Abstract:
... Chlortetracycline (CTC) pharmaceutical residue with strong acidity and in high CTC concentration is a hazardous solid waste. There is a huge attention but few studies on whether and how the CTC raw residue (CRR) can be degraded in microbiological way. In this study, three self-screened fungi, LJ245, LJ302 and LJ318, were used and thoroughly investigated to remove CTC, strong acidity and biotoxicit ...
... The widespread presence of 17β-estradiol (E2) in the environment is an emerging problem because it poses a potential threat to human health and aquatic organisms. In this study, a strain of E2 degrading bacteria was isolated from activated sludge. 16s rRNA analysis combined with physiological and biochemical detection confirmed that the bacterium was Ochrobactrum sp. strain FJ1. At an initial E2 c ...

Abstract:
... Construction of Bi₂FeNbO₇/bisulfite system for abatement of pharmaceutical residue was achieved. An attempt to synthesize Bi₂FeNbO₇ through hydrothermal technique was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The magnetic field experiment revealed that Bi₂FeNbO₇ possessed a saturation magnetization of 6.99 emu/g, indicating magnetic attributes of Bi₂FeNbO₇. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that Bi ...

Abstract:
... Water contamination by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as acetaminophen, is an emerging ecological concern. In this study, a new three-dimensional manganese dioxide-engrafted reduced graphene oxide (3D MnO₂/rGO) hybrid aerogel was developed for acetaminophen sequestration. The synthesis involved firstly the self-assembly of GO aerogel, followed by thermal reduction and in-situ MnO₂ gro ...
... Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) in natural water pose risks to ecosystems. The concentration of CECs varies spatially and temporally, and their estimated ecotoxicities differ widely by toxicological studies. This study extensively reviewed literature on ecological risk assessment and proposed a probabilistic framework for assessing ecological risk and its uncertainties (aleatory and episte ...

... Worldwide, the anticonvulsant drug carbamazepine (CBZ) is the most frequently identified pharmaceutical residue detected in rivers. Reported chronic effects of CBZ in non-target freshwater organisms, particularly fish, include oxidative stress and damage to liver tissues. Studies on CBZ effects in fish are mostly limited to zebrafish and rainbow trout studies. Furthermore, there are only a few chr ...
... Urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are a major vector of highly ecotoxic contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) for urban and sub-urban streams. Ecotoxicological risk assessments (ERAs) provide essential information to public environmental authorities. Nevertheless, ERAs are mainly performed at very local scale (one or few WWTPs) and on pre-selected list of CECs. To cope with these limits, ...

Abstract:
... Chiral pharmaceuticals (CPs) are widely used in different areas of human life, thus they are frequently detected in different ecosystems. However, before CPs reach the environment, wastewater is subjected to different treatment processes in order to remove them. Nevertheless, such processes may affect the chirality of CPs, thus it is very important to monitor CP levels during the wastewater treatm ...
... In India, the dairy sector is an important component in rural livelihoods. To enhance production of milk, a crossbreeding strategy with exotic breeds was introduced in India in the 1960s. The unintended side effect of this strategy was a high incidence of diseases in cross-bred animals and therefore antibiotics had to be extensively used. This led to high drug-residues in the animal products like ...
... The occurrence of pharmaceutical residues in the aquatic ecosystem is an emerging concern of environmentalists. This study primarily investigated the seasonal variation of high-priority pharmaceutical residues in the Yamuna River, accompanied by 22 drains discharge from different parts of Delhi. Five sampling sites were selected for analyzing high-priority pharmaceuticals along with physico-chemic ...
... Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is being considered as a powerful technique in the area of food safety due to its rapidity, sensitivity, portability, and non-destructive features. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of SERS applications in fast detection of toxic and harmful substances in food matrix. The enhancement mechanism of SERS, classification of active subs ...
... The broad spectrum detection of veterinary drugs is very important for rapid and large-scale safe screen of animal-derived foods. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as a kind of emerged functional porous materials are quite promising in the chemical sensing and molecular detection. In this work, we report the high-performance broad spectrum detection of 15 commonly-used veterinary drugs through the ...

Abstract:
... In the EU, the requirement for a two-tier-based environmental risk assessment for a veterinary medicinal product applies for marketing authorisations submitted since 1993. This article outlines the framework for conducting environmental risk assessments and provides information about the outcomes and type of substances that often require a higher tier assessment due to environmental concerns, and ...

Abstract:
... The aquifer flowing beneath the Yucatan Peninsula, México, is one of the largest in the world and is in direct contact with the surface through “cenotes” (sinkholes) that have been documented to be contaminated with various classes of pollutants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the environmental status of the Great Mayan Aquifer through a review of data published on pollution of the ce ...

Abstract:
... Contamination of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in tap water is an emerging global issue, and there are abundant influencing factors that have an ambivalent effect on their transportation and fate. Different housing types vary in terms of water distribution system operation and design, water consumption choices, and other hydraulic factors, which potentially affect the dynamics, loadings, an ...
... Wastewater treatment plants are a major source of human pharmaceutical residues (PR) in the aquatic environment, which are considered to be of emerging concern. The microalga Chlamydomonas acidophila has shown to be a promising technology to recover the nutrients from wastewater and therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of this species to also remove PRs commonly present in ...
