Abstract Microplastics (< 5 mm) are ubiquitous contaminants of growing concern. These
have been found in multiple environmental compartments, including remote sites where …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is defined as the organic matter fraction in solution that
passes through a 0.45 μm filter. Although DOM is ubiquitous in terrestrial and aquatic …

Presence of plastic debris in marine and freshwater ecosystems is increasingly reported.
Previous research suggested plastic debris had a strong affiliation for many pollutants, such …

Adsorption, degradation, and movement are the key processes conditioning the behavior
and fate of pesticides in the soil. Six processes that can move pesticides are leaching …

Microplastics are one of the emerging contaminants that have received attention in recent
decades due to their adverse effects on human health and the environment. Though …

Exposure to arsenic-contaminated drinking water is a major threat to human health. Millions
of people across the world are exposed to arsenic-contaminated drinking water with …

Bioretention systems and biofilters are used in low impact development to passively treat
urban stormwater. However, these engineered natural systems are not efficient at removing …

Biochar, the solid residual remaining after the thermochemical transformation of biomass for
carbon sequestration, has been proposed to be used as a soil amendment, because of its …

Pharmaceutical compounds and dissolved organic matter (DOM) are co-introduced into the
environment by irrigation with reclaimed wastewater and/or application of biosolids. In this …

Pesticide distribution in the soil profile depends on soil and pesticide properties as well as
on the composition of irrigation water. Water containing surfactants, acids or solvents, may …
