Medicines are pharmaceutical substances used to treat, prevent, or relieve symptoms of different diseases in animals and humans. However, their large-scale production use worldwide cause release the environment. Pharmaceutical molecules currently considered emerging pollutants that enter water bodies due inadequate management, affecting quality generating adverse effects on aquatic organisms. Hence, alternatives for pharmaceuticals removal from have been sought; among them, agro-industrial wastes has proposed, mainly because its high availability low cost. This review highlights ecotoxicological related presence environments analyzes 94 investigations, 2012 2024, 17 antibiotics, highlighting sulfamethoxazole as most reported, well 6 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such diclofenac ibuprofen, 27 with pharmacological activities. The these was evaluated using wheat straw, mung bean husk, bagasse, bamboo, olive stones, rice pinewood, others. On average, 60% were transformed into biochar be a biosorbents removal. diversity experimental conditions studies makes it difficult stablish which waste greatest capacity; therefore, this review, drug mass rate (DMRR) calculated, parameter comparative purposes. Almond shell-activated showed highest antibiotics (1940 mg/g·h), while cork powder (CP) (10,420 mg/g·h) NSAIDs. Therefore, scientific evidence demonstrates is promising alternative substances.

Steroid hormones, recognized as emerging environmental contaminants, have garnered increasing attention in recent years. The present work studied the distribution characteristics environment, bioaccumulation aquatic products, and associated health risks of typical steroid hormones from commercial freshwater aquaculture farms operating under different modes (monoculture polyculture).

Additionally, a comparison EDI results fish species revealed hormone-related humans are influenced mode. This study consumption poly-cultured (e.g., bighead carp) may pose greater steroid-related risk, compared mono-cultured fish.

Abstract Estrone (E1) is associated with various health and environmental issues, necessitating the development of analytical methods for monitoring E1 in different matrices. In this context, present study reports a graphene quantum dot‐based electrode (GQD/E) to detect estrone water urine samples.

Abstract All organisms require the ability to engage in either sexual or asexual reproduction order ensure their own survival. In aquaculture, when one sex outgrows other faster, farmers use hormones stimulate growth. Furthermore, production of fish based on dimorphism is predominantly executed through utilization estrogens and androgens. Environmentally, these compounds may pollute ecosystem cause endocrine system alterations that harmful effects; thus, they must be handled carefully assure environmental, biological, food safety. Phytoestrogens as natural non-steroidal phenolic plant chemicals resemble 17-β-estradiol, could employed a safe alternative source estrogens. The phytoestrogens have many biological effects due compete with estrogen receptors, but negatively affect production, reproduction, behaviors under controlled conditions. Thus, current literature emphasizes beneficial aquatic animal performance, behaviors, some reproductive features.
