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

open access: yesPLANTS, 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

Biosolids for soil, not soil for biosolids?

open access: yesSoil 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.

Die-off of pathogens and assessment of risks following biosolids application in pine plantations

open access: yes, 2010
In Western Australia over 80,000 tonnes per annum of biosolids are produced from the treatment of wastewater. The biosolids is being disposed in a variety of land-application processes as a soil amendment.

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

open access: yesPlant, 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.

Evaluation of Seasonal Dynamics of Soil Macro-Nutrients and Corn Nutrient Uptake in Fields Amended with Three Types of Municipal Biosolids

open access: yes, 2020
Field-based experiments are being conducted to examine the effect of three municipal biosolids (composted, liquid mesophilic anaerobically digested, and alkaline stabilized) on soil nutrient dynamics, applied over three years in Nova Scotia.
