Life‐Cycle Environmental Impacts of Removing and Destroying PFAS From Wastewater Effluent

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
A life‐cycle assessment (LCA) framework was used to estimate environmental impacts from retrofitting existing water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) to remove and destroy per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from wastewater effluent to support policy, permitting, and planning by regulatory agencies and utilities.

Remediation of Leachate-Metal-Contaminated Soil Using Selected Bacterial Consortia

Soil Systems
Approximately 95% of urban solid waste worldwide is disposed of in landfills. About 14 million metric tonnes of this municipal solid waste are disposed of in landfills every year in Malaysia, illustrating the importance of landfills. Landfill leachate is

Fecal Steroids as Tracers of Human Population and Waste Management Practices at the Ancient Maya City of Ucanal, Guatemala

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 646-658, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Geochemical data compiled from dried sediments from three water reservoirs at the ancient Maya city of Ucanal, Petén, Guatemala, reveal low to undetectable fecal biomarker concentrations. These low concentrations may be the result of the aerobic decay of sterols combined with well‐managed waste disposal practices.

Microplastic pollution from active and inactive landfill in Indonesia: Case study in Leuwigajah and Sarimukti Landfill [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
A landfill is the most common waste disposal in Indonesia, yet the implementation and operation of landfills are still far from optimal due to lack of funding and management failure. Moreover, landfill was operated as unmanaged open dumps. This situation

Micropollutants and the Restructuring of Microbial Resilience in the Anthropocene

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Conceptual framework linking anthropogenic chemical complexity to the restructuring of microbial resilience in the Anthropocene. Persistent, low‐dose chemical mixtures can reorganize microbial coordination networks, regulatory and metabolic processes, and ecological memory, thereby altering functional redundancy, adaptive capacity, and disturbance ...

A Global Review of Microplastic Contamination in Groundwater: Empirical Evidence and Latin American Perspectives

Water and Environment Journal, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 357-366, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The presence of microplastics (MPs) in groundwater has emerged as a significant concern due to their environmental impact and the threat they pose to vital water resources, groundwater being one of the most important freshwater sources in the world.

Nitrogen Converters in Various Landfill Leachates

Polish Journal of Environmental Studies, 2018
Nitrogen has significant adverse effects on the environment and leads to operational failure in biological treatment units. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate and implement new nitrogen conversion pathways in order to expand alternatives for in-situ/ex-situ leachate treatment systems.
