Ecological impact of antibiotics on bioremediation performance of constructed wetlands: Microbial and plant dynamics, and potential antibiotic resistance genes hotspots

Okugbe Ebiotubo Ohore et al.

Summary: Constructed wetlands are effective for treating wastewater, but the use of antibiotics can have negative impacts on microbial communities in the wetlands, affecting the removal efficiency of various nutrients in wastewater.

Removal trend of amoxicillin and tetracycline during groundwater recharging reusing: Redox sensitivity and microbial community response

Kena Qin et al.

Summary: The study found that in groundwater recharging systems, aerobic biodegradation, abiotic processes, and anoxic/anaerobic microorganisms are the main mechanisms for the removal of antibiotics. Different antibiotics have varying degradation efficiencies under different redox conditions.

Enhanced Benzofluoranthrene Removal in Surface Flow Constructed Wetlands with the Addition of Carbon

Qingqing Cao et al.

Summary: This study found that adding activated carbon and biochar to surface flow constructed wetlands can significantly improve the removal efficiency of benzofluoranthrene (BbFA) and nitrate nitrogen, reduce the absorption of PAHs by plants, and enhance microbial degradation.

Influence of hydraulic loading rate on antibiotics removal and antibiotic resistance expression in soil layer of constructed wetlands

Lin Liu et al.

Summary: The behavior of veterinary antibiotics and corresponding resistant genes in the soil layer of constructed wetlands, as well as their response to different hydraulic loading rates (HLR), were investigated in this study. Results showed that the soil layer had good performance in removing oxytetracycline and ciprofloxacin, but unsatisfactory results for sulfamethazine. The study also found that the removal efficiency of certain antibiotics in the soil layer could be affected by the hydraulic loading rate, and the expression of antibiotic resistance genes in the soil increased with higher hydraulic loading rates.

Removal of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) from wastewater using microalgae: A review

Sufia Hena et al.

Summary: Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are emerging micro-pollutants that have harmful effects on living organisms even at low doses. Previous studies have shown their presence in the environment at hazardous levels due to inefficient conventional wastewater treatment plants. Microalgae-mediated treatment offers benefits such as CO2 mitigation during culture and the use of biomass for biodiesel or biofuel production.

Occurrence, seasonal variations, and ecological risk of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in River Ganges at two holy cities of India

Vineet Singh et al.

Summary: The study in the urban stretch of River Ganges in two holy cities in India found the presence of 15 different pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) with seasonal variations. The concentrations of PPCPs in the river varied, with higher levels observed in the anthropogenically influenced lower reaches at Haridwar, and overall higher concentrations in winter compared to summer. Various PPCPs showed high detection frequency in the river, with different classes of substances exhibiting different patterns of concentration variation between seasons.

Employ of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi for pharmaceuticals ibuprofen and diclofenac removal in mesocosm-scale constructed wetlands

Bo Hu et al.

Summary: The study found that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can enhance the growth of wetland plants and improve the removal efficiency of emerging pollutants in constructed wetlands (CWs) by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes and reducing the content of harmful substances.
