Long Term Persistence of Parathion in Soil [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 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

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 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,

Pyrogenic Carbon Lacks Long-Term Persistence in Temperate Arable Soils

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2017
Pyrogenic organic carbon (PyOC) derived from incomplete burning of biomass is considered the most persistent fraction of soil organic carbon (SOC), being expected to remain in soil for centuries.

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

open access: yesAdvanced 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.
