This work investigates the formation of high‐alkali‐iron‐phosphate glass–ceramic waste forms made from the dechlorinated product of a phosphoric acid‐based process. The salt simulant is mixed with H3PO4 to form a slurry, heated, and then the dechlorinated product is vitrified with glass formers to obtain the final waste form. ABSTRACT The importance of

Azole antifungal contaminants disrupt mycorrhizal function and risk agricultural sustainability
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.

Humanity's uranium-238 inventory: A significant and enduring gamma-radiation liability
Uranium-238 (U-238), accounting for 99.3% of naturally occurring uranium, primarily utilized for nuclear energy production, is also used in civilian and military applications, leading to vast, geographically dispersed stocks across different byproduct ...

THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city's circulatory flows ...

How Plants May Maintain Protein Homeostasis Under Rising Atmospheric CO2
ABSTRACT Vascular plants may employ several physiological mechanisms to stabilize their protein contents as atmospheric CO2 concentrations change over a day, year, decade, or century. One mechanism is that plants may rely more on soil ammonium as their nitrogen source when CO2 increases.
