ABSTRACT Top soil improvers (TSIs) and reused water from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) represent useful sustainable sources of organic carbon nutrients for agriculture. However, their regular use, emerging Escherichia coli enterophatotypes, particularly Shiga toxin‐producing E. (STEC), were responsible severe foodborne outbreaks contaminated ready‐to‐eat vegetables. We report the hazard characterization 31 top 15 irrigation samples different origins, sampled at farm level....
The sprawl of plants for energy or gas production from renewable sources (RES) on Apulia region poses significant challenges, in order to reconcile the National Energy And Climate Plan and Recovery Resilience targets with actual needs potentiality territory municipalities destined host these important infrastructures.On one hand opposition some population fringes environmental associations, other signing fear by public decisors could stop slow down settlements, synergistically considered...
<title>Abstract</title> The use of reclaimed water from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in agriculture represents a sustainable way to reduce footprint. However, outbreaks linked the consumption contaminated ready-to-eat food (RTE) have frequently been associated with presence foodborne pathogens irrigation water. To deepen hazard characterization used for crop irrigation, and surface samples (n=15), collected Northern Italy spring summer, were analysed via Real Time PCR, before after an...
<title>Abstract</title> Biosolids and reclaimed waters are seen as precious resources to reintroduce organic matter into soils used for agriculture reduce the water footprint of intensive agricultural food system. While circular economy is a virtuous exercise, it cannot be excluded that adoption such practice can introduce vulnerabilities in chain, by exposing crops zoonotic agents antimicrobial resistance determinants. This option far from being speculation evidence start accumulate...
Recycling of bio-wastes originating from Civil Waste-Water Treatment Plants represents a resource for water and nutrients in agriculture also term circular economy driven sustainability resilience to drought due climate changes.However, their regular intense use may cause potential emerging hazards anthropogenic animal origin spread the environment devoted food production, outbreaks, as case pathogenic E. coli ready-to-eat leafy vegetables.In this paper, we propose holistic approach One...
Biowastes of anthropogenic and animal origin, known as “biosolids”, represent useful sources water, inorganic organic compounds for agriculture. However, their regular use Top Soil Improvers (TSIs) may originate food safety non-compliance. The characterization the hazards risks associated with biosolids, including spread pathogens AMR genes, has not been framed in a comprehensive assessment. In this work, 31 biosolids different origin (municipal, zootechnical green waste) were analysed,...
