Progress on the Application of Polymers of Intrinsic Microporosity for the Adsorption of Organic Contaminants

open access: yesChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
The pictorial illustration of the applications of polymers of intrinsic microporosity extraordinary porous organic polymers with high surface areas, pore radii, pore volumes, high permeability, high diffusivity, high selectivity, and high thermal stability, as suitable filters or purifiers for water contaminated with pharmaceutical and organic dyes ...

Mechanical impacts of climbing on cliff vegetation: Contrasting management concepts

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Climbing a boulder for the first time often means entering a previously inaccessible ecosystem, many of which are inhabited by rare species. Little is known about the impacts of first ascents on cliff vegetation, especially with respect to different rock types.

A biodegradable polylactic acid–polybutylene adipate terephthalate–starch polymer blend for geotextile applications

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Biodegradable polymer blends are environmentally friendly materials with the ability to tailor material properties according to requirements. Abstract Geotextiles are typically used to stabilize steep earthen structures to prevent landslides. Usually, such geotextiles are made from petrol‐based polymers (such as polypropylene), but the use of ...

Azole antifungal contaminants disrupt mycorrhizal function and risk agricultural sustainability

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
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

A Situational Analysis and an Action Strategy for the Circular Economy in the Textile Industry

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the transition from the traditional Linear Economy to the Circular Economy model, focusing on the Spanish textile industry. Given the sector's significant environmental impact, characterized by pollution, excessive water consumption, high waste generation, and the use of harmful materials, circularity emerges as a crucial ...
