“…These substances are problematic because most of them: (1) are currently not regulated in humans and the environment; (2) are not systematically monitored as part of environmental and public health programs; and (3) have their mechanism of environmental and human toxicity poorly understood. There is an urgent need for scientific knowledge from a chemical, biological, toxicological and ecotoxicological point of view (Gwenzi et al 2018;Pedrazzani et al 2019;Xu et al 2019;Zhang et al 2019;Olaniyan et al 2020).…”

“…In recent decades, thanks to significant advances in the analysis and detection of trace contaminants, emerging contaminants have also been detected in plants (due to soil and water pollution), food products, living organisms and protected species (e.g., birds, polar bears), even in areas where there is no human activity (Datta et al 2018;Routti et al 2019).

Over the past two decades, the presence of so-called emerging contaminants in various environmental compartments around the world, such as water, sediments, soils and atmosphere, and in a wide variety of consumer products has become a major concern for society, public health authorities, industry (namely food industry and water sector) and the agricultural sector. Some of these substances are endocrine disruptors and others are proven carcinogens and mutagens. In particular,

“…BPA is widely used for the industrial production of polycarbonate and epoxy resins, flame retardants, food and beverage packaging, bottle caps and water supply systems [17]. The OP molecule is generated by the microbial degradation of octylphenol polyethoxylates which are non-ionic surfactants used in the production of paints, detergents and pesticides [18]. OP is largely present in the effluents of sewage sludge treatment plants and is biopersistent in the environment due to recalcitrance [18].…”

Use of the Solid By-Product of Anaerobic Digestion of Biomass to Remove Anthropogenic Organic Pollutants with Endocrine Disruptive Activity

Anaerobic digestion of biomass has increasing implementation for bioenergy production. The solid by-product of this technology, i.e., the digestate, has relevant potential in agricultural and environmental applications. This study explored the capacity of a digestate from mixed feedstock to remove from water four endocrine-disrupting chemicals, namely the pesticides metribuzin (MET) and boscalid (BOS) and the xenoestrogens bisphenol A (BPA) and 4-tert-octylphenol (OP). The surface micromorphology and functional groups of the digestate were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, respectively. Results of sorption kinetics showed that all compounds reached the steady state in a few hours according to a pseudo-first-order model in the cases of MET and OP, a pseudo-second-order model for BOS and both models in the case of BPA. Data of adsorption isotherms were fitted to the Henry, Freundlich, Langmuir and Temkin equations. The adsorption of MET preferentially followed the non-linear Freundlich model, whereas the adsorption of the other compounds was properly described by both the linear and Freundlich models. The organic carbon partition coefficients, KOC, were 170, 1066, 256 and 2180 L kg−1 for MET, BOS, BPA and OP, respectively. The desorption of BOS, BPA and OP was slow and incomplete, indicating a phenomenon of hysteresis. In conclusion, the digestate showed a remarkable efficiency in the removal of the compounds, especially those with high hydrophobicity, thus behaving as a promising biosorbent for environmental remediation.

“…The 4-tert-octylphenol (OP), a xenoestrogen, originates by the microbial breakdown of octylphenol polyethoxylates (OPEOs) which are surfactants used in the formulation of different kind of products, such as paints, detergents, and pesticides (Olaniyan et al 2018). It is largely present in effluents of sewage treatment plants and can persist in the environment for a long time because of the recalcitrance (Olaniyan et al 2018). Another well-known EDC is bisphenol A (BPA) that possesses both estrogenic and antiandrogenic activity (Geens et al 2012).…”

The uptake of organic pollutants by agricultural plants and their accumulation in edible parts cause serious health problems to animals and humans. In this study, we used carbon-rich materials, such as biochar (BC), hydrochar (HC), and green compost (GC), to reduce the absorption and accumulation of three pesticides, imidacloprid (IMI), boscalid (BOS), and metribuzin (MET) and two endocrine disruptors, 4-tert-octylphenol (OP) and bisphenol A (BPA), in rocket salad plants (Eruca vesicaria L.). After an experimental period of 35 days, compared to unamended soil, the addition of BC, HC, and GC significantly reduced chemical phytotoxicity, increasing the elongation of the aerial plant parts by 26, 25, and 39%, respectively, whereas GC increased the fresh biomass by 21%. The assessment of residual chemicals in both soil and plant tissues indicated that any amendment was very effective in enhancing the retention of all compounds in soil, thus reducing their uptake by plants. Averagely for the five compounds, the reduction of plant absorption followed the trend BC > HC > GC. In particular, the presence of BC decreased the chemical residues in the plants from a minimum of 71% (IMI) to a maximum of 91% (OP). The overall results obtained encourage the incorporation in soil of C-rich materials, especially BC, to protect leafy food plants from the absorption and toxicity of organic pollutants of a wide range of hydrophobicity, with relevant benefits for consumers.
