JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 466:133635. [PMID: 38306838 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133635] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024]
Abstract
The antidiabetic drug metformin and antiepileptic drug lamotrigine are contaminants of emerging concern that have been detected in biowaste-derived amendments and in the environment, and their fate must be carefully studied. This work aimed to evaluate their sorption behaviour on soil upon digestate application. Experiments were conducted on soil and digestate-amended soil as a function of time to study kinetic processes, and at equilibrium also regarding the influence of trace metals (Pb, Ni, Cr, Co, Cu, Zn) at ratio pharmaceutical/metal 1/1, 1/10, and 1/100. Pharmaceutical desorption experiments were also conducted to assess their potential mobility to groundwater. Results revealed that digestate amendment increased metformin and lamotrigine adsorbed amounts by 210% and 240%, respectively, increasing organic matter content. Metformin adsorption kinetics were best described by Langmuir model and those of lamotrigine by Elovich and intraparticle diffusion models. Trace metals did not significantly affect the adsorption of metformin in amended soil while significantly decreased that of lamotrigine by 12-39%, with exception for Cu2+ that increased both pharmaceuticals adsorbed amounts by 5 - 8%. This study highlighted the influence of digestate amendment on pharmaceutical adsorption and fate in soil, which must be considered in the circular economy scenario of waste-to-resource.

Abstract
Constructed wetlands (CWs), including floating treatment wetlands (FTWs), possess great potential for treating excessive nutrients in surface waters, where, however, the ubiquitous presence of antibiotics, e.g., enrofloxacin (ENR), is threatening the performance of CWs. In developing a more efficient and resilient system, we explored the responses of the FTW to ENR, using tank 1, repeatedly exposed to ENR, and tank 2 as control. Plant growth and nutrient uptake were remarkably enhanced in tank 1, and similar phosphorus removal rates (86~89% of the total added P) were obtained for both tanks over the experimental period. Contrarily, ENR apparently inhibited N removal by tank 1 (35.1%), compared to 40.4% for tank 2. As ENR rapidly decreased by an average of 71.6% within a week after each addition, tank 1 took only 4 weeks to adapt and return to a similar state compared to that of tank 2. This might be because of the recovery of microbial communities, particularly denitrifying and antibiotic-resistance genes containing bacteria, such as Actinobacteria, Patescibacteria, Acidovorax and Pseudomonas. After three ENR exposures over six weeks, no significant differences in the nutrient removal and microbial communities were found between both tanks, suggesting the great resilience of the FTW to ENR.

Effects of decapitated and root-pruned Sedum alfredii on the characterization of dissolved organic matter and enzymatic activity in rhizosphere soil during Cd phytoremediation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 417:125977.

Abstract
Decapitation and root pruning, can impact plant morphological and physiological characteristics, which may determine the efficiency of phytoremediation. However, the effects of decapitated and root-pruned plants on the characterization of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and enzymatic activity, which determine the bioavailability of soil pollutants, have rarely been reported. This study aims to characterize DOM and enzymatic activity in the rhizosphere soil of Sedum alfredii when treated by decapitation and root pruning. Decapitation, slight pruning (10% root cutting), and their combination stimulated S. alfredii to secrete more DOM in the rhizosphere soil compared with the control. Furthermore, the proportions of hydrophilic increased from 42.7% in the control to 57.1% in the decapitation and slight pruning combination. Soil urease, invertase, and neutral phosphatase activities were higher in the rhizosphere soil of decapitated and root-pruned S. alfredii, and the highest values were observed with their combination. DOM from the soils of decapitated and root-pruned S. alfredii had significantly higher Cd extraction ability compared with that of the untreated species. Based on the findings of this study, we suggest that decapitation and root pruning can improve the phytoremediation efficiency of S. alfredii by increasing the bioavailability of Cd in its rhizosphere.

Dose effect of Zn and Cu in sludge-amended soils on vegetable uptake of trace elements, antibiotics, and antibiotic resistance genes: Human health implications.

Abstract
The application of sewage sludge to agricultural fields reduces the need for mineral fertilizers by increasing soil organic matter, but may also increase soil pollution. Previous studies indicate that zinc and copper, as the most abundant elements in sewage sludge, affect plant uptake of other contaminants. This paper aims to investigate and compare the effect of increasing amounts of Zn and Cu in sludge-amended soils on the accumulation of trace elements (TEs), antibiotics (ABs), and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in lettuce and radish. The vegetables were grown under controlled conditions, and the influence on plant physiology and human health were also evaluated. The results show that the addition of Zn and Cu significantly increased the concentration of TEs in the edible tissue of both vegetables. According to the hazard quotient (HQ) of the TEs, the human health risk increased 2 to 3 times and was 3-4 times greater in lettuce than in radish. In contrast to the TEs, the occurrence of ABs and most of the ARGs was higher in radish roots than lettuce leaves. ABs were not detected in lettuce leaves, and the amount of all ARGs except blaTEM was 10 times lower than in radish roots. On the other hand, the addition of Zn and Cu had no significant effect on the occurrence of ABs and ARGs in the edible part of the vegetables, and no damage was found to plant productivity or physiology. The results show that the consumption of lettuce and radish grown in sewage-sludge-amended soils under tested doses of Cu and Zn does not pose an adverse human health effect, as the total HQ value was always less than 1, and the presence of ABs and ARGs was not found to have any potential impact. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to estimate the long-term effect on human health of crops grown under frequent application of biosolids in arable soil.

CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 259:127436. [PMID: 32599387 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.127436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 147] [Impact Index Per Article: 36.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2019] [Revised: 06/08/2020] [Accepted: 06/14/2020] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Copper (Cu) is an essential metal for human, animals and plants, although it is also potentially toxic above supra-optimal levels. In plants, Cu is an essential cofactor of numerous metalloproteins and is involved in several biochemical and physiological processes. However, excess of Cu induces oxidative stress inside plants via enhanced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Owing to its dual nature (essential and a potential toxicity), this metal involves a complex network of uptake, sequestration and transport, essentiality, toxicity and detoxification inside the plants. Therefore, it is vital to monitor the biogeo-physiochemical behavior of Cu in soil-plant-human systems keeping in view its possible essential and toxic roles. This review critically highlights the latest understanding of (i) Cu adsorption/desorption in soil (ii) accumulation in plants, (iii) phytotoxicity, (iv) tolerance mechanisms inside plants and (v) health risk assessment. The Cu-mediated oxidative stress and resulting up-regulation of several enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants have been deliberated at molecular and cellular levels. Moreover, the role of various transporter proteins in Cu uptake and its proper transportation to target metalloproteins is critically discussed. The review also delineates Cu build-up in plant food and accompanying health disorders. Finally, this review proposes some future perspectives regarding Cu biochemistry inside plants. The review, to a large extent, presents a complete picture of the biogeo-physiochemical behavior of Cu in soil-plant-human systems supported with up-to-date 10 tables and 5 figures. It can be of great interest for post-graduate level students, scientists, industrialists, policymakers and regulatory authorities.

Toxic Effects of Single Antibiotics and Antibiotics in Combination on Germination and Growth of Sinapis alba L. PLANTS 2020; 9:plants9010107.

Abstract
Antibiotics enter agro-ecosystems via the application of farmyard manure, sewage sludge, animal by-products, or digestates. There are many open questions regarding the behavior of such compounds in the soil like their adsorption, degradation, half-life, and their effects on soil organisms and plants. The impact of antibiotics on the development of antibiotic resistance genes in the environment is regarded as the most important effect that endangers the environment as well as human health. Nevertheless, direct plant toxicity, especially of different antibiotics and heavy metals at the same time, can be of importance as well. In the current study, commercially available phytotoxkits were tested with regard to the toxicity of single antibiotics and antibiotics in combination with the root growth of Sinapis alba L. Additionally, a pot trial was conducted to study the transfer of the observed phytotoxkits results in more complex systems. The phytotoxkits revealed direct toxicity of antibiotics on root development only at high concentrations. The highest toxicity was determined for sulfadiazine, followed by tetracycline and enrofloxacin, showing the least toxicity. When two antibiotics were tested at the same time in the phytotoxkit, synergistic effects were detected. The pot trial indicated lower effect concentrations for enrofloxacin than determined in the phytotoxkit and, therefore, to higher toxicity on plant growth.
