RISMEAU dataset: Pharmaceuticals and biocides concentrations in urban and agricultural sludge, amended soil and leachate and their environmental impacts.

The RISMEAU project ( - Risks related to residues of pharmaceuticals and biocides, and antimicrobial resistance of human and veterinary origin on the water resources of the 2083 km Arve catchment located in the French Alps) was implanted from 2018 to 2024 on the SIPIBEL observatory. It was devoted to the evaluation of (i) transfers of and processes related to pharmaceutical residues and biocides from both urban sludge and manure spread on fields as fertilisers, and (ii) the environmental impacts of land spreading, in particular the ecotoxicological risks and antimicrobial resistance dissemination. The methodology was based on the physico-chemical, ecotoxicological and antimicrobial resistance (AMR - assessed by molecular biology) characterisation of leachate and soil matrices samples, and focused on organic waste products application at locally representative agronomic rates.

The dynamics of fishing villages along the South Atlantic Coast of North America (ca. 5000-3000 years BP).

We present new chronologies that inform the timing and tempo of shell ring and shell mound construction on the South Atlantic Bight. Our project combines recently acquired dates with legacy radiocarbon dates from over 25 rings and mounds to provide a higher-resolution chronology regarding the occupation and formation of this larger landscape of the earliest fishing villages along the East Coast of the United States. We resolve the ordering and timing of occupation of these rings and mounds through Bayesian statistical modeling.

From the importance of organic carbon in reproduction tests with Eisenia fetida.

The standard Eisenia fetida chronic toxicity reproduction test is normalized and needs up to 8 weeks of experimentation. Many matrixes have shown toxic effects on the earthworms' survey, growth and reproduction. But the food factor may affect the organisms' responses to contaminated media in such tests.

Assessing the chronic toxicity of spreading organic amendments on agricultural soil: Tests on earthworms and plants.

Recycling organic wastes on agricultural soils improves the soil quality, but the environmental and health impact of these organic amendments closely depends on their origins, their bio-physicochemical characteristics and the considered organisms potentially affected. The aim of this study was to assess the potential chronic ecotoxicity of spreading organic amendments on agricultural soils. To do this, we characterized three different organic amendments: sewage sludge from an urban wastewater treatment plant, cow manure and liquid dairy manure.

Building a Functioning Multi-sector Coalition: A Case Study from the Jerome Avenue Public Health Taskforce.

As a result of the Jerome Avenue Corridor re-zoning in Bronx, New York, the Jerome Avenue Public Health Task-force was convened by local elected officials in December 2018. Facilitated by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the taskforce consists of a core group of 15 committed organizations from local civic, government, healthcare, and social service agencies, as well as neighborhood residents. Striving to address common challenges faced by diverse partners, the taskforce implemented intentional strategies to enable transparent communication and tackle power dynamics.
