Fate of emerging organic contaminants in Chinese wastewater treatment plants
… concern about the widespread occurrence of emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) in the aquatic environment which could pose potential risks to humans and ecosystems. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are significant sources and major routes of EOCs entering the environment. There is …

Potential of Ozone and Hydroxyl Radicals to Degrade Emerging Organic Contaminants
… processes are necessary for the treatment of emerging organic contaminants. Traditional treatment processes do not filter or treat these contaminants causing humans and animals to come into contact and ingest them, both causing illness. Advanced oxidation processes are a good alternative …

Fate and remediation of emerging organic contaminants in aquatic and soil environments
… occurrence and growing abundance of many organic micropollutants in aquatic and soil environments poses significant risks to human health and ecosystems. While past research has improved our understanding of the processes controlling the fate and treatment of some classes of synthetic …

Assessing the Ability of Marine Plastic Waste to Adsorb Heavy Metals and Emerging Organic Contaminants from Water
… the marine environment is their ability to bind contaminants and act as vector for their long-range transport. This may include established and emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, radionuclides, flame retardants, industrial chemicals, etc. Meanwhile, these same contaminants present …

Prediction of the Degradation of Emerging Contaminants During Oxidative Treatment via Analysis of Reaction Rate Constants
… been paying increased attention to unregulated emerging organic contaminants. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), which produce hydroxyl radicles (•OH), have been developed and implemented to remove recalcitrant emerging contaminants left by conventional treatment processes. The current …

Investigating the role of nonantibiotic chemical contaminants in the evolution of antibiotic resistance
… study focus. However, a variety of chemical contaminants are present in natural and built environments. It is unclear how these nonantibiotic contaminants would affect the selection of antibiotic resistance. Aimed to answer this question, my work systematically investigated the role of …

Removal of Organic Micro-Pollutants from Water Using Sewage Sludge Based Composite Adsorbents
… On the other hand, these wastes are rich in organic materials, metals, and inorganic minerals and could be sustainable resources if utilized properly. The main purpose of this dissertation study was, therefore, to convert these wastes into composite adsorbents, and then use these adsorbents …
