Abstract Background Water contamination has become one of the most challenging problems to clean water supply and infrastructure in twenty-first century. Accordingly, access is limited by negative impacts climate change pollutants varying health risks. Overtime, global population experienced an exponential growth, which put pressure on resources. At least 3 billion people globally rely whose quality largely unknown.

The search for practical solutions to alleviate the destructive impact of petroleum hydrocarbons in marine environments is contributing implementation prospecting strategies indigenous microorganisms with biodegradative and bioremediation potential. levels contamination entering environment each year have been estimated at around 1.3 million tonnes, a figure that expected increase by 1.9% annually over next decade. recent interest decarbonizing our energy system accelerating clean transition has created demand greener technologies find innovative, sustainable, cost-effective treatments environment. Diatoms (Bacillariophyta) are one most diverse successful taxa coastal–marine relatively untapped pool biodiversity biotechnological applications. Recent reports revealed significant presence diatoms associated oil spills hydrocarbon degradation. Most can secrete substantial amounts exopolysaccharides (EPSs) into their environment, which act as biosurfactants that, addition oxygen other enzymes produced diatoms, create suitable conditions enhance solubility degradation less toxic compounds seawater. on biodegradation aliphatic aromatic indicative potential these achieve success environments. This review highlights main attributes roles could play integrated pollutants such represent green, eco-friendly, sustainable contribution mitigate damage value chains ecosystems.

Rivers are vital water sources for humans and homes aquatic organisms. Conversely, they well known as the route of plastics into ocean. Despite being world's number one emitter riverine ocean, microplastics (MPs), or plastic particles less than 5 mm, in Philippines' rivers relatively unexplored. Water samples were collected from six sampling stations along river channel Cagayan de Oro River, largest Northern Mindanao, Philippines. The extracted microplastics' abundance, distribution, characteristics analyzed using a stereomicroscope Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). results showed mean concentration 300 items/m3 MPs dominated by blue-colored (59%), fiber (63%), 0.3-0.5 mm (44%), polyacetylene (48%) particles. highest was recorded near mouth river, lowest middle area. findings indicated significant difference MP at stations. This study is first assessment microplastic Mindanao. this will aid formulating mitigation strategies reducing emissions.

An exceptional rise in population, urbanization and human activities associated with modernization has increased pollutants to critical levels. These are different shades across sectors however, petroleum hydrocarbon is one of the most significant. This because it comprises thousands various chemicals structural behavioral differences causing widespread distribution into environment, bioaccumulation biological systems, harmful effects on living organisms resistance biodegradation. Hydrocarbon pollution mainly attributed anthropogenic from crude oil refineries, sabotage pipelines, industries other sources consequently negatively impacts all environmental compartments: air, water, land, sediments sometimes groundwater deleterious effects. By extension, also contributes public health risks which supports need for an effective remediation option. Bioremediation been considered a highly functional option selective advantages such as: sustainability, cost-effectiveness, less complex technology eco-friendly attributes compared invasive methods. There approaches bioremediation more recently use biosurfactants immobilized cells have introduced as alternatives. Regardless, important understand mechanisms factors that biodegradation choice technique depends them. review therefore describes composition behavior hydrocarbons environment highlights their activity.
