Microplastic contamination in sewage sludge: Abundance, characteristics, and impacts on the environment and human health

Environmental Technology & Innovation, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 31, С. 103176 - 103176

Опубликована: Апрель 30, 2023

This literature review addresses the presence of plastic in domestic wastewater, an increasingly important facet widespread use and its detrimental effects on environment, with a focus microplastics (MPs) sewage sludge their implications for circular economy. Extensive research has been conducted occurrence MPs wastewater treatment plants. Sewage is byproduct such plants that are widely used agricultural other sectors but may contain emerging contaminants, including MPs, can pose significant risk to environment. The highlights high concentrations underscores need appropriate disposal methods prevent soil contamination. also detrimentally interact as heavy metals organophosphate esters. While extraction technologies exist remove from implementation subject technical economic considerations. Future should optimization efficacy these ensure safe management. Given levels contaminants found sludge, it crucial implement enable sustainable disposal. By acknowledging challenges developing solutions, we mitigate environmental impacts promote waste management practices.

Plastic Waste-Derived Carbon Dots: Insights of Recycling Valuable Materials Towards Environmental Sustainability

Current Pollution Reports, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 9(3), С. 433 - 453

Опубликована: Май 26, 2023

Carbon dots (CDs) or carbon quantum (CQDs) have emerged as rising stars in the family due to their diverse applications various fields. CDs are spherical particles with a well-distributed size of less than 10 nm. Functional promising nanomaterials low toxicity, cost, and enormous field bioimaging, optoelectronics, photocatalysis, sensing. Plastic is non-biodegradable hazardous environment, however extremely durable used abundance. During COVID-19 pandemic, use plastic waste, particularly masks, goggles, face shields, shoe cover, has increased tremendously. It needs be recycled productive way wastes take hundreds thousands years degrade naturally. The conversion waste into magnificent been reported one key alternatives for environmental sustainability socio-economic benefits. In this review, synthetic routes utilizing hydrothermal, solvothermal, pyrolysis, flash joule heating, characterization these using different techniques, such Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, discussed. Furthermore, potential plastic-derived sensing, catalysis, agronomics, LED lights summarized herein.

Benefits and limitations of recycled water systems in the building sector: a review

Environmental Chemistry Letters, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 22(2), С. 785 - 814

Опубликована: Янв. 8, 2024

Abstract Building construction requires important amounts of freshwater, thus depleting the already stressed natural water resources. This issue could be addressed by using recycled in and building systems. However, integrating greywater recycling systems is limited complexity, costs, vulnerability to environmental fluctuations, coordination policymakers, developers, practitioners. Here, we review buildings with focus on case studies successful implementations, policies, treatment buildings, health aspects. Compared conventional tap water, incorporation enhances consistency workability reclaimed concrete 12–14%, it increases viscosity 11% yield stress 25%. We discuss intricacies systems, emphasizing conserving mitigating impact, enhancing economic efficiency. Challenges include quality assurance, dual piping infrastructure, regulatory compliance. Government interventions, including incentives, mandates, subsidy emerge as drivers for widespread adoption. Technological advancements, such membrane filtration advanced oxidation processes, are examined strengths limitations.
