Cadmium and ketoprofen accumulation influences aquatic ecosystem demonstrated using in-vivo zebrafish model. Drug Chem Toxicol 2024:1-16. [PMID: 38910278 DOI: 10.1080/01480545.2024.2364240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
The growing concern about pollution and toxicity in aquatic as well as terrestrial organisms is predominantly caused due to waterborne exposure and poses a risk to environmental systems and human health. This study addresses the co-toxic effects of cadmium (Cd) and ketoprofen (KPF), representing heavy metal and pharmaceutical discharge pollutants, respectively, in aquatic ecosystems. A 96-h acute toxicity assessment was conducted using zebrafish embryos. The results indicated that high dosages of KPF (10, 15, and 100 µg/mL) and Cd (10 and 15 µg/mL) reduced survivability and caused concentration-dependent deformities such as scoliosis and yolk sac edema. These findings highlight the potential defects in development and metabolism, as evidenced by hemolysis tests demonstrating dose-dependent effects on blood cell integrity. Furthermore, this study employs adult zebrafish for a 42-day chronic exposure to Cd and KPF (10 and 100 µg/L) alone or combined (10 + 10 and 100 + 100 µg/L) to assess organ-specific Cd and KPF accumulation in tissue samples. Organ-specific accumulation patterns underscore complex interactions impacting respiratory, metabolic, and detoxification functions. Prolonged exposure induces reactive oxygen species formation, compromising antioxidant defense systems. Histological examinations reveal structural changes in gills, gastrointestinal, kidney, and liver tissues, suggesting impairments in respiratory, osmoregulatory, nutritional, and immune functions. This study emphasizes the importance of conducting extensive research on co-toxic effects to assist with environmental risk assessments and safeguard human health and aquatic ecosystems.

Bio-electrochemical degradation of carbamazepine (CBZ): A comprehensive study on effectiveness, degradation pathway, and toxicological assessment. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 360:121161. [PMID: 38761626 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
Recent attention on the detrimental effects of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in natural water has spurred researchers to develop advanced wastewater treatment methods. Carbamazepine (CBZ), a widely recognized anticonvulsant, has often been a primary focus in numerous studies due to its prevalence and resistance to breaking down. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of a bio-electrochemical system in breaking down CBZ in polluted water and to assess the potential harmful effects of the treated wastewater. The results revealed bio-electro degradation process demonstrated a collaborative effect, achieving the highest CBZ degradation compared to electrodegradation and biodegradation techniques. Notably, a maximum CBZ degradation efficiency of 92.01% was attained using the bio-electrochemical system under specific conditions: Initial CBZ concentration of 60 mg/L, pH level at 7, 0.5% (v/v) inoculum dose, and an applied potential of 10 mV. The degradation pathway established by identifying intermediate products via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, revealed the complete breakdown of CBZ without any toxic intermediates or end products. This finding was further validated through in vitro and in vivo toxicity assays, confirming the absence of harmful remnants after the degradation process.

Wen H, Cheng D, Chen Y, Yue W, Zhang Z. Review on ultrasonic technology enhanced biological treatment of wastewater. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 925:171260. [PMID: 38417513 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024]
Abstract
As a clean, sustainable and efficient technology of wastewater treatment, ultrasonic irradiation has gained special attention in wastewater treatment. It has been widely studied for degrading pollutants and enhancing biological treatment processes for wastewater treatment. This review focuses on the mechanism and updated information of ultrasonic technology to enhance biological treatment of wastewater. The mechanism involved in improving biological treatment by ultrasonic includes: 1) degradation of refractory substances and release carbon from sludges, 2) promotion of mass transfer and change of cell permeability, 3) facilitation of enzyme-catalyzed reactions and 4) influence of cell growth. Based on the above discussion, the effects of ultrasound on the enhancement of wastewater biological treatment processes can be categorized into indirect and direct ways. The indirect effect of ultrasonic waves in enhancing biological treatment is mainly achieved through the use of high-intensity ultrasonic waves. These waves can be used as a pretreatment to improve biodegradability of the wastewater. Moreover, the ultrasonic-treated sludge or its supernatant can serve as a carbon source for the treatment system. Low-intensity ultrasound is often employed to directly enhance the biological treatment of wastewater. The propose of this process is to improve activated sludge, domesticate polyphosphate-accumulating organisms, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, and anammox bacteria, and achieve speedy start-up of partial nitrification and anammox. It has shown remarkable effects on maintaining stable operation, tolerating adverse conditions (i.e., low temperature, low C/N, etc.), resisting shock load (i.e., organic load, toxic load, etc.), and collapse recovery. These results indicate a promising future for biological wastewater treatment. Furthermore, virous ultrasonic reactor designs were presented, and their potential for engineering application was discussed.

Abstract
Ketoprofen, a bicyclic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug commonly used in human and veterinary medicine, has recently been cited as an environmental contaminant that raises concerns for ecological well-being. It poses a growing threat due to its racemic mixture, enantiomers, and transformation products, which have ecotoxicological effects on various organisms, including invertebrates, vertebrates, plants, and microorganisms. Furthermore, ketoprofen is bioaccumulated and biomagnified throughout the food chain, threatening the ecosystem function. Surprisingly, despite these concerns, ketoprofen is not currently considered a priority substance. While targeted eco-pharmacovigilance for ketoprofen has been proposed, data on ketoprofen as a pharmaceutical contaminant are limited and incomplete. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the most recent findings (from 2017 to March 2023) regarding the global distribution of ketoprofen in the environment, its ecotoxicity towards aquatic animals and plants, and available removal methods. Special emphasis is placed on understanding how ketoprofen affects microorganisms that play a pivotal role in Earth's ecosystems. The review broadly covers various approaches to ketoprofen biodegradation, including whole-cell fungal and bacterial systems as well as enzyme biocatalysts. Additionally, it explores the potential of adsorption by algae and phytoremediation for removing ketoprofen. This review will be of interest to a wide range of readers, including ecologists, microbiologists, policymakers, and those concerned about pharmaceutical pollution.

Abstract
Proper treatment of hazardous contaminants in the air, land, and water is crucial to environmental remediation. Sonocatalysis, by using ultrasound and suitable catalysts, has shown its potential in organic pollutant removal. In this work, K3PMo12O40/WO3 sonocatalysts were fabricated via a facile solution method at room temperature. Techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the products. By using the K3PMo12O40/WO3 sonocatalyst, an ultrasound-assisted advanced oxidation process has been developed for the catalytic degradation of methyl orange and acid red 88. Almost all dyes were degraded within 120 min of ultrasound baths, proving that the K3PMo12O40/WO3 sonocatalyst has the advantage of speeding up the decomposition of contaminants. The impacts of key parameters, including catalyst dosage, dye concentration, dye pH, and ultrasonic power were evaluated to understand and reach optimized conditions in sonocatalysis. The remarkable performance of K3PMo12O40/WO3 in the sonocatalytic degradation of pollutants provides a new strategy for the application of K3PMo12O40 in sonocatalysis.

Performance and mechanism of a novel S-scheme heterojunction sonocatalyst CuS/BaWO 4 for degradation of bisphenol A by ultrasonic activation. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 216:114720.

Abstract
A novel CuS/BaWO4 heterojunction catalyst was prepared and characterized. Taking bisphenol A as the target pollutant for catalytic degradation, the sonocatalytic activity of CuS/BaWO4 composite was evaluated, and the combination with persulfate improved the sonocatalytic degradation of bisphenol A. The results showed that CuS/BaWO4 composite had good sonocatalytic degradation activity for bisphenol A, and the degradation rate was 70.99% ± 1.46%. After combined with persulfate, the degradation rate was further increased to 95.34% ± 0.10%, and the reaction time was relatively shortened. The results of the trapping experiment and calculated energy band positions showed that the formation of S-scheme heterojunction and the formation of hydroxyl radicals and holes were the key to the catalytic degradation of bisphenol A by CuS/BaWO4 composite. In this study, a new CuS/BaWO4 heterojunction sonocatalyst was synthesized. The catalyst can efficiently remove bisphenol A from the water environment and can be used as a potential solution for endocrine disruptor pollution in the water environment.

Abstract
Food safety and food waste have always been hot topics of discussion in recent years. However, the infection of human pathogenic bacteria and the waste of food resources caused by microbial-contaminated food remains common. Although traditional sterilization technology has been very mature, it causes changes in food flavor and excessive energy consumption to a certain extent. Moreover, the widespread bacterial resistance has also sounded a warning for researchers and finding a new alternative to antibiotics is urgently needed. The application of sonodynamic sterilization technology in medical treatment has aroused the interest of researchers. It provides ideas for new food sterilization technology. As a new non-thermal sterilization technology, sonodynamic sterilization technology has strong penetration, safety, less residue and by-products, and will less change the quality of the food itself. Therefore, sonodynamic sterilization technology has great potential applied in food sterilization technology. This review describes the concept of sonodynamic sterilization technology, the sterilization mechanism of sonodynamic sterilization and the inactivation mechanism of various pathogens, the classification and application of sonosensitizers, and the ultrasonic technology in sonodynamic sterilization in the application over the recent years. It provides a scientific reference for the application of sonodynamic sterilization technology in the field of food sterilization.

Abstract
Water scarcity and the accumulation of recalcitrance compounds into the environment are the main reasons behind the attraction of researchers to use advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Many AOP systems have been used to treat acetaminophen (ACT) from an aqueous medium, which leads to generating different kinetics, mechanisms, and by-products. In this work, state-of-the-art studies on ACT by-products and their biotoxicity, as well as proposed degradation pathways, have been collected, organized, and summarized. In addition, the Fukui function was used for predicting the most reactive sites in the ACT molecule. The most frequently detected by-products in this review were hydroquinone, 1,4-benzoquinone, 4-aminophenol, acetamide, oxalic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, 1,2,4-trihydroxy benzene, and maleic acid. Both the experimental and prediction tests revealed that N-(3,4-dihydroxy phenyl) acetamide was mutagenic. Meanwhile, N-(2,4-dihydroxy phenyl) acetamide and malonic acid were only found to be mutagenic in the prediction test. The findings of the LC50 (96 h) test revealed that benzaldehyde is the most toxic ACT by-products and hydroquinone, N-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)formamide, 4-methylbenzene-1,2-diol, benzoquinone, 4-aminophenol, benzoic acid, 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene, 4-nitrophenol, and 4-aminobenzene-1,2-diol considered harmful. The release of them into the environment without treatment may threaten the ecosystem. The degradation pathway based on the computational method was matched with the majority of ACT proposed pathways and with the most frequent ACT by-products. This study may contribute to enhance the degradation of ACT by AOP systems.
