Microplastic contamination, an emerging threat to the freshwater environment: a systematic review

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS RESEARCH, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(1)

Опубликована: Фев. 28, 2024

Abstract Microplastics have been noticed as widespread in an aquatic environment at the microscale. They nonstop increased due to increase production of synthetic plastics, population and poor waste management. are ubiquitous nature slowly degrade water soil. emerging pollutants that received interest from public audiences research communities. great stability can adsorb various other like pesticides, heavy metals, etc. After entering freshwater environment, microplastics be stored tissue organisms stay for a long time. generate serious threat ecosystems cause physical damage organisms. Visual identification, Raman spectroscopy, pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Pyro–GC–MS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined methods commonly known quantification identification microplastics. The detected concentration depends on sampling method, locations techniques. authors assessed sources, transport, impacts, characterization, treatment environments detail. also giving some recommendations minimization MPs environment. This review article will provide baseline facts investigators do more microplastic pollution future. Graphical

Function of Nanomaterials in Removing Heavy Metals for Water and Wastewater Remediation: A Review

Environments, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 9(10), С. 123 - 123

Опубликована: Сен. 25, 2022

Although heavy metals are typically found in trace levels natural waterways, most of them hazardous to human health and the environment, even at extremely low concentrations. Nanotechnology nanomaterials have gained great attention among researchers as a sustainable route addressing water pollution. Researchers focus on developing novel that cost-effective for use water/wastewater remediation. A wide range adsorbed been fabricated based different forms materials, such carbonaceous nanomaterials, zeolite, polymers, magnetic metal oxides, metallic silica. Hence, this review set out address ability various synthesized nanoadsorbent materials remove ions from wastewater investigate influence functionalization their adsorption capacity separation process. Additionally, effect experimental variables, pH, initial ion concentration, adsorbent dose, contact time, temperature, ionic strength, removal has discussed.

Phytoremediation of pollutants from wastewater: A concise review

Open Life Sciences, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 17(1), С. 488 - 496

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2022

Abstract As there is a global water crisis facing the whole world, it important to find alternative solutions treat wastewater for reuse. Hence, plants have an effective role in removing pollutants from wastewater, which has been emphasized this review article. Biological treatment of can be considered eco-friendly and cost-effective process that depends on future. Living organisms, including plants, remediate especially agricultural fields, such as dyes, heavy metals, hydrocarbons, pharmaceuticals, pesticides. This discusses different activities pollutant elimination sheds light utilization scope. focuses remediation most common contaminants present are difficult removal with microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, algae. Moreover, covers major potential phytoremediation possible solution crisis.
