Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, vol. 345, pp. 108339, 2023, (ACL). @article{OConnor2023, Trees in alley-cropping systems (AC) were reported to develop deeper fine roots compared to forest trees and that they can modify soil water (SWC), mineral nitrogen (SMN) and organic matter (SOM) content. However, intercropping young trees has not been studied extensively. This study aimed to count tree fine roots abundance (TFRA) along a chronosequence of AC stands, to determine factors explaining its variability and to highlight its effects on soil resources. Seventeen alley-cropping plots ranging from 3 to 12 years old were chosen on farms in northern France. TFRA was measured by the core break method using soil samples collected at 0, 1, 3 and 10 m from a referent tree (a maple, a hybrid walnut or a hornbeam) down to 2 m depth. Before four years old, tree fine roots colonized the topsoil (0–30 cm) in rows and then mainly grew vertically from 4 to 6 years old, before laterally exploring deep soil layer (1–2 m) beyond this age. Stepwise analyses showed that stand age, tillage frequency and crop rotation duration explained 60 % of the variability of the sum of TFRA calculated for all soil layers at all distances from the tree row. The SWC was negatively correlated to TFRA suggesting that as trees get older, they dried the deep soil layer below the crop rooting zone and increased the soil depth able to store autumn and winter rainfall. No significant effect of either stand age or distance from tree rows was observed for SMN. It varied significantly with soil depth (R² = 0.3***) and was strongly correlated with soil nitrate content (R² = 0.97***). The soil ammonium content was significantly correlated with TFRA, suggesting that tree fine roots favor ammonium production or accumulation in soil, which may potentially allow for a reduction in the mineral nitrogen (N) mobility for leaching. Finally, we found a significantly high SOM correlated with TFRA only in topsoil on the tree rows at our oldest stands. No change of SOM was observed in the deep soil layer regardless of stand age. From this study, we concluded that fine root plasticity of intercropped trees occurred at early stage and may contribute with age to a better use of soil water, to managing the soil mineral N dynamic and to sequestrating carbon, at least in tree rows. |

(hop) collected in situ in northern France Phytochemistry, vol. 225, pp. 113508, 2023, (ACL). @article{Paguet2023, Highlights •50 wild hops from the North of France were genetically and chemically characterized. •Microsatellite-based study underlined high polymorphism among wild hop accessions. •Volatile compound analysis showed minor but original metabolites in wild hops. •Wild hops differ from commercial varieties in their high β-acid content and metabolomic diversity. •Multifactorial analysis suggested a potential terroir effect to explain this chemodiversity. The hop plant (Humulus lupulus L.) has been exploited for a long time for both its brewing and medicinal uses, due in particular to its specific chemical composition. These last years, hop cultivation that was in decline has been experiencing a renewal for several reasons, such as a craze for strongly hopped aromatic beers. In this context, the present work aims at investigating the genetic and chemical diversity of fifty wild hops collected from different locations in Northern France. These wild hops were compared to ten commercial varieties and three heirloom varieties cultivated in the same sampled geographical area. Genetic analysis relying on genome fingerprinting using 11 microsatellite markers showed a high level of diversity. A total of 56 alleles were determined with an average of 10.9 alleles per locus and assessed a significant population structure (mean pairwise FST = 0.29). Phytochemical characterization of hops was based on volatile compound analysis by HS-SPME GC-MS, quantification of the main prenylated phenolic compounds by UHPLC-UV as well as untargeted metabolomics by UHPLC-HRMS and revealed a high level of chemical diversity among the assessed wild accessions. In particular, analysis of volatile compounds revealed the presence of some minor but original compounds, such as aromadendrene, allo-aromadendrene, isoledene, β-guaiene, α-ylangene and β-pinene in some wild accessions; while analysis of phenolic compounds showed high content of β-acids in these wild accessions, up to 2.37% of colupulone. Genetic diversity of wild hops previously observed was hence supported by their chemical diversity. Sample soil analysis was also performed to get a pedological classification of these different collection sites. Results of the multivariate statistical analysis suggest that wild hops constitute a huge pool of chemical and genetic diversity of this species. |

Uncontaminated and artificially contaminated CuSO4 soils, unamended and ZIL-amended soil modalities were designed. The copper/ZIL molar ratio (1/4) introduced was rationally established based on molecular modeling and on the maximal copper concentration in artificially contaminated soil. Higher accumulation of copper in the shoots was detected for the uncontaminated and copper contaminated ZIL amended V soils (18.9 and 23.3 mg.kg−1, respectively) contrary to G soils together with a ZIL concentration of around 3% w/w detected by LC-MS analyses. These data evidenced a Cu-accumulation improvement of 38 and 66% compared to non-amended V soils (13.6 and 13.9 mg.kg−1 respectively). ZIL would be mainly present under Cu(II)-ZIL4 complexes in the shoots. The impact on the chemical composition of shoot were also studied. The results show that depending on the soils modalitity, the presence of free copper and/or ZIL led to different chemical compositions in lignin and monomeric sugar contents. In the biorefinery context, performances of enzymatic hydrolysis of shoots were also related to the presence of both ZIL and copper under free or complex forms. Ecotoxicity assessment of the vineyard soil samples indicated that the quantity of copper and ZIL remaining in the soils had no significant toxicity. ZIL amendment in a copper-contaminated soil was demonstrated as being a promising way to promote the valorization of phytoremediation plants. |

This report describes the chemical efforts to enrich the pyroglutamide series using greener and recyclable catalysts. The central reaction studied was an amidation between methyl pyroglutamates or vinylogues and amines. Ten catalysts have been tested in this amidation reaction: two classical Lewis acids (ZnCl2, ZrCl4), four impregnated montmorillonite K10 with ZnCl2 namely Cat1, Cat2, Cat3 and Cat4 (not activated, activated at 120 °C, 280 °C and 500 °C, respectively) and four montmorillonites K10 (commercial montmorillonite K10 not activated, activated at 120 °C, 280 °C and 500 °C). The most efficient catalyst was Cat4. The recyclability of Cat4 over five synthesis runs has been successfully tested. Twenty-six amides were synthesized and screened for their potential to inhibit human farnesyltransferase. Four points of chemical modulation around the pyrrolidine-2-one ring have been realized allowing to complete structure-activity relationships in these series. The study revealed several potent inhibitors targeting human farnesyltransferase in vitro with IC50 values in the submicromolar range and down to 30 nM. The docking of compounds in the active site of FTase highlighted that the S-isomers of pyroglutamides had good affinity. This study propels pyroglutamide derivatives as promising candidates for future functionality assays and in vivo evaluation. |

Both private and community gardens in these areas are often on urban wastelands, along roads, highways, or railways, near industrial sites, and have even sometimes earned the term “guerrilla gardens” for their lack of agronomic regulation. In France, many urban gardens are associated with varying levels of inorganic contaminants hailing from anthropogenic activity or geogenic metal(loid) presence. Moderately metal(loid)- contaminated urban kitchen garden soils can benefit from gentle remediation options including the use of soil amendments, which are able to improve soil function and agronomic quality while decreasing environmental and human health risk. This study first analyses the effects of common doses of a various commercialized soil amendments on the mobility of metalloid(s) in contaminated urban kitchen garden soils. Fourteen different amendments and amendment mixes were tested on three kitchen garden soils with diverse sources of anthropogenic or geogenous contamination and varying physico-chemical characteristics. Amendments from four differing categories were tested, including i) organic amendments like composts, ii) natural fertilizers such as bone meal, crushed horn, and organic poultry manure fertilizer, iii) calcareous amendments including two different limes, and iv) natural siliceous and alumino-silicate amendments, including diatomaceous earth and zeolite. Amendments at varying common doses were evaluated via chemical extractions on their ability to reduce the mobility of metallic elements after multiple weeks of maturation at a constant humidity and temperature. The most pertinent of these amendments were then chosen to be tested in conjunction with a vegetal model grown upon the amended soils in greenhouse conditions. 05.09.– 09.09 2022 Berlin, Germany Changes in physico-chemical soil characteristics, mobility and bioaccessibility of metal(loid)s in the soil, and phytoavailability in the lettuce were then tested. Mobility and bioaccessible metal(loid)s were evaluated with 0.05 M EDTA buffered at a pH of 7, an ammonium nitrate extraction, a 4-phase sequential extraction, and a UBM bioaccessibility test. Phytoavailability was determined using pseudo-total soil and plant metal(loid) contents. The study results show that it is possible to reduce both extractable and phytoavailable metal(oid)s with amendment addition. However, variable effects are seen according to the contaminated soil tested, and differences arise in the presence of a plant model. |

The sorption experiments have been conducted through lab-engineered cartridge filtration system in order to get as close as possible to industrial processes. The effectiveness of IW1 and IW2 were compared to that of activated charcoal Norit® (AC), the best-known matrix for its excellent retention capacity. The sorption isotherms of metals on the three solid sorbents (IW1, IW2 and AC) were built, and then mathematically modelled. Free Gibbs energy (ΔG°) of the sorption processes as well as the equilibrium parameter (RL) have been calculated for each pollutant-sorbent couple. The study revealed that: i) for cadmium sorption, IW2 was much more effective than IW1 and especially than AC (18-fold higher in term of maximal sorption capacity); ii) if IW2 was slightly less effective than AC to retain lead, it can be still considered as an interesting sorbent due to its low cost; iii) the sorption of cadmium was as spontaneous on AC as on IW1, and almost half as much on IW2; iv) regarding lead retention, the sorption on the three sorbents was spontaneous; (v) the retention of cadmium and lead was mainly explained by precipitation since otavite, cerussite and hydrocerussite were identified and characterized by X-ray diffraction of used sorbents. The study showed that the industrial wastes studied stood out as new efficient materials with sorption power equal to or greater than the reference material AC. The prospect of a new generation of industrial wastes with lasting efficiency as contaminated water depollution agents comes at a key moment in the search for new perspectives in the circular economy. |

The biomass of this nonfood crop was from a highly contaminated agricultural soil by potentially toxic metals (Cd, Pb and Zn) with the aim of maintaining the agricultural vocation of these soils. In this perspective and in view of the metal concentration (Cd, Pb, Zn, macro- and micro-nutrients), the biomass of ryegrass was considered as a bio ’ore’ resource and was used as the starting material for the preparation of contemporary biosourced catalysts. The heterogeneous catalyst from the current work was successfully used in the synthesis of Moclobemide, used to treat anxiety and major depressive episodes. Through this original approach, Moclobemide was synthesized in one step, in 80% yield under solvent-free conditions. |

The temperature and the process used to extract metals from plant as mixture of Lewis acids were investigated in detail and proved to be essential in the design of the biosourced catalysts and their catalytic efficiency. One part of the crude mixture of Lewis acids extracted from the aerial parts of miscanthus plants was used without further treatment as a homogeneous biocatalyst (M1), and the other part was supported on montmorillonite K10 to provide a heterogeneous biocatalyst (MM1). M1 and MM1 were next tested in the synthesis of moclobemide (main ingredient of a drug used to treat depression) and led to excellent yield. Additional comparative experiments with different commercial metallic salts (NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, MgCl2, CuCl2, ZnCl2, FeCl2, FeCl3, MnCl2, and AlCl3) and their mixtures were carried out and underlined the importance of the multimetallic synergy on catalytic activity. Finally, a comparison of this new synthetic method assisted by the biosourced catalyst with the previously described procedures to access moclobemide was realized by calculating their green chemistry metrics. This study revealed that the use of the biosourced catalyst led to one of the greenest synthetic methods described today to produce moclobemide. |

In the current work, the energy crop miscanthus (Miscanthus × giganteus) was grown in ex situ conditions on agricultural soils presenting a Cd, Pb and Zn contamination gradient. After 93 days of culture, shoot and root growth parameters were measured. Soils and plants were sampled as well to study the TE accumulation in miscanthus and the effects of this plant on TE mobility in soils. Results demonstrated that miscanthus growth depended more on the soils silt content rather than TE-contamination level. Moreover, soil organic carbon at T93 increased in the soils after miscanthus cultivation by 25.5–45.3%, whereas CaCl2-extractible TEs decreased due to complex rhizosphere processes driving plant mineral uptake, and organic carbon inputs into the rhizosphere. In the contaminated soils, miscanthus accumulated Cd, Pb and Zn mainly in roots (BCF in roots: Cd " Zn > Pb), while strongly reducing the transfer of these elements from soil to all organs and from roots to rhizomes, stems and leaves (average TFs: 0.01–0.06, 0.11–1.15 and 0.09–0.79 corresponding to Cd, Pb and Zn respectively). Therefore, miscanthus could be considered a TE-excluder, hence a potential candidate crop for coupling phytostabilization and biomass production on the studied Metaleurop TE-contaminated soils. |

At the end of the experiment, trace element (TE) concentrations were determined using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The growth of individuals was calculated and compared among the treatments. From the first week until the end of the experiment, a weight gain was observed in P. laevis individuals. Additionally, the TE concentrations in the hepatopancreas and in the rest of the body were considerable and seem to be dose dependent. Moreover, our results confirmed the role of the hepatopancreas as the main storage organ. Thus, the conducted transmission electron microscopy highlighted remarkable alterations on the hepatopancreas cells resulting from the Cd and Zn bioaccumulation. The displayed alterations are principally the disorganization of the S- and B-cells leading to a destruction of the microvilli border, an increase of the lipid droplets and mitochondria as well as the appearance of trace elements in the form of B-type granules. Based on the obtained results herein, we can conclude that Porcellio laevis might be a good candidate in the prevention of TE pollution in the terrestrial ecosystems. |

From the first week until the end of the experiment, a weight gain in P. laevis was observed particularly between the first and the end of exposure from 93.3?±?18.22?mg fw to 105.22?±?16.16?mg fw and from 106.4?±?22.67?mg fw to 125.9?±?23.9 mg fw for Mix1 and Mix4, respectively. Additionally, the determined metal trace elements (MTE) concentrations in the hepatopancreas were considerably higher compared to those in the rest of the body and seem to be dose-dependent. Using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), some alterations were highlighted in the hepatopancreas. The main observed alterations were (a) the destruction of the microvilli border in a considerable portion of cells, (b) the increase of the lipid droplets with different shapes and sizes, (c) the increase in the number of the mitochondria, and (d) the appearance of TE in the form of B-type granules. The obtained results confirmed the ability of P. laevis to deal with high amounts of MTE, suggesting its possible use in future soil's biomonitoring programs. |

They were used as amendments at a 2% application rate on soil, cultivated or not cultivated with ryegrass, contaminated with (i) metals (Cd, Pb, and Zn), (ii) eight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and (iii) a mix of metals and PAHs. The objectives were (i) to compare the effectiveness of the five biochars on soil parameters and pollutant availability and (ii) to determine the influence of soil multicontamination and ryegrass cultivation on biochar effectiveness. The results showed that biochar application did not necessarily lead to lower pollutant extractability and metal bioaccessibility. However, differences were highlighted between the biochars. The miscanthus biochars produced at 600 °C (BM600) showed higher effectiveness at decreasing metal extractability than the miscanthus biochars produced at 400 °C (BM400) due to its better sorption characteristics. In addition, ryegrass cultivation did not impact pollutant availability but modified metal bioaccessibility, especially for the soil amended with the BM600 and the woody biochar. Moreover, the presence of PAHs also negatively impacted the metal bioaccessibility in the soil amended with the BM600, and, on the contrary, positively impacted it in the soil amended with the BM400. Complementary studies are therefore necessary to understand the mechanisms involved, particularly in a context where soils requiring remediation operations are often multicontaminated and vegetated. |

In urban areas, these soils can be contaminated to various degrees by trace element (TE). They are characterized by a great variability in their physicochemical parameters due to the high anthropization level, the wide variety and combination of disturbance sources, aswell as the diversity of cultivation practices and the large range of contamination levels. Pollutants can be taken up by vegetables cultivated in these soils and be concentrated in their edible parts. In this review, the behavior of vegetables cultivated in contaminated kitchen gardens is assessed through six examples of the most widely cultivated vegetables (lettuce, tomato, bean, carrot, radish, potato). The role of soil parameters that could influence the uptake of As, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, and Zn by these vegetables is also discussed. |

The synthetic strategy involves a solvent-free aminolysis reaction catalyzed by zinc-containing species (ZnCl2, montmorillonite K10 (MK10) impregnated with ZnCl2 or eco-catalysts). The latter have been prepared from the aerial parts of Lolium perenne L. plants grown on contaminated soils from northern France without and with thermal activation at 120 °C and supported on MK10 (Ecocat1 and Ecocat2, respectively). The best aminolysis catalysts in the current study (ZnCl2 and Ecocat2) were selected for additional aminolyses. Compared to ZnCl2, Ecocat2 had the advantage of being reusable over five test runs and constituted a sustainable catalyst allowing a green route to idrocilamide. Synthesized derivatives 1–4, 6 and 9 were first evaluated for their effect on reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation from macrophages and displayed antioxidant properties by preventing ROS production. Next, the analysis of the effect of molecules 1–4, 6 and 9 on macrophage migration between epithelial cells to human opportunistic fungus Candida albicans indicated that molecules 2–4, 6 and 9 exert anti-inflammatory properties via reducing macrophage migration while the parent idrocilamide (1) did not show any significant effect. This work opens the way for the discovery of new analogues of idrocilamide with improved properties. |

Cd, Pb, Zn, and Cu concentrations were measured in soils, leaf litter, and P. pruinosus individuals, collected from four stations located at different distances from the factory. Results showed that heavy metal concentrations in soils varied from one site to another and did not reflect those measured in individuals. In contrast, a positive correlation was found between the isopods’ body length and the distance from the pollution source, revealing the isopod sensitivity to the soil metal concentrations. The bioaccumulation factor was calculated using soil and leaf litter as a solid support with the aim of ordering the metal accumulation in P. pruinosus for each site. Overall, P. pruinosus could be defined as a macroconcentrator of Cd, Zn, and Cu (BAF>2) and as a deconcentrator of Pb (BAF<1). |

To refine the methods of exposure and risk assessment, it is relevant to use bioaccessible concentrations of metal(loid)s determined via in vitro digestion methods. However, some validated methods are complex and costly, involving high technical skills and numerous reagents. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the suitability of four simple chemical extractions to mimic the bioaccessible fraction of As, Cd, and Pb in the gastric (G) and gastrointestinal (GI) phases obtained using the validated UBM (unified bioaccessibility method) test. Acetic acid (0.11 M), citric acid (0.11M), EDTA (0.16 M), and hydrochloric acid (HCl, 0.65%)were separately tested in 201 soil sampleswith a wide range of physicochemical parameters and metal(loid)s concentrations. Significant linear relationships were observed with HCl, EDTA, and to a lesser extent with citric acid. For the cheaper HCl method, correlations with the UBM ranged from 0.91 to 0.99 for the G phase and from 0.72 to 0.97 for the GI phase. This test can be used at least as a first-tier screening to assess the oral bioaccessibility of As, Cd, and Pb. |

Labcreated cartridges were filled with each sorbent and all experiments were systematically compared to activated charcoal Norit®. Results from activated charcoal, wheat straw and acidified wheat straw were supported by the Langmuir and Freundlich models. Wheat straw ashes were an excellent metal extractor that exceeded the potential of well-known activated charcoal. Acidified sorbents (wheat and ryegrass) were very effective in eliminating the selected emerging organic contaminants displaying equipotent or superior activity compared to activated charcoal. These results open the way for further in natura studies by proposing new biosource materials as new effective tools in the fight against water pollution. |

The concentration of potentially toxic elements was generally higher in stems than in leaves. Although P-fertilizers were added to contaminated soils under sustainable conditions (from 0.022% to 0.026% w/w), the average of leaf and stem biomass generally increased in the presence of P-fertilizers due to the changes in the speciation of phosphorus. Leaves of the investigated miscanthus may be of great interest as a catalyst in organic chemistry, since the Ca concentration was up to 9000 mg kg−1 DW. Stems represent a potential biomass that can be used as renewable resource of Lewis acids, currently used in organic syntheses (the sum of Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe, Mg, Si and Al was near 1000 mg kg−1 DW). The percentage of Cd and Pb in leaves and stems of miscanthus did not significantly change with P-fertilizers. Depending on the mesocosm and field experiments, it ranged from 0.004% to 0.016% and from 0.009% and 0.034% for Cd in leaves and stems, respectively, and from 0.004% to 0.015% and from 0.009% and 0.033% for Pb in leaves and stems, respectively. |

Its late harvest in winter generates large amounts of leaf litter on the soil surface. However, little is known about the mobility and the bioavailability of metals following leaf decomposition and the consequences on the succeeding culture. Ex situ artificial aging for 1, 3, and 6 months was conducted with miscanthus leaf fragments incorporated into three agricultural soils displaying a gradient concentration in Cd (0.6, 3.1 and 7.9 mg kg−1), Pb (32.0, 194.6 and 468.6 mg kg−1), and Zn (48.4, 276.3 and 490.2 mg kg−1) to simulate the leaf litter input over 20 years of miscanthus culture. We investigated the impacts on physicochemical and biological soil parameters, CaCl2-extractable metal, and their subsequent ryegrass shoot concentrations, and hence on ryegrass health. The results showed that the amended soils possessed higher pH along with greater available phosphorous and soil organic carbon values. The respiratory activity and microbial biomass carbon in the amended soils increased mainly after 1 month of aging, and decreased afterwards. Despite the higher Pb- and Zn–CaCl2 extractability in the amended soils, the phytoavailability slightly increased only in the most contaminated soils. Moreover, leaf incorporation did not affect the ryegrass biomass, photosynthetic pigment contents, nor the antioxidative enzyme activities. Conclusively, leaf incorporation induced slight variations in soil physicochemical and biological parameters, as well as metal extractability, but not to an extent that might cause a considerable threat to the subsequent culture. Nevertheless, these results are preliminary data that require confirmation by long-term in-situ experimentations as they reflect the modelization of long-term impact of leaf decomposition on soil-plant system. |

In this sense, biomass of ryegrass was produced under greenhouse on two contaminated garden soils that have been amended with two successive additions of phosphates. After the first addition of phosphates, seeds of ryegrass were sown and shoots were harvested twice. A second seedling was performed after carefully mixing the roots from the first production (used as compost), soils and phosphates. Forty-eight weeks after starting the experiments, the concentrations of Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mn extracted using the rhizosphere-based method were generally lower than those measured before the addition of phosphates and cultivation (except for Pb and Fe in the most contaminated soil). The concentrations of metals in the shoots of ryegrass from the second production were lower than those from the first (except for Al). The best results were obtained with phosphates and were the most relevant in the lowest contaminated soil, demonstrating that the available metal concentrations have to be taken into account in the management of contaminated soils. In view of the concentration of metals defined as carcinogens, mutagens, and reprotoxics (e.g., Cd, Pb) and those capable to be transformed into Lewis acids (e.g., Zn, Fe), the utilization of ryegrass in the revegetation of contaminated soils and in risk management may be a new production of marketable biomass. The development of phytomanagement in combination with this type of biomass coincided with the view that contaminated soils can still represent a valuable resource that should be used sustainably. |

To better assess the local population's exposure to Cd and Pb induced by the past activities of a lead smelter, a participatory program was initiated in 115 private kitchen gardens located in northern France to assist gardeners in understanding their soil environment. The challenge included contributing to the database of urban garden soils with the collection of a large number of samples: 1525 crops grouped into 12 types (leaf, fruiting, root, stem and bulbous vegetables, tubers, cabbages, leguminous plants, celeriac, fresh herbs, fruits, and berries), 708 topsoils, and 52 samples of self-produced compost. The main results were as follows: (i) topsoils were strongly contaminated by Cd and Pb compared to regional reference values; (ii) great variability in physicochemical parameters and metal concentrations in topsoils; (iii) the highest concentrations of Cd and Pb for celeriac and fresh herbs and the lowest for fruits and fruiting vegetables; (iv) a high percentage of vegetables that did not comply with the European foodstuff legislation; and (v) most self-produced compost samples were strongly contaminated. This study aimed to raise awareness and generate functional recommendations to reduce human exposure and to provide useful data that could be considered in other environmental contexts. |

Phosphates were added in sustainable quantities in order to reduce the environmental availability of carcinogenic metals (e.g., Cd and Pb) and to enhance the bioavailability of alkali and alkaline earth metals as well as micronutrients needed by plants. Addition of Ca(H2PO4)2 was the most convenient way to (i) limit the concentration of Cd and Pb, (ii) keep constant the transfer of macro- and micronutrient from the soil to the ryegrass shoots, (iii) decrease the availability of metals, and (iv) increase the ratio values between potential Lewis acids and Cd or Pb in order to produce biosourced catalysis. For instance, the real phytoavailability was reduced by 27%–57% and 64.2%–94.8% for Cd and Pb, respectively. Interestingly, the real phytoavailability of Zn was the highest in the least contaminated soils. Even if soils were highly contaminated, no visual toxicity symptoms were recorded in the growing ryegrasses. This indicates that ryegrass is suitable for the revegetation of contaminated gardens. To promote the sustainable ryegrass production on contaminated soils for production of new organic fragrance and drugs in green processes according to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation, two processes should be recommended: assisted phytostabilization of the elements, and then assisted phytoextraction by using chelators.

To limit health risks and to improve the soil quality, a study using calcium phosphates (monocalcium phosphate, dicalcium phosphate and a mixture of both salts) and Lolium perenne L was conducted. Through this preliminary investigation, we will try to shed some light about (i) the effects of a sustainable amount of calcium phosphates on the agronomic, biological (microbial and fungi communities) and physiological parameters (chlorophyll a and b, antocyanins, carotenoids) as well as the phytoavailability of potentially toxic metals and nutrients in time, and (ii) the potential use of contaminated biomass from ryegrass as a source of new valorisation ways instead of using it as contaminated compost by gardeners. Although slight variations in pH and significant increases of assimilable phosphorus after adding calcium phosphates were registered, the physiology of plants and the biological parameters were statistically unchanged. The germination of the ryegrass seeds was favoured with calcium phosphates regardless the contamination level of the studied soils. No clear effects of calcium phosphates on the microbial and fungi communities were detected. In contrast, results indicated relationships between the physicochemical parameters of soils, their contamination level and the composition of fungal communities. Indeed, for one of the soils studied, calcium could limit the transport of nutrients, causing an increase in fungi to promote again the transfer of nutrients. Surprisingly, the phytoavailability of Pb increased in the most contaminated soil after adding dicalcium phosphate and the mixture of phosphates whereas a slight decrease was highlighted for Cd and Mn. Although minor changes in the phytoavailability of potentially toxic metals were obtained using calcium phosphates, the ability of ryegrass to accumulate Zn and Ca (up to 600 and 20,000 mg kg−1, respectively) make possible to qualify this plant as a bio ‘ore’ resource. |

The environmental availability of PTEs was evaluated using a potential plant for revegetation of contaminated soils (ryegrass) and a mixture of low molecular weight organic acids. Despite the highest contamination level of B, the concentration of metals was highest in the ryegrass shoots grown on A for the two harvests. These results correlated well with those obtained using low molecular weight organic acids for Cd, Zn and Cu, whereas this mixture failed to represent the transfer of nutrients due to the presence of biological and physiological mechanisms. The statistical differences between the biomass of ryegrass obtained at the first and the second harvests were attributed to the decrease of available potassium, implicated in the growth and development of plants. Phosphates increased the ratios Zn/Cd, Zn/Pb and Zn/Cu up to 176 ± 48, 38 ± 6 and 80 ± 12, respectively, and made possible the reduction of the concentration of Cd and Pb in the shoots of ryegrass by 22% and 25%, respectively. The concentration of Zn in the shoots of ryegrass from the first and the second harvests grown on soil A were in the range 1050–2000 mg kg−1, making this plant a potential biomass to (i) produce biosourced catalysts for organic chemistry applications in a circular economy concept and (ii) limit human exposure to commercial Lewis acids. A preliminary application was identified. |

Depending on potentially toxic elements and their concentration, ryegrass shoots accumulate these elements in sufficient quantity to be used as a catalyst in organic synthesis. The analysis of Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Al in ashes issued from the calcination of ryegrass shoots revealed that the concentration of Zn was highest (>7000 mg kg–1). The ratios between potential Lewis acids (Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Al) to carcinogenic metals (Cd or Pb) were 191 ± 7 for LA/Cd and 235 ± 13 for LA/Pb, making the shoots of ryegrass suitable for the production of Zn-rich polymetallic biosourced catalysts. This material was used in the synthesis of idrocilamide under free-solvent condition, providing the drug in a good yield (69.9%). Data show that a limitation of waste, a maximization of the material incorporation in the process, a minimization of the steps, and an optimization of the stoichiometric factor are the main innovative factors in the current process in comparison with those previously reported. |

It generally uses less demanding tree species such as maple, poplar, and black locust. However, it is important to consider the rate of accumulation of metals in the leaves as well as their location (leaf blade/petiole) together with the contents of cell wall compounds (hemicelluloses, cellulose, lignin). These two aspects are likely not only to have repercussions on the decomposition of litter but also to lead to a possible transfer ofmetal contamination into the food chain via soil decomposers/detritivorous. A successful phytoremediation is therefore the result of compromise: no tree species can meet all these criteria. The results obtained show that poplar is not recommended due to a high accumulation of Cd and Zn. The most appropriate species among our 3 studied species, which seem the most suitable in terms of remediation of metal polluted soils, could be the black locust and the maple which are less susceptible to contribute to the transfer of exogenous metals such as Cd to the trophic chain. However, maple strongly accumulates Pb in the leaf blade and it is susceptible to degrade quickly due to its high hemicelluloses and cellulose contents and low lignin content. The black locust accumulates metals mainly in the petiole (little consumed by detritivorous). However, its exotic character and high lignin content may limit the interest of its use. |
2018Journal Article ER4 Auteurs : Waterlot, Christophe Alternative approach to the standard, measurements and testing programme used to establish phosphorus fractionation in soils Analytica Chimica Acta, vol. 1003, pp. 26-33, 2018, (ACL). @article{Waterlot2018, The fractionation of phosphorus in 9 soils was established according to the standards, measurements and testing (SMT) programme. Five fractions were so defined and phosphorus was analysed by spectrophotometry. In parallel, the phosphorus extracted in each fraction was determined using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) after validation of this technique using certified reference materials. Phosphorus in soils was named total phosphorus, inorganic and organic phosphorus, apatite and non-apatite inorganic phosphorus, depending on extractants. The use of both analytical techniques revealed differences between the concentration of phosphorus in soluble extracts and highlighted the fact that spectrophotometry was a selective analytical technique. In view of the resourceand time-consuming of the SMT procedure and the results obtained in the present study, an alternative method was proposed to estimate the fractionation of phosphorus in soil in order to precise the potential effects of phosphorus on plant nutrition when plant biomass is produced as part of metal-contaminated soil management.

Most of them are located in France, notably in Northern France where numerous habitants live due to the high past industrial activities (mining, metallurgical, inorganic and organic chemistry). Consequently, environmental and sanitary problems like degradation and perturbation of soil activities (loss of the biodiversity…), non-compliant agricultural commodity, production of contaminated vegetables, lead poisoning and different types of symptoms in relation with metal human exposure were highlighted. This explains why the management of these contaminated soils (agricultural, urban and forest) is a great concern in the Hauts-de-France region and particularly in the contaminated area affected by the dust emission of two former lead and zinc smelters.Physical and chemical techniques (soil removal, soil washing, electrokinetic…) are widely used to remediate contaminated soils. However, most of them are expensive and destructive (fauna and flora are highly impacted and the resulting soils are often non-productive).To avoid the dispersion of contaminated soil particles, to restore contaminated sites and ecosystems and to maintain an economic activity in this area, an environmental friendly management based on the concept of assisted-phytoremediation and assisted-phytoextraction was studied. From this approach, the first interest was to immobilise the carcinogenic metals (Cd, Pb) and the second was to increase non-carcinogenic metal uptake by plants in order to elaborate new heterogeneous catalysts (called ecocatalysts) from the plant biomass. These bio-sourced catalysts were used in organic synthesis to produce pharmaceuticals taking into account the green chemistry concept. It was highlighted that these new catalysts were reusable, increased the reaction yields while minimizing the production of waste. |

Physicochemical parameters such as pH, organic matter and CaCO3 contents were measured in soils. Moreover, Cd, Pb, Zn, and Cu concentrations were determined in both soils and woodlice. Additionally, 10 metrical traits were measured to evaluate the type of asymmetry on individuals: the basis, the second and the third articles of the antenna, the first article of the flagellum of the antenna and the merus, the carpus, and the propodus of the sixth and the seventh pereopods. Among the 531 measured individuals, 432 exhibited fluctuating asymmetry (FA) while the remaining individuals exhibited antisymmetry or directional asymmetry. The data obtained were analyzed using a multivariate statistical analysis. Contrary to our hypothesis, the results showed that individuals from contaminated sites have a low FA level, whereas those from uncontaminated sites have a high FA level, particularly females but with some exceptions. Variations in FA level in the traits and populations studied and its usefulness as a stress indicator were discussed. |

Samples were air-dried and crushed to pass through a 10-mm stainless steel sieve. Due to the high heterogeneity of garden soils in the studied area, much attention have been paid on the homogeneity of soil samples. After this step, the mass of sampled soils (48 kg) was divided to obtain four subsamples Each of them was divided in six replicates, unamended or amended using dicalcium phosphate (DCP) or monocalcium phosphate (MCP) or a mixture of these two compounds (MxP=75%DCP+25%MCP) The phosphorous amendments were added into the soil in small quantity (0.02 %) with the aim at reducing the environmental availability of carcinogenic metals and to increase the Zn availability (Figure 1) After the stabilisation period (2 months) in a greenhouse, 1 5 g of ryegrass seeds (Lolium perenne L.) were sown in the 24 containers. Eight weeks after sowing, ryegrass shoots were harvested, oven-dried at 40 °C and calcined at 500 °C in a muffle furnace (Nabertherm P330, Lilienthal, Germany). |

Thanks to this chromatographic system, environmental pollutants are being analysed under green conditions. Objective: This paper presents theoretical aspects and a review of the main features of core-shell technology focusing essentially on environmental applications. Method: The main advantages of core-shell columns may be summarized as follows: i) reduction of the eddy dispersion A term; ii) homogeneity of the particle size distribution reducing the velocity bias; (iii) superior mass transfer kinetics; iv) better performance of the separation (faster and greater). Results: Systematic comparisons with fully porous particles undeniably highlighted the benefits of core-shell technology in the separation of a great number of pollutants and “micropollutants” of different molecular weights which surround us and have an impact on the ecosystem. Conclusion: Core-shell particles are emerging as green substrates for the analysis of chemical species problematic for environment. The environmental gain in terms of limitation of analysis time and solvent consumption has been demonstrated. The current manuscript proposes an update of the literature devoted to the use of core-shell particles in environmental applications. Future trends in the field and the expectations of the scientific community are also described since increasing attention is being paid to the detection of environmental pollutants. |

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, vol. 190, no. 218, pp. 1-13, 2018, (ACL). @article{Janus2018b, Different remediation techniques have been used to restore metal-contaminated sites, including stabilizing metals by adding amendments to the soils. This study experimented three biochars, made from wood and miscanthus, cultivated on contaminated and uncontaminated soils, used as amendments at a 2% application rate on a metal-contaminated soil for 9 months in laboratory-controlled conditions. The objective was to evaluate whether biochars were able to decrease the availability and human oral bioaccessibility of metals in an alkaline soil. To meet this goal, the modifications of the soil’s physicochemical parameters, metal distribution in soil, and human bioaccessibility were evaluated at different sampling times. The results showed that biochar application to the alkaline soil did not always decrease the soil metal availability, which challenges the value of using biochars in already slightly alkaline soils at a low application rate. However, differences in efficiency between the three biochars tested were highlighted. The biochar produced with miscanthus cultivated on uncontaminated soil led to higher soil metal bioaccessibility. Moreover, because of the absence of any increase in soil metal availability with the biochar produced from biomass cultivated on contaminated soil, the use of such biochars can be recommended for the remediation of contaminated soil. |

Iron particles of such size (nanoscale) were chosen because they can be 10 to 1,000 times highly reactive than the granular particles and their sorption capacity is also much higher. TEM analysis of the synthesized magnetite showed an average particle size of 5 nm and with a generally pretty rounded shape. The pollutants studied were Cd, Pb, Ni and Cu. Two approaches were used; univariate analysis and multivariate analysis using CORICO design. Comparing the three different iron particles studied under four univariate conditions, the removal efficiency of the three iron products can be ranked in the order; magnetite > nano powder > micro particles. For the multivariate analysis, it was observed that the most important condition for remediating metals when using magnetite is the concentration of the magnetite followed by contact time, pH and pollutant concentration, respectively. |

Concentrations of As in the soils were from 10 to 47 mg/kg, mainly in the As(V) form (57%–73%). Concentrations of As in water extracts were very low (61–700 μg/kg). It was suggested that As(III) was mainly in the uncharged species and As(V) in the charged species. Chemometric methods revealed that the values of the ratio As(III)/As(V) depended on the assimilated-phosphorus, the pseudo-total and water-extractable Fe contents and the soil pH. Arsenic concentrations measured in ryegrass shoots ranged from 119 to 1602 μg/kg. Positive linear correlations were obtained between As in ryegrass shoots and water extractable-As. The transfer coefficient of As correlated well with the ratio assimilated-phosphorus/Fe-oxides. As(III) uptake by the shoot of ryegrass was controlled by the organic matter and Fe-oxide contents. |

The phytoavailability of metals is usually evaluated using extracting solutions such as salts, acids or chelates. The purpose of this study was to identify the most significant soil parameters that can be used to predict the concentrations of acetic and citric acid-extractable cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) in contaminated woody habitat topsoils. Multiple linear regression models were established using two analysis strategies and three sets of variables based on a dataset of 260 soil samples. The performance of these models was evaluated using statistical parameters. Cation exchange capacity, CaCO3, organic matter, assimilated P, free Al oxide, sand and the total metal concentrations appeared to be the main soil parameters governing the solubility of Cd, Pb and Zn in acetic and citric acid solutions. The results strongly suggest that the metal solubility in extracting solutions is extractable concentration-dependent since models were overall improved by incorporating a change point. This change point detection method was a powerful tool for predicting extractable Cd, Pb and Zn. Suitable predictions of extractable Cd, Pb and Zn concentrations were obtained, with correlation coefficient (adjusted r) ranging from 0.80 to 0.99, given the high complexity of the woody habitat soils studied. Therefore, the predictive models can constitute a decision-making support tool for managing phytoremediation of contaminated soils, making recommendations to control the potential bioavailability of metals. The relationships between acetic and/or citric acid-extractable concentrations and the concentrations of metals into the aboveground parts of plants need to be predicted, in order to make their temporal monitoring easier. |

Part 2. Influence on plants Science of the Total Environment, vol. 409, pp. 4504-4510, 2011, (ACL). @article{Pourrut2011a, Aided phytostabilisation is a cost-efficient technique to manage metal-contaminated areas, particularly in the presence of extensive pollution. plant establishment and survival in highly metal-contaminated soils are crucial for phytostabilisation success, as metal toxicity for plants is widely reported. a relevant phytostabilisation solution must limit metal transfer through the food chain. therefore, this study aimed at evaluating the long-term efficiency of aided phytostabilisation on former agricultural soils highly contaminated by cadmium, lead, and zinc. the influence of afforestation and fly ash amendments on reducing metal phytoavailability was investigated as were their effects on plant development. before being planted with a tree mix, the site was divided into three plots: a reference plot with no amendment, a plot amended with silico-aluminous fly ash and one with sulfo-calcic fly ash. unlike salix alba and quercus robur, alnus glutinosa, acer pseudoplatanus and robinia pseudoacacia grew well on the site and accumulated, overall, quite low concentrations of metals in their leaves and young twigs. this suggests that these three species have an excluder phenotype for cd, zn and pb. after 8 years, metal availability to a. glutinosa, a. pseudoplatanus and r. pseudoacacia, and translocation to their above-ground parts, strongly decreased in fly ash-amended soils. such decreases fit well together with the depletion of cacl2-extractable metals in amended soils. although both fly ashes were effective to decrease cd, pb and zn concentrations in above-ground parts of trees, the sulfo-calcic ash was more efficient. |

Therefore, Atmospheric Emissions from the Smelter Are Not the Only Cause of the High Contamination of the Woody Habitat Soils. This Last One Is Related to the Nature and the Contamination Level of Deposit in Relation with Human Activities (rubbles, Slag, Soils, Etc). with Regard to the Results Obtained with Chemical Extractions, the Mobility of Cd, Pb and Zn in These Soils Is Also Greater Than in Agricultural Soils. in the Forest, Pollutant Solubility Is Increased by Soil Acidic Ph. the Variability of the Physico-chemical Parameters and the High Metal Contamination of the Topsoils Are the Main Characteristics of the Woody Habitats Located around the Former Smelter. Although Never Taken into Account during Risk Assessment, the Disturbance of These Environmental Components Could Have Important Biogeochemical Impacts (nutrients and Metal Cycles). Moreover, Any Modification of the Soils' Use Could Potentially Cause Mobilization and Transfer of the Pollutants to the Biosphere.

(2008) ont mis en évidence un degré de contamination en cd, pb et zn, mais aussi en bi, in, sb et as des sols urbains du secteur, supérieur à celui des sols agricoles situés dans le même contexte environnemental. ceci pourrait être expliqué par des remaniements et les pratiques des jardiniers, mais aussi par des apports en liaison avec l’utilisation du charbon pour les besoins domestiques. quels que soient leurs usages, les sols aux alentours de metaleurop nord présentent une contamination multi métallique pouvant engendrer des interférences lors du dosage de certains éléments. ainsi, les teneurs en cd mesurées peuvent différer selon les techniques analytiques utilisées. la détermination des teneurs en cd dans les solutions d’extraction en utilisant la spectrométrie d’émission atomique couplée à une torche à plasma (icp-aes : inductively coupled plasma – atomic emission spectrometry) peut présenter des inconvénients. ceux-ci sont particulièrement rencontrés lorsque les matrices digérées présentent des teneurs élevées en fe, en al, mais aussi en as, en comparaison avec celles en cd (lambkin and alloway 2000). c’est notamment le cas des sols aux alentours de metaleurop nord. par ailleurs, les longueurs d’onde 228,802 nm, 214,438 nm et 226,502 nm caractéristiques des raies d’émission de cd définissent celles relatives aux émissions secondaires respectivement de as, al et fe. des interférences spectrales causées par ces éléments au cours du dosage de cd peuvent donc engendrer une surévaluation ou une sous-évaluation des teneurs en cd mesurées (lambkin and alloway 2000). le dosage de cd par spectrométrie d’absorption atomique à la longueur d’onde caractéristique de la raie principale d’absorption de cet élément permet de s’affranchir des interférences spectrales causées par fe et al. cette technique de dosage élimine partiellement les interférences spectrales entre as et cd (lambkin and alloway 2000). en revanche, les caractéristiques des spectromètres d’absorption atomique (saa) ne permettent pas à ce jour de s’affranchir totalement des interférences spectrales entre ces deux éléments, et ceci en raison des longueurs d’onde d’absorption très proches qui les caractérisent (ıcd = 228,802 nm et ıas = 228,812 nm). la présentation porte sur l’évaluation d’une méthode de correction du bruit de fond généré par as au cours du dosage de cd dans les solutions d’extraction de sols urbains présentant des teneurs en as parfois supérieures à celles en cd. localisés à moins de 2 km de l’ancien site métallurgique metaleurop nord, les horizons labourés de 10 sols de potagers ont été échantillonnés. après séchage à une température inférieures à à 40°c, les terres ont été homogénéisées, puis broyées pour passer au travers d’un tamis de 315 μm. des extractions à l’eau ultra pure, au chlorure de calcium 0,01 m et à l’acide citrique 0,11 m ont été réalisées en triplicat sur chacun des échantillons composites. les teneurs en cd et en as des solutions obtenues ont été déterminées par icp-aes aux longueurs d’onde ıcd = 228,802 nm, ııcd = 214,438 nm et ıas = 193,696 nm. la démarche a été complétée par la détermination en saa de leurs teneurs en cd en utilisant deux modes de correction du bruit causée par l’espèce concomitante, as. le premier, appelé bgc-d2 (deuterium background correction) nécessite l’utilisation d’une lampe au deutérium. le second mode, dénommé bgc-sr (self reversal background correction), est basé sur l’utilisation d’une lampe cd à cathode creuse pulsée avec un courant dont l’intensité varie au cours du temps. |
2008Journal Article ER4 Auteurs : Douay, Francis; Pruvot, Christelle; Roussel, Hélène; Ciesielski, Henri; Fourrier, Hervé; Proix, Nicolas; Waterlot, Christophe Contamination of urban soils in an area of Northern France polluted by dust emissions of two smelters Water Air and Soil Pollution, vol. 188, no. 1-4, pp. 247-260, 2008, (ACL). @article{Douay2008, The contamination of 27 urban topsoils has been assessed around two lead and zinc smelters (metaleurop nord and umicore) in the north of france. eighteen trace elements have been analysed (ag, as, bi, cd, co, cr, cu, hg, in, ni, pb, sb, se, sn, tl, th, u and zn). the investigation included the study of the vertical distribution of cd, pb and zn as indicators of pollution. it was shown that cd, in, pb, sb and zn were major pollutants followed in lesser quantities by ag, bi, cu and hg. in addition, as, ni, se, sn and tl were present at levels slightly higher than regional agricultural values. the other elements (co, cr, th and u) were at endogenous levels. the observations have highlighted the strong heterogeneity of the physico-chemical parameters of urban soils and the existence of heavy contamination of the under layers by cd, pb and zn. a potential transfer of metals from the topsoil to the deeper layers and especially cd and zn, is not excluded. indeed the soil rework is not the only factor explaining contamination level of the deeper layers of the studied soils. the comparison of the studied element concentrations in urban soils with nearby local agricultural values shows that the dust emission originating from the metaleurop and umicore smelters were not the only source of contamination. thus a large contamination of the studied urban soils by sb and in could be explained by domestic combustion of coal for heating. |
2008Journal Article ER4 Auteurs : Douay, Francis; Roussel, Hélène; Pruvot, Christelle; Waterlot, Christophe Impact of a smelter closedown on metal contents of wheat cultivated in the neighbourhood Environmental Science and Pollution Research, vol. 15, pp. 162-169, 2008, (ACL). @article{Douay2008b, Background. the contamination of soils by heavy metals engenders important environmental and sanitary problems in northern france where a smelter has been located for more than one hundred of years. it has been one of the most important pb production sites in europe until its closedown in march 2003. ore smelting process generated considerable atmospheric emissions of dust. despite an active environmental strategy, these emissions were still significant in 2002 with up to 17 tonnes of pb, 32 tonnes of zn and 1 tonne of cd. over the years, the generated deposits have led to an important contamination of the surrounding soils. previous studies have shown pollutant transfers to plants, which can induce a risk for human and animal health. the objective of this study was to evaluate the consequences of the smelter closedown on the cd and pb contents of wheat (grain and straw) cultivated in the area. methods. paired topsoil and vegetable samples were taken at harvest time at various distances to the smelter. the sample sites were chosen in order to represent a large range of soil metal contamination. sampling was realised on several wheat harvests between 1997 and 2003. 25 samples were collected before the smelter closedown and 15 after. all ears of about 1 m long of two rows were manually picked and threshed in the lab. similarly, straw was harvested at the same time. total metal contents in soil and wheat samples were quantified. results. a negative correlation between metal concentrations in soil and the distance to the smelter was shown. the wheat grain and straw showed significant cd and pb contents. the straw had higher metal contents than the grain. during the smelter activity, the grain contents were up to 0.8 mg kg–1 dm of cd and 8 mg kg–1 dm of pb. for the straw, maximum contents were 5 mg kg–1 dm of cd and 114 mg kg–1 dm of pb. after the smelter closedown, we observed a very large decrease of pb in the grain (82%) and in the straw (91%). a smaller decrease was observed for cd in grain. despite this improvement, 80% of the studied samples remained non-acceptable for human consumption, according to the european legislation values, due to a high cd content. discussion. results highlighted a difference in metal accumulation in the plant organs as well as a difference in metal uptake. the approach pointed out the importance of atmospheric fallout in the wheat contamination pathways for pb. the smelter closedown has lead to a decrease of the pb content in wheat. it is interesting to relate this finding with the lead blood levels in children living close to the smelter. conclusions. those results have confirmed the importance of dust fallout in the plant contamination pathways. before the closedown, pb measured in the plant was principally originating from the smelter dust emissions. it raised the question of the sanitary risks for humans and animals living in the surrounding area of the smelter. recommendations and perspectives. in the literature, very few articles take the dust deposit as contamination pathways for crops into consideration. however, in highly contaminated sites, this pathway can be very important. thus, it would be worthy studying the uptake of metal contaminants by plants through the foliar system. |
