental concerns highlight the need for ...

Dryland Winter Wheat Yield, Grain Protein, and Soil Nitrogen Responses to Fertilizer and Biosolids Applications

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2011
Applications of biosolids were compared to inorganic nitrogen (N) fertilizer for two years at three locations in eastern Washington State, USA, with diverse rainfall and soft white, hard red, and hard white winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars ...

Surface water quality impacts from organic versus conventional agricultural systems

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Agriculture is integrally intertwined with water, yet we have little information about how the different approaches to growing food influence water quality. Food production through different strategies is driven by economic and environmental concerns. Organic agriculture has increased for several decades and is projected to continue.

Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances in land‐applied biosolids: Accumulation in soils, crop uptake, and potential dietary risk

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Applying biosolids as a soil amendment for crop production is a common practice, raising concerns about the introduction of per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) into soils and crops at application sites. We investigated the impact of biosolids application on PFAS concentrations in agricultural soils and crops at three different farms ...
