Summary

Researchers compared vermicompost alone, Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles alone, and their combination for remediating DEHP-contaminated agricultural soil, finding that the synergistic nano-enhanced bioremediation approach most effectively restored soil health indicators and reduced phthalate toxicity.

Phthalate esters' toxicity, bioaccumulation, and food safety challenges have drawn increased attention to their effects on soil health. This study aimed to improve the agricultural soil health under Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) stress by comparing vermicompost, vermicompost assisted by Fe...
