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.

Combination of Fenton processes and biotreatment for wastewater treatment and soil remediation
Danlian Huang,Hu Chanjuan,Guangming Zeng,Min Cheng,Piao Xu,Xiaomin Gong,Rongzhong Wang,Wenjing Xue +7 more
TL;DR: This review shows a critical overview of recent researches combining Fenton processes (as pre-treatment or post-treatment) with bioremediation for treatment of wastewater or polluted soil and concluded that the combined treatment can be regarded as a novel and competitive technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current state and challenges of full-scale membrane bioreactor applications: A critical review.
TL;DR: The pros, cons and progress in full-scale MBR applications are summarized and the future challenges of MBR application are outlined from the perspectives of fouling control, pollutant removal, cost-effectiveness and competitiveness in specific fields of application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient activation of peroxymonosulfate by magnetic Mn-MGO for degradation of bisphenol A
TL;DR: The results of the batch experiments indicated that an increase in the catalyst dose and solution pH could enhance BPA degradation in the coupled Mn-MGO/PMS system and a possible mechanism of catalytic PMS activation was proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence, fate and removal of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in water and wastewater treatment plants—A review
TL;DR: In this article, the occurrence of Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in water and wastewater worldwide as well as their fate, focusing on the removal by conventional WTPs and the risk imposed to human health associated to the presence of PhACs in raw and drinking water.

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.

Decrease in anogenital distance among male infants with prenatal phthalate exposure
Shanna H. Swan,Katharina M. Main,Fan Liu,Sara Stewart,Robin L. Kruse,Antonia M. Calafat,Catherine S. Mao,J. Bruce Redmon,Christine L. Ternand,S.J. Sullivan,J.Lynn Teague +10 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that prenatal phthalate exposure at environmental levels can adversely affect male reproductive development in humans is supported.

The environmental fate of phthalate esters: A literature review
TL;DR: A comprehensive and critical review of the environmental fate of eighteen commercial phthalate esters with alkyl chains ranging from 1 to 13 carbons was performed by as discussed by the authors, which revealed that most published values exceed true water solubilities due to experimental difficulties associated with solubility determinations for these hydrophobic organic liquids.

TL;DR: The hypothesis has been put forward that humans and wildlife species adverse suffered adverse health effects after exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals and that research should focus primarily on effects on development of reproductive capability, on improved exposure assessment, and on the effects of mixtures.
