“…Sewage sludge, a residual and semi-solid material, produced as a by-product during domestic and industrial waste water treatment, is rich in organic matter, shows potential for fertilization and production of seedling substrates 1 , 2 . Sewage sludge can be used safely in agriculture and forests plantations as fertilizer and in the recovery of degraded areas, with a low-cost alternative to reduce the environmental impacts and to avoid contamination of the human food chain 3 – 5 .…”

Nutrients from dehydrated sewage sludge play an essential role in the development of many plants such as Terminalia argentea , in the recovery of degraded areas. The aims were to assess the abundance, diversity and species richness of phytophagous, pollinators and predators arthropods, as well as the percentage of defoliation of T. argentea trees, fertilized (or not) with dehydrated sewage sludge in a degraded area. The abundance, diversity and species richness of phytophagous Coleoptera and total predators (predator insects + protocooperating ants + spiders); abundance and species richness of Diptera, pollinator insects, spiders, and predators (predator insects + spiders) were higher on trees fertilized with dehydrated sewage sludge. The abundance of phytophagous Coleoptera declined with the presence of phytophagous Hemiptera and protocooperating ants; population of phytophagous Orthoptera declined in response to phytophagous Coleoptera and total predators; the numbers of the leafminer Lyriomyza sp. directly increased with the numbers of spiders. The ecological indices of phytophagous, pollinators, and predator arthopods increased on Terminalia argentea trees fertilized with dehydrated sewage sludge; such a better ecological indices in fertilized than in unfertilized trees, show it more suitable for the recovery of degraded areas. We discuss the competition between phytophagous insects groups as well as herbivory reduction by predators.

“…Zeng et al (2011) suggested that the reduction of the toxic impacts of HMs and their translocation to food chains needs impact assessment of different soil parameters on their accessibility and uptake by plants. In addition, the risk of introducing HMs to the soil can be minimized by the mixing of SS with other components sludge from industry such as cellulose production waste (Antonkiewicz, Baran, et al, 2019).…”

This study was carried out to develop mathematical regression equations for predicting the uptake of selected heavy metals (HMs: Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, and Zn) by Corchorus olitorius L. cultivated in soil mixed with sewage sludge based on the concentration of these HMs in the soil–sludge mixture, soil organic matter (OM), and soil pH. The resultant regression equations reflected that the three soil factors were significant predictors for the uptake of the ten HMs in the plant tissues. Applying the t test, there are no significant differences between the actual and predicted values of the ten HMs in C. olitorius root and shoot (p > .05), which reflect the best‐fitting of these equations for predicting the uptake of these HMs. Such types of equations may be helpful for evaluating the risk of cultivation due to precise prediction of C. olitorius (leafy vegetable) uptake of HMs, in soil mixed with sewage sludge.

“…Because nanocellulose materials are primarily obtained from naturally occurring sources, they are seen as environmentally-friendly, biocompatible, and safe. Sewage systems and municipal wastewater treatment plants are identified to become important intermediate pathways for nanocellulose transfer into the environment (Antonkiewicz et al, 2019). This assumption, that is not supported by solid scientific evidence, as well as their ever-increasing usage for many synthesized products, make that there is an urgent need to verify the safety claim as well as to gain insights in the (unwarranted) toxicity potentials of nanocellulose (Du et al, 2015;Farcas et al, 2016;Yanamala et al, 2014).…”

Nanocellulose is a functional material derived from natural carbon-based polymers. These nanomaterials are biodegradable and renewable in nature and hence are seen as environmentally-friendly materials in many applications. The use of such innovative materials is accelerating and inescapable there is a need to test these presumed environmentally-friendly materials with regard to their ecotoxicity. Here, the acute toxicity and the oxidative stress of nanocelluloses as induced to three aquatic organisms of different trophic levels, namely Scenedesmus obliquus, Daphnia magna, and Danio rerio, were studied in relation to the composition and morphology of the celluloses. Wood-based cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), cotton-based CNCs, and cotton-based cellulose nanofibrils were selected as model compounds. The results clearly demonstrated a lack of impact of the different nanocellulose materials on apical endpoints like growth inhibition and mortality after short-term exposure. The nanocellulose materials did activate oxidative stress as evoked by reactive oxygen species in the three aquatic organisms. Key factors ascertained to induce the oxidative stress were the composition and morphology. The nanocellulose induced oxidative stress was observed for all the species at concentrations higher than 0.01 mg/L. This finding suggests a more general revelation of oxidative stress being a characteristic mechanism for nanocellulose toxicity to aquatic organisms.
