TL;DR: To the knowledge, this is the first study reporting the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater in North America, including the USA, however, concentration methods and RT-qPCR assays need to be refined and validated to increase the sensitivity of Sars- CoV- 2 RNA detection in wastewater.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compile scattered information on the different adsorbents that are used for heavy metal removal and to provide information on commercially available and natural bio-adsorbents used for removal of chromium, cadmium and copper, in particular.
Abstract: Heavy metals are discharged into water from various industries. They can be toxic or carcinogenic in nature and can cause severe problems for humans and aquatic ecosystems. Thus, the removal of heavy metals from wastewater is a serious problem. The adsorption process is widely used for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater because of its low cost, availability and eco-friendly nature. Both commercial adsorbents and bioadsorbents are used for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater, with high removal capacity. This review article aims to compile scattered information on the different adsorbents that are used for heavy metal removal and to provide information on the commercially available and natural bioadsorbents used for removal of chromium, cadmium and copper, in particular.
