Microbial Remediation of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Water: Mechanisms, Biotransformation, and Future Perspectives

This review critically analyzes advances in the use of bacterial, fungal, and microbial consortia for PFAS transformation via reductive and oxidative defluorination and/or metabolic reactions and discusses the influence of PFAS structural attributes, i.e., chain length and functional head groups, on microbial activitie...

Pesticide contamination in the aquatic environment: advancements in efficient and sustainable remediation approaches

The extensive use of pesticides in agriculture has resulted in their widespread occurrence in aquatic environments, raising concerns for ecosystem and human health. Their persistence, toxicity, mobility, and resistance to degradation vary substantially among compounds, with some exhibiting high persistence and bioaccum...

Microplastics in the Environment: Integrated Perspectives on Sources, Ecological Risks, Degradation Pathways, and Sustainable Management

Microplastics (MPs) are one of the emerging contaminants(ECs), which are produced wide range of human activities, and due to their persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity they increasingly threaten the environment and have a negative impact on human health. This review presents the available literature regarding sour...
