A comprehensive systematic review of photocatalytic degradation of pesticides using nano TiO2

Mostafa Hadei et al.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed research articles on the photocatalytic degradation of pesticides using TiO2 nanoparticles and UV irradiation, with a total of 112 eligible articles included. Sixteen types of TiO2 were studied, with an average photodegradation efficiency of 71%. The study also discussed the impact of experimental conditions on photocatalytic activity, strategies to reduce energy requirements, and future research directions.

Comparison of life cycle toxicity assessment methods for municipal wastewater treatment with the inclusion of direct emissions of metals, PPCPs and EDCs

Siti Safirah Rashid et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the removal efficiencies of metals and PPCPs/EDCs in wastewater and found no clear patterns in their occurrence and removal efficiencies in developing and developed countries. The inclusion of metals and PPCPs/EDCs in effluent resulted in increased freshwater and terrestrial ecotoxicity potential, while human toxicity potential only saw a slight increase. Comparison of five LCIA methods indicated that human toxicity potential assessment is challenging due to inconsistencies, with CML-IA, Recipe, and IMPACT2002+ achieving consistent results for human and ecotoxicity assessment in WWTPs.
