The impact of emerging contaminants in the presence of active pharmaceutical pollutants plays an important role in the persistence and activity of environmental bacteria. This manuscript focuses on the impact of amoxicillin functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles on bacterial growth, in the presence of dissolved organic carbon (humic acid). The impact of these emerging contaminants individually...

Background Since the 1990s, research has been carried out to monitor environmental contaminants and their effects on human health in the Arctic. Although evidence shows that Arctic indigenous peoples are exposed to higher levels of contaminants and do worse on several dimensions of health compared with other populations, the contribution of such exposures on adverse outcomes is unclear. Objecti...

In the past years with the advance of analytical instrumen-tation/methods, some chemicals are being discovered in water and other environmental matrices that previously had not been noticed or are being detected at levels that may be diverse more than expected. These are often generally referred to as " contaminants of emerging concern " because the potential risk to human health and the enviro...

Natural and synthetic chemicals are essential to our daily lives, food supplies, health care, industries and safe sanitation. At the same time protecting marine ecosystems and seafood resources from the adverse effects of chemical contaminants remains an important issue. Since the 1970s, monitoring of persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) chemicals using analytical chemistry has provided ...

This paper discussed the removal and remediation of emerging contaminants (ECs) in water using adsorption membrane filtration as a single hybrid system. The classifications, sources, effects, detection techniques, available technologies for ECs were discussed. Next, an overview both processes terms materials, separation mechanisms, factors affecting their performances, applications removals was...

Emerging contaminants (ECs) usually refer to pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dioxins, personal care products, cosmetics, and medications. Due the strong demand quick growth of these businesses, ECs have continuously been found in alarming amounts groundwater, surface water, wastewater. These provide a significant non-esthetic threat ecosystem as whole can cause contaminatio...
