Currently, the research and application of biochar in the remediation of heavy metal
contaminated soil has become a hotspot, especially regarding the remediation of …

Microplastics are widely distributed in terrestrial environments and have been known to
adversely affect earthworms. Based on 65 publications, we summarized the effects of …

Global concerns towards potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are steadily increasing due to the
significant threats that PTEs pose to human health and environmental quality. This calls for …

In this study, we investigated the bioavailability and toxicity of metals (Cu and Ni) in the soil
containing polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs). The bioavailability of the metals …

Copper has been used in agriculture to control oomycetes, fungi and bacteria for over a
century. It plays important roles in integrated pest management, but is essential in organic …

With the increasing release of microplastics (MPs) and nanoparticles (NPs) into the
environment, there has been a growing concern about the co-occurrence of these emerging …

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 …

The importance of earthworms to ecosystem functioning has led to many studies on the
impacts of metals on earthworms. Far less attention has been paid to the impact that …

Silver nanoparticles (NPs) are an emerging contaminant of concern due to their increased
use. The earthworm Eisenia fetida was exposed to a range of concentrations of AgNO3 and …

Virgin microplastics (MPs) would undergo aging process when entering environment, the
adsorption capability of pollutants onto MPs may change during the aging process. To better …
