Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the environmental impact of the B1 tailings dam break in Brumadinho, Brazil, which caused significant soil degradation through the loss of soil organic carbon (SOC).
- The analysis revealed that SOC levels in zones closer to the dam dropped dramatically from 2017 to 2023, highlighting the long-term consequences of the disaster on the soil quality in affected areas.
- Overall, the research emphasizes how tailings dam failures have widespread effects on local ecosystems, adversely affecting both directly impacted lands and surrounding watersheds.

Sugarcane is one of the main alternative sources of biomass for the biofuel sector, and its large-scale production has considerable environmental impact. Organomineral fertilizers formulated with potential environmental contaminants, such as filter cake and sewage sludge, positively influence plant growth and development. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the chemical and physical characteristics of sugarcane fertilized with pelletized organomineral fertilizers based on filter cake or sewage sludge.
