“…This eutrophication further promotes excessive growth of algae, leading to the occurrence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) and negatively impacting water quality and ecosystem health. In addition, high concentrations of NO 3 − intake are associated with various health problems, including methemoglobinemia (blue baby syndrome), diabetes, and increased risk of infectious diseases [59]. To address these issue, various treatment methods for NO 3 − in water bodies have been extensively studied, including physical methods such as ion exchange, reverse osmosis, and adsorption, chemical methods such as electrodialysis and electrochemical treatment, as well as biological methods such as microbial remediation and phytoremediation [60].…”

The membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) is a novel wastewater treatment technology, garnering attention due to its high gas utilization rate and effective pollutant removal capability. This paper outlines the working mechanism, advantages, and disadvantages of MBfR, and the denitrification pathways, assessing the efficacy of MBfR in removing oxidized pollutants (sulfate (SO4−), perchlorate (ClO4−)), heavy metal ions (chromates (Cr(VI)), selenates (Se(VI))), and organic pollutants (tetracycline (TC), p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB)), and delves into the role of related microorganisms. Specifically, through the addition of nitrates (NO3−), this paper analyzes its impact on the removal efficiency of other pollutants and explores the changes in microbial communities. The results of the study show that NO3− inhibits the removal of other pollutants (oxidizing pollutants, heavy metal ions and organic pollutants), etc., in the simultaneous removal of multiple pollutants by MBfR.

“…Such nutrient enrichment increases primary productivity of water bodies and results in growth of aquatic plants and most notably algal blooms, a situation known as 'eutrophication' , which ultimately reduces the dissolved oxygen level of the water bodies, rendering adverse effects on aquatic organisms (Khan et al 2018). Nitrate pollution, both in surface as well as groundwater, is a matter of concern for the world community in a situation when the use of N-fertilizer in agriculture has been rising (Banerjee et al 2023). This nitrate might enter groundwater by leaching.…”

Balancing food security and environmental safety: rethinking modern agricultural practices

Agriculture has played an important role in human life, both for sustaining life and livelihood. The population explosion has necessitated huge agricultural production. Consequently, there has been modernisation of agriculture not only in farming practices, but also in introducing improved agricultural implements, irrigation, chemical fertilisers, synthetic pesticides, and high-yielding seeds. Agricultural intensification and monoculture make it possible to increase crop production, to a large extent gaining food security, but paying no or little attention to environmental well-being. Intensive tillage leads to soil erosion, nutrient loss, and soil organic carbon loss, which affects the soil biota. Extraction of underground water for irrigation causes groundwater levels to drop and hinders aquifer recharge. Monoculture and the cultivation of high-yielding crops lead to the loss of many indigenous crop varieties and the prevalence of pests and pathogens. Extensive chemical fertiliser application can cause soil acidification, eutrophication, and nitrate contamination in groundwater through leaching. Indiscriminate use of pesticides is a potential threat for non-target organisms, including humans. The agriculture sector contributes a considerable portion of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Therefore, the only way to protect our mother earth and create a healthy environment is through sustainable agriculture to ensure food safety and security.

“…The lack of field dissipation data on agricultural chemicals and the increasing concerns about the presence of hazardous chemicals and their impacts on soil quality, aquatic animals, and surface runoff water quality following the use of animal manure-amended soil and/or inorganic fertilizers require innovative solutions. Ammonia (NH 4 + ) is transferred to nitrites (NO 2 -N) and nitrates (NO 3 -N) [5]…”

Ammonia, nitrate, and phosphate in animal manure used as fertilizer reduce environmental quality by running off agricultural fields into natural water resources. Runoff and seepage water from five soil management practices (chicken manure CM, sewage sludge SS, chitin CH, biochar Bio, and no-amendment NA control plots), were investigated for their potential nutrient catching down the field slope of a sweet potato, Ipomoea balata field. The results revealed that CM-amended soil released the greatest runoff water volume (172.6 L plot −1) compared to the control treatment (98.6 L plot −1), indicating a 75% increase in the runoff water volume. CM also increased the percolated water into the rhizosphere of the growing plants by 55% compared to the control, whereas SS reduced the runoff water volume and increased the leaching water by 36% and 82%, respectively (a desirable attribute of water conservation), compared to the control plots. The concentration of PO4−3 ions in the percolated water from the biochar treatment was significantly greater compared to the other treatments, indicating there was no impact of biochar on binding PO4−3 ions. SS reduced the nitrate concentrations in the runoff and increased the seepage water volume percolated towards the roots of the growing plants; a desired attribute for preventing surface water contamination by nitrates. Observing the precipitation pattern and improving the N application rate are recommended.
