However, this practice exposes the agricultural environment to various contaminants of emerging concern. To better understand their fate in the soil and to effectively predict their bioavailability for plant uptake, there is a need to quantify their concentrations in soil solutions. In this study, we examined the concentrations of treated wastewater-derived ​contaminants of emerging concern in soil solutions under three scenarios: (1) shifting from irrigation with freshwater to treated wastewater (FW→TWW scenario), (2) long-term continuous irrigation with treated wastewater (TWW→TWW scenario), and (3) prolonged irrigation with treated wastewater followed by freshwater (TWW→FW scenario). Contaminants of emerging concern including carbamazepine, 1H-benzotriazole, lamotrigine, venlafaxine, and thiabendazole were ubiquitous in the treated wastewater (mean concentrations of 125, 945, 180, 3630, and 90 ​ng/L, respectively) and irrigated soils. Interestingly, their concentrations in the soil solutions were different (higher or lower) from the corresponding concentrations in the irrigation water. In both the freshwater to wastewater (FW→TWW) and treated wastewater to freshwater (TWW→FW) irrigation scenarios, lower contaminant concentrations were observed in soil solutions compared to the prolong treated wastewater irrigation scenario (TWW→TWW), indicating that a steady state condition was not achieved after a single irrigation season. For example, the concentrations of 1H-benzotriazole in Nir Oz soil solutions were 638, 310, and 1577 ​ng/L for the three irrigation scenarios, respectively. Moreover, the ​contaminants concentrations in soil solutions were slightly lower in the TWW→FW irrigation scenario compared to the TWW→TWW scenario. Our data suggest that rain-fed crops are also exposed to treated wastewater-derived contaminants of emerging concern released from the adsorbed phase into the soil solution. The readily-available contaminants concentration in soil solution depends on the physicochemical properties of the molecule, the water type used for irrigation and the irrigation history, the contaminant concentration in the irrigation water, and soil characteristics.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":94356,"journal":{"name":"Soil & Environmental Health","volume":"1 3","pages":"Article 100036"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49883956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the evaluation of biochar amendment effects and the underlying mechanisms on the physical, chemical, and biological indicators used for assessing the health of salt-affected soils is lacking. This review summarized biochar performance and mechanisms in improving the health of salt-affected soils. Biochar addition significantly improved soil physico-chemical properties by enhancing aggregate stability (15.0–34.9%), porosity (8.9%), and water retention capacity (7.8–18.2%), increasing cation exchange capacity (21.1%), soil organic carbon (63.1%), and nutrient availability (31.3–39.9%), as well as decreasing bulk density (6.0%) and alleviating salt stress (4.1–40.0%). Following biochar incorporation, soil biological health can also be improved, particularly enhancing microbial biomass (7.1–25.8%), facilitating enzyme activity (20.2–68.9%), and ultimately increasing plant growth. To properly assess the health of salt-affected soils, it is important to select indicators related to ecological service functions including plant production, water quality, climate change, and human health. This will improve the evaluation of soil multifunctionality and enhance current soil health assessment methods. Finally, limitations and future needs of biochar research and biochar-based technologies for soil health assessment in salt-affected soils are discussed.

However, greywater can contain a range of pathogenic bacteria that may compromise public health as well as substances with the potential to induce environmental consequences, such as soil hydrophobicity, accumulation of salts, and damage to plants. While the health issues are being addressed by greywater legislation, its environmental risks are largely ignored. Therefore, the main objective of the current study was to quantify the impacts of greywater irrigation on soils by developing a soil quality index (SQI) using a 14-month planter experiment. The sum of the absolute value of all indicator scores represents the final score of the integrated SQI, which ranges from 0 to 100. Three threshold values were used: &lt;30 represents deteriorated soil quality, 50–70 indicates intermediate quality, and &gt;70 represents optimal quality. The results based on the planter experiment revealed that, after 14 months, the SQI of all raw greywater-irrigated soils was lower than 70, indicating soil functions and plant health might be compromised. The use of scoring functions was a useful tool for quantifying and comparing the effects of greywater irrigation on different soil quality indicators. Integration of all indicator scores into a single SQI quantifies and summarizes the overall beneficial and detrimental effects of greywater irrigation. However, for better understanding and management decisions, SQI scores should be used and interpreted in conjunction with the scores of the single indicators constituting the index. In our experiment, treated ​greywater ​did ​not compromise ​soil quality even after 14 months of irrigation. As such, based on the fact that irrigation with raw greywater might compromise soil quality, treatinggreywater prior to its use is recommended.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":94356,"journal":{"name":"Soil & Environmental Health","volume":"1 3","pages":"Article 100034"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49883866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we discuss modeling approaches to define pesticide soil quality standards from two effect endpoints, which ensures consistency throughout the entire pesticide life cycle from application to human exposure assessment. Given that pesticides are applied in a pulse-like emission pattern and their soil concentrations change over time, both a ceiling legal limit and an average legal limit for pesticide soil quality standards should apply to the initial pesticide application practice and the potential human health effect. The timing intervals for pesticide application and the dissipation half-life in the soil can be used to quantify the relationship between the ceiling and average legal limits. By analyzing primary exposure pathways related to soil contamination, the average legal limit can be linked to theoretical human health risks, which requires a comprehensive evaluation for an adequate safety margin, including human interactions with soil, exposure assessment of soil pesticides, and allocation exposure assessment. To establish acceptable human health risks, the average legal limit can be determined, and the ceiling legal limit can be estimated based on the quantitative relationship between the ceiling and average legal limits. Additionally, we discuss situation-specific factors, including climate-pattern and behavior-pattern factors, to define pesticide soil quality standards to further complete the modeling framework. We hope insights presented in this paper will assist regulatory agencies worldwide in defining pesticide soil quality standards that meet their specific regulatory needs throughout the entire pesticide life cycle.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":94356,"journal":{"name":"Soil & Environmental Health","volume":"1 3","pages":"Article 100031"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49883955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concentrations of Cu, Ni, Cd, Pb, Hg and As were measured by ICP-MS in 146 soil samples collected from agricultural land. The pollution degree and ecological risks of HMs were analyzed by variety of indexes, and the human health risks were assessed using the USEPA model.

The contamination factors revealed moderate pollution of Hg, Pb, As, Cd and Cu in the investigated areas, and the pollution load index indicated considerable contamination. The Nemerow index revealed low to severe contamination with HMs. The potential ecological risk of HMs indicates that Hg and Cd pose a moderate risk threat to the soil ecology. Coal mining was the primary sources of soil HMs identified by ACPS-MLR. Soil As (75.1%) and Ni (62.3%) were mainly derived from coal mining, Pb (73.1%) was from traffic emissions, and Hg (38.6%) originated from coal combustion. The health risks associated with these HMs due to soil exposure were within the acceptable levels for adults. The As concentration imposes the strongest effect based on the non-carcinogenic risk analysis in different exposed populations.

Factors influencing the composition of MSW compost, including processing technologies as well as feedstock characteristics such as seasonality, source variation, and maturation regimes, are discussed. An analysis of advantages and disadvantages of MSW compost is presented. The benefits are considered from the perspective of interplays within carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycles, and emerging roles in pollutant remediation. Conversely, the potential risks such as the presence of toxic elements, microplastics, and persistent organic pollutants, and impacts on greenhouse gas emissions are also examined. The production of high-quality MSW compost is underpinned by the selection and screening of appropriate feedstock. However, there are increasing opportunities for production technologies, which improve physical, chemical, and biological traits of the composts to the point that they can also provide phyto-stimulant/protection services. However, there is little information on the use of MSW compost in forestry. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the global trends, composition factors, advantages and disadvantages, strategies for efficient use, and future perspectives of MSW compost utilisation.

Research on how to reduce Hg contamination in soil is still needed, mainly because of the difficulties in remediating Hg-contaminated soils while minimizing adverse effects on treated systems. We investigated the potential of a waste substrate, aluminum (Al)-based drinking water treatment residuals (Al-WTRs), as a low-cost sorbent for immobilizing the mobile fraction of Hg in contaminated soils using column leaching studies. Because of the known role of acidic deposition and dissolved organic matter on the environmental cycling of Hg, columns packed with Hg-contaminated alluvial soils collected from the watershed of Poplar Creek in Tennessee of USA were leached using either the synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP) to simulate the effects of acid rain or low pH dissolved organic carbon (DOC) rich river water (Suwannee River water, pH 4.20) to mimic soil flooding events with DOC-rich waters. The results show that, for soils with very high mobile Hg fractions, control columns without Al-WTR leached with the SPLP solution retained only 51% of total-Hg, which was significantly less (<em>p</em> ​&lt; ​0.05) than in the Al-WTR treated soil columns (up to 80%). Leaching with DOC-rich river water (53.3 ​mg ​C/L) decreased the sorption capacity of Al-WTR.
