Abstract The quest for sustainable agricultural practices has led to a surge in research focused on innovative wastewater treatment methods. This review explores the emerging biological approaches designed address challenges of eco-friendly and subsequent reuse. investigation centers around three novel techniques: constructed wetlands, algae-based systems, microbial fuel cells. Constructed wetlands (CWs) mimic natural processes treat wastewater, providing habitat various plant species that collaboratively remove contaminants. Algae-based systems(ABs) harness photosynthetic prowess algae absorb nutrients pollutants, producing biomass can be repurposed. Meanwhile, cells (MFCs) employ microorganisms break down organic matter while generating electricity as valuable byproduct. aims provide insights into potential these methods revolutionize management agriculture. By mitigating environmental impact, conserving water resources, yielding reusable outputs, techniques will offer pathway towards addressing pressing enhancing overall ecological balance.

The expanding population, rapid growth in urbanization, and industry exacerbate pollution-related issues. Pollution of the soil water has an impact on both human health environment. Thus, restoration cleanup contaminated areas represent important technological environmental challenge for sustainable development. Among various techniques used to remediate contaminants, Mycoremediation, use fungi or its derivatives, is by far most widely employed remove degrade metal metals, persistent organic pollutants, some emerging pollutants. This chapter summarizes key aspects mycoremediation as eco-friendly, economical, approach remediation terrestrial aquatic ecosystems. current discusses potential degrading contaminants such heavy agricultural pharmaceutical wastes, dyes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Likewise, we address major fungal species, their mechanisms, applications mycoremediation. Afterward, economic benefits, problems, future improving efficiency are addressed.

The occurrence of contaminants emerging concern (CECs) in several environmental compartments has raised significant given the extensive array compounds and their consistent detection across various matrices. Monitoring all potentially harmful identifying sources is nearly impossible. However, providing data on crucial lays groundwork for decision makers to craft mitigation strategies toward a more sustainable water policy. Hence, primary aim this study was conduct an evaluation CECs environment. main novelty relies understanding specific pathway three different aquatic compartments. For that, combined systematic review systemic analysis performed. Initially, five most common types found ecosystems (groundwater surface water) wastewater were considered. each group CECs, identified. A bibliographic portfolio generated through application review. Finally, conducted. All classes studied identified evaluated. Except pesticides, degree contamination by followed sequence based compartment (i.e., WW–SW–GW).
