Article Synopsis
- Soil liners often need to be improved with mixtures when they lack the necessary properties for effective contamination control, with an emphasis on low hydraulic conductivity.
- Recent studies have started focusing on how well these liners can prevent the retention of potentially toxic metals, but there's a lack of research specifically on using amendments in soil liners for this purpose.
- A review of literature from 2012 to 2022 identifies 31 materials used as amendments, highlighting coal fly ash as the most common, while also pointing out significant research gaps such as the need for more pilot and field-scale studies.
A systematic review of the water treatment sludge toxicity to terrestrial and aquatic biota: state of the art and management challenges.

Safe drinking water' supply is an essential service and depends directly on the water treatment that produces water treatment sludge (WTS) as a product, whose final destination varies and remains a challenge. The ecotoxicity assessment of the WTS address the ecological implications of the WTS disposal but these information is still scarce in the literature. In this sense, we did a systematic review of the ecotoxicological studies on WTS using databases from six platforms.

However, these chemicals are associated with several environmental impacts, demanding urgent remediation techniques. Biochar is a carbonaceous material produced by pyrolysis that has the potential for pesticide sorption and remediation.
