Advanced nanocellulose-based electrochemical sensor for tetracycline monitoring

Electrochimica Acta, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 500, P. 144639 - 144639

Published: June 29, 2024

Antibiotics play a pivotal role in healthcare and agriculture, but their overuse environmental presence pose critical challenges. Developing sustainable effective detection methodologies is crucial to mitigating antibiotic resistance contamination. This study presents cellulosic polymer-based electrochemical sensor by integrating TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers-polyethyleneimine hybrids (TOCNFs-PEI) with single-walled carbon nanotube networks (SWCNTs). Our research focuses on (i) conducting physicochemical studies of multifunctional SWCNT/TOCNFs-PEI architectures, (ii) elucidating the relationships between material's properties performance, (iii) assessing its performance detecting tetracycline concentrations both controlled more complex matrices (treated wastewater effluents). The limits were evaluated be 0.180 µmol L−1 (at potential 0.85 V) 0.112 0.65 phosphate-buffered saline solution, 2.46 0.82 1.5 undiluted membrane bioreactor effluent sample, respectively. Further, designed sensing architecture compatible large-scale production, paving way for new era green, versatile devices. These developments will significantly contribute global efforts alleviate

A Review on Biohazards Removal in Ethiopia: Efficacy of Existing Treatment Systems and Challenges

Environmental Health Insights, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 19

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Background: Wastewater treatment is crucial to protecting public health and the environment by removing Biohazards. In Ethiopia, however, significant research gaps limit progress, especially regarding efficiency of Biohazard removal in existing facilities. This review evaluates effectiveness current methods for removal, highlights key challenges, offers recommendations. Methods: scoping followed PRISMA guidelines, systematically searching databases like NLM. Science Direct, HINARI Scopus studies with independent reviewers screening analyzing relevant data identify challenges. Results: Out 1218 initially recorded title abstract, only 11 articles were selected analysis. The Activated Sludge Process emerged as a highly effective system, achieving 85% 95% antimicrobial resistance (AMR) total coliforms. Other methods, such Conventional Sludge, Anaerobic-Aerobic Reactors, demonstrated promising results but found select locations. However, widely adopted Oxidation Ponds, Ethiopia’s most common wastewater showed lowest AMR efficiency, at just 30% 50%. Significant including inadequate infrastructure, high operational costs, weak regulatory enforcement. Conclusions recommendations: underscores need affordable highlighting challenges infrastructure costs. To enhance reduce risks from Biohazards AMR, recommendations include adopting cost-effective technologies, strengthening frameworks, increasing awareness, promoting corporate responsibility, investing sustainable management.

The drinking water cycle consists of the stages untreated water, potable and sewage. Escherichia coli is considered an indicator fecal contamination since it a common bacterium intestinal flora humans warm-blooded animals carrier many antibiotic resistance genes. aim this investigation was to assess level drug coliforms E. isolates in samples submitted from various sites Central South Greece during period 2018–2022. highest rates among both coliform were observed against ampicillin. analysis conducted with reference groups indicated that most AMR and/or MDR or exhibited group A (ampicillin amoxicillin/clavulanic acid). frequent phylogroup B1 followed by B2. genus assignment for other than Enterobacter, Citrobacter, Klebsiella, Serratia. In conclusion, bacteria can be transferred one stage next, either through normal operation due system failures, consequence even contains bacteria, pathogenic non-pathogenic.

Enantioselectivity in ecotoxicity of pharmaceuticals, illicit drugs, and industrial persistent pollutants in aquatic and terrestrial environments: A review

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 912, P. 169573 - 169573

Published: Dec. 25, 2023

At present, there is a serious concern about the alarming number of recalcitrant contaminants that can negatively affect biodiversity threatening ecological status marine, estuarine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems (e.g., agricultural soils forests). Contaminants emerging (CEC) such as pharmaceuticals (PHAR), illicit drugs (ID), industrial persistent pollutants, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) chiral ionic solvents are globally spread potentially toxic to non-target organisms. More than half these have been measured at different enantiomeric proportions in diverse ecosystems. Enantiomers exhibit toxicodynamics toxicokinetics, thus, cause effects. Therefore, distribution occurrence cannot be neglected toxicity other adverse biological effects expected enantioselective. Hence, this review aims reinforce recognition stereochemistry environmental risk assessment (ERA) CEC gather up-to-date information current knowledge regarding enantioselectivity ecotoxicity PHAR, ID, pollutants (PCBs PBDEs) present freshwater soil We performed an online literature search obtain state-of-the-art research enantioselective studies available for assessing impact classes CEC. Ecotoxicity assays carried out using organisms belonging trophic levels microorganisms, plants, invertebrates, vertebrates, considering ecologically relevant aquatic species or models recommended by regulatory entities. A battery was also reported encompassing standard acute sub-chronic chronic endpoints biomarkers biochemical, morphological alterations, reproduction, behavior, etc.). Nevertheless, we call attention lack potential many several compounds. Additionally, questions key species, selection most appropriate toxicological ERA addressed critically discussed.
