Ongoing honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony losses are of significant international concern because of the essential role these insects play in pollinating crops. Both chemical and non-chemical stressors have been implicated as possible contributors to colony failure; however, the potential role(s) of commonly-used neonicotinoid insecticides has emerged as particularly concerning. Neonicotinoids ...

The removal of dyes from wastewater, is one of the major environmental concerns due to their high color density, and they are toxic at even low concentrations. Adsorption process by advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) has been found to be a more effective method than classical methods for treating dye-containing wastewater. This research, is to investigate the decolorization abilities of az...

In this work, we have tested a photocatalytic material consisting of core SiO2/Fe3O4 coated with TiO2 (Magnox) for plausible tertiary wastewater treatment. For this, pilot plant 45 L equipped an Ultraviolet light (UVC) lamp was employed to study the degradation model contaminant, enrofloxacin (ENR), as well water disinfection (elimination Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens). The influ...

Water pollution is a globally recognized serious problem that hindering human development and societal progress. One of the most feasible methods to eliminate this wastewater treatment reuse. Emerging micropollutants, such as pesticides, are notorious for not being removed using traditional methods. Therefore, novel techniques advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been proposed, among which ...

Abstract Plastics are artificial synthetic organic polymers that have been used in every area of daily life. However, because their slow degradation rate, use is contentious. The treatment the surface sample considered necessary as enzymatic or bacterial attach not possible if plastic environment ideal. main topic this work investigation effect different advanced oxidation processes (AOP) on ne...

As a typical toxic organophosphate and emerging contaminant, tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) is resistant to conventional water treatment processes. Studies on advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) degrade TCEP have received increasing attention, but the detailed mechanism not yet fully understood. This study investigated mechanistic details of degradation promoted by OH using density functi...

Ideally, a Systems Toxicology (ST) approach is aimed at by (eco)toxicologists, i.e. multidisciplinary area incorporating classical toxicological concepts with omics technologies, and the understanding of this through computational data sciences, chemistry, mathematics, physics modelling. As outlined in several public reports (e.g. from ECHA-European Chemical Agency EFSA-European Food Safety Aut...

The present study was conducted in order to investigate the efficiency of different advanced oxidation processes both individually and combination with biological method for removal color chemical oxygen demand (COD) from wastewater pulp paper industry. Advanced include ozone, Fenton, hydrogen peroxide, photo-Fenton. Biologically treated successively subjected (AOPs). optimum conditions ozone t...
