Microbes as Resources to Remove PPCPs and Improve Water Quality

Microbial Biotechnology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 18(1)

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

ABSTRACT The inadequate removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) by traditional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) poses a significant environmental public health challenge. Residual PPCPs find their way into aquatic ecosystems, leading to bioaccumulation in biota, the dissemination antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), contamination both water sources vegetables. These persistent pollutants can have negative effects on human health, ranging from development endocrine disruption. To mitigate these risks, there is growing interest exploiting microorganisms enzymes for bioremediation purposes. By harnessing metabolic capabilities microbial communities, be efficiently degraded, transformed, or sequestered systems. Additionally, communities exhibit remarkable adaptability resilience diverse PPCP contaminants, further underscoring potential as sustainable cost‐effective solutions treatment. This review explores promise an approach addressing complex challenges posed contamination, emphasising its safeguard integrity well‐being.

Environmental Occurrence and Predicted Pharmacological Risk to Freshwater Fish of over 200 Neuroactive Pharmaceuticals in Widespread Use

Toxics, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 10(5), P. 233 - 233

Published: May 3, 2022

There is a growing concern that neuroactive chemicals released into the environment can perturb wildlife behaviour. Among these chemicals, pharmaceuticals such as antidepressants and anxiolytics have been receiving increasing attention, they are specifically prescribed to modify behavioural responses. Many laboratory studies demonstrated some of compounds affect various aspects behaviour range aquatic organisms; however, investigations focused on very small set pharmaceuticals, often consider one compound at time. In this study, better understand environmental toxicological dimension problem, we considered all explicitly intended modulate central nervous system (CNS), hypothesised higher probability perturbing animal Based hypothesis, used classification provided by British National Formulary (based their clinical applications) identified 210 different CNS-acting in UK treat variety CNS-related conditions, including mental health sleep disorders, dementia, epilepsy, nausea, pain.

Limitations of wastewater treatment plants in removing trace anthropogenic biomarkers and future directions: A review

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 281, P. 116610 - 116610

Published: June 22, 2024

This review highlights the limitations faced by conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in effectively removing contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), heavy metals (HMs), and Escherichia coli (E. coli). emphasises current methods advocates for innovative approaches to enhance removal efficiency. By following PRISMA guidelines, study systematically reviewed relevant literature on detecting remedying these pollutants facilities. Conventional struggle eliminate CECs, HMs, E. owing their small size, persistence, complex nature. The suggests upgrading WWTPs with advanced tertiary processes significantly improve contaminant removal. calls cost-effective parameters standardised assessment techniques fate MPs WRRFs.
