“…Livestock excrement contains large amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and other fertilizer components, and livestock barn sewage may be discharged directly into rivers, lakes, and other water bodies (Samways 2022). In addition, the accumulation of manure in the field and the storage of livestock barn sewage in ponds can cause water pollution through surface runoff and underground seepage of rainwater (Cesoniene et al 2019). In summary, the combined results show that there is a significant negative correlation between agricultural land use and agricultural production activities and surface water quality compared to forest land and urban land use.…”

Good surface water quality is critical to human health and ecology. Land use determines the surface water heat and material balance, which cause climate change and affect water quality. There are many factors affecting water quality degradation, and the process of influence is complex. As rivers, lakes, and other water bodies are used as environmental receiving carriers, evaluating and quantifying how impacts occur between land use types and surface water quality is extremely important. Based on the summary of published studies, we can see that (1) land use for agricultural and construction has a negative impact on surface water quality, while woodland use has a certain degree of improvement on surface water quality; (2) statistical methods used in relevant research mainly include correlation analysis, regression analysis, redundancy analysis, etc. Different methods have their own advantages and limitations; (3) in recent years, remote sensing monitoring technology has developed rapidly, and has developed into an effective tool for comprehensive water quality assessment and management. However, the increase in spatial resolution of remote sensing data has been accompanied by a surge in data volume, which has caused difficulties in information interpretation and other aspects.

“…This can result in the ingestion or transport of MP particles by organisms through various passive means. In addition, the pollution of the environment and surface water can occur due to contaminated feed, improper wastewater disposal, and the presence of polluted manure (Cesoniene et al, 2019). Furthermore, in certain areas, expired packaged foods like bread and biscuits are utilized as livestock feed.…”

Plastic pollution is widely recognized as a major environmental concern due to the entry of small plastic particles into the food chain, thereby posing potential risks to human health. However, the current understanding of microplastic (MP; <5 mm) particles in livestock, which serve as an important food source, is limited. This study aims to investigate the abundance and characteristics of MPs in edible tissues of cow and sheep, namely liver, meat, and tripe, obtained from butcher shops in ve areas of Bushehr port, Iran. The average concentration of MPs in different tissues of cow and sheep were 0.14 and 0.13 items/g, respectively. Among the examined tissues, cow meat exhibited the highest concentration of MPs, with a concentration of 0.19 items/g. Nylon and ber were identi ed as the predominant polymer types and shapes of MPs found in cow and sheep tissues, respectively. Furthermore, no statistically signi cant difference was observed in MP abundance across different tissues of cow and sheep.Signi cantly, this study highlights the elevated risks associated with exposure to MPs through the consumption of edible cow and sheep tissues, particularly for children who consume meat. The results underscore the potential transfer of MPs from the environment to livestock bodies through their food, potential accumulation within their tissues, and subsequent health risks for consumers.

“…Apesar do trecho de médio curso inferior possuir maior número de estabelecimentos agropecuários, quando comparados aos demais trechos da bacia hidrográfica, não apresentou elevada concentração de fósforo total na água, e isto pode estar relacionado ao fato de esse trecho possuir áreas de mata ciliar relativamente mais preservadas. Estudos apontam que a agropecuária desenvolvida na rede de drenagem da bacia aumenta os níveis de sedimentos finos depositados (Conroy et al, 2016) e promove a entrada de nutrientes, principalmente na forma de fósforo e nitrogênio, nos sistemas hídricos (Cesoniene et al, 2019;Namaalwa et al, 2020). Entretanto, quando os sistemas aquáticos possuem mata ciliar, o impacto negativo sobre a qualidade da água é minimizado (Vidon et al, 2010).…”

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a sustentabilidade ambiental, social e econômica da bacia hidrográfica do rio Apodi/Mossoró (RN), semiárido brasileiro. A bacia foi dividida em quatro trechos: alto curso, médio curso superior, médio curso inferior e baixo curso. Os locais de amostragens foram distribuídos ao longo da bacia hidrográfica para obtenção dos valores das seguintes variáveis limnológicas: oxigênio dissolvido, nitrogênio total, fósforo total e coliformes termotolerantes. As informações relacionadas aos indicadores econômicos e sociais foram adquiridas junto ao Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística – IBGE. A sustentabilidade foi avaliada por meio do modelo conceitual implementado com o auxílio do software Multisectorial, Integrated and Operational Decision Support System for Sustainable Use of Water Resources at the Catchment Scale (MULINO mDSS). Na bacia hidrográfica do rio Apodi/Mossoró o trecho mais sustentável foi o baixo curso, com menor amplitude de variação entre os escores das dimensões econômica, ambiental e social. Este trecho foi considerado como potencialmente sustentável, apresentando melhor desempenho nas dimensões social e econômica, no entanto, comparativamente, exibiu menor escore para a dimensão ambiental do que os demais trechos da bacia hidrográfica. Isto evidencia que o trecho de baixo curso possui maior desenvolvimento econômico e social, entretanto, apresenta mais problemas ambientais. O trecho de alto curso foi classificado como de baixa sustentabilidade. Já o trecho de médio curso superior se destacou na dimensão ambiental, mas por não apresentar escores proporcionais nas dimensões social e econômica, o seu índice geral foi de baixa sustentabilidade. O trecho de médio curso inferior apresentou média sustentabilidade. Assim, foi evidenciado que ambientes que são mais desenvolvidos economicamente tendem a apresentar mais problemas ambientais, entretanto, ainda podem ser considerados mais sustentáveis devido ao maior desenvolvimento econômico e social.
