Because there is no sufficient knowledge of the effect of plastics/microplastics on superworms and analysis of their degradation mechanism, it is timely to provide more evidences to demonstrate their capability, impact, degradation pathways, and remaining challenges.

Electro-Fenton (EF) processes are highlighted due to fast reaction kinetics, facile operating parameters, and low energy consumption. Nanomaterials with competitive surface area and catalytic activity, such as metal–organic frameworks (MOF), are being explored as catalysts to make the EF treatment process more effective. This paper reviews the recent trends in implementing iron-based MOFs in electrochemical Fenton-based technologies while highlighting needed improvements to further bolster their potential for industrial application.</p><h3>Recent Findings</h3><p>The majority of early research to design iron-based MOF catalysts has utilized MOF pyrolysis to design catalysts that outperform traditional iron catalysts in terms of stability and degradation efficiency. Research focus has now shifted to designing stable pure MOF catalyst material instead of MOF-derived catalysts for EF treatment, often by complementing iron with the addition of a second metal. Designing pure iron–based MOF catalysts that can be employed directly in suspension instead of embedded upon a cathode can simplify catalyst synthesis and application, bolstering their potential for industrial use. These new methods have demonstrated efficacy in both acidic and basic pH operating conditions while extending the life cycles of catalysts to achieve high removal of trace pharmaceuticals and organic dyes.

Over the decades, the abundant use of these synthetic chemicals has posed a significant threat to the environment and declined crop nutrient uptake efficiency (NUE). Nanocarriers can modulate nutrient release kinetics and extend their availability in the rhizosphere and phyllosphere, improving NUE and crop nutrition. Our review provides insights into the role of nano-fertilizers (NFs) in promoting sustainable agriculture, various macro- and micronutrient fertilizers and formulations and green synthesis methods. An extensive and systematic literature review was conducted, and the data under various sections has been identified using a computerized bibliographic search via the Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar and CAB abstracts, as well as several websites. Over the past decade, considerable research has been conducted employing the NFs for crop nutrition, development, doses and formulations, improving NUE, impacting crop stress resilience, improving economic viability and environmental sustainability and promoting safety. Use of NFs over conventional fertilizers has yielded a positive and significant impact, encompassing all crop production scenarios. NFs provided sustained nourishment to crops throughout the development phases, from germination to harvest, while minimizing the runoff and leachate losses and improving soil properties. Several advancements in the NFs production utilizing green synthesis methods involving microbes and plant materials are developed to reduce pollution, environmental hazards and global warming. Conventional fertilizers possess major constraints like dynamic chemical forms, which are more challenging for plants to absorb and do not provide sustained release of nutrients. NFs are the best alternatives to increase nutrient uptake, crop yield and soil productivity. However, the synthesis approaches involve high-energy and aggressive chemical reagents. The green synthesis of NFs remains the sustainable, eco-friendly, economically viable, reliable and energy-efficient approach which uses microbial and plant extracts. However, the future potential of NFs in promoting sustainability relies on toxicology research that reveals their limitations, offering a thorough understanding of safe crop nutrition with NFs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":528,"journal":{"name":"Current Pollution Reports","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40726-024-00331-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142411063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding PFAS leaching is crucial for assessing risks associated with leaving impacted material in place, reuse, or disposal. However, there is limited guidance on laboratory methods to measure extent and rate of leaching. This review aims to identify the best methods for assessing PFAS leaching that are reflective of relevant release scenarios.</p><h3>Recent Findings</h3><p>Various methods have been applied to assess PFAS leaching from contaminated materials. The most common are batch leaching methods that simulate particular conditions (e.g. rainfall, landfill), with the intention of providing conservative estimates (worst-case scenarios) of cumulative PFAS release over time. Columns, static leaching, and rainfall simulators are also used to simulate less aggressive field-like conditions. While less common, pan and suction lysimeters have been used to measure PFAS leaching in situ. Most methods use saturated conditions that do not account for the possible influence of air–water interface accumulation and wetting–drying cycles on leaching. A notable gap is the scarcity of data benchmarking laboratory-leached concentrations with real-world PFAS concentrations.
