Microplastics are emerging contaminants and their presence in water and soil ecosystems
has recently drawn considerable attention because they pose a great threat to entire …

Crude oil-derived hydrocarbons constitute the largest group of environmental pollutants
worldwide. The number of reports concerning their toxicity and emphasizing the ultimate …

Plastic debris is accumulating in agricultural land due to the increased use of plastic

We take a historic approach to explore how concepts of the chemical and physical nature of
soil organic matter have evolved over time. We emphasize conceptual and analytical …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) chemodiversity plays an important role in regulating
nutrient cycles and contaminant behavior in soil. However, how biodegradable microplastic …

In this paper, aging process of petroleum-contaminated soil was characterized during 210d
of attenuation under different conditions: clean soil spiked with petroleum (Run 1), clean soil …

Nonlinear isotherm behavior has been reported for the sorption of hydrophobic organic
compounds (HOCs) in soil organic matter (SOM), but the exact mechanisms are unknown …

Six soils, obtained from grasslands and wooded areas in Northeastern Illinois, were
physicochemically characterized. Measured parameters included total organic carbon (TOC) …

The interdependent link between structure and physico-chemical properties of geosorbents
and sorption activity of hydrophobic organic pollutants (HOC) upon interaction with solid …

A growth chamber study was conducted to investigate the fate of pyrene in the rhizosphere
of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.). For this study …
