Potato leaves near a war zone captured airborne forever chemicals that soil tests missed, revealing recent hidden pollution.
Filtration systems are designed to capture multiple harmful substances from water or air simultaneously, but pollutants in soil can only be tackled individually or a few at a time—at least for now. A ...
The persistent contamination of terrestrial ecosystems with heavy metals, hydrocarbons, pesticides and emerging pollutants ...
Farmers often grow so-called cover plants between main crops. They are used for purposes such as for animal feeds or remain on the field as green manure. In this way, they supply the soil with ...
In a study published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A, Nagoya University researchers demonstrated that native soil bacteria, when treated with decoy molecules, can degrade non-native compounds, ...
Microplastic pollution in agricultural soils is an emerging threat to food safety and ecosystem health, yet detecting these tiny particles at low concentrations remains a major challenge. A new study ...
Federal agencies are removing topsoil from burned areas but will not test it for contaminants. So scientists and residents are testing fire-affected properties themselves. By Livia Albeck-Ripka and ...
Nearly 18 months after MPCB directed action on Shivaji Park's dust pollution, BMC is considering soil suppression and ...
A rapid, high-heat electrothermal soil remediation process flushes out both organic pollutants and heavy metals in seconds without damaging soil fertility. Filtration systems are designed to capture ...
