With increasing global water scarcity, population growth, and urbanization, the reuse of treated wastewater in agriculture is gaining prominence as a sustainable solution for water resource management. This nexus between wastewater and agriculture presents both opportunities and challenges. On one hand, wastewater rich in nutrients can reduce the need for chemical fertilizers, enhance crop productivity, and support irrigation in water-stressed regions. On the other hand, it can introduce contaminants such as heavy metals, pathogens, antibiotics, and emerging pollutants like microplastics and nanoplastics into soil and food systems, posing significant risks to environmental and human health. While research on wastewater reuse and agricultural sustainability exists, there is a lack of comprehensive, interdisciplinary resources that bring together the latest findings on contaminants of emerging concern such as microplastics, nanoplastics, pharmaceuticals, and endocrine-disrupting compounds within the context of agricultural reuse.
