Comparative toxicological assessment of three soils polluted with different levels of hydrocarbons and heavy metals using in vitro and in vivo approaches
2022, Environmental PollutionCitation Excerpt :Likewise, the Gram-negative bacterium P. putida can be found in soils, particularly in rhizosphere, where it interacts with plants stabilising commensal relationships, and being involved in several important functions such as plant growth promotion (Molina et al., 2020). This microorganism was also used in previous works to study the toxicity of contaminated and bioremediated soil extracts (Ahtiainen et al., 2002; Hund and Traunspurger, 1994). To perform in vivo assays, the annelid E. cypticus was employed as model organism.
Process type is the key driver of the fate of organic micropollutants during industrial scale treatment of organic wastes
2020, Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :Overall, total concentrations of PPs were highly decreased during all composting processes. Results were contrasted for PAHs: total PAH concentrations are expected to decrease during composting (Amir et al., 2005; Ahtiainen et al., 2002) with smallest compounds preferentially degraded but this was only observed in Agri I. Results were more process-dependent for NPs with reduction only observed when composting anaerobically digested inputs. The combination of anaerobic digestion and composting was also evaluated in Agri I and Urb I.

2012, Environmental PollutionCitation Excerpt :The comparison of present results with those obtained in the field will enable us to assess if the field experiment was well optimised and if a laboratory experiment could reproduce the results of the field biotreatment. Although many studies dealed with the monitoring of PAH-polluted soils in laboratory (Arias et al., 2008; Dandie et al., 2010), field (Ahtiainen et al., 2002; Lors et al., 2010b) and both conditions (Robinson et al., 2003), the question whether laboratory experiments can mimic field biotreatment was hardly addressed, to the exception of Diplock et al. (2009), who concluded to an urgent need for field-scale validation of laboratory methods. Additionally, this laboratory experiment could help to verify that the Beta-proteobacteria group appears when the soil is no longer ecotoxic, as it has been reported previously at field scale (Lors et al., 2010b).
