Adsorption characteristics of S-Metolachlor onto the sawdust biochar derived from < em > Acacia auriculiformis < /em >
J Environ Sci Health B. 2024 Mar 4:1-9. doi: 10.1080/03601234.2024.2322767. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe adsorption mechanism of S-Metolachlor in an aqueous solution by sawdust biochar derived from Acacia auriculiformis (SAB) was studied. SAB was manufactured at 500 °C for 4 h under oxygen-limited conditions and characterized for SEM, EDS, pHpzc, BET, and FTIR. The adsorption kinetics, isotherm, and diffusion studies of S-Metolachlor and SAB were further explored. Moreover, the effects of the solution pH were examined on the adsorption of S-Metolachlor by SAB. The BET analysis of SAB was achieved at 106.74 m2.g-1 and...

Ecotoxicological soil risk assessment under the new soil exposure framework - an impact assessment
J Environ Sci Health B. 2024 Feb 29:1-13. doi: 10.1080/03601234.2024.2319005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFor the European risk assessment (RA) for soil organisms exposed to plant protection products (PPPs) endpoints from ecotoxicological laboratory studies are compared with predicted environmental concentrations in soil (PECSOIL) at first tier. A safety margin must be met; otherwise, a higher tier RA is triggered (usually soil organism field studies). A new tiered exposure modeling guidance was published by EFSA to determine PECSOIL. This work investigates its potential impact on future soil RA. PECSOIL values for >5...

Herbicide contamination of Batak plain agricultural soils and risk assessment
J Environ Sci Health B. 2024 Feb 29:1-6. doi: 10.1080/03601234.2024.2322900. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHerbicide residue levels were analyzed in agricultural soils of Batak plain and health risk assessments were made for relevant pesticides. Herbicide contamination levels were analyzed with the use of Quick-Easy-Cheap-Efficient-Rugged-Safe (QuEChERS)-liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) procedure. Herbicide-free soil samples were spiked at two different levels. Overall recovery of the method was 87.32%. Present findings were parallel to SANTE recovery limits. About 50% of collected samples from the...

The exposure < em > in ovo < /em > to glyphosate on the integrity of intestinal epithelial tight junctions of chicks
In conclusion, the toxicity of pure glyphosate or Roundup® likely disrupts the small intestine of chicks by modulating the expression of genes associated with tight junctions in the small intestine.PMID:38400726 | DOI:10.1080/03601234.2024.2319006 (Source: Journal of Environmental Science and Health.

Enhanced photodegradation of oxytetracycline antibiotic in wastewater by implementing ZnO-loaded carbon fiber
This study synthesized a porous structure and a high-surface-area carbon fiber, incorporating zinc oxide (ZnO/CFB) for the effective removal of OCA in wastewater. The material characterization revealed exceptional optical and photochemical properties of ZnO/CFB, featuring a reduced band gap energy of 2.7 eV. ZnO/CFB exhibited robust performance in the photodegradation of OCA in wastewater, achieving an impressive removal efficiency of 86.7%. Remarkably, the reduction of total organic carbon (TOC) reached an outstanding 97.5%. LC-MS analysis confirmed the complete oxidation of OCA and its intermediates, transforming them in...
