Organic and inorganic contaminants are entrained into environmental systems through natural and anthropogenic processes, such as mining activities, manufacturing, and waste disposal. In terrestrial and aquatic environments, the contaminant(s) remediation can be achieved by immobilization, thereby inhibiting their dispersal and bioavailability. Mobilization, through leaching and plant uptake, is another process of pollutant rem...

Purpose Extreme weather events including drought, flooding, and wildfires resulting from climate change can impact ecosystems. Various toxic substances are emitted during wildfires, such as particulate matter and volatile organic compounds, as the frequency and intensity of wildfires rise with climate change. This review aims to focus on the effects of wildfires on environmental health covering contaminants in soil, aquatic an...

Purpose of Review This paper offers a thorough overview of the processes of nutrient enrichment by biochar and how biochar as a nutrient carrier can effectively improve agricultural productivity. The distributions of nutrients in biochar and the dynamics of nutrients in soil are also reviewed in detail. Recent Findings The application of biochar improves soil health by changing the soil’s biological and physico-chemical charac...
