Application of aerobic denitrifier for simultaneous removal of nitrogen, zinc, and bisphenol A from wastewater

Pei Hong et al.

Summary: A novel Zn(II)-resistant aerobic denitrifier was isolated in this study with high removal efficiency for nitrogen, zinc, and BPA. This denitrifier demonstrated strong auto aggregation, high hydrophobicity rate, and significant EPS production, while achieving over 95% removal efficiency for zinc and 88.8% for BPA. The removal mechanism of BPA was further explored in terms of microbial degradation, EPS adsorption, and intermediate degradation products.

Biodegradation of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) by Cupriavidus oxalaticus strain E3 isolated from sediment and characterization of monoester hydrolases

Fangyuan Chen et al.

Summary: Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are teratogenic and carcinogenic substances mainly metabolized by microorganisms in sediment. A novel strain, Cupriavidus oxalaticus strain E3, was isolated and characterized from sediment for PAEs degradation. The study systematically investigated the biodegradation of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) by strain E3, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms of PAEs degradation and expanding the range of functional bacteria through the isolation of strain E3.

Simultaneous removal of nitrogen and dimethyl phthalate from low-carbon wastewaters by using intermittently-aerated constructed wetlands

Xin Zhao et al.

Summary: Intermittently-aerated subsurface flow constructed wetlands showed efficient removal of DMP, COD, and NH4+-N under different influent DMP concentrations, with a good fitting relationship between TN removal and DMP reduction. The decomposition of DMP in CWs generated smaller molecular fractions and intermediates that could potentially serve as carbon sources for denitrification processes. These findings contribute to a better understanding of DMP removal mechanisms and offer guidance for practical applications of CWs in treating wastewater contaminated with phthalates.

Micro- and nanoplastic induced cellular toxicity in mammals: A review

Amrita Banerjee et al.

Summary: Plastic-based products are widely used in daily life but their limited biodegradability has raised pollution concerns globally, particularly micro- and nanoplastics. These pollutants are widespread in various environments and have well-documented biological effects on aquatic organisms, while their impacts on mammals remain insufficiently studied. Small size, positive charge, high dose, and presence of toxic additives or pollutants in micro/nanoplastics appear to induce cellular toxicity through oxidative stress, membrane damage, immune response, and genotoxicity.

Abundance and characteristics of microplastics in municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent: a case study of Guangzhou, China

Yanghuan Zou et al.

Summary: Wastewater treatment plants are significant sources of microplastics in freshwater and estuarine environments, even in regions like China where plastic production is high. A study in Guangzhou found that effluents from six WWTPs contained a high abundance of microplastics, particularly fibers, and advanced treatment technologies were effective in their removal. Industrial factors, such as the number of textile factories, play a significant role in the release of microplastics into the environment.
