In the last few decades, pharmaceuticals, credited with saving millions of lives, have emerged as a new class environmental contaminant. These compounds can both chronic and acute harmful effects on natural flora fauna. The presence pharmaceutical contaminants in ground waters, surface waters (lakes, rivers, streams), sea water, wastewater treatment plants (influents effluents), soils, sludges has been well doccumented. A range methods including oxidation, photolysis, UV-degradation, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, adsorption used for their remediation from aqueous systems. Many commercially limited by toxic sludge generation, incomplete removal, high capital operating costs, need skilled maintenance personnel. Adsorption technologies are low-cost alternative, easily developing countries where there is dearth advanced technologies, personnel, available capital, appears to be most broadly feasible removal method. integrated (WWTPs). Herein, we reviewed literature (1990–2018) illustrating rising contamination concerns efforts emphasizing adsorption.

Water is essential in all aspects of life, being the defining characteristic our planet and even body. Regrettably, water pollution increasingly becoming a challenge due to novel anthropogenic pollutants. Of particular concern are emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), term used not only cover newly developed compounds but also discovered as environment. Aside from contamination, higher temperature more extreme less predictable weather conditions projected affect availability distribution. Therefore, wastewater treatment has become valuable resource its reuse an important issue that must be carried out efficiently. Among technologies considered remediation processes, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) regarded promising materials for elimination EOCs since they present many properties commend them treatment: large surface area, easy functionalizable cavities, some stable water, synthesized at scale, etc. This review highlights advances use MOFs (adsorption and/or degradation) classifying by nature contaminant.

Antibiotics, the most frequently prescribed drugs of modern medicine, are extensively used for both human and veterinary applications. Antibiotics from different wastewater sources (e.g., municipal, hospitals, animal production, pharmaceutical industries) ultimately discharged into treatment plants. Sorption biodegradation two major removal pathways antibiotics during biological processes. This review provides fundamental insights sorption mechanisms classes with diverse physical–chemical attributes. Important factors affecting behavior also highlighted. Furthermore, this sheds light on critical role extracellular polymeric substances adsorption their in engineered systems. Despite advancements, systems only moderately effective (48–77%) antibiotics. In review, we systematically summarize various discussion efficiency, mechanisms, bioreactor operating conditions removal, recent innovative advancements. Besides, relevant background information including classification, properties, occurrence environment is briefly covered. aims to advance our understanding fate outlines future research directions.

Whereas the dramatic environmental impact of plastic waste rightfully receives considerable attention by scientists, policy makers and public in general, human health micro- nanoplastics contamination our food beverages remains largely unknown. Indeed, most studies aim at understanding rather than a possible exposure to nanoplastics. In addition, these papers generally lack methodological, standardised approach. Furthermore, some focus on damage level animal species collected from wild environment, others investigate rate biology microplastic uptake animals fed with microplastics laboratory. This review aims exposure. Since there is, few exceptions, no evidence available presence normal diet, this study takes an indirect approach analyses peer-reviewed publications since 2010 that document those (more 200 species) products are part chain may thus contribute directly or indirectly via diet. It also addresses question definitions, methodologies quality criteria applied obtain reported results. suggests that, beyond estimations comparisons, precise data assess exact humans through their diet cannot be produced until methods definitions available.
