“…The usage of fertilizers and chemical pesticides in agriculture has a direct relationship with soil toxicity. Because of the adsorption of particles to the soil surface, soil is an important pollution sink [24,[62][63][64]. Leaching of soil pollutants and toxic elements lead to groundwater pollution.…”

“…Organic farming, which prohibits the use of synthetic agrochemicals to ensure long-term sustainability in agricultural systems and biodiversity protection, is frequently touted as an essential alternative to conventional farming. The results of some research showed that organic farming methods cause a lower toxicity and eutrophication per unit of product [19,[21][22][23][24]. Due to its capacity to enhance soil fertility, the use of organic fertilizer may be a sustainable way to raise grain production [25][26][27][28][29].…”

“…The assessment of environmental risks and health damages of rice production can be done by life cycle assessment (LCA) [2]. The LCA technique considers all input and output sources of the whole production system and can be therefore used to analyze the probable impact of agricultural production on the environment from raw material extraction to final product production and disposal [23,24]. Throughout a product's life cycle, LCA develops an inventory of relevant environmental flows and assesses any potential environmental consequences linked with those flows [26].…”

The rising demand for agricultural products and expanding public awareness of environmental friendliness have led to the adoption of the organic farming system rather than the conventional one. The life cycle assessment (LCA) concept is a frequently used method to examine the environmental impacts of any activity across its entire life cycle. This research is the first use of LCA for the impacts of vermicompost and cattle manure as organic fertilizers in rice farming. The main goal of this study was to compare the environmental impacts of conventional and organic rice farming. This paper uses midpoint attributional LCA to analyze environmental damages during rice production. The four primary harm categories used in this strategy to categorize the environmental effects were: (1) climate change, (2) human health, (3) ecosystem quality, and (4) resources. The inventory data for the agricultural stage were obtained through farmer interviews. The system boundaries were set to cradle to farm gate, and 1 ton of final product (dry matter) was used as the functional unit. The results show that in all main damage categories, except for particulate matter formation, stratospheric ozone depletion, mineral resource scarcity, and freshwater eutrophication, conventional rice production has higher environmental impacts than organic rice production. Overall, organic rice production is more effective in diminishing the negative environmental effects of farming compared to conventional rice production.

There are many sectors that are using chemicals and increase their production to meet the needs of people in the world. The domestic, industrial, agriculture, medical and recent technological applications effluents consist of heavy metals that have high density than water and are raising the concerns of potential effects on the environment and also human. The soil samples are collected from Godavari river basin near Rajahmundry in East Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh, to assess the levels of Ni, Fe, Cr, Cu, Zn, Co, Pb, Cd & As to calculate soil PERI. Pearson’s correlation matrix, Contamination factor, Coefficient variations are used for evaluate contamination of pollutants & ecological risk, based on results the accumulation efficiency is very different in soils; most of the samples have high concentration. Contamination factors of heavy metals are in moderate contamination (1 ≤ 3), but the Cd shows as considerable contamination (3 ≤ 5) in Aalamuru-S5, Korumilli -S7 and Kulla-S8 soils samples. The coefficient variation was observed as (CV > 0.36) high variation in heavy metal (Cd > Cu > As > Fe > Co > Zn > Pb > Ni > Cr). Based on results the toxic concentrations are gradually increases in the soil samples due to over usage of chemical fertilizers and may be accumulated into crops, leads to ecological risk, finally agricultural soil are contaminating by heavy metals in our study area.
