The development of affordable and efficient technologies for the removal pharmaceuticals personal care products (PPCPs) from water has recently been subject extensive attention. In this study, a black phosphorus/graphitic carbon nitride (BP-g-C3N4) heterostructure is fabricated as an extremely active metal-free photocatalyst via newly-developed exfoliation strategy. BP-g-C3N4 shows 11 times bet...

• Pharmaceuticals and personal care products co-exists with microplastics in water. Microplastic can act as a vector for flow transport of hydrophilic organics. Salinity, pH, dissolved organics, polymer, PPCP type influence the sorption mechanism. Microplastics are well known hydrophobic organic contaminants, there growing concerns regarding their potential adverse effects on ecosystems human h...

Abstract The aim of the research was to evaluate response three tropical species (Heliconia psittacorum, Ciperus haspan, Hedychium coronarium), respect their tolerance and removal capacity pharmaceutical personal care products (PPCPs), namely acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen, methyl hydrojasmonate (cis – MDJM), galaxolide, tonalide, caffeine, naproxen, ketoprofen, diclofenac. study undertaken in...

Antibiotic resistance (AR) is a growing health concern worldwide, and the Arctic represents an understudied region in terms of AR. This study aimed to quantify AR genes from effluent released wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada, thus creating baseline reference for future evaluations. Water, sediment, truncate softshell clam (Mya truncata) tissue samples were compared was...

The persistence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in water has been a cause for concern several years. Many studies have successfully used TiO2/UV photocatalysis to remove these compounds from water. In order optimize systems large-scale treatment, the effects reaction matrix, methods improve energy efficiency, easy catalyst separation must be considered. following study exa...

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) harm ecosystems human health. The focus is now being put on regulating discharges at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Stressful lonely lifestyles, accentuated by the COVID-19 outbreak, have led to an increase in consumption of antidepressants, particularly form Fluoxetine (FLX). A highly effective process for removal PPCPs key importance ec...

Land application of biosolids is one potential source pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) into agricultural soils. Degradation an important natural attenuation pathway that affects the fate transport PPCPs in soil system could alter process. The present study assessed effect individual mixture compound environments on biodegradation rate half-life three non-steroidal anti-inflamm...
