Traditional biowaste treatment methods, such as landfilling and incineration, cannot meet the need to deal with gigantic amounts of waste and reduce environmental harm. This review critically evaluates existing sustainable waste management strategies highlighting their role in transitioning to a \"reuse and recovery\" paradigm. Sustainable waste management refers to conserving resources and protecting human health, society, and the environment. In this context, this review examines the current advancements and potential trends in using widely available biowaste in novel applications to produce key biofuels (such as biogas and biodiesel) and resources such as corrosion inhibitors, asbestos-free brake pads, nutrient-rich functional foods, bio-cement, bio-based fertilizer, and biodegradable plastic. Among these, biowaste-to-energy conversion (e.g., biogas production) and biodegradable plastic synthesis emerge as particularly impactful strategies due to their scalability and potential to address both waste reduction and resource recovery goals. The strategic utilization of biowaste resources into novel products holds significant promise in mitigating sustainability problems, offering renewable alternatives that are biodegradable and free of harmful additives.</p>","PeriodicalId":15732,"journal":{"name":"Journal of environmental quality","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143066096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wetland habitats, including floodplain forests and marshes, can be effective nitrogen sinks; however, little is known about the effects of chronic point source nutrient enrichment on sediment nitrogen removal in tidally influenced coastal systems. This study characterizes enrichment patterns in two tidal systems affected by wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) effluent and assesses the impact on habitat nitrogen removal via denitrification. We collected intact sediment cores from prevalent habitats in a tidal freshwater river (TFZ; swamp forest) and a tidal estuarine creek system (EST; salt marsh) upstream and downstream of a WWTF outfall, and quantified dissolved gas fluxes across the sediment-water interface during wet conditions in early summer and dry conditions in late summer. Data collected during two synoptic water quality monitoring campaigns complimented laboratory experiments to provide environmental context for biogeochemical processing. The two systems exhibited different enrichment patterns such that the river-dominated TFZ system was characterized by consistently elevated nitrate + nitrite concentrations downstream of the WWTF, whereas precipitation and tidal influence affected nutrient distributions in the EST creek. Downstream sediments in TFZ exhibit an apparent saturation response, while upstream rates may be limited by other factors, such as labile organic matter availability. In contrast, downstream sediments in EST denitrify at higher rates than upstream during wet conditions that may enhance transport of effluent. This work provides information on ecosystem functioning in human-influenced environments and can be of use in developing nature-based solutions, such as water treatment wetlands, for nitrogen removal.</p>","PeriodicalId":15732,"journal":{"name":"Journal of environmental quality","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142971026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Discharge and water quality vary widely across the ECB and are paramount to developing innovative management strategies that balance crop production goals with environmental targets. Discharge is generally greater from subsurface tile drainage compared to surface runoff. Phosphorus concentrations are typically greater in the surface runoff compared to tile drainage, while nitrogen concentrations are greater in subsurface tile drainage.

While there has been substantial research on the effects of coal, mica, copper (Cu), and manganese (Mn) mining on soil quality, the impact of bauxite mining operations on nearby soils has largely been overlooked in the literature. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how microbial activity and dynamics are influenced by soil stressors, such as acidity and heavy metals, in areas adjacent to active bauxite mines. Soil samples were collected from three adjacent locations of an active bauxite mine area at distances of <100 m (S1), 100-500 m (S2), and >500 m (S3). The samples contained chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and cadmium (Cd), as well as elevated acidity and aluminum (Al). These conditions adversely affected the soil microbial indicators, including fluorescein diacetate (FDA), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), and enzyme activity. The highest concentrations of labile metals (i.e., water-soluble and exchangeable) were found in soil mixed with mining waste (S1), whereas acidity and Al were highest in sparsely vegetated soil (S3). Total acidity, total potential acidity, pH-dependent acidity, and Al were significantly positively correlated. Moreover, the significant positive correlation among organic carbon (OC), acidity, Al, and microbial properties (FDA, MBC, and microbial enzymes) suggests a potential effect of OC in mitigating acidity in S3. The ratios of microbial properties with OC depicted a significant negative correlation with acidity and Al fraction, denoting that acidity and Al posed a deleterious effect on soil microbial health. The similarity percentage analysis identified acid phosphatase as the key enzyme accounting for ∼78% of the observed differences in enzyme composition across the sites. Visual MINTEQ modeling revealed that the sites were saturated with different Al-bearing minerals.

By measuring the stable isotope signatures (δ<sup>13</sup>C, δ<sup>15</sup>N) of particulate organic matter sampled from a range of southeastern North Carolina waters, the predominant sources to the observed Org-N loadings were elucidated. Isotope data from across the Cape Fear River watershed indicated a large gradient of livestock waste-N contributions, with hog waste-N contributions consistently higher in the Northeast Cape Fear River watershed and with fertilizer-N contributions higher in the Black River watershed-findings that are consistent with each sub-basin's land usage. %N sediment content was positively correlated with hog waste-N contributions in the Black River watershed, indicating that sediments in CAFO-dense regions are reservoirs for agricultural nutrient pollution. Hog waste-N source contributions and %N sample contents for Black River sediments were strongly correlated with regional swine and poultry CAFO densities, establishing a strong connection between industrial animal production and stream sediment nutrient loads.
