Stimulus-responsive hydrogels have emerged as versatile materials for environmental and wastewater treatment applications due to their ability adapt changing conditions. This review highlights recent advances in the design, synthesis, functionalization of such hydrogels, focusing on applications. Various synthesis techniques, including radical polymerization, grafting, copolymerization, enable development with tailored properties enhanced adsorption capacity, selectivity, reusability. The incorporation nanoparticles bio-based polymers further improves structural integrity pollutant removal efficiency. Key mechanisms adsorption, ion exchange, photodegradation are discussed, emphasizing roles removing heavy metals, dyes, organic pollutants from wastewater. Additionally, this presents potential oil-water separation, pathogen control, future sustainability through integration into circular economy frameworks. adaptability, cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness these make them promising candidates large-scale remediation.

While Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis, management, and care have become priorities for healthcare providers researcher's worldwide due to rapid population aging, epidemiologic surveillance efforts are currently limited by costly, invasive diagnostic procedures, particularly in low middle income countries (LMIC). In recent years, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has emerged as a promising tool public health assessment through detection quantification of specific biomarkers wastewater, but applications non-infectious diseases such AD remain limited. This early review seeks summarize AD-related urine other peripheral biofluids discuss their potential integration WBE platforms guide the first prospective field. Promising results been reported clinical settings, indicating amyloid β, tau, neural thread protein, long non-coding RNAs, oxidative stress markers dysregulated metabolites questions regarding concentration stability wastewater correlation between levels sewage circulation must be addressed future studies before comprehensive systems can developed.

Abstract Wastewater-based surveillance has been proposed as a cost-effective toolset to generate data about public health status by detecting specific biomarkers in wastewater samples, shown during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this work, we report on performance of an extensive, building-by-building platform deployed across 38 locations largest private university system Mexico, spanning 19 32 states. Sampling took place weekly from January 2021 and June 2022. Data 343 sampling sites was clustered campus state evaluated through its correlation with seven-day average daily new cases each cluster.
