Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and fate of emerging contaminants in municipal wastewater treatment plants from different geographical regions-a review.
TL;DR: Many antibiotics were detected in the influents and effluents of WWTPs at concentrations close to or exceeding the predicted no-effect concentrations (PNECs) for resistance selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in the biological and chemical treatment technologies for emerging contaminant removal from wastewater: A critical review.
TL;DR: Results showed that endocrine disruption chemicals (EDCs) were better removed by membrane bioreactor, activated sludge and aeration processes among different biological processes.

Metal-Organic Frameworks for the Removal of Emerging Organic Contaminants in Water.
Sara Rojas,Patricia Horcajada +1 more
TL;DR: This review highlights the advances in the use of MOFs in the elimination (adsorption and/or degradation) of EOCs from water, classifying them by the nature of the contaminant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of secondary wastewater treatment methods for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern implicated in crop uptake and antibiotic resistance spread: A review
Pawel Krzeminski,Maria Concetta Tomei,Popi Karaolia,Alette A.M. Langenhoff,C. Marisa R. Almeida,Ewa Felis,Fanny Gritten,Henrik Rasmus Andersen,Telma Fernandes,Célia M. Manaia,Luigi Rizzo,Despo Fatta-Kassinos +11 more
TL;DR: Technological solutions including conventional activated sludge, membrane bioreactors, moving bed biofilm reactors, and nature-based solutions such as constructed wetlands are compared for the achievable removal efficiencies of the selected CEC and their potential of acting as reservoirs of ARB&ARGs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging contaminants of high concern and their enzyme-assisted biodegradation - A review.
TL;DR: Immobilization is highlighted as a promising approach to improve enzyme catalytic performance and stabilization, as well as, to protect the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme against the undesirable consequences of harsh reaction environment.

Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic wastewater contaminants in U.S. streams, 1999-2000: a national reconnaissance.
Dana W. Kolpin,Edward T. Furlong,Michael T. Meyer,E. Michael Thurman,Steven D. Zaugg,Larry B. Barber,Herbert T. Buxton +6 more
TL;DR: The U.S. Geological Survey used five newly developed analytical methods to measure concentrations of 95 organic wastewater contaminants (OWCs) in water samples from a network of 139 streams across 30 states during 1999 and 2000 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ammonia monooxygenase structural gene amoA as a functional marker: molecular fine-scale analysis of natural ammonia-oxidizing populations.
TL;DR: The data suggest that amoA represents a very powerful molecular tool for analyzing indigenous ammonia-oxidizing communities due to (i) its specificity, (ii) its fine-scale resolution of closely related populations, and (iii) the fact that a functional trait rather than a phylogenetic trait is detected.

Archaea predominate among ammonia-oxidizing prokaryotes in soils
Sven Leininger,Tim Urich,Michael Schloter,Lorenz Schwark,Ji Qi,Graeme W. Nicol,James I. Prosser,Stephan C. Schuster,Christa Schleper +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that archaeal ammonia oxidizers are more abundant in soils than their well-known bacterial counterparts, and crenarchaeota may be the most abundant ammonia-oxidizing organisms in soil ecosystems on Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging organic contaminants in groundwater: A review of sources, fate and occurrence
TL;DR: Nanogram-microgram per litre concentrations are present in groundwater for a large range of EOCs as well as metabolites and transformation products and under certain conditions may pose a threat to freshwater bodies for decades due to relatively long groundwater residence times.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate and distribution of pharmaceuticals in wastewater and sewage sludge of the conventional activated sludge (CAS) and advanced membrane bioreactor (MBR) treatment
TL;DR: The results obtained for the solid phase indicated that MBR wastewater treatment yielding higher biodegradation rate could reduce the load of pollutants in the sludge, and sorption to sludge could be a relevant removal pathway only for several compounds.
