The presence of pharmaceuticals in aquatic ecosystems is an issue increasing concern. Regardless the low concentration water, they can have a toxic effect on both humans and organisms. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) been described as promising technique for eliminating due to their high efficiency. However, cost associated with application these reagents energy requirements affected implementation AOPs at large scales. Biochar has suggested be used catalyst overcome limitations. considered alternative heterogeneous thanks its physicochemical characteristics like specific surface area, porous structure, oxygen-containing functional groups, electrical conductivity, persistent free radicals (PFRs), modifiable properties, structure defects. This carbonaceous material presents capacity activate oxidizing agents leading formation radical species, which are needed degrade pharmaceuticals. Additionally, AOP/biochar systems destroy pharmaceutical molecules following non-radical pathway. To enhance biochar catalytic performance, modifications such iron (Fe) impregnation, heteroatom doping, supporting semiconductors surface. Although efficiently combination several mineralization from further research must conducted evaluate different regeneration techniques increase biochar’s sustainable applicability reduce operational combined process. Moreover, conditions influencing system required evaluated discern find that maximize degradation by systems.

Traditional approaches for monitoring aquatic pollution primarily rely on chemical analysis and the detection of pollutants in aqueous environments. However, these methods lack realism mechanistic insight and, thus, are increasingly supported by effect-based methods, which offer sensitive endpoints. In this context, daphnids, a freshwater species used extensively molecular ecotoxicology, fast noninvasive to assess impact pollutants. Among phenotypic endpoints used, feeding rate is highly approach because it provides evidence physiological alterations even sublethal concentrations. there has been no standardized method measuring several follow different protocols.

The outflow of pharmaceutically active chemicals (PhACs) exerts a negative impact on biological systems even at extremely low concentrations. For instance, enormous threats to human and aquatic species have resulted from the widespread use antibiotics in ecosystems, which stimulate emergence formation antibiotic-resistant bacterial associated genes. Additionally, it is challenging eliminate these PhACs by employing conventional physicochemical water treatment techniques. Enzymatic approaches, including laccase, been identified as promising alternative broad array matrices. However, their application environmental bioremediation hindered several factors, enzyme's stability its location aqueous environment. Such obstacles may be surmounted laccase immobilization, enables enhanced (including inactivation caused substrate), thus improved catalysis.
