The occurrence and fate of antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in water treatment processes: A review

Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 10, С. 100330 - 100330

The recent surfacing of novelty viruses such as the coronavirus (COVID-19) and other conventional have resulted in a significant increase use pharmaceuticals, particularly antibiotics nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This is attributed to their design modulate endocrine immune system body. Subsequently, these contaminants emerging concern are introduced into water-receiving bodies through animal human excretion, unregulated disposal, anthropogenic activities, resulting occurrence trace amounts. Despite amounts, classes can be persistent or only partially degraded during water treatment processes; hence they eluded wastewater plant (WWTP) technologies. Moreover, long-term exposure pharmaceutical compounds poses serious health risks aquatic flora fauna due bioaccumulation. Hence, current study provides holistic review on selected NSAIDs surface fate processes. an overview findings reported literature detection frequency quantity pharmaceuticals WWTP influent effluent streams. Furthermore, highlights potential application bioremediation processes, advanced oxidation chitosan-based adsorbents remediation. Finally, identifies knowledge gaps technologies with future perspectives.

The ability of biochars from cookstoves to remove pharmaceuticals and personal care products from hospital wastewater

Environmental Technology & Innovation, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 32, С. 103391 - 103391

Adequate treatment of wastewater to remove micropollutants constitutes a major concern globally. Despite this, large volumes untreated are released into the environment, mainly due cost involved. Biochars have been suggested potential pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCP) from wastewater, but, adsorption needs be investigated further. Production biochars should also preferably sustainable based on low-cost materials. This study ability nine produced in three cookstoves feedstocks. All were characterized then applied experiments, authentic hospital effluent. Our analytical method included 32 products, 28 these detected quantified effluent samples. Some PPCP present relatively high concentrations (more than 24 µg/L). Adsorption experiments showed that used investigation had average removal rates (RR) ranging 14.2% 65.5%. Removal varied between within feedstock. Although cookstove with low surface area this generally lower rates, results characterization not detailed enough correlate physicochemical properties pollutants adsorption. Further characterizations therefore needed point out most important parameters involved biochars.

Treatment of hospital wastewater: emphasis on ecotoxicity and antibiotic resistance genes

Journal of Chemical Technology & Biotechnology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 99(10), С. 2129 - 2138

Abstract BACKGROUND Hospital wastewater (HWW) charges treatment plants (WWTPs) with a mixture of contaminants such as pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) and pathogenic bacteria. This matrix is considered highly toxic to the ecosystem organisms, it may induce development antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) transfer resistance genes (ARGs) within microbial communities. Conventional WWTPs cannot treat HWW effectively, because they have not been designed confront this challenge. Therefore, study investigated applicability photocatalysis purify HWW, regarding its ecotoxicity removal rates targeted substances, selected specific ARGs. RESULTS The samples showed high toxicity towards bioindicator Daphnia magna population, while also contained significant levels ARB Upon application photocatalytic treatment, pharmaceutical concentrations decreased at rate >80% examined ( Escherichia coli , Enterococci, Klebsiella sp. Staphylococcus sp.) were >80%. Importantly, remaining after sensitive tested antibiotics. Conversely, ARGs present in before treatment. For example, genes, namely ampC, sul2, tetA qnrA, effluents from 10 4 6 gene copies L −1 . CONCLUSIONS Photocatalysis be promising technique for elimination PhACs HWW. Moreover, proved capable altering profile surviving making them certain compounds. However, main concern public health protection remains, presence considerable bacterial communities aquatic environments. © 2023 Authors.

The presence of 220 emerging contaminants belonging to different classes (artificial sweeteners, personal care products, coffee and tobacco-related compounds, industrial chemicals) was investigated in hospital wastewater for the first time. Twenty samples were collected within two sampling periods from points a Greek General Hospital. Target compounds analyzed using solid-phase extraction protocol followed by UHPLC-ESI-QToF-MS analysis. Analytical results showed that 23 micropollutants detected at least once Period 1, while 27 2. most frequently substances, artificial parabens, chemicals. highest mean concentrations recorded sweeteners cyclamic acid (377 μg/L) saccharine (295 μg/L), caffeine (193 nicotine (162 chemical lauryl diethanolamide (153 μg/L). group contributed up 55.1% (Point A/Period 1) total concentration studied detection high effluents reveals hospitals should be considered as important point-sources these contaminants.

Mass spectrometry (MS) has long been considered a cornerstone technique in analytical chemistry. However, the use of MS animal health laboratories (AHLs) limited, however, largely because expense involved purchasing and maintaining these systems. Nevertheless, since ~2020, techniques increased significantly AHLs. As expected, developments new instrumentation have shown significant benefits veterinary toxicology as well bacteriology. Creative researchers continue to push boundaries analysis, now promises impact disciplines other than I include short discussion instrumentation, more detailed discussions introduced variety that promise bring such virology pathology.
