Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious problem for modern society, not only associated with clinical environments, but also the natural environment. Conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are important nodes dissemination of antibiotic to aquatic environment since they reservoirs antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), genes (ARGs), and residues. WWTPs designed remove these determin...

Abstract The tannery industry plays a significant role in the economy but poses severe environmental threat due to its high water and chemical usage, leading wastewater generation with concentration of pollutants. This contains range contaminants created throughout leather manufacturing process, making effluent disposal challenge for industry. tanning process also contributes significantly pH, ...

Ultraviolet advanced oxidation processes (UV-AOPs) were compared using sodium perborate (UV/NaBO3 AOP) or hydrogen peroxide (UV/H2O2 for 1,4-dioxane removal from tertiary wastewater effluent. Both UV-AOPs also tested with the addition of acetic acid. Results revealed that performed similarly to peroxide. The UV/NaBO3 AOP 6 milligrams per liter (mg/L) as H2O2 resulted in 43.9 percent removal, wh...

[1] We used budgets of absorption (a), scattering (b), and backscattering (bb) for particles and chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) to investigate sources of seasonal variations in apparent optical properties (AOPs) of New England continental shelf surface waters. Spectral a, b, and bb budgets for particles were estimated from flow cytometric measurements of eukaryotic pico/nanophytop...

The pollution due to the presence of contaminants emerging concern (CECs) is a major cause for because serious threat it supposes human health and ecosystem functions. Many efforts have been geared toward their removal guarantee safer freshwater. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline hybrid materials with high surface area flexible rational design, which allows incorporation different...

While whole animal studies have their place in risk assessment of food and feed components, it is thought that more modern approaches such as human focused new approached methodologies (NAMs) would bring advantages including a greater focus to the species, on molecular mechanism kinetics possibility addressing susceptible populations. This report outlines thinking from authors culminates activi...

Carbon-based functional materials are deemed to be excellent candidates adsorb contaminants from wastewater, yet their catalytic roles in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) still ambiguous. Therefore, four carbons (SPFCx) were fabricated this study under various pyrolysis temperatures by using Sedum plumbizincicola (SP) residues (a kind of phytoremediation plant) as the precursors. Notably, SP...
