Microplastic pollution (MPs) emerged as a significant environmental concern due to its persistent nature. These MPs particles endure in waters, soils, and even the atmosphere, posing potential threats entire ecosystem. Aquatic organisms are at risk of ingesting MPs, leading accumulation tissues, ultimately affecting food chain. This study aims provide an overview sources distribution, impacts. have been documented various substances such bottled water, salts, seafood, air. However, full extent health consequences on human exposure remains uncertain. Therefore, it is imperative that we draw public attention presence these pollutants environment. To mitigate adverse effects reducing plastic consumption, implementing improved waste management practices, advocating sustainable behaviors essential for well-being natural ecosystems populations.

Antiviral drugs such as lamivudine have been globally identified in the environment and marked emerging pollutants of concern due to their bioactive extremity. Following therapeutic uses, approximately 70% oral dose is eliminated renally parent drug. Concerns has raised for neighbouring aquatic bodies effluent produced from production plants containing high concentrations antiviral drugs. drugs, lamivudine, are extremely bioactive, prompting interest urgent removal environment. The purpose present study was optimize synthetic solution using jamun seed (JS) (Syzygium cumini) biochar. influence sorption parameters pH, concentration, adsorbent dosage, contact time, calcination temperatures on investigated optimized a response surface methodology (SRM) based optimal design. results indicated that, quadratic model best fits data with regression coefficient R2, adjusted predicted R2 0.9934, 0.9761 0.8340, respectively. JS biochar calcined at 750 °C, pH 8, initial concentration 10 ppm time 30 min maximum experimental efficiency 84.9%. residual standard error (RSE) value 3.5% implying that reliable. Isotherm adsorption followed Freundlich isotherm, an 0.9977 while modified Langmuir 0.9852. These findings potentially useful other organics contaminated water wastewater effluents. Therefore, this presents environmentally friendly remedy against healthier ecology.

Scientific interest in antimicrobial pollutants, such as ciprofloxacin, has increased. Due to spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, resistance genes, and their dissemination the environment. Therefore, remediation is necessary ensure ecological sustainability. The current study aimed optimise removal ciprofloxacin from synthetic water using jamun seed (JS) (Syzygium cumini) biochar a response surface methodology (RSM). Result indicates elimination efficiency ranged between 32.46 94.95%, indicating material can be improved used for organics. residual standard error 4.4% were found predicted model, implying that model credible predict future experimental findings.

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are ubiquitously found pseudo-persistent group of emerging contaminants that causes ecotoxicity even at nano-concentrations. Due to their persistence bio-accumulative behavior, long-term exposure these pollutants increases the risk severe health disorders in humans poses ecological risks aquatic life. Sedimentation, membrane filtration, advanced oxidation, activated sludge, bioreactors a few treatment processes with efficiency ranging from 50 95%, but they have limitations such as high investment, towering operating costs, use chemicals, fouling issues etc. Constructed wetlands (CW) promising low cost, nature-based solutions having potential PPCPs removal by simultaneous action physical, chemical biological processes. Herein, substrate material, plants microbes play crucial roles eliminating PPCPs. Phytoremediation occurs via plant uptake, translocation degradation. Plants like Canna indica Phragmites australis shown ~70–90% antibiotics efficiency. Biofilm formation colonization lead microbial degradation micro-pollutants apart synergistic effect plant-endophytic relationship. This bacterial property could be used CWs for bioremediation water wastewaters, substrates provide substratum adherence biofilm formation. Quorum sensing (QS) is density-based cell-communication system where cells send signals among themselves during In this respect, QS-assisted biodegradation augmentation engineered bacteria genes enhance QS can novel approach organic richness.
