Long Term Persistence of Parathion in Soil [PDF]
Nature, 1971 PARATHION, an early organophosphorus insecticide introduced commercially in 1947, is, like most other compounds in this group, considered to be relatively non-persistent on plants and in soil. West1 reported its persistence to be 5–12 days on plants, and Lichtenstein2 showed that 97% of a soil application disappeared within three months.

Composted Sewage Sludge Influences the Microbiome and Persistence of Human Pathogens in Soil
Microorganisms, 2020 Composted sewage sludge (CSS) gained attention as a potential fertilizer in agriculture. Application of CSS increases soil microbial activity and microbial biomass, however, it can also lead to increased chemical and microbiological risks. In this study,

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.
