Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of pyrolysis temperature on production and nutrient properties of wastewater sludge biochar.
TL;DR: Investigation of the influence of pyrolysis temperature on production of wastewater sludge biochar and the properties required for agronomic applications found biochar produced at low temperature was acidic whereas at high temperature it was alkaline in nature.

Influence of pyrolysis temperature on properties and environmental safety of heavy metals in biochars derived from municipal sewage sludge
Junwei Jin,Yanan Li,Jianyun Zhang,Shengchun Wu,Yucheng Cao,Peng Liang,Jin Zhang,Jin Zhang,Ming Hung Wong,Minyan Wang,Shengdao Shan,Peter Christie +11 more
TL;DR: It was found that most of the heavy metals existed in the oxizable and residual forms after pyrolysis, resulting in a significant reduction in their bioavailability, leading to a very low environmental risk of the biochar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavior of microplastics and plastic film residues in the soil environment: A critical review
TL;DR: The distribution and migration of microplastics in soils is summarized, the separation, extraction, and identification methods for monitoring microplastic in soils are highlighted, and the ecological effects and pollution mechanisms of soil micropl Plastic pollution are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field accumulation risks of heavy metals in soil and vegetable crop irrigated with sewage water in western region of Saudi Arabia
TL;DR: The results indicated a potential pathway of human exposure to slow poisoning by heavy metals due to the indirect utilization of vegetables grown on heavy metal-contaminated soil that was irrigated by contaminated water sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics accumulate on pores in seed capsule and delay germination and root growth of the terrestrial vascular plant Lepidium sativum.
TL;DR: This is the first detailed study on the effect of nano- and microplastics on a vascular, terrestrial plant, and the results indicate short-term and transient adverse effects.

Toxic metal accumulation from agricultural use of sludge: are USEPA regulations protective?
TL;DR: In this article, the USEPA regulations for the use of sewage sludges will permit concentrations of particular toxic metals to increase locally on agricultural land by a factor of a hundred or more above present soil concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical Composition of Sewage Sludges and Analysis of Their Potential Use as Fertilizers
TL;DR: In this article, the binding energy of the Zn 2P/sub 3/2/ electron in sludge was found to be 3.5 +- 0.1 on the Pauling scale.

The behaviour of heavy metals in sewage sludge-amended soils.
B. J. Alloway,Andrew P. Jackson +1 more
TL;DR: The consequences of the application of sewage sludges to agricultural soils, with regard to the long-term bioavailability and movement of metals in soil profiles, are incompletely understood.
