Sustainable wastewater reuse for agriculture

Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 5(7), P. 504 - 521

Published: June 6, 2024

Effective management of water resources is crucial for global food security and sustainable development. In this Review, we explore the potential benefits challenges associated with treated wastewater (TW) reuse irrigation. Currently, 400 km3 yr−1 generated globally, but <20% treated, that TW, only 2–15% reused irrigation depending on region. The main limitation TW inability current treatment technologies to completely remove all micropollutants contaminants emerging concern, some which have unknown impacts crops, environment health. However, advanced schemes, supported by quality monitoring regulations, can provide a stable supply agricultural production, as demonstrated in regions such USA Israel. Such schemes could potentially serve net energy source, embedded exceeds needs 9 10 times. Agriculturally useful nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus potassium be also recovered reused. act major contributor circular economy development, first steps will funding implementation social acceptance. Treated alleviate imbalances boost production water-scarce regions, thus promoting security. This Review discusses widespread agriculture framework.

Bioaccumulation/bioconcentration of pharmaceutical active compounds in aquatic organisms: Assessment and factors database

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 861, P. 160638 - 160638

Published: Dec. 5, 2022

There is increasing evidence that the presence of certain pharmaceuticals in environment leads to biota exposure and constitute a potential risk for ecosystems. Bioaccumulation an essential focus assessment evaluate at what degree emerging contaminants are hazard both individuals inhabit it. The main goals present review 1) summarize describe research factors should be taken into account evaluation bioaccumulation aquatic organisms; 2) provide database critical bioaccumulation/bioconcentration (BAF or BCF) these compounds organisms different trophic levels. Most studies fall one two categories: laboratory-scale absorption purification tests field and, lesser extent, large-scale, semi-natural system tests. Although last 5 years there has been considerable progress this field, especially species fish molluscs, still limited on other like crustaceans algae. This revision includes >230 bioconcentration (BCF) >530 (BAF), determined 113 pharmaceuticals. most commonly studied antidepressant group, followed by diclofenac carbamazepine. currently no reported accumulation data compounds, such as anti-cancer drugs. BCFs highly influenced experimental (notably level, time temperature). Field BAFs superior laboratory BCFs, highlighting importance reliable assessments true environmental conditions. BAF appears organ, compound-specific. impact food web transfer also considered. Among species, lower levels benthic exhibit relatively higher uptake compounds.

Synthesis of biochar from iron-free and iron-containing microalgal biomass for the removal of pharmaceuticals from water

Environmental Research, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 214, P. 114041 - 114041

Published: Aug. 9, 2022

The contamination of natural water bodies with pharmaceutical compounds has raised significant concerns about ecological and public health safety. In this study, biochars were synthesized from iron-free microalgal biomass (harvested by centrifugation) iron-containing coagulation) tested for the adsorption ciprofloxacin (CIP) diclofenac (DIC) in batch fixed-bed column continuous studies. physicochemical properties analyzed using Brunauer, Emmett Teller (BET) surface area analyzer, elemental Fourier Transformed Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning electron microscope energy dispersive (SEM-EDS). maximum monolayer capacities biochar (FBC750W) (MBC750W) based on Langmuir model obtained as 75.97 mg/g 39.08 CIP, 40.99 6.77 DIC, respectively. Comparatively, commercial activated carbon (C-AC) found to be 50.97 46.39 CIP studies, effects flow rate (1 2 mL/min) adsorbent amount (50 100 mg) performance evaluated. Column kinetic models, such Bohart-Adams Fractal-like examined. mechanisms proposed pore filling, π-π interaction, electrostatic interaction. Overall, results study revealed that biomass, harvested FeCl3, can used direct synthesis removal pharmaceuticals water.

Environmental Fate, Ecotoxicity, and Remediation of Heterocyclic Pharmaceuticals as Emerging Contaminants: A Review of Long-Term Risks and Impacts

Organics, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 6(1), P. 1 - 1

Published: Jan. 2, 2025

Heterocyclic pharmaceuticals are emerging contaminants due to their toxic, carcinogenic nature and detrimental impact on the natural ecosystem. These compounds pose a significant environmental concern given widespread use in medical therapy, constituting over 90% of new medications. Their unique chemical structure contributes persistence various matrices, necessitating urgent measures mitigate risks. This review comprehensively examines sources, fate, toxicity, long-term risks associated with heterocyclic pharmaceuticals, proposing potential remediation strategies. The article commences an overview diverse types applications, focusing containing heteroatoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur. Subsequently, it explores sources pathways through which these pollutants enter environment, including wastewater discharge, agricultural runoff, improper disposal, resistance biodegradation, bioaccumulation. toxic effects consequences exposure then discussed, encompassing neurotoxicity, genotoxicity, mutagenesis, cardiovascular metabolic carcinogenicity, teratogenesis. Additionally, this summarizes strategies treatment solutions aimed at reducing compounds, drawing insights from literature. research concludes by identifying critical areas for future research, emphasizing need more effective address growing posed contaminants.
