Since the inception of global industrialization, steroidal estrogens have become an emerging and serious concern. Worldwide, steroid including estrone, estradiol estriol, pose threats to soil, plants, water resources humans. Indeed, gained notable attention in recent years, due their rapidly increasing concentrations soil all over world. Concern has been expressed regarding entry into human food chain which turn relates how plants take up metabolism estrogens.In this review we explore environmental fate highlighting release through effluent sources, uptake, partitioning physiological effects ecological system. We draw potential risk intensive modern agriculture waste disposal systems on estrogen health. also highlight uptake plants.We use MEDLINE other search data bases for environment from 2005 present, with majority our sources spanning past five years.

Advanced oxidation and biological integrated processes for pharmaceutical wastewater treatment: A review

Journal of Environmental Management, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 353, P. 120170 - 120170

Published: Feb. 1, 2024

The stress of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) discharging to water bodies the environment due increased industrialization has reduced availability clean water. This poses a potential health hazard animals human life because contamination is great issue climate, plants, humans, aquatic habitats. Pharmaceutical compounds are quantified in concentrations ranging from ng/Lto μg/L environments worldwide. According (Alsubih et al., 2022), carbamazepine, sulfamethoxazole, Lutvastatin, ciprofloxacin, lorazepam were 616–906 ng/L, 16,532–21635 694–2068 734–1178 2742–3775 ng/L respectively. Protecting preserving our must be well-driven by all sectors sustain development. Various methods have been utilized eliminate emerging pollutants, such as adsorption biological advanced oxidation processes. These their benefits drawbacks removal pharmaceuticals. Successful wastewater treatment can save bodies; integrating green initiatives into main purposes actor firms, combined with continually periodic awareness current implications environmental/water pollution, will play major role conservation. article reviews key publications on adsorption, biological, processes used remove environment.

Occurrence of endocrine disrupting compounds in aqueous environment and their bacterial degradation: A review

Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology, Journal Year: 2015, Volume and Issue: 46(1), P. 1 - 59

Published: July 28, 2015

Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), represented by steroidal estrogens (estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), estradiol (E3), and 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) xenoestrogens (bisphenol A (BPA) nonylphenol (NP)), are pollutants with estrogenic activity at very low concentrations emerging as a major concern for water quality. They enter into aqueous environment mainly through discharge of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents. The paper completely reviews recent studies on the occurrence six categories EDCs in different environment, namely surface water, groundwater, drinking WWTPs all over world. Furthermore, due to high bioactivity, ubiquitous distribution, potential ecological effects, persistence EDCs, work summarizes current knowledge their bacterial biodegradation, which is considered be an efficient promising method removing EDCs. wide range bacteria isolated from various environments affiliated kinds genera degradation powers collected this review order select specific strains adapting well local conditions bioremediation freshwater, seawater, soil, sediment or levels Finally, it emphasizes need further research future tasks that emerge data gathered here.

Effects of exposure to bisphenol A and ethinyl estradiol on the gut microbiota of parents and their offspring in a rodent model

Gut Microbes, Journal Year: 2016, Volume and Issue: 7(6), P. 471 - 485

Published: Sept. 13, 2016

Gut dysbiosis may result in various diseases, such as metabolic and neurobehavioral disorders. Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), including bisphenol A (BPA) ethinyl estradiol (EE), especially during development, also increase the risk for An unexplored possibility is that EDC-exposure might alter gut microbial composition. flora their products thus be mediating factors disease-causing effects of these chemicals. To examine EDCs on microbiome, female male monogamous biparental California mice (Peromyscus californicus) were exposed BPA (50 mg/kg feed weight) or EE (0.1 ppb) control diet from periconception through weaning. 16s rRNA sequencing was performed bacterial DNA isolated fecal samples, analyses P0 F1 males females. Both induced generational sex-dependent microbiome changes. Many bacteria, e.g. Bacteroides, Mollicutes, Prevotellaceae, Erysipelotrichaceae, Akkermansia, Methanobrevibacter, Sutterella, whose proportions with exposure generation are associated different disorders, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), colorectal cancer.

Cytostatic pharmaceuticals as water contaminants

European Journal of Pharmacology, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 866, P. 172816 - 172816

Published: Nov. 20, 2019

Due to the growing problem of cancer diseases, cytostatic drugs have become a great environmental threat. Their main sources are hospital effluents, household discharge and drug manufacturers. As these compounds not removed during wastewater treatment with sufficient efficiency, they found in surface, ground drinking water quantities up 2.12 × 10−4 mg/l. The current knowledge about their harmful influence on humans does indicate significant risk health consumers, although it points certain groups (children lactating women) particular. In aquatic organisms, anticancer detected concentrations can cause chronic toxicity detrimental impact genetic material. acute effect is less likely. HC5 value calculated by us (the concentration at which 5% species potentially affected) equalling 2.1 mg/l shows that real hazardous contaminants for environment. It indicates effective elimination cytostatics from still requires intensive research.
