Summary: In this study, surfactant modified natural zeolite (SMZ) was used as a novel ballasting agent to improve settling performance of activated sludge and simultaneously adsorb nitrate and phosphate. The results showed that 75-150 μm size SMZ had the best effect in promoting sludge settling, reaching a settling velocity 2.11 times that of the original sludge at 1 g/L dosage. Furthermore, SMZ removed 47.05% and 53.25% of nitrate and phosphate, respectively, while increasing the sludge settling velocity to more than twice that of the original sludge.

Summary: Microplastic contamination can jeopardize agroecosystem sustainability by affecting soil physical properties, the nitrogen cycle, and plant performance. Soil contaminated with polyester microplastic fibers (PMFs) limits crop growth and N uptake, and increases N loss via leaching, posing problems to future agricultural challenges.

Summary: Nitrate leaching from agricultural soils is a significant environmental concern related to nitrogen application. The increase in nitrate leaching due to extra mineral N application near the optimal N rate for crop production is called marginal nitrate leaching, which depends on various factors such as soil type, crop types, climatic conditions, and N fertilization rates. This study collected experimental data from Denmark and other European countries to analyze the relationship between nitrate leaching and marginal nitrate leaching at optimal N rates. The results showed that precipitation during the hydrological year and winter periods positively correlated with nitrate leaching and marginal nitrate leaching, and long-term effects of N rates should be considered when estimating marginal nitrate leaching.

Summary: The study focused on using natural zeolite clinoptilolite to reduce the leaching rate of potentially toxic elements in soil from mine tailings. The zeolite was characterized and an ammonium-exchange method was employed for its treatment. Leaching experiments were carried out with polluted soil and zeolite mixtures, showing that the presence of zeolite reduced the concentration of Cd and Mn in leachates. The results suggest that natural zeolite clinoptilolite holds potential for reducing the leaching rate of potentially toxic elements in mine tailing soil.

Summary: Sulfur-impregnated zeolite was successfully obtained by chemical modification of natural zeolite clinoptilolite with Na2S, which enhanced the sorption of Hg(II) from aqueous solutions. The impregnation increased basicity and negative surface charge, decreased specific surface area and crystallinity, and showed optimal sorption capacity under acidic conditions.

Summary: A new magnetic zeolite was prepared by chemical co-precipitation of Fe2+ and Fe3+ in the presence of natural clinoptilolite, showing increased surface area compared to the natural zeolite. The adsorption of Basic Blue 41 on the natural and magnetic zeolites fit well with Langmuir isotherm and pseudo second order kinetic models, with the maximum adsorption capacities at 323 K being significantly higher for the magnetic zeolite. The thermodynamic analysis revealed that both natural and magnetic zeolites exhibit spontaneous and endothermic nature.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of different forms of nitrogen fertilizer on the reduction and dissolution of arsenic-bearing iron minerals and microbial-mediated arsenic transformation processes. The results show that nitrate nitrogen fertilizer reduces the bio-availability of arsenic in soil, while ammonium nitrogen fertilizer promotes the release of arsenic into porewater. However, the combined application of nitrate and ammonium nitrogen has no significant effect on arsenic concentration in rice grain and its transformation in paddy soils. These findings provide insights into the rational use of nitrogen fertilizers to reduce the risk of arsenic contamination in rice.

Summary: Nitrate leaching from agriculture is a major cause of groundwater contamination and freshwater ecosystem degradation. Analysis of global field studies revealed that rainfall, nitrogen fertilizer rate, and crop nitrogen removal are the most important factors affecting nitrate leaching. To reduce nitrogen losses, science-based management practices should be adopted and tailored to different regions.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of drought on vegetation cover and groundwater resources by analyzing climatic data and MODIS data. Dry and wet years were identified based on SPI values, with higher NDVI values in wet years compared to dry years. The spatial variation of SPI showed the northern part of Lorestan province had the highest variation. The study suggests that MODIS data can be a key tool in detecting the effects of intensive drought on natural vegetation cover.

Summary: In recent decades, increased agricultural activities in the Shazand plain in the Markazi Province of Iran have resulted in higher water withdrawals. This study used the Soil & Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model to estimate recharge content for groundwater models. Groundwater modeling was conducted using the MODFLOW2000 in GMS10.5 software, and land use change in the Shazand plain was examined. The results indicated that the agricultural sector showed the largest change with an 18% increase. The water table decreased by 5 m during 2009-2016 due to reduced recharge and increased exploitation. Management scenarios were applied, including removal of irrigated crops and reduction of cultivated area by 10%, 20%, and 30%, which led to increases in the water table at the end of the 7-year study period.

Summary: Groundwater is a vital freshwater resource in arid and semi-arid regions, but it is being polluted by agricultural activities and other sources. A study in the Bouin-Daran Plain in central Iran found that nitrate pollution in groundwater is widespread, particularly in the southern and southeastern parts of the plain. The excessive use of fertilizers in agriculture is contributing to this pollution.

Summary: The increase in global population and the demand for food production and agricultural development, along with scarce water resources, has led to the exploration of unconventional water sources, such as saline water and wastewater. While most unconventional water treatment methods are not cost-effective, the phytoremediation method has gained attention for its cost-efficient and eco-friendly removal of pollutants. Research has shown that vetiver grass, due to its unique characteristics, can be beneficial in phytoremediation. This review focuses on research on vetiver-based phytoremediation of unconventional water, specifically wastewater.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic exposure to PM induces chronic inflammation and development of COPD by dysregulating NAD+ metabolism and subsequent SIRT1 deficiency in pulmonary macrophages. Activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol effectively mitigates PM-induced inflammation and COPD development.

This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.

The results showed that phthalates are still prevalent in the region, and breastfeeding contributes to phthalate intake in infants. However, the levels detected do not pose significant health risks to infants based on dietary exposure. The increasing exposure to certain phthalates calls for further research into their sources and potential risks.
