Insights into the Fate and Removal of Antibiotics in Engineered Biological Treatment Systems: A Critical Review

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2019, Номер 53(13), С. 7234 - 7264

Опубликована: Июнь 3, 2019

Antibiotics, the most frequently prescribed drugs of modern medicine, are extensively used for both human and veterinary applications. Antibiotics from different wastewater sources (e.g., municipal, hospitals, animal production, pharmaceutical industries) ultimately discharged into treatment plants. Sorption biodegradation two major removal pathways antibiotics during biological processes. This review provides fundamental insights sorption mechanisms classes with diverse physical–chemical attributes. Important factors affecting behavior also highlighted. Furthermore, this sheds light on critical role extracellular polymeric substances adsorption their in engineered systems. Despite advancements, systems only moderately effective (48–77%) antibiotics. In review, we systematically summarize various discussion efficiency, mechanisms, bioreactor operating conditions removal, recent innovative advancements. Besides, relevant background information including classification, properties, occurrence environment is briefly covered. aims to advance our understanding fate outlines future research directions.

Various Natural and Anthropogenic Factors Responsible for Water Quality Degradation: A Review

Water, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 13(19), С. 2660 - 2660

Опубликована: Сен. 27, 2021

Recognition of sustainability issues around water resource consumption is gaining traction under global warming and land utilization complexities. These concerns increase the challenge an appropriate comprehension anthropogenic activities natural processes, as well how they influence quality surface groundwater systems. The characteristics resources cause difficulties in comprehensive assessment regarding source types, pathways, pollutants behaviors. As behavior prediction widely known contaminants remain challenging, some new have developed heavy metal pollutants. main aim this review to focus on certain essential pollutants’ discharge from categorized based land-use sectors such industrial applications (solid/liquid wastes, chemical compounds, mining activities, spills, leaks), urban development (municipal use practices, others), agricultural practices (pesticides fertilizers). Further, important released processes classified climate change, disasters, geological factors, soil/matrix, hyporheic exchange aquatic environment, are also discussed. Moreover, study addresses major inorganic substances (nitrogen, fluoride, metals concentrations). This emphasizes necessity transdisciplinary research cross-border communication achieve sustainable using sound science, adaptable legislation, management

Abundance, fate, and effects of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in aquatic environments

Journal of Hazardous Materials, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 424, С. 127284 - 127284

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are found in wastewater, thus, the environment. In this study, current knowledge about occurrence fate of PPCPs aquatic systems-including wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) natural waters around world-is critically reviewed to inform state science highlight existing gaps. Excretion by humans is primary route entry into municipal systems, but significant contributions also occur through emissions from hospitals, manufacturers, agriculture. Abundance raw influenced several factors, including population density demography served WWTPs, presence hospitals drugs manufacturers sewershed, disease burden served, local regulations, climatic conditions. Based on data obtained analgesics, antibiotics, stimulants (e.g., caffeine) most abundant wastewater. conventional removal occurs during secondary treatment, overall exceeds 90% for treatable PPCPs. Regardless, total PPCP mass discharged with effluent an average WWTP receiving (7.35-20,160 g/day) still considerable, because potential adverse effects some (such as ibuprofen) organisms within measured concentrations surface waters.
