Abstract Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), known as the most detected per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in various environmental compartments, have been associated with plastic pollution endocrine dysfunction. Over past 180 years (1839–2019), numerous emerging contaminants identified, PFOA PFOS receiving considerable attention based on scientific evidence publications. Between 2018 2019, experienced a relatively high increase rate of 18.8% 13.6%, respectively. While developed countries made progress establishing stringent guidelines, developing underdeveloped often lack regulations mechanisms to address PFAS. Furthermore, advancements PFAS removal technologies are needed improve their efficacy feasibility. The establishment regulatory compliances, along exposure assessment risk characterization, is essential for providing precautionary advice water source protection, supply security, health risks, treatment efficiency, contamination forecasting. However, more comprehensive approach database evaluating risks still imperative effectively combat drinking water. Therefore, this review aims enhance monitoring management practices response global crisis contamination. analysis Needs, Approaches, Benefits, Challenges (NABC) grounded current trends environment human through

Pyrolysis of fibrous biomass followed by alkali (KOH and K2CO3) chemical activation the pyrolysis char for production activated carbon fibre matting material has been investigated. For KOH, initially involved melting KOH reaction with disorganised/volatile char, producing hydrogen gas K2CO3 further developing existing pore structure char. At higher temperatures (>700 °C), widening occurs due to physical less molten phase Metallic potassium or other species may also contribute process. Chemical at (>600 °C) is controlled decomposition K2O CO2. The development surface area porosity through CO2, enhances leading pores. results in micropores low temperatures, temperatures. activation, creation occur simultaneously temperature, resulting a lower micropore volume wider size distribution.

Abstract Biochar (BC) is a stable, carbon-rich material produced through biomass pyrolysis in an oxygen-restricted environment. In recent years, BC has gained recognition as environmentally friendly and been extensively researched for its various applications related to human health. However, the medical of biochar remain relatively unexplored. This review aims analyze publications from PubMed, focusing on direct association between science over past 3 years. The analysis identified five main subjects: contaminant immobilization, waste treatment nutrient recovery, toxicity, electrical sensors biosensors, drug delivery. Among these subjects, delivery biosensors demonstrated most relevance field. To enhance validity our findings, bibliometric was performed using Web Science Core Collection visualize trends time. results further support analysis. Finally, potential directions future were discussed. underscores necessity research biochar. By exploring delivery, other domains, revolutionize medicine. Graphical
