Azole antifungal contaminants disrupt mycorrhizal function and risk agricultural sustainability
PLANTS, 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.

Recovering nutrients from urine – A golden opportunity for sustainable fertiliser production
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Agricultural industrialisation has led to levels of nutrients in the environment that are well above safe operating limits, yet fertiliser use is necessary to feed a growing population. The recovery of nutrients from human urine in large, developed cities may offset some of the ecological and economic impacts associated with fertiliser production, as ...

Water Science and Technology, 2001 The need for the design engineer to have a sound basis for designing sludge pumping and pipelining plant is becoming more critical. This paper examines both a traditional text-book approach and one of the latest approaches from the literature, and compares them with experimental data. The pipelining problem can be divided into the following main areas;

PLANTS, 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

Multilayer Cellulose Acetate–Viscose Films for Bio‐Based, Bio‐Degradable Packaging Applications
Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.Cellulose acetate (CA) and cellulose foils stick together comprehensively after mild cellulose sodium hydroxide treatment and heated compression. For combined foils, water barrier properties correlate with CA thickness. Oxygen permeation suffers due to the sodium hydroxide pre‐treatment induced foil changes. The composite represents a biodegradable and
