Use of dredged sediments on agricultural soils from viewpoint of potentially toxic substances

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2011
A set of 29 pond sediments samples was collected. The sediments were separated into three groups, field, village, and forest pond sediments. The sediment samples were taken from pond bottoms and sediment heaps.

Efficient biodegradation of straw and persistent organic pollutants by a novel strategy using recombinant Trichoderma reesei

Bioresources and Bioprocessing, 2022
Efficient biodegradation of lignocellulosic biomass needs a battery of enzymes targeting cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. In this study, recombinant Trichoderma reesei ZJ-09 with Pycnoporus sanguineus laccase gene was used to degrade rice straw by ...

In Situ Miniaturised Solid Phase Extraction (m-SPE) for Organic Pollutants in Seawater Samples

Journal of Analytical Methods in Chemistry, 2018
Solid phase extraction (SPE) is a consolidated technique for determining pollutants in seawater samples. The current tendency is to miniaturise systems that extract and determine pollutants in the environment, reducing the use of organic solvents, while ...

The Plant‐to‐Plant Circular Strategy: Coupling Photodegradation and Phytoremediation With Plant‐Based Nanomaterials for Plastic Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant‐based nanomaterials derived from alfalfa serve as dual‐function catalysts, coupling photodegradation and phytoremediation to degrade polyethylene under UV‐A light and in soil. The nanomaterials work synergistically with alfalfa and soil microbes, achieving efficient plastic breakdown without trophic transfer.

Magnetic Water Cleaning of Estrogens via Tight yet Dynamic Binding to Nanoparticles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Micropollution is one of the big challenges humanity faces with estrogen hormones being emerging pollutants of concern. Here, a supramolecular design strategy is presented that generates a simple nano‐adsorbent material to magnetically remove low‐concentrated estrogens from water.

Identifying further chemicals of emerging arctic concern based on ‘in silico’ screening of chemical inventories

Emerging Contaminants, 2019
In the past 12 years several studies have screened lists of thousands of chemicals available in the industrial chemical inventories of the European Union, the USA and Canada with the goal of identifying and prioritizing chemicals which are persistent (P),
