TLDR
In this article, the effect of micro-remediation on enzyme activity and available nutrient in chlorpyrifos-polluted soils and the correlation of enzyme activity, available nutrients and chlorpyri fos residue during soil remediation process was investigated.
Abstract
In order to find out the effect of micro-remediation on enzyme activity and available nutrient in chlorpyrifos-polluted soils and the correlation of enzyme activity, available nutrients and chlorpyri fos residue during soil remediation process, the soils planting Brassica juncea throughout the year, sprayed with chlorpyrifos and treated with bacteria were selected as restoration land, while the soils only sprayed with chlorpyrifos were regarded as reference land. The results showed that the activities of urease, catalase, amylase and phosphatase in the restoration land were higher than those in the reference land, especially in the subsequent phase of sample time (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis demonstrated that there was significantly negative correlation between amylase activity and chlorpyrifos residue in the soils only sprayed chlorpyrifos, while amylase and catalase activity had a significantly negative correlation with chlorpyrifos residue respectively in the restoration soils (P < 0.01). Meanwhile, just as the soil enzyme activities, the available nutrients content in the restoration soils were higher than those in the soils only sprayed chlorpyrifos, and significant difference for available phosphorus between the two soils (P < 0.05) can be observed. Correlation analysis demonstrated that there was no significant correlation between available nutrients and chlorpyrifos residue in the reference soils, while available phosphorus content was significantly negatively correlated with chlorpyrifos residue in the restoration soils (P < 0.01). In general, the microbial remediation can contribute to effectively enhancing the contents of available nitrogen, available potassium and available phosphorus in soils polluted by chlorpyrifos and improve soil fertility well.

A recent global review of hazardous chlorpyrifos pesticide in fruit and vegetables: Prevalence, remediation and actions needed.

TL;DR: It is shown that CPS is a hazardous material that poses risks to human health and also pollutes the environment and stringent biomonitoring of food, environment and human exposure should occur to avoid exposure to chemicals via citrus fruits and vegetables.

Optimization of the Use of His₆-OPH-Based Enzymatic Biocatalysts for the Destruction of Chlorpyrifos in Soil.

TL;DR: Using this type of His6-OPH-based enzyme chemical can be the best approach for soils with relatively low humus concentrations, such as sandy and loam-sandy chestnut soils, as well as types of soil with increased alkalinity (pH 8.0–8.4).

Peroxidases from an invasive Mesquite species for management and restoration of fertility of phenolic-contaminated soil.

TL;DR: F fractionated efficient peroxidases (MPx) from leaves of an invasive species of Mesquite, Prosopis juliflora, and demonstrated its superiority over horseradishperoxidase (HRP) in remediating phenol, 3-chlorophenol (3-CP), and a mixture of chlorophenols (CP-M), from contaminated soil.

Ecological restoration of heavy metal-contaminated soil using Na-bentonite and green compost coupled with the cultivation of the grass Festuca arundinacea

TL;DR: In this article, two soil additives, Na-bentonite and green compost, were used separately and as a mixture combined with Festuca arundinacea to reclaim soil highly contaminated with Cd, Zn and Pb.

Effects of nitrogen and phosphorus addition on soil phosphatase activity in different forest types

Zheng Mianha
TL;DR: N deposition is expected to aggravate soil P deficiency in mature subtropical forest, while the N-induced P-limited state of these forests might be effectively relieved by P addition, which may serve as an effective method for the sustainable future development of tropical and subtropICAL forests.

Role of Phosphatase Enzymes in Soil

TL;DR: Soil phosphatases, particularly acid and alkaline phosphomonoesterases, have been extensively studied as mentioned in this paper, because they mineralise organic phosphorus (P) to inorganic P. The effects of agricultural and forest managements, pollutants and any environmental factor on phosphatase activities of soil cannot be adequately interpreted because the currently available enzyme assays do not discriminate between the contribution of phosphat enzymes associated with active microbial cells and that of extracellular phosphatists stabilised by soil colloids.

Influence of acetamiprid on soil enzymatic activities and respiration

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of a new pesticide, acetamiprid, applied at normal field concentration (0.5 ǫ kg−1 dried soil) and at high concentration (5 and 50ǫkg−1 dry soil), on soil enzyme activities and soil respiration in upland soil was studied.

Chlorpyrifos: pollution and remediation

TL;DR: Chlorpyrifos, previously shown to be resistant to enhanced degradation, has now been proved to undergo enhanced microbe-mediated decay and special emphasis is given to degradation methods such as ozonation, Fenton treatment, photodegradation, and advanced oxidation processes along with microbial degradation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of washing, peeling and cooking on residue levels of chlorpyrifos and 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) in winter vegetables (spinach, cauliflower, potato) and summer vegetables (eggplant, tomato, okra) was determined.
