Bioremediation00:46

Bioremediation

22.7K
Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.

Environmental Applications of Microorganisms

1.3K
Microorganisms play a pivotal role in maintaining ecosystem balance by recycling essential elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, as well as supporting processes like bioremediation, wastewater treatment, and biofuel production.Microbes in Elemental CyclesIn the carbon cycle, microorganisms decompose organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide via aerobic respiration. This carbon dioxide is subsequently used by photosynthetic organisms to synthesize organic compounds, closing the...

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Treatment Strategies

115
Treatment strategies for poisoning are a critical aspect of emergency medicine, focusing on preventing the absorption of toxins and enhancing their elimination. When a poisoning incident occurs, the first response is to halt exposure and decontaminate the patient, particularly through gastrointestinal (GI) methods if the poison was ingested.Gastrointestinal Decontamination Techniques:Activated charcoal is the cornerstone of GI decontamination. It works through adsorption, binding the toxin to...

Background:

  • Emerging contaminants (ECs) are substances with potential risks to human health and ecosystems.
  • ECs include endocrine disruptors, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, nanoparticles, and antibiotic resistance genes.
  • The treatment and disposal of ECs present significant challenges in water pollution control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and summarize research published in 2015 concerning the treatment of emerging contaminants.
  • To provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in EC removal technologies.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search of scientific databases for publications from 2015.
  • Categorization of reviewed studies based on contaminant type and treatment technology.
  • Analysis of treatment efficiencies and removal mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • A range of treatment technologies were investigated for EC removal, including advanced oxidation processes, adsorption, and membrane filtration.
  • Specific EC groups, such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products, showed varying removal efficiencies depending on the method used.
  • Research highlighted the need for integrated treatment approaches to address complex EC mixtures.

Conclusions:

  • Significant research efforts were dedicated to EC treatment in 2015, indicating growing concern.
  • Further development and optimization of cost-effective and sustainable treatment technologies are crucial.
