TL;DR: In this review, the negative effects and challenges of applying biochar for the remediation of HM-contaminated soils are thoroughly summarized and discussed, including the changeable characteristics of biochar, biochar over-application, toxic substances inBiochar, activation of some HMs in soils by bio char, nonspecific adsorption, and the negative influences of bio char on soil microorganisms and plants.

TL;DR: BCM was a porous-like flake material and that modification increased its specific surface area and surface functional groups and reduced the mobility of Cd and Cu in soil and transformed them to more stable fractions.

TL;DR: It is indicated that MPTS/nano-silica has long-term stabilization effects on Cd in agricultural soil and is a potential amendment for the remediation of Cd-contaminated agricultural soils.

TL;DR: Results suggest that Lff is an ideal candidate for the bioremediation of DEHP-contaminated environments and the first to perform a detailed investigation into the biodegradation ofDEHP in soil by Gordonia sp.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the influence of Pb/Zn smelter on surrounding environment, and the content and spatial distribution of metal(loid)s in the soil-wheat system and the potential health risk via consumption of wheat grains were determined.
