The prevention of human infectious diseases associated with waterborne pathogens is reliant on the effective disinfection water supplies by drinking treatment plants and adequately maintained distribution networks. For decades, chlorination has safeguarded public health, where chlorine broadly applied in both food production facilities, including dairy industry, from farm to fork. identification byproducts produce great concern, however, due their cytotoxic, genotoxic, mutagenic, teratogenic, potential endocrine-disrupting activity. association between trihalomethanes (THMs) haloacetic acids (HAAs) tumour formation documented led implementation maximum contaminant levels enforced European Union. Furthermore, resistance bacterial species multidrug clinically relevant pathogens, antibiotic- biocidal-resistant genes are also environmental pollutants. Increasing concentration surmount this will ultimately lead increasing concentrations products, exceeding EU requirements. This article provides insight into DBPs as a toxicological health risk relationship antibiotic microbes production.

Polymer-based wastewater disinfection, which is typically performed using chemical oxidation or irradiation, can result in various toxic byproducts and corrosion under harsh environments. This study introduces a robust bio-adsorbent prepared from naturally abundant polydopamine-modified medical stone (MS@PDA) for the high-efficiency removal of bacteria water. The PDA nanocoating be easily applied through an situ self-polymerization process, resulting considerably high bacterial adsorption capacity 6.6 k pcs mm−2 Staphylococcus aureus. A cyclic flow-through dynamic filtration disinfection system was implemented MS@PDA porous filter with average pore size 21.8 ± 1.4 µm porosity ~83%, achieving 5.2–6.0-fold enhancement cumulative efficiency MS@PDA2. underlying mechanisms were elucidated synergistic effects interfacial bio-adsorption size-dependent interception. Notably, captured on surface could killed enhanced photothermal inherent antimicrobial properties mineral stone. Thus, this not only provides new type advanced but also perspectives efficient cost-effective approach sustainable treatment.
