Emerging Pollutants in Moroccan Wastewater: Occurrence, Impact, and Removal Technologies

Journal of Chemistry, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 2022, P. 1 - 24

Published: Jan. 25, 2022

The rapid growth of anthropogenic activities in recent decades has resulted the appearance numerous new chemical compounds environment, known as “emerging pollutants” (EPs) or “contaminants emerging concern” (CECs). Although partially not yet regulated monitored, there is growing research interest these EPs among scientific community because their bioaccumulation, persistence, and adverse effects. Among these, endocrine disruptors, pesticides, pharmaceuticals can have harmful impacts on human health ecosystem. Conventional wastewater treatment technologies are effective removing contaminants, allowing them to be released into receiving environment. In order improve understanding pollutants, this review discusses source, occurrence, bisphenol A, atrazine, amoxicillin, paracetamol model molecules environmental an issue that remains underrepresented Morocco. Then, methods for reviewed, including adsorption, advanced oxidation processes, biodegradation, hybrid treatment. It proposed adsorption photocatalysis used simple, effective, environmentally friendly removal. Thus, we summarize some adsorbent photocatalyst materials applied work control pollutants. Towards end paper, development inexpensive locally available (Morocco) remove from considered.

Towards removal of PPCPs by advanced oxidation processes: A review

Results in Engineering, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 20, P. 101496 - 101496

Published: Oct. 12, 2023

The continuous influx of emerging contaminants (ECs) into water bodies poses a significant threat to human health. Among these contaminants, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are particular concern due their potential exert adverse effects even at low concentrations. Therefore, it is imperative explore methods for effective removal or reduction safeguard both health the ecological environment. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have received substantial attention as promising treatment methods. AOPs capable efficiently treating by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) with potent properties, which can effectively eliminate various contaminants. This review delves diverse range available, including ozonation, photocatalytic oxidation, Fenton process, electrochemical sulfate radicals-based advanced (SR-AOPs), more. It also discusses respective limitations future prospects processes, aiming provide insights addressing pressing issue PPCP contamination in bodies.

Recent Advances in the Chromatographic Analysis of Emerging Pollutants in Dairy Milk: A Review (2018–2023)

Molecules, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 29(6), P. 1296 - 1296

Published: March 14, 2024

Emerging pollutants (EPs) encompass natural or synthetic substances found in the environment that pose potential risks, but which have only recently been recognized monitored. EPs consist of various categories, including pesticides, pharmaceuticals, hormones, mycotoxins, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Through several pathways, can access food, potentially leading to health impacts when safe concentrations are exceeded. Milk, being a highly nutritious food product is heavily consumed by many consumers different ages, crucial matrix where should be regularly In literature, large number studies dedicated determination dairy milk, employing analytical techniques do so. Chromatography-based most prevalent means used for analysis demonstrating significant efficiency, sensitivity, accuracy this specific purpose. The extraction from complex like milk essential prior performing chromatographic analysis.

The Environmental Impact of E-Waste Microplastics: A Systematic Review and Analysis Based on the Driver–Pressure–State–Impact–Response (DPSIR) Framework

Environments, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11(2), P. 30 - 30

Published: Feb. 3, 2024

Microplastics resulting from the fragmentation of plastics in electronic waste (e-waste) are an emerging but understudied environmental concern. This systematic review employs a Driver–Pressure–State–Impact–Response (DPSIR) framework to investigate sources, prevalence, and effects e-waste microplastics, identifying knowledge gaps. The available literature on microplastics was retrieved Scopus Web Science (n = 24), trends electrical equipment were European Union databases. growing incorporation electronics into daily life results global annual growth rate 3–4% for e-waste, which only 17.4% is collected recycling. E-waste frequently found soils near disposal or disassembly facilities, potentially leaching hazardous metals (e.g., Pb) organic compounds flame retardants). These contaminate food chain can have adverse soil gut microbiome, organisms, human health, either independently associated with other chemicals. Responses include implementation regulations, improvement management systems, mitigation measures. Despite these concerns, topic remains limited, emphasizing need additional research identification their toxicity.
