Fosthiazate is a widely used organophosphorus nematicide that resides in the soil and
controls soil root-knot nematodes. However, whether it has toxic effects on non-target soil …

Lithium is an emerging contaminant, but there is little knowledge about its influences on soil
microbial ecosystem. In this work, soils were treated with 10 to 1280 mg/kg lithium (Li10 to …

Lithium (Li) is an important resource that drives sustainable mobility and renewable energy.
Its demand is projected to continue to increase in the coming decades. However, the risk of …

Azoxystrobin (AZO) is widely used to prevent and treat fungal diseases in important crops
but can also impact non-target organisms, including mammals, amphibians, aquatic, and …

Although the ecotoxicity of carbon-based nanomaterials (CBNs) is known, the potential
effect of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) on edaphic organisms has been insufficiently explored …

The growing prevalence of lithium (Li) batteries has drawn public attention to Li as an
emerging pollutant. The present study investigates the toxicity of Li+ on Chromochloris …

Exposure to metals/metalloids is reported to potentially influence semen quality. While most
studies have focused on single metal impacts, the link between exposure to multiple metals …

Antimony (Sb) contamination in certain areas caused by activities such as antimony mining
and smelting poses significant risks to human health and ecosystems. In this study, a stable …
