“…In general, it has been documented that the heavy metal accumulation pattern in mine tailings is: Pb > Cd > Cu [40][41][42][43][44], which corresponds to the detected metals in worms from this study, placing E. Fetida as a consistent bioindicator species which reflects the metal content from soils. Also, contrasting results about heavy metal biomagnification patterns from mine tailings to plants and from plants to animals has been reported [45,46]. In the present study, no relationship was found between metal bioavailability in mine tailings, and heavy metal bioaccumulation in plants.…”

Background: The analysis of the negative effects of environmental metal pollution is complex and difficult to assess, because the great number of variables and levels of biological organization involved. Therefore, an integral interpretation of the structure of ecological interactions from the multifactorial toxicological vision can be achieved by the use of new analysis tools, such as the complex network theory analysis (CNT). Results: Our results demonstrated that the trophic level has an effect on metal enrichment, being the detritivores who presented the highest bioaccumulation levels in comparison to plants, as well as higher biomagnification levels in the soil-plant-detritivores relationship. Also, Vachellia farnesiana displayed greater sensitivity to genotoxic damage than Eisenia fetida. Finally, the analysis of complex networks showed that detritivores are the key link in this dynamics, on which the interactions between heavy metals, plant and detritivores depend. Conclusions: This study shows that there is an effect of the study site on heavy metal bioaccumulation and DNA damage induction, and that these responses are particular to each species and to each bioaccumulated metal, which in turn reveals specific sensitivity for each trophic level. Moreover, the application of CNT methodology allowed us to clarify in this particular system, the interaction types and the principal components of the trophic structure.

“…In the end, as per EcSF-12-13, these effects lead to persistent pollutants, notably PCB, HCHs, and DDTs, being accumulating in consumer species like fishes and ultimately in humans ( Van der Oost et al 2003;Kelly et al 2007). A similar pair of effects is well known for the heavy metals contaminating waters and soils (e.g., Goodyear and McNeill 1999;Van Vliet et al 2006). This effect constitutes a menace for both (1) ecosystem health and their capacity to support human communities with ecosystem goods and services and (2) human health.…”

Landfills continue to represent the most frequent managerial practice for municipal solid wastes and an increasing and complex problem globally. In certain countries, a transition to an open society and free market is superimposed on the transition to sustainability, resulting in even higher complexity of management. This paper proposes an approach for problem-structuring of landfills in complex transitions: sustainability or unsustainability of a management approach is determined by a set of sustainability filters that are defined by sets of indicators and prioritized according the systemic concept of sustainability, which says that economy is embedded in society, which is embedded in nature. The writers exercise this approach with an old landfill in Iasi, Romania, and conclude for unsustainability, because the ecological sustainability filter is not successfully passed. Social and economic sustainability filters are also discussed in relation with the ecological sustainability indicators. The described approach allows a coherent, transdisciplinary synthesis of knowledge scattered across various disciplines, a pervasive problem in landfill management. The case study helps distinguish between generally true and contextdependent aspects.

“…The accumulation and transport of heavy metals in a treatment system is primarily influenced by six mechanisms: (1) dissolution and precipitation, (2) sorption to extracellular biopolymers and wastewater/leachate particles [7], (3) bio-sorption to microbial cell walls [8], (4) complexation with dissolved organic matter (DOM), (5) bio-accumulation within microbial cells [9] and (6) microbial activities such as sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) producing H 2 S [10].…”
