A Critical Review of the Occurrence, Characteristics and Consequences of Micro-and Nano-plastics in Environmental Waters

Plastic pollution poses a significant and pervasive threat to aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems globally. This review provides an integrated assessment of Micro- and nano-plastics (MNPs) by linking their sources, pathways, occurrence, and environmental impacts across interconnected aquatic systems. The synthesis revea...

Risk-based environmental assessment of the use of ten products from bottom ash treatment plants based on leaching and ecotoxicological tests.

Bottom ash (BA) treatment for metal recovery is widely implemented in European waste-to-energy plants. The resulting mineral fractions are increasingly recycled, mainly in construction applications. However, in many countries including Italy, assessments for verifying the environmental compatibility of the products are...

Microplastics as a source of phthalate esters in water: A review on occurrence, release mechanism, and ecological risk assessment.

Microplastics (MPs) are increasingly recognized not only as persistent particulate pollutants but also as active sources and vectors of phthalate esters (PAEs) in aquatic environments. Because PAEs are physically incorporated rather than chemically bonded within polymer matrices, they can be progressively released thro...

Nanotechnology-Enabled Remediation of Contaminated Soils: Mechanisms, Soil Constraints, Environmental Risks, and Implications for Sustainable Land Management

Engineered nanomaterials have been increasingly proposed for the treatment of contaminated soils. Nevertheless, most available evidence has been obtained in water, artificial substrates or short-term laboratory experiments, and performance in real soil is substantially more variable. This review examines nanoscale zero...

A 15-year atmospheric record of intentionally produced persistent organic pollutants in Spain: Spatial gradients, thermodynamic fractionation, and temporal trends.

This study presents a comprehensive 15-year (2009-2023) assessment of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the Spanish atmosphere to evaluate the Stockholm Convention's effectiveness. Polyurethane foam passive samplers were deployed across 23 sites to monitor legacy pesticides and industrial chemicals. Results revea...

From sources to solutions: An integrated framework for industrial risk assessment, subsurface contaminant dynamics, and Nature-Based remediation from RemTech Europe 2024.

Effective territorial preservation and contaminated site management require an integrated, multi-scale framework that bridges macroeconomic tracking with site-specific physics, chemical forensics, and biotechnology. Within this framework, this Brief Communication synthesizes seven key advancements discussed at RemTech...
