“…They, which were first air-dried, were sieved using a 0.5 mm sieve, then ground into fine powder. Microwave digestion device (CEM MARS Xpress) was employed to digest the samples weighed in vessels with HNO 3 and HCl (3:1) (Bayraklı et al, 2023 ; Lin et al, 2023 ). After cooling step, the digests were diluted to 50 mL volume with ultrapure water and filtered.…”

“…For example, excess TEs accumulating in agricultural areas can pollute surface water and groundwater resources. Furthermore, TEs may adversely affect human health through the soil-food chain and through inhalation, dermal contact and ingestion pathways (Bayraklı et al, 2023 ; Guo et al, 2021 ; Varol et al, 2021 , 2022 ). Previous studies have reported that health problems such as cardiovascular problems, liver and kidney dysfunctions, hematological diseases, reproductive disorders, neurological dysfunctions, developmental disorders and cancer may occur in people exposed to high concentrations of TEs (Lin et al, 2023 ; Sun et al, 2021 ; Timofeev et al, 2019 ; Varol et al, 2021 ).…”

Abstractİzmir, Turkey’s third most populous city, is in an important position in terms of both agriculture and industry. The province, which contributes 9.3% to the country’s industrial production, also has an important potential in terms of olive cultivation. However, until now, no research has been undertaken to analyze the content of trace elements (TEs) in the soil of olive orchards in İzmir. This study was carried out to determine the pollution level and ecological risks of TEs in the olive orchards soils of İzmir province, to reveal their potential sources and to evaluate their health risks. Among the TEs, the average content of only Ni (37.9 mg/kg) exceeded the world soil average content (29 mg/kg), while the average content of only Cd (0.176 mg/kg) exceeded the upper continental crust content (0.09 mg/kg). Enrichment factor revealed that there was significant enrichment for Cd in 73.6%, Ni in 11.6% and Cr in 5.4% of olive orchards, respectively, due to polluted irrigation water and agrochemicals. Similarly, ecological risk factor indicated that there were moderate and considerable ecological risks for Cd in 48.8% and 23.3% of olive orchards, respectively. Absolute principal component scores-multiple linear regression (APCS-MLR) model showed that Ni and Cr in the study area are affected by agricultural sources, Al, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn originate from lithogenic sources, and Cd originates from mixed sources. Based on health risk evaluation methods, non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic effects would not be expected for residents. This study provides significant knowledge for evaluating soil TE pollution in olive orchards and serves a model for source apportionment and human health risk evaluation of TEs in other agricultural regions.

Heavy metal and microplastic (MP) contamination of aquatic systems is a major environmental issue that affects human health globally. Songkhla lagoon, the largest lagoon in Thailand, also faced with the environmental issues. Here, this study reported the occurrence of heavy metal and MP in 10 sites of sediment in the Songkla lagoon. From the microplastic separation, fibers were found at all stations at 68.24% (15.15 items/g) and fragments were found at 31.76% (7.05 items/g). The highest number of MP particles was found at the area near the mouth of the lagoon (5.4 items/g). The average concentrations (mg/kg) of heavy metal at all sites showed the following trend: Mg (732.54 ± 247.04) > Mn (176.74 ± 83.68) > Zn (29.36 ± 39.47) > Cu (12.31 ± 24.58) > Pb (11.07 ± 7.60) > As (5.64 ± 3.30) > Co (2.90 ± 1.38) > Cd (0.22 ± 0.17). Regarding the overall risk assessment of MPs in lagoon sediment in this study, the risk was categorized as high for the polymer hazard index. The ecological risk index found Cd and As to have high ecological risk. High EF values were observed for As and Cd, which indicated severe enrichment. Based on the Igeo calculation, the majority of sampling stations were unpolluted to moderately contaminated (Pb, Zn, Mg, and Co). Furthermore, there was no significant correlation between MPs and heavy metals, except for Zn (r = 0.697) and Cu (r = 0.61) (both p< 0.05). The results of this study might provide valuable data to develop conservation policies for coastal lagoon areas.

“…Regardless the fact that artificial substances are more durable than genuine ones, it is important to recognize the environmental risks posed by the toxic compounds found in synthetic materials. A new study has demonstrated that environmental protection can be strengthened without sacrificing the intrinsic qualities of materials by replacing at least one synthetic element with one that is organic [7]. Our creative method encourages the usage of these plant-based polymers in this situation as a workable substitute to support a healthier and more secure environment.…”

The escalating global waste crisis and precipitous decline in biodiversity have emerged as two of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. These interconnected issues pose grave threats to the delicate balance of ecosystems and the myriad species that inhabit them. This research Endeavor seeks to harmonize these critical spheres by proposing an integrated approach to waste reduction and wildlife preservation, recognizing their inextricable linkages within the intricate web of life. This research explores the synergistic potential of integrating waste reduction strategies with targeted wildlife preservation efforts. By promoting circular economies, sustainable production and consumption practices, and innovative recycling technologies, the influx of harmful pollutants into ecosystems can be mitigated, alleviating the burden on vulnerable species and habitats. Complementarily, robust conservation measures, ecosystem restoration initiatives, and the engagement of local communities can safeguard biodiversity, thereby maintaining the ecological integrity that underpins sustainable waste management.
