Magnetite Metal-Organic Frameworks: Applications in Environmental Remediation of Heavy Metals, Organic Contaminants, and Other Pollutants.
Reza Taghavi,Sadegh Rostamnia,Mustafa Farajzadeh,Hassan Karimi-Maleh,Jinghan Wang,Dokyoon Kim,Ho Won Jang,Rafael Luque,R. Varma,Mohammadreza Shokouhimehr +9 more
TL;DR: The magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) has become a popular method for the removal of different pollutants from the environment as discussed by the authors , where metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of porous materials best known for their ultrahigh porosity.

An overview on biochar production, its implications, and mechanisms of biochar-induced amelioration of soil and plant characteristics
Fasih Haider,Jeffrey A. Coulter,Liqun Cai,Saddam Hussain,Sardar Alam Cheema,Jun Wu,Renzhi Zhang +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors highlight the methods and conditions for biochar production and the effects of pyrolysis temperature, feedstock type, and retention time on the physicochemical properties of biochar.

An analysis of the versatility and effectiveness of composts for sequestering heavy metal ions, dyes and xenobiotics from soils and aqueous milieus
Ackmez Mudhoo,Deepika Lakshmi Ramasamy,Amit Bhatnagar,Muhammad Usman,Mika Sillanpää,Mika Sillanpää +5 more
TL;DR: Compost-based field-scale remediation of environmental pollutants is still sparse and arguably much challenging to implement if real-world soil and water contamination issues are to be addressed effectively, hence significant research and process development efforts should be promptly geared and intensified in this direction.

Improved degradation of diuron herbicide and pesticide wastewater treatment in a three-dimensional electrochemical reactor equipped with PbO2 anodes and granular activated carbon particle electrodes
Ali Reza Rahmani,Mostafa Leili,Abdolmotaleb Seidmohammadi,Amir Shabanloo,Amin Ansari,Davood Nematollahi,Saber Alizadeh +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of porous carbon felt/PbO2 and planar titanium/Pbo2 anodes in a three-dimensional electrochemical reactor (3DER) equipped with granular activated carbon (GAC) particle was studied for synergistic degradation of diuron herbicide (DIU) and treatment of pesticide wastewater.

Nanomaterials and nanoparticles: Sources and toxicity
TL;DR: This review reveals the result of life’s long history of evolution in the presence of nanoparticles, and how the human body has adapted to defend itself against nanoparticulate intruders, while raising awareness of nanomaterials’ toxicity among scientists and manufacturers handling them.

The SCS/ARS/CES pesticide properties database for environmental decision-making.
TL;DR: This work has compiled the most complete collection of these properties available, using others' compilations but verifying values from the primary literature in many cases, and suggests a "Selected Value" which it believes to be the best available.

Atrazine-induced hermaphroditism at 0.1 ppb in American leopard frogs (Rana pipiens): Laboratory and field evidence
TL;DR: It is shown that atrazine exposure resulted in retarded gonadal development (gonadal dysgenesis) and testicular oogenesis (hermaphroditism) in leopard frogs (Rana pipiens) and the current data raise concern about the effects of atrazines on amphibians in general and the potential role of atazine and other endocrine-disrupting pesticides in amphibian declines.
