Summary: This study investigated the influence of five surfactants on the sorption-desorption, degradation, and mobility of fungicides in soils. The results showed that HDTMA increased fungicide sorption, while SDS and TX-100 decreased sorption. SDS also promoted fungicide degradation, especially in non-volcanic soil, while TX-100 enhanced the degradation of OH-CTL in all soils.

Summary: Pesticides, including carcinogenic ones, have extensively contaminated drinking water in the state of Parana, Brazil. Most municipalities exceeded the allowed limits for each pesticide, and the contaminated water is estimated to have caused 542 cancer cases, with mancozeb-ETU and diuron being the main contributors.

Summary: This study investigated the short-term negative effects of chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin on common carp under laboratory conditions. Results showed that both pesticides impacted the biomarkers in common carp even at concentrations lower than those permitted by law, with cypermethrin showing higher toxicity compared to chlorpyrifos. Caution should be exercised when using these pesticides to avoid any risk.

Summary: This study evaluates the influence of holm oak biochar on the behavior of clomazone in rice fields and finds that the use of biochar can reduce water contamination by clomazone. The findings of this study are of great significance for addressing pollution in rice fields in water-stressed regions.

Summary: The study found that sandy soil derived from quaternary sediments in urban areas has higher mobility for contaminants, and soil pH may affect substance retention. Tebuthiuron is identified as having the greatest leaching potential among the studied compounds.

Summary: The impact of new ion exchange point-of-entry residential softeners on water quality, as well as their ability to be decontaminated after hydrocarbon exposure, was studied. The release of total sulfur and total organic carbon into the drinking water during startup was significant. Softeners continued to cause high organic carbon levels even after one week of use. Leached materials from the resin contributed to chlorine decay and sorbed and desorbed contaminants. The study suggests that softeners exposed to hydrocarbon-contaminated water may require flushing or replacement.

Summary: This study investigated the pesticide contamination of fish ponds located in the mixed agriculture-pond landscape of the Dombes area, France. It found that crop area in catchments had a significant effect on the frequency of pesticide contamination in fish ponds, especially for broad-spectrum herbicides. Mitigation measures were proposed to reduce fish pond contamination.

Summary: This research focused on the relationship between soil porewater concentrations and soil concentrations of PFAS, based on a comprehensive model. The model was validated using measured parameters and literature data, showing accurate predictions of concentration ratios. Numerical simulations demonstrated the importance of air-water interfacial adsorption for the distribution of longer-chain PFAS. It was found that PFAS soil porewater concentrations can vary from ng/L to mg/L depending on soil concentrations and site conditions.

Summary: The widespread use of pesticides leads to contamination of groundwater, which has negative impacts on the environment and poses a threat to life. A study conducted in 15 districts of the Punjab province in Pakistan revealed the presence of chemical residues from major pesticide groups in the water samples. Highly contaminated groundwater was found in districts with intensive pesticide use, while districts with lower pesticide usage had lower levels of contamination. This issue highlights the importance of implementing integrated pest management and non-chemical pest control strategies.

Summary: This study developed and evaluated conceptual and numerical models to determine the migration ability of PFAS in the vadose zone under real field conditions. The results show that climate-driven physical flow processes have a dominant control on PFAS retention, with physico-chemical retention mechanisms adding further to PFAS retention.

Summary: This study identified tebuconazole metabolites in zebrafish water tanks using liquid chromatography coupled to a high-resolution mass spectrometer. The sulphation of tebuconazole (TEB-S) by zebrafish metabolism was suggested for the first time. Water samples were found to be a promising matrix for evaluating tebuconazole exposure in aquatic animals. The presence of TEB-S as a potential biomarker in water may be used for monitoring the presence of xenobiotics.

Summary: Column tests were conducted to investigate the effect of hydraulic loading rate on the dynamic capacities of reactive materials and control soils in removing Zn, NH4+ and PO43-. The results showed that limestone sand, halloysite, and zeolite demonstrated good removal efficiency for these contaminants, while the presence of salt caused contaminants remobilization.

Summary: Agrowaste biochars synthesized at different pyrolysis temperatures showed potential to retain highly mobile herbicides, with macropores appearing as main arteries for herbicide diffusion. Herbicide aging significantly affected sorption, especially for tebuthiuron, while soils amended with biochars at high rates showed low sorption potential, requiring incorporation strategies for remediation.

Summary: This study investigates the occurrence of pesticides in the Mirim-Sao Goncalo Basin, an important water source for rice crops in Brazil and Uruguay. The results show that 24 pesticides were detected in the surface waters, with herbicides being the most frequently detected class. The study highlights the contribution of agricultural activities to the pesticide contamination in the water bodies.

Summary: This study evaluated the water sources at the points of water collection for human supply in Cuiaba, Brazil, and found that the water quality in urban areas has declined, mainly due to the discharge of untreated domestic sewage and surface runoff. Therefore, measures need to be taken to expand and ensure the proper collection and treatment of sewage to prevent pollutant contamination in rivers.
