TL;DR: In this paper, a novel α-FeOOH modified wheat straw biochar (α-FeOH@BC) was developed and the findings of the current study showed that αOOH@ BC is an efficient material for the simultaneous removal of cations (Cd(II)) and anions (As(III)) from aqueous solutions.

TL;DR: Results suggested that TiO2-NPs might have some affinities with phosphate compounds and metal ions in the soil to bring them in soluble form, which enhanced their bioavailability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of biochar application on hydraulic properties of sandy soil under dry and wet conditions, water retention in wet conditions and soil drying curves from wet to dry conditions were measured under different application rates (1, 3, and 5%, w/w), particle sizes (<0.25, 0.25-0.5), 0.5-1, and 1-2 mm), and pyrolysis temperatures (300, 450, and 600°C) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) straw-derived biochar.

TL;DR: This chapter throws light on the importance of miRNAs in the enhancement of HM stress tolerance and their functions in amelioration of HM-caused toxicity.

TL;DR: The findings reveal that acute exposure of Yb 2 O 3 NPs through intranasal inhalation may cause toxicity via oxidative stress, which leads to a chronic inflammatory response.
