Dissipation kinetics of pesticides belonging to three chemical groups (linuron, diazinon and myclobutanil) was studied in an unamended agricultural soil and in this soil amended with three organic residues: sewage sludge (SS), grape marc (GM) and spent mushroom substrate (SMS). The soils were incubated with the residues outdoors for one and 12 months. Mineralized, extracted and non-extractable fractions were also studied for (14)C-linuron and (14)C-diazinon. The dissipation kinetics was fitted to single first-order or first-order multicompartment models. The dissipation rate (k) decreased in the order diazinon>linuron>myclobutanil, and DT50 values decreased for linuron (1.6-4.8 times) or increased for myclobutanil (1.7-2.6 times) and diazinon (1.8-2.3 times) in the amended soils relative to the unamended soil. The lowest DT50 values for the three pesticides were recorded in GM-amended soil, and the highest values in SMS-amended soil. After 12 months of soil incubation, DT50 values decreased in both the unamended and amended soils for linuron, but increased for the unamended and SMS-amended soil for diazinon and myclobutanil. A certain relationship was observed between the sorption of pesticides by the soils and DT50 values, although it was significant only for myclobutanil (p<0.05). Dissipation mechanism recorded the lowest mineralization of (14)C-pesticides in the GM-soil despite the highest dissipation rate in this soil. The extracted (14)C-residues decreased with incubation time, with increased formation of non-extractable residues, higher in amended soils relative to the unamended soil. Soil dehydrogenase activity was, in general, stimulated by the addition of the organic amendments and pesticides to the soil after one month and 12 months of incubation. The results obtained revealed that the simultaneous use of amendments and pesticides in soils requires a previous study in order to check the environmental specific persistence of these compounds and their effectiveness in amended soils.

The black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) is a highly valued resource insect, renowned for its efficient and eco-friendly approach to the treatment of organic waste. A crucial matter that demands clarification is whether the heavy metals are eliminated or remain within BSFL bodies. Our research focused on the toxicokinetic and the dynamic tissue changes of cadmium (Cd) in BSFL exposed to low (50 mg/kg), moderate (300 mg/kg), and high levels (700 mg/kg) of Cd stress, with the goal of offering a novel perspective on this matter.

With the continuous application of new agricultural chemicals in agricultural systems, it is imperative to study the environmental fate and potential transformation products (TPs) of these chemicals to better assess their ecological and health risks, as well as guide scientific application. The dissipation of fluchloraminopyr was firstly evaluated under aerobic/anaerobic condition in four representative soils, with Dissipation Time 50 (DT) values ranging from 0.107 to 4.

Herbicides are widely recognized as the most cost-effective solution for weed control, but their extensive use in both urban and agricultural settings raise serious concerns about nontarget effects. We assessed the possible hazards associated with pre-emergence herbicides such as dimethenamid-P, metazachlor, and pyroxasulfone, which are frequently applied in both urban and agricultural soils. The dissipation rate constant values (k day: 0.

To evaluate the effects of salinity on the fate of pesticides in a Mediterranean irrigated system, experiments were carried out under laboratory conditions to determine the adsorption, desorption, and mineralization of chlorpyrifos (CPF) and metalaxyl-M (MET) in a soil sample from an irrigated field in northern Tunisia. Adsorption/desorption isotherms and mineralization kinetics data were obtained over a realistic range of salinities via batch equilibrium and incubation techniques. On the basis of the experimental results, MET has a lower sorption capacity than CPF does, and the adsorption data for both compounds were better fitted by the Freundlich equation, with K values of 0.

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are recognized as significant contributors of paracetamol (APAP) into the environment due to their limited ability to degrade it. This study used a bioaugmentation strategy with Pseudomonas extremaustralis CSW01 and Stutzerimonas stutzeri CSW02 to achieve APAP biodegradation in solution in wide ranges of temperature (10-40 °C) and pH (5-9), reaching DT values < 1.5 h to degrade 500 mg L APAP.
