Due to the irresistible increase in plastic production and the lack of effective waste disposal countermeasures, the current pressure of microplastic contamination in soil is expected to continue for many years to come. To better understand the ecosystem effects and risks of microplastics in the soil...
The management of municipal waste disposal sites has been a critical environmental challenge in developing nations, particularly in Nigeria, where unsanitary dumpsites and landfills have led to severe environmental contamination with detrimental effects on human health and ecological systems (Aralu et al....
the potential pollution and effects on the environment and human health resulting from waste disposal in dumpsites were not taken into consideration. It was generally believed that the leachate from these waste sites would be naturally treated by the soil and groundwater,...
Therefore, this study indicates that the metals pollution in soils can be minimized by translocating the studied metals in non-edible plants (as of Plant Transfer Factors) followed by effective and careful monitoring of the disposal of solid and liquid wastes during the processing of leather and ...
The total land area of the world is estimated to be 130,575,894 km2, including rocky surfaces, deserts, ice-covered areas, and lands with soil. Only about 12 % land is suitable for agricultural crop production without much limitation, 24 % is used for gr

It was found that changes in the development of vegetation were closely related to the stages of coal-waste disposal, where the initial, transitional, and terminal stages were distinguished. The mean range of pH (H2O) values in the profiles was 6.75 ± 0.21 (profile 1), 7.2 ± 0.31 (...
