Ozonation/adsorption hybrid treatment system for improved removal of natural organic matter and organic micropollutants from water - A mini review and future perspectives

Paripurnanda Loganathan et al.

Summary: Elevated concentrations of natural organic matter (NOM) and organic micropollutants (OMPs) can contaminate drinking water. Current water treatment technologies are not always successful in removing all their constituents. Ozonation and adsorption are two advanced processes used to treat NOM and OMPs, but their efficiency is limited due to the diverse characteristics of the components. Integration of these processes has shown progress but further improvement is needed.

Early Warnings by Liver Organoids on Short- and Long-Chain PFAS Toxicity

Stefano Palazzolo et al.

Summary: This study compares the effects of long-chain and short-chain PFAS on mouse liver organoids, revealing the impact of these compounds on organoid morphology and enzyme activity. Long-chain PFAS exhibit higher toxicity, while short-chain PFAS only have a limited effect on organoid morphology. The study also shows that organoid testing could serve as a fast and reproducible platform for assessing the toxicity of pollutants.

Sorption and desorption kinetics of PFOS to pristine microplastic

Bettie Cormier et al.

Summary: This study investigated the sorption processes of PFOS on PE microplastic particles and the desorption of PFOS from PE MPs under simulated digestive conditions. The results showed that smaller particles had higher PFOS concentrations sorbed onto PE and were also more easily desorbed. Prolonged exposure of PE MPs to PFOS led to higher concentrations adsorbed by PE MPs, increasing the risk of transferring relevant concentrations of PFOS during digestion.

Dipendu Saha et al.

Summary: Per- and polyfluoro alkyl substances (PFAS) are emerging pollutants in water sources worldwide, raising concerns about their potential health impacts. One proposed method for PFAS removal is through adsorption in porous carbons, which have shown promising features but face challenges in practical applications. By modifying the structure and surface functionalities of porous carbons, better adsorption efficiency for PFAS can be achieved. Incorporating computational analysis may aid in designing superior porous carbons for PFAS removal.
