Earthworms can accelerate the removal of contaminants from soil. Earthworms change the
physical and chemical properties of soil by mixing it with organic material and through their …

Earthworms perform a number of essential functions in soil; the impacts of metals on
earthworms are often investigated. In this review we consider the range of earthworm …

Microplastics (MPs) in soils may be ingested by terrestrial animals. While the application of
bioplastics is increasing, the ingestion and excretion characteristics of bio-MPs by terrestrial …

Microplastic (MP) pollution is everywhere. In terrestrial environments, microfibres (MFs)
generated from textile laundering are believed to form a significant component of MPs …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and potentially toxic elements (PTEs) were
monitored over 56 days in calcareous contaminated-soil amended with either or both …

Although nano-sized zero-valent iron (nZVI) has been used for several years for remediation
of contaminated soils and aquifers, only a limited number of studies have investigated …

Earthworms are important components of the soil system, mainly because of their favorable
effects on soil structure and function (Paoletti 1999; Jongmans et al. 2003). Their burrowing …

Silver nanoparticles have been incorporated into a wide variety of consumer products,
ideally acting as antimicrobial agents. Silver exposure has long been known to cause toxic …

The future of this study was to prepare a natural pesticide which will not harm the
environment and yet control pests. Neem gum nano formulation (NGNF), a novel …

Earthworms are abundant and ecologically very important organisms in the soil ecosystem.
Impacts by pollutants on earthworm communities greatly influence the fertility of the …
