Postmortem interval (PMI) estimation is a challenging task in forensic investigations. PMI assessment frequently requires the application of the currently available methods which can lead to unsatisfactory results due to the poor accuracy of time int...

Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2025.144277

Sewage sludges applied to agricultural soils are sources of microplastic pollution, however, little is known about the accumulation, persistence, or degradation of these microplastics over time. This is the first study to provide long-term, high temp... Read More about Microplastics in agricultural soils following sewage sludge applications: evidence from a 25-year study..
