Abstract

Colloidal contaminants and pathogens are widely distributed in soil, whose tiny sizes and distinct surface properties render unique environmental behaviours. Because of aging, colloids can undergo dramatic changes in their physicochemical properties once in the soil environment, thus leading to diverse or even unpredictable environmental behaviour and fate. Herein, we provide a state‐of‐art review of colloid aging mechanisms and characteristics and implications for risk mitigation. First, we review aging‐induced formation of colloidal contaminants and aging‐associated changes. We place a special focus on emerging nanoplastic (NP) contaminants and associated physical, chemical, and biological aging processes in soil environments. Second, we assess aging and survival features of colloidal pathogens, especially viruses. Viruses in soils may survive from several days to months, or even several years in groundwater, depending on their rates of inactivation and the reversibility of attachment. Furthermore, we identify implications for risk mitigation based on aging mechanisms. Hotspots of (photo)chemical aging of NPs, including plastic gauzes at construction sites and randomly discarded plastic waste in rural areas, are identified as area requiring greater research attention. For COVID‐19, we suggest taking greater care in regions where viruses are persist for long periods, such as cold climate regions. Soil amendment with quicklime (CaO) may act as an effective means for pathogen disinfection. Future risk mitigation of colloidal contaminants and pathogens relies on a better understanding of aging mechanisms and more sophisticated models accurately depicting processes in real soil environments.

  • Bioavailability of pollutants is a key factor influencing their removal from soil by plants.

    “The bioavailability of pollutants is a key factor influencing their removal from soil by plants (Petruzzelli et al. 2015;Wang et al. 2023d;Zhang et al. 2022b).”

    From Sustainable management of post-phytoremediation biomass (2025) · cites this paper as Wang et al. 2023d

    The Introduction discusses how soil processes alter colloidal contaminants, and Section 4.1 discusses nanoplastic mobility and immobilization. Neither addresses whether pollutant bioavailability determines removal from soil by plants; searches for bioavailability, phytoremediation, and plant uptake found no supporting passage in our copy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
