Plastic and plasticizer pollution has been a concern worldwide over the past decade. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is most produced detected in coastal marine ecosystems. This study aimed to assess toxicity of acute exposure (24, 48, 72, 96 h) DEHP concentrations (0.045–6.00 mg·L−1) on estuarine tropical species from distinct trophic levels. The lethality sublethal responses were assessed two microorganisms three invertebrates, independently. microorganisms—the microalga Tetraselmis sp. microbial consortium MP001—showed high tolerance density-rising tendency during DEHP. Among mortality brine shrimp Artemia amphipod Apohyale media rose with increasing concentrations. However, A. was more sensitive across time since its reached 100% almost all 72 h. dark false mussel Mytilopsis leucophaeata tolerant invertebrate: no significant (≤20%) observed exclusively h at intermediate–high M. presented that seem be good endpoints for ecotoxicological assays. These results reinforce evidence contamination risks ecosystems, as well suggest candidate biodegradation.

Advancements in biological wastewater treatment with sustainable and circularity approaches have a wide scope of application. Biological is widely used to remove/recover organic pollutants nutrients from diverse spectrum. However, conventional processes face challenges, such as low efficiency, high energy consumption, the generation excess sludge. To overcome these limitations, integrated strategies that combine other physical, chemical, or methods been developed applied recent years. This review emphasizes advances for treatment, focusing on their mechanisms, benefits, prospects. The also discusses potential applications towards green resource recovery, along low-carbon fuel production. methods, viz., bioremediation, electro-coagulation, electro-flocculation, electro-Fenton, advanced oxidation, electro-oxidation, bioelectrochemical systems, photo-remediation, are summarized respect non-genetically modified metabolic reactions. Different conducting materials (CMs) play significant role mass/charge transfer aid enhancing fermentation rates. Carbon, metal, nano-based CMs hybridization different provide favorable conditions fermentative biocatalyst trigger activity overcoming limitations process. emerging field nanotechnology provides novel additional opportunities surmount constraints process enhanced waste remediation valorization. Holistically, promising alternatives improving efficiency effectiveness while contributing circular economy environmental protection.
