Nano-adsorbents an effective candidate for removal of toxic pharmaceutical compounds from aqueous environment: A critical review on emerging trends.
Rajendran Neha,Srikanth Adithya,Ramesh Sai Jayaraman,Kannappan Panchamoorthy Gopinath,Pandimadevi M,Loganathan Praburaman,Jayaseelan Arun +6 more
TL;DR: The fate and toxicity of PhACs were explored in detail, aiming to elucidate their occurrence and transmission in wastewater treatment systems (WWTPs) and the recovery and reuse ability of nano-adsorbents also forms an integral part of its application in the removal ofPhACs and has hence been delineated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drug pollution & Sustainable Development Goals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that drugs in general, and growing drug pollution in particular, affects the SDGs in deeper, not readily apparent ways, and outline and discuss how drug pollution can affect SDGs and even threaten their achievement.
