The present review, the first of a series of three, aims to describe recent developments in
solid-phase microextraction (SPME) technology in the fields of environmental analysis …

Remediation of soils contaminated by organic pollutants has become an urgent necessity
worldwide. A wide variety of techniques have been developed but many of them are …

Biochar produced from waste biomass is increasingly being recognized as a green, cost-
effective amendment for environmental remediation. This work was to determine the ability …

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

In this study, bamboo biochar (BBC) was proposed as a practical carbonaceous material for
the in situ remediation of organic pollutants. Column leaching experiments were used to …

We quantified the transport and transformation of Cd in historically contaminated soil (OS)
and artificially contaminated soil (NS), treated with 3%(w/w) rice straw biochar prepared at …

The knowledge on the distribution of hydrophobic organic contaminants in soils can provide
better understanding for their fate in the environment. In the present study, the n-butanol …

Natural diatomite was modified through facile acid treatment and ultrasonication, which
increased its electronegativity, and the pore volume and surface area achieved to 0.211 cm …

When synthetic, xenobiotic compounds such as agrochemicals and industrial chemicals are
utilized, they eventually reach the soil environment where they are subject to degradation …

Understanding the distribution, behaviour and interactions of complex chemical mixtures is
key for providing the evidence necessary to make informed decisions and implement robust …
