Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied how copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) from organic waste fertilizers affect soil over time.
- They found that when organic waste is used a lot for a long time, Cu and Zn build up in the top layer of soil.
- The way Cu and Zn change and combine in the soil is different, with some forms staying longer than others, like crystallized Cu and various forms of Zn breaking down more quickly.
Incidental zinc sulfide nanoparticles (nano-ZnS) are spread on soils through organic waste (OW) recycling. Here we performed soil incubations with synthetic nano-ZnS (3 nm crystallite size), representative of the form found in OW. We used an original set of techniques to reveal the fate of nano-ZnS in two soils with different properties.

- The Isotrace CNRS workgroup and the National Research Council of Canada have identified new trace elements and isotopic ratios in AQUA-1 drinking water that were not previously certified.
- They analyzed SLRS-6 river water for quality control and comparison with AQUA-1, as both were sampled from the same area but treated differently.
- The study provides mass fractions for multiple elements and isotopic ratios for strontium and lead, using ICP-MS techniques, with data categorized as consensus or indicative based on availability and uncertainty.
