TL;DR: The enhanced toxicity of Cd to earthworms in the presence of EF at low environmental concentrations may have implications for the health and reproductive success of earthworm populations and highlights the importance of understanding effects of antibiotic contamination of farm soils, and of awareness of environmental effects from interaction between multiple contaminants.

TL;DR: The results showed that the designed vermifiltration system could continuously treat the sewage produced by more than 100 inhabitants per day and has practical application value for village sewage treatment.

TL;DR: In this article, earthworms were exposed to five concentrations of sodium arsenite (5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 mg As kg−1) in farm soils for 28 days, and the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase -1 (HO-1) were upregulated by As in a dose-dependent pattern.

TL;DR: To make full use of discharged wastes, the integrated “zero discharge” pilot-scale industrial plant comprising “pretreatment-anaerobic and aerobic process-membrane separation” was continuously operated for 1 year.

TL;DR: It is concluded that EF could cause acute and sub-acute toxicity to earthworms (E. fetida) at relatively high concentration and the long-term exposure of EF to earthworm and the test conducting on natural soil substrates specific to that region should be further studied.
