Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) are widespread and developing environmental pollutants that can interact synergistically with organic pollutants (OPs) in terrestrial ecosystems, posing potential threats to the soil–plant ecosystem.

We study soils adsorbing multiple antibiotics simultaneously, emphasizing competitive interactions and mitigation using low-cost bio-absorbents, which was not previously performed.

An environmental forensics investigation of a former coal mining site in NE England. What is determining poor vegetative growth in some areas?

Using solid-state MAS NMR, PFOA was detected in murine liver, adipose tissue and the placenta.

This study shows that soil concentrations of PFAS around Lyon are higher near and downwind of the chemical industries producing and using PFAS.

A novel LC/MS approach combining suspect and target screening reveals emerging contaminant exposure patterns and health risks in college students.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent contaminants with global environmental and health implications.

Functionalized mesoporous silica is a multi-mode chemical passivation technology, offering a novel and integrated solution for complex agricultural issues in severely As and Cd contaminated soils.

Biosolids enhance uptake of Zn into broccoli parts (root, shoot and leaf) grown in soil–biosolid mixtures at application rates 25–100% (wt/wt biosolid), thus enhancing the translocation of Zn.

The (semi-) automation of microplastic analysis would dramatically accelerate the otherwise time-consuming and labor-intensive process, enabling more efficient identification of global microplastic distribution.
