A Critical Review of Extraction and Identification Methods of Microplastics in Wastewater and Drinking Water

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 54(12), P. 7037 - 7049

Published: May 20, 2020

This critical review analyzes methodologies used to collect, quantify, and characterize microplastics in both wastewater drinking water. Researchers different techniques at all stages, from collection characterization, for quantifying urban water systems. represents a barrier comprehensively assess the current loads of microplastic compare results obtained by such assessments. The compiled studies address contamination using four types sample techniques, methods processing samples, characterizing microplastics. significant discrepancies each following: (1) reported concentrations effluents water, (2) characteristics (i.e., size, color, shape, composition), (3) quality control assurance procedures. Finally, this qualitatively evaluated reports completeness their data based on ranking system five criteria: collection, processing, control, identification technique, results. clarify disparities between studies.

Sewage sludge in agriculture – the effects of selected chemical pollutants and emerging genetic resistance determinants on the quality of soil and crops – a review

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 214, P. 112070 - 112070

Published: March 2, 2021

In line with sustainable development principles and in order to combat climate change, which contributes progressive soil depletion, various solutions are being sought use treated sewage sludge as a amendment improve quality enrich arable soils adequate amounts of biogenic compounds. This review article focuses on the effects agricultural biosolids environment. The reviews existing knowledge selected emerging contaminants describes impact these pollutants environment living organisms based 183 publications from over 16,000 papers related topics published last ten years. study deals not only chemical but also genetic determinants resistance Current research has questioned due presence mutual interactions between antibiotics, heavy metals, (antibiotic genes - ARGs metal HMRGs) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs well risks associated their transfer emphasizes need for more extensive legal regulations that account other environmental concern (PEC), particularly countries where is applied agriculture most extensively. Future should focus effective methods eliminating PEC sludge, especially used fertilize land, because even small micropollutants can have serious implications health life humans animals.

Towards the Implementation of Circular Economy in the Wastewater Sector: Challenges and Opportunities

Water, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 12(5), P. 1431 - 1431

Published: May 18, 2020

The advancement of science has facilitated increase in the human lifespan, reflected economic and population growth, which unfortunately leads to increased exploitation resources. This situation entails not only depletion resources, but also increases environmental pollution, mainly due atmospheric emissions, wastewater effluents, solid wastes. In this scenario, it is compulsory adopt a paradigm change, as far consumption resources by concerned, achieve circular economy. recovery reuse are key points, leading decrease raw materials, waste reduction, improvement energy efficiency. reason why concept economy can be applied any industrial activity, including treatment sector. With view, review manuscript focuses on demonstrating challenges opportunities applying water For example, reclamation paying particular attention risks for health, nutrients, or highly added-value products (e.g., metals biomolecules among others), valorisation sewage sludge, and/or energy. Being aware situation, European, Union 18 out 27 countries already reusing reclaimed at some level. Moreover, many plants have reached self-sufficiency, producing up 150% their requirements. Unfortunately, presented work from becoming reality. Still, first step always become problem optimizing solution make possible.

How to decrease pharmaceuticals in the environment? A review

Environmental Chemistry Letters, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 19(4), P. 3115 - 3138

Published: March 30, 2021

Abstract The global problem of the presence human and veterinary pharmaceuticals in environment is under investigation. Despite increase knowledge its sources, fates impacts, assessment risks derived prevention actions are limited to single cases. predicted increasing trend usage forces various parties involved think about comprehensive mitigation actions. There many areas daily life industrial operations where such should take place. Thereby, presented review, were summarized divided into following groups: A. design, synthesis production pharmaceuticals, B. prescription, sales waste handling, C. control sources with advanced technologies. As total amount proposed was found be quite high, a ranking according term effects using pyramid needs. advantages taken first steps pharmaceutical cycle (acting on upstream) over end-of-pipe application technologies (the downstream option) discussed, reference expert opinions.
