Effects of prolonged application of peracetic acid-based disinfectant on recirculating aquaculture systems stocked with Atlantic salmon parr. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 942:173762. [PMID: 38852875 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.173762] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
The use of recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) production has become increasingly common. RAS water disinfection plays a crucial role on its biosecurity. Peracetic acid (PAA) is a promising disinfectant due to its powerful oxidative properties, broad antimicrobial spectrum, and rapid degradation into no harmful compounds. This study focused on assessing the consequences of prolonged application of a PAA-based disinfectant in a RAS stocked with salmon parr. The experiment included three treatment groups in triplicate: 0 mg/L PAA (control), 0.1 mg/L PAA, and 1 mg/L PAA, using nine-replicated RAS with a total of 360 fish (14.8 ± 2.3 g; N = 40/RAS). The study spanned 28 days, with samples collected on days 0, 14, and 28. The analyzed parameters were water quality, and fish parameters, including external welfare indicators, gill histology, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species (ROC/RNC), oxidative stress biomarkers related to DNA and protein, cellular DNA damage, and global gene expression. While water quality remained relatively stable, there was an increase in bacterial populations in the groups exposed to PAA, particularly 1 mg/L PAA. Fish weight did not differ between the control and PAA-exposed groups. TAC, ROC/RNC, and oxidative stress biomarkers exhibited similar trends. The study identified >400 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the skin, gill, and olfactory organ, with many of these DEGs associated with immune responses. Comparing the transcriptomic profiles of the three tissue organs revealed that the olfactory organ was the most reactive to PAA treatment. This study shows that calculated PAA concentrations of 0.1 mg/L and 1 mg/L in the pump-sump, contributed to an increase of bacteria whereas no detectable differences in health and welfare of salmon parr were found. These findings are promising for the implementation of PAA-based disinfectants in RAS stoked with Atlantic salmon parr.

Phenotypic and proteomic differences in biofilm formation of two Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains in static and dynamic flow environments. Biofilm 2024; 7:100197. [PMID: 38706985 PMCID: PMC11066574 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioflm.2024.100197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is a Gram-positive non-motile bacterium capable of producing biofilms that contribute to the colonization of surfaces in a range of different environments. In this study, we compared two strains, WCFS1 and CIP104448, in their ability to produce biofilms in static and dynamic (flow) environments using an in-house designed flow setup. This flow setup enables us to impose a non-uniform flow velocity profile across the well. Biofilm formation occurred at the bottom of the well for both strains, under static and flow conditions, where in the latter condition, CIP104448 also showed increased biofilm formation at the walls of the well in line with the higher hydrophobicity of the cells and the increased initial attachment efficacy compared to WCFS1. Fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy showed open 3D structured biofilms formed under flow conditions, containing live cells and ∼30 % damaged/dead cells for CIP104448, whereas the WCFS1 biofilm showed live cells closely packed together. Comparative proteome analysis revealed minimal changes between planktonic and static biofilm cells of the respective strains suggesting that biofilm formation within 24 h is merely a passive process. Notably, observed proteome changes in WCFS1 and CIP104448 flow biofilm cells indicated similar and unique responses including changes in metabolic activity, redox/electron transfer and cell division proteins for both strains, and myo-inositol production for WCFS1 and oxidative stress response and DNA damage repair for CIP104448 uniquely. Exposure to DNase and protease treatments as well as lethal concentrations of peracetic acid showed highest resistance of flow biofilms. For the latter, CIP104448 flow biofilm even maintained its high disinfectant resistance after dispersal from the bottom and from the walls of the well. Combining all results highlights that L. plantarum biofilm structure and matrix, and physiological state and stress resistance of cells is strain dependent and strongly affected under flow conditions. It is concluded that consideration of effects of flow on biofilm formation is essential to better understand biofilm formation in different settings, including food processing environments.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e31521. [PMID: 38813225 PMCID: PMC11133892 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024] Open
Abstract
The use of flume tanks for tomato processing has been identified as a potential source of cross-contamination, which could result in foodborne illness. This study's objective was to assess the efficacy of peroxyacetic acid (PAA) at a concentration of ≤80 mg/L in preventing Salmonella enterica cross-contamination under various organic loads in a benchtop model tomato flume tank. The stability of 80 mg/L PAA at different chemical oxygen demand (COD) levels was also tested. Tomatoes were spot inoculated with a five-serovar rifampin-resistant (rif+) Salmonella cocktail (106 or 108 colony forming unit (CFU)/tomato). Inoculated (n = 3) and uninoculated (n = 9) tomatoes were introduced into the flume system containing 0-80 mg/L PAA and 0 or 300 mg/L COD. After washing for 30, 60, or 120 s, uninoculated tomatoes were sampled and analyzed for cross-contamination. All experiments were conducted in triplicate. Increasing the organic load (measured as COD) affected the stability of PAA in water with significantly faster dissociation when exposed to 300 mg/L COD. The concentration of PAA, inoculum level, COD levels, and time intervals were all significant factors that affected cross-contamination. Cross-contamination occurred at the high inoculum level (108 CFU/tomato) even when 80 mg/L PAA was present in the model flume tank, regardless of the organic load level. When the tomatoes were contaminated at a level of 106 CFU/tomato, concentrations as low as 5 mg/L of PAA were effective in preventing cross-contamination at 0 mg/L COD; however, 100 % tomatoes (9/9) were positive when the organic load increased to 300 mg/L COD. When the PAA concentration was increased to 10 mg/L, it effectively prevented cross-contamination in the tank, regardless of the presence of organic load. These results suggest that using PAA at concentrations below the maximum limit remains effective in limiting bacterial cross-contamination and offers a more environment-friendly option for tomato packinghouse operators.

Mechanically treated Mn 2O 3 triggers peracetic acid activation for superior non-radical oxidation of micropollutants: Identification of reactive complexes. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 255:121486.

Abstract
This study used a simple mechanical ball milling strategy to significantly improve the ability of Mn2O3 to activate peracetic acid (PAA) for sustainable and efficient degradation of organic micropollutant (like bisphenol A, BPA). BPA was successfully removed and detoxified via PAA activation by the bm-Mn2O3 within 30 min under neutral environment, with the BPA degradation kinetic rate improved by 3.4 times. Satisfactory BPA removal efficiency can still be achieved over a wide pH range, in actual water and after reuse of bm-Mn2O3 for four cycles. The change in hydrophilicity of Mn2O3 after ball milling evidently elevated the affinity of Mn2O3 for binding to PAA, while the reduction in particle size exposed more active sites contributing partially to catalytic oxidation. Further analysis revealed that BPA oxidation in the ball mill-treated Mn2O3 (bm-Mn2O3)/PAA process mainly depends on the bm-Mn2O3-PAA complex (i.e., Mn(III)-OO(O)CCH3) mediated non-radical pathway rather than R-O• and Mn(IV). Especially, the existence of the Mn(III)-PAA complex was definitely verified by in situ Raman spectroscopy and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). Simultaneously, density functional theory calculations determined that PAA adsorbs readily on manganese sites thereby favoring the formation of Mn(III)-OO(O)CCH3 complexes. This study advances an in-depth understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved in the manganese oxide-catalyzed activation of PAA for superior non-radical oxidation of micropollutants.

Abstract
There is an urgent need to develop efficient and environmentally friendly decontaminants for poultry products. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the practical application of peroxyacetic acid (PAA) as a replacement for sodium hypochlorite (SH) to sterilize fresh chicken carcasses, using microbial, color, and electronic-nose analyses. We evaluated the decontamination effects of different concentrations of PAA and SH on chicken carcasses. The bactericidal effects of PAA at pH 3, 7, and 9, and SH at pH 10, at concentrations ranging from 100 to 500 ppm on coliform bacteria, total bacteria, and Salmonella spp. were evaluated. PAA induced a similar bactericidal effect at lower concentrations than SH. Therefore, at the same concentration and treatment time, PAA showed better bactericidal effects than SH. Although treatment with PAA (pH 3) and SH (pH 10) resulted in considerable discoloration, the degree of discoloration decreased when the pH of PAA was increased to 7 and 9. Therefore, by increasing the pH of PAA, the discoloration effect on chicken carcasses can be reduced without altering the microbial-reduction effect. Electronic-nose analysis showed that the flavor of the chicken was almost unaffected by volatile components at a treatment time < 30 min. Therefore, this study experimentally identified the optimal PAA concentration for the decontamination of chicken carcasses. The study findings provide a theoretical basis for the replacement of traditional bactericides, such as SH, with PAA for the production of poultry products.

Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) emerges as a promising disinfectant and oxidant applied worldwide, and its application has been broadened for advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in wastewater treatment. Current studies on transition metal-activated AOPs utilized relatively high concentrations of catalysts, leading to potential secondary pollution concerns. This study boosts the understanding of reaction mechanism in PAA activation system under a low-level concentration. Herein, trace levels of Co(II) (1 μM) and practical dosages of PAA (50-250 μM) were employed, achieving noticeable ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation efficiencies (75.8-99.0%) within 20 min. Two orders of magnitude of the CIP's antibacterial activity significantly decreased after Co(II)/PAA AOP treatment, which suggested the effective ecological risk control capability of the reaction system. The degradation performed well in various water matrices and the primary reactive species is proposed to be CoHPO4-OO(O)CCH3 complexes with scavenging tests and electron paramagnetic resonance tests. The degradation pathway of fluoroquinolones including piperazine ring-opening (dealkylation and oxidation), defluorination, and decarboxylation, were systematically elucidated. This study boosts a comprehensive and novel understanding of PAA-based AOP for CIP degradation.

Abstract
The exacerbated global water scarcity and stricter water directives are leading to an increment in the recycled water use, requiring the development of new cost-effective advanced water treatments to provide safe water to the population. In this sense, peracetic acid (PAA, CH3C(O)OOH) is an environmentally friendly disinfectant with the potential to challenge the dominance of chlorine in large wastewater treatment plants in the near future. PAA can be used as an alternative oxidant to H2O2 to carry out the Fenton reaction, and it has recently been proven as more effective than H2O2 towards emerging pollutants degradation at circumneutral pH values and in the presence of anions. PAA activation by homogeneous and heterogeneous iron-based materials generates - besides HO• and FeO2+ - more selective CH3C(O)O• and CH3C(O)OO• radicals, slightly scavenged by typical HO• quenchers (e.g., bicarbonates), which extends PAA use to complex water matrices. This is reflected in an exponential progress of iron-PAA publications during the last few years. Although some reviews of PAA general properties and uses in water treatment were recently published, there is no account on the research and environmental applications of PAA activation by Fe-based materials, in spite of its gratifying progress. In view of these statements, here we provide a holistic review of the types of iron-based PAA activation systems and analyse the diverse iron compounds employed to date (e.g., ferrous and ferric salts, ferrate(VI), spinel ferrites), the use of external ferric reducing/chelating agents (e.g., picolinic acid, l-cysteine, boron) and of UV-visible irradiation systems, analysing the mechanisms involved in each case. Comparison of PAA activation by iron vs. other transition metals (particularly cobalt) is also discussed. This work aims at providing a thorough understanding of the Fe/PAA-based processes, facilitating useful insights into its advantages and limitations, overlooked issues, and prospects, leading to its popularisation and know-how increment.

Abstract
Pelargonic acid vanillylamide (PAVA), a capsaicin-type dacryagogue agent utilized for counter-terrorism and riot control, possesses a low stimulus threshold. This characteristic can lead to environmental contamination following its application and may easily result in secondary stimulation to personnel. Cobalt-doped Ti3C2-MXene nanosheets (Co3O4/Ti3C2@C) were synthesized for the purpose of activating peracetic acid (PAA) and degrading PAVA. A carbon layer was coated on the surface of Ti3C2-MXene nanosheets to address the challenge of poor oxygen resistance in MXenes, thus preventing a significant decline in surface reactivity. The BET surface area of Co3O4/Ti3C2@C was expanded to 149.6 m2/g, significantly exceeding that of Ti3C2 (13.0 m2/g) and Co3O4 (56.4 m2/g). With 0.5 mg/mL of Co3O4/Ti3C2@C and 0.35 mM of PAA, 100 mg/L of PAVA was completely degraded within 60 min. The augmented BET surface area and the presence of more active sites confer remarkable PAA activation and catalytic degradation properties toward PAVA. Parameters such as initial pH, PAVA concentration, catalyst dosage, and PAA concentration on PAVA degradation were systematically assessed. Furthermore, the reusability and stability of the nanocomposite were substantiated through recycling tests. Radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance analysis demonstrated the acetylperoxy radical (CH3CO3) as the primary species responsible for PAVA degradation. This research serves as an illustration of the utilization of MXene and transition metal activated PAA in wastewater treatment.

Lin HHH, Lin AYC. Peracetic acid as an alternative disinfectant for micropollutants degradation and disinfection byproducts control in outdoor swimming pools. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 464:132988. [PMID: 37979421 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.132988] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/20/2023]
Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) has garnered significant interest as a novel alternative to chlorine-based disinfectants for water treatment due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and its ability of reactive species generation when exposed to UV light. However, limited studies have investigated micropollutant degradation in the presence of PAA under solar irradiation. This is the first study to comprehensively investigate the photodegradation of caffeine (CAF) and 4-methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC) and the removal of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in the presence of PAA under simulated solar light. The study revealed that the photodegradation of CAF and 4-MBC was significantly enhanced in the presence of PAA, following pseudo-first-order kinetics (R2 > 0.98) with reaction rates (kobs) of 0.220 and 0.111 h-1, respectively. In addition, substantial reduction of 21 DBPs, including trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids and haloacetonitriles, and no DBPs formation were observed in the presence of PAA and simulated solar irradiation. The proportion of coexisting H2O2 in the PAA solution considerably influenced target compounds degradation. CAF and 4-MBC were degraded faster under acidic conditions than under alkaline conditions. Hydroxyl radicals (·OH) dominated the degradation of CAF at different pH values, while direct photolysis and other reactive species played a major role in the degradation of 4-MBC.

Abstract
Salmonella remains a top bacterial pathogen implicated in several food-borne outbreaks, despite the use of antimicrobials and sanitizers during production and processing. While these chemicals have been effective, Salmonella has shown the ability to survive and persist in poultry processing environments. This can be credited to its microbial ability to adapt and develop/acquire tolerance and/or resistance to different antimicrobial agents including oxidizers, acids (organic and inorganic), phenols, and surfactants. Moreover, there are several factors in processing environments that can limit the efficacy of these antimicrobials, thus allowing survival and persistence. This mini-review examines the antimicrobial activity of common disinfectants/sanitizers used in poultry processing environments and the ability of Salmonella to respond with innate or acquired tolerance and survive exposure to persists in such environments. Instead of relying on a single antimicrobial agent, the right combination of different disinfectants needs to be developed to target multiple pathways within Salmonella.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 463:132868.

Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) disinfection is an emerging wastewater disinfection process. Its advantages include excellent pathogen inactivation performance and little generation of toxic and harmful disinfection byproducts. The objective of this review is to comprehensively analyze the experimental data and scientific information related to PAA-based disinfection processes. Kinetic models and modeling frameworks are discussed to provide effective tools to assess pathogen inactivation efficacy. Then, the efficacy of PAA-based disinfection processes for pathogen inactivation is summarized, and the inactivation mechanisms involved in disinfection and the interactions of PAA with conventional disinfection processes are elaborated. Subsequently, the risk of pathogen regrowth after PAA-based disinfection process is clearly discussed. Finally, to address ecological risks related to PAA-based disinfection, its impact on the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is also assessed. Among advanced PAA-based disinfection processes, ultraviolet/PAA is promising not only because it has practical application value but also because pathogen regrowth can be inhibited and ARGs transfer risk can be significantly reduced via this process. This review presents valuable and comprehensive information to provide an in-depth understanding of PAA as an alternative wastewater disinfection technology.

Abstract
Peroxyacetic acid (PAA) is commonly used during poultry processing to reduce the prevalence of Salmonella on carcasses and parts. Wash solutions containing PAA are used at varying concentrations during processing and processors use internally validated practices that best suit the needs of the individual establishment. This study was conducted to determine how temperature, pH, and contact time in combination with PAA concentration can affect the survival of Salmonella on poultry. The effectiveness of PAA in reducing the population of Salmonella on chicken wings was dependent on the concentration and temperature of the PAA solutions. The pH or contact time had no effects (P > 0.05) on total Salmonella or Salmonella Infantis reduction (log CFU/mL). Treatment with 0 ppm PAA at 27°C did not reduce (P > 0.05) total Salmonella or Salmonella Infantis compared to the inoculated, untreated control; in contrast, treatment at 4°C and 0 ppm PAA reduced (P < 0.05) total Salmonella and Salmonella Infantis. Treatments applied at 4°C significantly reduced (P < 0.05) total Salmonella at 50, 200, and 500 ppm PAA, compared to treatment at 27°C among the same PAA concentration. The population of Salmonella Infantis was significantly reduced (P < 0.05) at 4°C with 0, 50, 200, 500, and 1,000 ppm PAA among the same PAA concentration, compared to treatment at 27°C. Treatment conditions, such as temperature, can impact the effectiveness of PAA used as an antimicrobial treatment during poultry processing, and the results from this study can provide useful insights that could assist poultry processors to effectively incorporate PAA into antimicrobial intervention systems.

Abstract
A novel 3D bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF(Fe-Co)) was successfully prepared and its performance on sulfamethoxazole (SMX) removal in advanced oxidation process (AOP) based on peracetic acid (PAA) was evaluated. MOF(Fe-Co) exhibited an efficient catalytic performance on PAA activation for SMX degradation under neutral condition. Increasing PAA concentration could enhance SMX removal, while the variation of MOF(Fe-Co) dosage from 0.05 to 0.2 g/L had an inappreciable effect on SMX removal. According to the results of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analyses and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, catalytic reactions mainly occurred on the surface of MOF(Fe-Co). Organic radicals (i.e., CH3C(O)OO• and CH3C(O)O•) were demonstrated to be the predominant reactive radicals for SMX degradation by MOF(Fe-Co)/PAA through radical quenching experiments. The presence of Cl- could enhance the degradation of SMX by MOF(Fe-Co)/PAA, while HCO3- and natural organic matter inhibited SMX degradation severely. Five identified degradation products were detected in this system and four possible SMX transformation pathways were proposed, including amino oxidation, S-N bond cleavage, coupling reaction and hydroxylation.

Abstract
Post-weaning diarrhea affects piglets in the nursery phase of production, leading to a substantial impact both at the farm and financial levels. The multifactorial etiology of this disease includes housing conditions, pig genetics, microbial composition, and metagenomic assets. Among the common therapeutic approaches, the widely used zinc oxide underwent a European Union ban in 2022 due to its negative environmental impact and correlation to increased antimicrobial resistance. During this study, we have tested two levels of inclusion of the potential antimicrobial alternative peracetic acid, delivered in water via the hydrolysis of the precursors sodium percarbonate and tetraacetylethylenediamine, in comparison to zinc oxide and an untreated control during a 2-week animal study. We assessed the microbial composition and predicted the metagenome, together with performance and physiological parameters, in order to describe the microbial functional role in etiopathology. Both zinc oxide and peracetic acid resulted in amelioration of the diarrheal status by the end of the trial period, with noticeable zinc oxide effects visible from the first week. This was accompanied by improved performance when compared to the first-week figures and a decreased stomach pH in both peracetic acid levels. A significant reduction in both stomach and caecal Proteobacteria was recorded in the zinc oxide group, and a significant reduction of Campylobacter in the stomach was reported for both zinc oxide and one of the peracetic acid concentrations. Among other functional differences, we found that the predicted ortholog for the zonula occludens toxin, a virulence factor present in pathogens like Escherichia coli and Campylobacter jejuni, was less abundant in the stomach of treated pigs compared to the control group. In water, peracetic acid delivered via precursor hydrolysis has the potential to be a valid intervention, an alternative to antimicrobial, to assist the weaning of piglets. Our findings support the view that post-weaning diarrhea is a complex multifactorial disease with an important metagenomic component characterized by the differential abundance of specific predicted orthologs and microbial genera in the stomach and caecum of pigs.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on peracetic acid (PAA) has been extensively concerned for the degradation of organic pollutants. In this study, metallic iron-modified sludge biochar (Fe-SBC) was employed to activate PAA for the removal of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The characterization results indicated that FeO and Fe2O3 were successfully loaded on the surface of the sludge biochar (SBC). Fe-SBC/PAA system achieved 92% SMX removal after 30 min. The pseudo-first-order kinetic reaction constant of the Fe-SBC/PAA system was 7.34 × 10-2 min-1, which was 2.4 times higher than the SBC/PAA system. The degradation of SMX was enhanced with increasing the Fe-SBC dosage and PAA concentration. Apart from Cl-, NO3- and SO42- had a negligible influence on the degradation of SMX. Quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques identified the existence of reactive species, of which CH3C(O)OO•, 1O2, and O2•- were dominant reactive species in Fe-SBC/PAA system. The effect of different water matrices on the removal of SMX was investigated. The removal of SMX in tap water and lake water were 79% and 69%, respectively. Four possible pathways for the decay of SMX were presented according to the identification of oxidation products. In addition, following the ecological structure-activity relationship model (ECOSAR) procedure and the germination experiments with lettuce seeds to predict the toxicity of the intermediates. The acute and chronic ecotoxicity of SMX solution was dramatically diminished by processing with Fe-SBC/PAA system. In general, this study offered a prospective strategy for the degradation of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Metal-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) with peracetic acid (PAA) have been extensively studied to degrade micropollutants (MPs) in wastewater. Mn(II) is a commonly used homogeneous metal catalyst for oxidant activation, but it performs poorly with PAA. This study identifies that the biodegradable chelating ligand picolinic acid (PICA) can significantly mediate Mn(II) activation of PAA for accelerated MP degradation. Results show that, while Mn(II) alone has minimal reactivity toward PAA, the presence of PICA accelerates PAA loss by Mn(II). The PAA-Mn(II)-PICA system removes various MPs (methylene blue, bisphenol A, naproxen, sulfamethoxazole, carbamazepine, and trimethoprim) rapidly at neutral pH, achieving >60% removal within 10 min in clean and wastewater matrices. Coexistent H2O2 and acetic acid in PAA play a negligible role in rapid MP degradation. In-depth evaluation with scavengers and probe compounds (tert-butyl alcohol, methanol, methyl phenyl sulfoxide, and methyl phenyl sulfone) suggested that high-valent Mn species (Mn(V)) is a likely main reactive species leading to rapid MP degradation, whereas soluble Mn(III)-PICA and radicals (CH3C(O)O• and CH3C(O)OO•) are minor reactive species. This study broadens the mechanistic understanding of metal-based AOPs using PAA in combination with chelating agents and indicates the PAA-Mn(II)-PICA system as a novel AOP for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Increased disinfection of wastewater to preserve its microbiological quality during the coronavirus infectious disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have inevitably led to increased production of toxic disinfection by-products (DBPs). However, there is limited information on such DBPs (i.e., trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, nitrosamines, and haloacetonitriles). This review focused on the upsurge of chlorine-based disinfectants (such as chlorine, chloramine and chlorine dioxide) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the global response to COVID-19. The formation and distribution of DBPs in wastewater were then analyzed to understand the impacts of these large-scale usage of disinfectants in WWTPs. In addition, potential ecological risks associated with DBPs derived from wastewater disinfection and its receiving water bodies were summarized. Finally, various approaches for mitigating DBP levels in wastewater and suggestions for further research into the environmental risks of increased wastewater disinfection were provided. Overall, this study presented a comprehensive overview of the formation, distribution, potential ecological risks, and mitigating approaches of DBPs derived from wastewater disinfection that will facilitate appropriate wastewater disinfection techniques selection, potential ecological risk assessment, and removal approaches and regulations consideration.

Abstract
The food industry has recognized a pressing need for highly effective disinfection protocols to decrease the risk of pathogen emergence and proliferation in food products. The integration of antimicrobial treatments in food production has occurred as a potential strategy to attain food items of superior quality with respect to microbiological safety and sensory attributes. This study aims to investigate the individual and synergistic effects of heat and peroxyacetic acid on the inactivation of bacterial cells, considering various contact times and environmental conditions. Four Salmonella serotypes, isolated from industrial meat production surfaces, were employed as model organisms. By systematically assessing the impacts of individual factors and synergistic outcomes, the effectiveness of bacterial cell inactivation and the efficiency of heat and peroxyacetic acid could be predicted. To better approximate real-world food processing conditions, this study also incorporated a bovine albumin-rich condition as a simulation of the presence of organic loads in processing steps. The findings revealed the essential need for a synergistic interplay of investigated parameters with the following optimized values: 1.5% concentration of peroxyacetic acid, temperature range of 60-65 °C, and contact time of 3 min for the complete effect regardless of the degree of contamination.

WATER RESEARCH 2023; 246:120695. [PMID: 37812978 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.120695] [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: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/11/2023]
Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) is regarded as an environmentally friendly oxidant because of its low formation of toxic byproducts. However, this study revealed the potential risk of generating disinfection byproducts (DBPs) when treating iodine-containing wastewater with PAA. The transformation efficiency of bisphenol A (BPA), a commonly detected phenolic contaminant and a surrogate for phenolic moieties in dissolved organic matter, by PAA increased rapidly in the presence of I-, which was primarily attributed to the formation of active iodine (HOI/I2) in the system. Kinetic model simulations demonstrated that the second-order rate constant between PAA and HOI was 54.0 M-1 s-1 at pH 7.0, which was lower than the generation rate of HOI via the reaction between PAA and I-. Therefore, HOI can combine with BPA to produce iodine disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs). The transformation of BPA and the generation of I-DBPs in the I-/PAA system were highly pH-dependent. Specifically, acidic conditions were more favorable for BPA degradation because of the higher reaction rates of BPA and HOI. More iodinated aromatic products were detected after 5 min of the reaction under acidic and neutral conditions, resulting in higher toxicity towards E. coli. After 12 h of the reaction, more adsorbable organic iodine (AOI) was generated at alkaline conditions because HOI was not able to efficiency transform to IO3-. The presence of H2O2 in the PAA solution played a role in the reaction with HOI, particularly under alkaline conditions. This study significantly advances the understanding of the role of I- in BPA oxidation by PAA and provides a warning to further evaluate the potential environmental risk during the treatment of iodine-bearing wastewater with PAA.

Food grade disinfectants based on hydrogen peroxide/peracetic acid and sodium hypochlorite interfere with the adhesion of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes to stainless steel of differing surface roughness. BIOFOULING 2023; 39:990-1003.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the potential of the bacterium Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes to adhere to stainless steel discs with differing degrees of surface roughness (Ra = 25.20-961.90 nm). Stainless steel is a material commonly used in the food industry for processing equipment, which is regularly exposed to cleaning procedures. The investigation included the commercial disinfectants hydrogen peroxide/peracetic acid and sodium hypochlorite which were evaluated for their antibacterial and anti-adhesion activity. The adhesion was assessed by the standard plate count method, while the broth microdilution method CLSI M07-A10 was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the disinfectants. Based on the MIC values, both disinfectants exerted significant inhibitory effects with MIC values for hydrogen peroxide/peracetic acid and sodium hypochlorite of 250 µg ml-1 and 500 µg ml-1, respectively. Whereas the MBC values were equal to the MIC for all bacteria except for E. coli with values 2-fold higher than the MIC. Obtained results also revealed that all tested bacteria were able to adhere to stainless steel surfaces, although differences were found for strains and surface roughness. The lowest adhesion rate of each strain was recorded on the roughest stainless steel disc at a Ra of 961.90 nm. Further, at a concentration of 1 MIC, the disinfectant sodium hypochlorite reduced initial bacterial adhesion to stainless steel surfaces to a significantly greater extent than the disinfectant hydrogen peroxide/peracetic acid. These findings are consistent with the results obtained by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis, which indicates the great applicability of the tested disinfectants for the control of bacterial adhesion in the food industry.

Abstract
Hospital-acquired infections are a rising problem with consequences for patients, hospitals, and health care workers. Biocides can be employed to prevent these infections, contributing to eliminate or reduce microorganisms' concentrations at the hospital environment. These antimicrobials belong to several groups, each with distinct characteristics that need to be taken into account in their selection for specific applications. Moreover, their activity is influenced by many factors, such as compound concentration and the presence of organic matter. This article aims to review some of the chemical biocides available for hospital infection control, as well as the main factors that influence their efficacy and promote susceptibility decreases, with the purpose to contribute for reducing misusage and consequently for preventing the development of resistance to these antimicrobials.

Abstract
A Cu(II)/heat coactivated peracetic acid (PAA) system for enhancing diclofenac (DCF) degradation was proposed in this work. The superiority of this synergetic activation strategy for PAA, working reactive species, catalytic mechanism and effects of reaction parameters on DCF elimination in this system were simultaneously investigated. Based on our results, the DCF loss rate in Cu(II)-heat/PAA process at pH 8.0 was about 49.3 and 4.2 times of that in Cu(II)/PAA and heat/PAA processes, respectively. Increasing the reaction temperature to 60 оC not only motivated the conversion of Cu(II) to Cu(I) but also facilitated the one-electron transfer between Cu(I) and PAA, boosting the generation of radicals. Organic radicals (mainly CH3C(O)O• and CH3C(O)OO•) were evidenced to be the core oxidizing substances dominating in the destruction of DCF while hydroxyl radical (•OH) made a minor contribution in this system by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method together with scavenging experiments. This study broads the eyes into enhanced PAA activation initiated by homogenous Cu(II), providing a simple but efficient tool to degrade micropollutants.

Abstract
While SARS-CoV-2 is generally under control, the question of variants and infections still persists. Fundamental information on how the virus interacts with inanimate surfaces commonly found in our daily life and when in contact with the skin will be helpful in developing strategies to inhibit the spread of the virus. Here in, a critically important review of current understanding of the interaction between virus and surface is summarized from chemistry point-of-view. The Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek and extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek theories to model virus attachments on surfaces are introduced, along with the interaction type and strength, and quantification of each component. The virus survival and transfer are affected by a combination of biological, physical, and chemical parameters, as well as environmental parameters. The surface properties for virus and virus survival on typical surfaces such as metals, plastics, and glass are summarized. Attention is also paid to the transfer of virus to/from surfaces and skin. Typical virus disinfection strategies utilizing heat, light, chemicals, and ozone are discussed together with their disinfection mechanism. In the last section, design principles for virus repelling surface chemistry such as surperhydrophobic or surperhydrophilic surfaces are also introduced, to demonstrate how the integration of surface property control and advanced material fabrication can lead to the development of functional surfaces for mitigating the effect of viral infection upon contact.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has a significant impact on human, animal, and environmental health, being spread in diverse settings. Antibiotic misuse and overuse in the food chain are widely recognized as primary drivers of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. However, other antimicrobials, such as metals and organic acids, commonly present in agri-food environments (e.g., in feed, biocides, or as long-term pollutants), may also contribute to this global public health problem, although this remains a debatable topic owing to limited data. This review aims to provide insights into the current role of metals (i.e., copper, arsenic, and mercury) and organic acids in the emergence and spread of AMR in the food chain. Based on a thorough literature review, this study adopts a unique integrative approach, analyzing in detail the known antimicrobial mechanisms of metals and organic acids, as well as the molecular adaptive tolerance strategies developed by diverse bacteria to overcome their action. Additionally, the interplay between the tolerance to metals or organic acids and AMR is explored, with particular focus on co-selection events. Through a comprehensive analysis, this review highlights potential silent drivers of AMR within the food chain and the need for further research at molecular and epidemiological levels across different food contexts worldwide.

Abstract
Acid stress poses a common challenge for bacteria in diverse environments by the presence of inorganic (e.g., mammals' stomach) or organic acids (e.g., feed additives; acid-based disinfectants). Limited knowledge exists regarding acid-tolerant strains of specific serotypes, clonal lineages, or sources in human/animal pathogens: namely, non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica (NTS) and Enterococcus faecium (Efm). This study evaluated the acidic pH (Mueller-Hinton acidified with HCl) and peracetic acid (PAA) susceptibility of Efm (n = 72) and NTS (n = 60) from diverse epidemiological/genetic backgrounds and with multiple antibiotic resistance profiles. Efm minimum growth/survival pH was 4.5-5.0/3.0-4.0, and for NTS it was 4.0-4.5/3.5-4.0. Efm distribution among acidic pH values showed that only isolates of clade-non-A1 (non-hospital associated) or the food chain were more tolerant to acidic pH compared to clade-A1 (hospital-associated clones) or clinical isolates (p < 0.05). In the case of NTS, multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates survived better in acidic pH (p < 0.05). The PAA MIC/MBC for Efm was 70-120/80-150 mg/L, and for NTS, it was 50-70/60-100 mg/L. The distribution of Efm among PAA concentrations showed that clade-A1 or MDR strains exhibited higher tolerance than clade-non-A1 or non-MDR ones (p < 0.05). NTS distribution also showed higher tolerance to PAA among non-MDR and clinical isolates than food chain ones (p < 0.05) but there were no differences among different serogroups. This unique study identifies specific NTS or Efm populations more tolerant to acidic pH or PAA, emphasizing the need for further research to tailor controlled measures of public health and food safety within a One Health framework.

Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) may be used in drinking water treatment for pre-oxidation and mussel control at the intake. PAA may exert a downstream chlorine demand, but full details of this reaction have not been reported. There are three possible mechanisms of this demand: (1) PAA may react directly with chlorine; (2) PAA exists in equilibrium with hydrogen peroxide, which is known to react with chlorine; and (3) as H2O2 reacts with chlorine, PAA will hydrolyze to form more H2O2 to re-establish PAA/H2O2 equilibrium, thereby serving as an indirect reservoir of chlorine demand. While the H2O2 reaction with chlorine is well known, the other mechanisms of possible PAA-induced chlorine demand have not previously been investigated. The observed molar stoichiometric ratio of PAA to free chlorine (n) for the presumed direct PAA + free chlorine reaction was determined to be approximately 2, and the corresponding observed reaction rate coefficients at pH 6, 7, 8, and 9 were 2.76, 3.14, 1.61, 10.1 M-n·s-1, respectively (at 25 °C). With these estimated values, a kinetic model was built to predict the chlorine demand by PAA. The results suggest that chlorine demand from PAA is likely to be negligible over the course of several days (e.g., < 20% chlorine loss) for most conditions except for high pH (e.g., >8) and high PAA:Cl2 molar ratios (e.g., >2:1).

Abstract
In this study, a novel water treatment process combining permanganate (Mn(VII)) and peracetic acid (PAA, CH3C(O)OOH) was employed to degrade sulfamethazine (SMT), a typical model contaminant. Simultaneous application of Mn(VII) and a small amount of PAA resulted in much faster oxidation of organics than a single oxidant. Interestingly, coexistent acetic acid played a crucial role in SMT degradation, while background hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) had a negligible effect. However, compared with acetic acid, PAA could better improve the oxidation performance of Mn(VII) and accelerate the removal of SMT more significantly. The mechanism of SMT degradation by Mn(VII)-PAA process was systematically evaluated. Firstly, based on the quenching experiments, electron spin resonance (EPR) results and UV-visible spectrum, singlet oxygen (1O2), Mn(III)aq and MnO2 colloids were the predominant active substances, while organic radicals (R-O•) showed negligible contribution. Then, the decay of Mn(VII) in the presence of PAA and H2O2 was investigated. It was found that the coexisting H2O2 accounted for almost all the decay of Mn(VII), PAA and acetic acid both had low reactivity toward Mn(VII). During the degradation process, acetic acid was able to acidify Mn(VII) and simultaneously acted as a ligand to form reactive complexes, while PAA mainly played a role of spontaneously decomposing to produce 1O2, they jointly promoted the mineralization of SMT. Finally, the degradation intermediates of SMT and their toxicities were analyzed. This paper reported the Mn(VII)-PAA water treatment process for the first time, which provided a promising approach for rapid decontamination of refractory organics-polluted water.

Abstract
Removing ammonia (NH4+-N) and recalcitrant organics from low carbon/nitrogen wastewater requires a large amount of chemical reagents and energy. This work reports a new advanced oxidation process to remove recalcitrant organics with the assistant of NH4+-N in low carbon/nitrogen wastewater. Specifically, NH4+-N in wastewater mediated Fe(II)/Fe(III) cycle for the activation of oxidation reagent (e.g., H2O2) (ammonia-mediated AOP) to improve the removal of recalcitrant organics. In ammonia-mediated AOP, NH4+-N, recalcitrant organics, and PO4-P in wastewater were removed by 88.2%, 80.5% and 84%, respectively, with a low H2O2 consuming of only 5 mg/L. The removal efficiency of recalcitrant organics in the ammonia-mediated AOP increased as the concentration of NH4+-N in wastewater increased. Recalcitrant organics can be removed with an efficiency of 74∼82%, when the influent pH was 6∼6.8. This work provides a new and cost-effective approach to drive the iron cycle in Fenton treatment using NH4+-N from wastewater as mediator.

Abstract
No Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) chemical treatments for preharvest agricultural water are currently labeled to reduce human health pathogens. The goal of this study was to examine the efficacy of peracetic acid- (PAA) and chlorine (Cl)-based sanitizers against Salmonella in Virginia irrigation water. Water samples (100 mL) were collected at three time points during the growing season (May, July, September) and inoculated with either the 7-strain EPA/FDA-prescribed cocktail or a 5-strain Salmonella produce-borne outbreak cocktail. Experiments were conducted in triplicate for 288 unique combinations of time point, residual sanitizer concentration (low: PAA, 6 ppm; Cl, 2-4 ppm or high: PAA, 10 ppm; Cl, 10-12 ppm), water type (pond, river), water temperature (12°C, 32°C), and contact time (1, 5, 10 min). Salmonella were enumerated after each treatment combination and reductions were calculated. A log-linear model was used to characterize how treatment combinations influenced Salmonella reductions. Salmonella reductions by PAA and Cl ranged from 0.0 ± 0.1 to 5.6 ± 1.3 log10 CFU/100 mL and 2.1 ± 0.2 to 7.1 ± 0.2 log10 CFU/100 mL, respectively. Physicochemical parameters significantly varied by untreated water type; however, Salmonella reductions did not (p = 0.14), likely due to adjusting the sanitizer amounts needed to achieve the target residual concentrations regardless of source water quality. Significant differences (p < 0.05) in Salmonella reductions were observed for treatment combinations, with sanitizer (Cl > PAA) and contact time (10 > 5 > 1 min) having the greatest effects. The log-linear model also revealed that outbreak strains were more treatment-resistant. Results demonstrate that certain treatment combinations with PAA- and Cl-based sanitizers were effective at reducing Salmonella populations in preharvest agricultural water. Awareness and monitoring of water quality parameters are essential for ensuring adequate dosing for the effective treatment of preharvest agricultural water.

Abstract
Disposal of respiratory secretions from patients having contagious diseases (e.g., COVID-19 and tuberculosis) poses a high risk of infection for healthcare workers. AcryloSorb canister liner bags are highly efficient for the safe handling of contagious respiratory secretions via solidification and disinfection processes. The canister liner bags are lined with disinfectant-impregnated superabsorbent polymer (DSAP) granules. The liner structure in the bag has a patented design that has upward progressive absorbent availability (Indian Patent application # 202041019872). AcryloSorb canister liner bags can decontaminate the fluid secretions absorbed in the bag and solidify within 10 min. The present study focused on the bactericidal effect of DSAP using Gram-negative bacteria, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Gram-positive bacteria, methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Disinfectants such as peracetic acid (ethaneperoxic acid), sodium dichloroisocyanurate (sodium 3,5-dichloro-2,4,6-trioxo-1,3,5-triazinan-1-ide), rose bengal (disodium; 2,3,4,5-tetrachloro-6-(2,4,5,7-tetraiodo-3-oxido-6-oxoxanthen-9-yl) benzoate), and N,N-dimethyl-N-[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]octadecan-1-aminium chloride at different weight ratios were impregnated in superabsorbent polymer (SAP) granules. The bactericidal activities of DSAP were studied along with its solidification capacity. Disinfectants showed different bactericidal activities when impregnated with SAP granules. For example, peracetic acid-impregnated SAP granules (DSAP-P) showed 100% bactericidal activity for both Klebsiella pneumoniae and MRSA at 0.5 wt % peracetic acid. Sodium dichloroisocyanurate-impregnated SAP granules showed 100% bactericidal activity only at 5 wt % sodium dichloroisocyanurate (DSAP-S5). Even though peracetic acid was highly effective, SAP granules collapsed when impregnated with peracetic acid. The ease of handling, disinfection efficacy, and preserving the morphology of SAP granules make DSAP-S5, a suitable candidate for AcryloSorb canister liner bags.

Abstract
Performic acid (PFA) has been increasingly used in wastewater disinfection due to its strong oxidizing ability and few disinfection byproducts. However, its disinfection pathways and mechanisms towards pathogenic bacteria disinfection are poorly understood. In this study, E. coli, S. aureus, and B. subtilis were inactivated using sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), PFA, and peracetic acid (PAA) in simulated turbid water and municipal secondary effluent. Cell culture-based plate counting showed that E. coli and S. aureus were extremely susceptible to NaClO and PFA and achieved a 4-log inactivation at CTs ≤ 1 mg/L·min with an initial disinfectant concentration of 0.3 mg/L. B. subtilis was much more resistant. At the initial disinfectant dose of 7.5 mg/L, PFA required CTs of 3-13 mg/L·min to achieve a 4-log inactivation. Turbidity negatively affected the disinfection. In the secondary effluent, the CTs required for PFA to achieve a 4-log inactivation of E. coli and B. subtilis were 6-12 times higher than those required in simulated turbid water, and a 4-log inactivation of S. aureus could not be achieved. PAA showed a much weaker disinfection ability than the other two disinfectants. The reaction pathways of E. coli inactivation by PFA included both direct and indirect reactions, in which the PFA molecule accounted for 73 %, and ·OH and peroxide radicals accounted for 20 % and 6 %, respectively. During PFA disinfection, E. coli cells were severely disintegrated, while the S. aureus cell exteriors remained mostly intact. B. subtilis was the least affected. Compared with cell culture-based analysis, the inactivation detected by flow cytometry was significantly lower. Viable but non-culturable bacteria after disinfection were believed to be primarily responsible for this inconsistency. This study suggested that PFA was able to control regular bacteria in wastewater, but it should be used with caution when treating recalcitrant pathogens.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in coastal areas similarly impact both ecosystems and human health. The translocation of phytoplankton species via maritime transport can potentially promote the growth of HABs in coastal systems. Accordingly, ballast water must be disinfected. The main goal of this study is to assess the effectiveness of different emerging biocides, including H2O2, peracetic acid (PAA), peroxymonosulfate (PMS), and peroxydisulfate (PDS). The effectiveness of these biocides is compared with that of conventional chlorination methods. Their effects on two ichthyotoxic microalgae with worldwide distribution, i.e., Prymnesium parvum and Heterosigma akashiwo, are examined. To ensure the prolonged effectiveness of the different reagents, their concentration-response curves for 14 days are constructed and examined. The results suggest a strong but shorter effect by PMS (EC50 = 0.40-1.99 mg·L-1) and PAA (EC50 = 0.32-2.70 mg·L-1), a maintained effect by H2O2 (EC50 = 6.67-7.08 mg·L-1), and a negligible effect by PDS. H. akashiwo indicates higher resistance than P. parvum, except when H2O2 is used. Based on the growth inhibition performance and consumption of the reagents as well as a review of important aspects regarding their application, using H2O2, PAA, or PMS can be a feasible alternative to chlorine-based reagents for inhibiting the growth of harmful phytoplankton.

Encapsulated peracetic acid as a valid broad-spectrum antimicrobial alternative, leading to beneficial microbiota compositional changes and enhanced performance in broiler chickens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial alternatives are urgently needed, including for poultry production systems. In this study, we tested the potential broad-range antimicrobial alternative peracetic acid, delivered in feed via the hydrolysis of encapsulated precursors through a 28-day study using 375 Ross 308 broiler chickens. We tested two peracetic acid concentrations, 30 and 80 mg/kg on birds housed on re-used litter, and we evaluated the impact of both levels on gut microbial communities, bacterial concentration, antimicrobial resistance genes relative abundance and growth performance when compared to control birds housed on either clean or re-used litter. RESULTS Body weight gain and feed conversion ratio improved in peracetic acid fed birds. At d 28, birds given 30 mg/kg of peracetic acid had a decreased Firmicutes and an increased Proteobacteria abundance in the jejunum, accompanied by an increase in Bacillus, Flavonifractor and Rombustia in the caeca, and a decreased abundance of tetracycline resistance genes. Chicken given 80 mg/kg of peracetic acid had greater caecal abundance of macrolides lincosamides and streptogramins resistance genes. Growth performance on clean litter was reduced compared to re-used litter, which concurred with increased caecal abundance of Blautia, decreased caecal abundance of Escherichia/Shigella, Anaerostipes and Jeotgalicoccus, and greater gene abundance of vancomycin, tetracycline, and macrolides resistance genes. CONCLUSIONS Peracetic acid could be used as a safe broad-spectrum antimicrobial alternative in broilers. Encapsulated precursors were able to reduce the bacterial concentration in the jejunum whilst promoting the proliferation of probiotic genera in the caeca, especially at the low peracetic acid concentrations tested, and improve growth performance. Moreover, our findings offer further insights on potential benefits of rearing birds on re-used litter, suggesting that the latter could be associated with better performance and reduced antimicrobial resistance risk compared to clean litter rearing.

Abstract
Disinfection is essential to swimming pool water (SPW) quality. Peracetic acid (PAA) has attracted attention for water disinfection for advantages such as less formation of regulated DBPs. Persistence kinetics of disinfectants is difficult to elucidate in pools because of the complex water matrix stemming from body fluid loadings from swimmers and long residence times. In this research, the persistence kinetics of PAA was investigated in SPW benchmarked against free chlorine, use bench-scale experiments and model simulation. Kinetics models were developed to simulate the persistence of PAA and chlorine. The stability of PAA was less sensitive to swimmer loadings than chlorine. An average swimmer loading event reduced the apparent decay rate constant of PAA by 66 %, a phenomenon that diminished with increasing temperatures. L-histidine and citric acid from swimmers were identified as main retardation contributors. By contrast, a swimmer loading event instantaneously consumed 70-75 % of the residual free chlorine. The required total dose of PAA was 97 % less than chlorine under the 3-days cumulative disinfection mode. Temperature was positively correlated with disinfectant decay rate, with PAA being more sensitive than chlorine. These results shed light on the persistence kinetics of PAA and its influential factors in swimming pool settings.

Abstract
Under the influence of different types of disinfectants and disinfection environments, the removal level of pathogens and the formation potential of disinfection by-products (DBPs) will have a dual impact on the groundwater environment. The key points for sustainable groundwater safety management are how to balance the positive and negative relationship and formulate a scientific disinfection model in combination with risk assessment. In this study, the effects of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and peracetic acid (PAA) concentrations on pathogenic E. coli and DBPs were investigated using static-batch and dynamic-column experiments, as well as the optimal disinfection model for groundwater risk assessment was explored using quantitative microbial risk assessment and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) models. Compared to static disinfection, deposition and adsorption were the dominant factors causing E. coli migration at lower NaClO levels of 0-0.25 mg/L under dynamic state, while disinfection was its migration factor at higher NaClO levels of 0.5-6.5 mg/L. In contrast, E. coli removed by PAA was the result of the combined action of deposition, adsorption, and disinfection. The disinfection effects of NaClO and PAA on E. coli differed under dynamic and static conditions. At the same NaClO level, the health risk associated with E. coli in groundwater was higher, whereas, under the same PAA conditions, the health risk was lower. Under dynamic conditions, the optimal disinfectant dosage required for NaClO and PAA to reach the same acceptable risk level was 2 and 0.85 times (irrigation) or 0.92 times (drinking) of static disinfection, respectively. The results may help prevent the misuse of disinfectants and provide theoretical support for managing twin health risks posed by pathogens and DBPs in water treatment.

Abstract
Water scarcity affects already a large part of the world's population. To overcome this situation, water management is needed, and wastewater reuse must be implemented and included as a new approach. To achieve that objective water quality must comply with the parameters established in the Regulation (EU) 2020/741 of the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union and new treatment solutions have to be developed. The main goal of this pilot study was to evaluate the peracetic acid (PAA) disinfection efficiency in a real wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in order to accomplish the wastewater reuse objective. To this end, six disinfection conditions were studied, three PAA doses (5, 10, and 15) and three contact times (5, 10, and 15) based on the commonly used disinfection operational conditions in real WWTP. Comparing the Total Suspended Solids (TSS), turbidity, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD5) and Escherichia coli content, after and before the disinfection step, was possible to conclude that PAA ensures the Regulation (EU) 2020/741 requirements and that the disinfected effluent can be reused for several uses. All the conditions in which the PAA dose was 15 mg/L and the condition with 10 mg/L of PAA with a contact time of 15 min were the most promising, presenting the second highest water quality class achieved. The results of this study illustrate the potential of PAA as an alternative disinfectant for wastewater treatment and, bring it closer to the water reuse objective by presenting several possibilities for water uses.

[PMID: 37262947 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.120091] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
The widespread occurrence of p-arsanilic acid (p-ASA) in natural environments poses big threats to the biosphere due to the generation of toxic inorganic arsenic (i.e., As(III) and As(V), especially As(III) with higher toxicity and mobility). Oxidation of p-ASA or As(III) to As(V) followed by precipitation of total arsenic using Fe-based advanced oxidation processes demonstrated to be a promising approach for the treatment of arsenic contamination. This study for the first time investigated the efficiency and inherent mechanism of p-ASA and As(III) oxidation by Fe(II)/peracetic acid (Fe(II)/PAA) and PAA processes. p-ASA was rapidly degraded by the Fe(II)/PAA process within 20 s at neutral to acidic pHs under different conditions, while it was insignificantly degraded by PAA oxidation alone. Lines of evidence suggested that hydroxyl radicals and organic radicals generated from the homolytic OO bond cleavage of PAA contributed to the degradation of p-ASA in the Fe(II)/PAA process. p-ASA was mainly oxidized to As (V), NH4+, and p-aminophenol by the Fe(II)/PAA process, wherein the aniline group and its para position were the most vulnerable sites. As(III) of concern was likely generated as an intermediate during p-ASA oxidation and it could be readily oxidized to As(V) by the Fe(II)/PAA process as well as PAA alone. The in-depth investigation demonstrated that PAA alone was effective in the oxidation of As(III) under varied conditions with a stoichiometric molar ratio of 1:1. Efficient removal (> 80%) of total arsenic during p-ASA oxidation by Fe(II)/PAA process or during As(III) oxidation by PAA process with additional Fe(III) in synthetic or real waters were observed, mainly due to the adsorptive interactions of amorphous ferric (oxy)hydroxide precipitates. This study systematically investigates the oxidation of p-ASA and As(III) by the Fe(II)/PAA and PAA processes, which is instructive for the future development of arsenic remediation technology.

Co-Mn spinel oxides trigger peracetic acid activation for ultrafast degradation of sulfonamide antibiotics: Unveiling critical role of Mn species in boosting Co activity.

Abstract
Activation of peracetic acid (PAA) to generate powerful oxidizing species has become a promising advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in wastewater treatment, yet the development of low-cost and high-performance activators is still a primary challenge. Herein, a range of Co-Mn spinel oxides (Co3-xMnxO4) with varying levels of Co and Mn were successfully elaborated, in which Co1.1Mn1.9O4 exhibited remarkable performance in PAA activation, outperforming most reported heterogeneous catalysts. Extensive quenching experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis indicated that acetylperoxyl radical (CH3C(O)OO●) was the predominated oxidizing species responsible for sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that doping with Mn not only promoted the electron transfer and accelerated reduction of Co(III) to Co(II), but also lowered the energy barrier for PAA activation. Moreover, the prominent chemisorption and activation of PAA with Co1.1Mn1.9O4 was also benefitted from the significant role of Mn in optimizing the distribution of bonding and antibonding states on Co 3d orbitals. Unexpectedly, high levels of Cl-greatly facilitated SMX degradation due to the mass production of HOCl from the chain reactions of various radicals with Cl-. This work provides new insights into bimetallic activation of PAA, and the knowledge obtained will further advance the application of PAA-based AOPs.

Abstract
In this study, a graphene shell-encapsulated copper-based nanoparticles (G@Cu-NPs) was prepared and employed for peracetic acid (PAA) activation. The characterization of G@Cu-NPs confirmed that the as-prepared material was composed of Cu0 and Cu2O inside and encapsulated by a graphene shell. Experimental results suggested that the synthesized G@Cu-NPs could activate PAA to generate free radicals for efficiently removing sulfamethazine (SMT) under neutral condition. The formation of graphene shells could strongly facilitated electron transfer from the core to the surface. Radical quenching experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis confirmed that organic radicals (R-O•) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) were generated in the G@Cu-NPs/PAA system, and R-O• (including CH3CO3• and CH3CO2•) was the main contributor to the elimination of SMT. The possible SMT degradation pathways and mechanisms were proposed, and the toxicity of SMT and its intermediates was predicted with the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis. Besides, the effects of some key parameters, common anions, and humic acid (HA) on the removal of SMT in the G@Cu-NPs/PAA system were also investigated. Finally, the applicability of G@Cu-NPs/PAA system was explored, showing that the G@Cu-NPs/PAA system possessed satisfactory adaptability to treat different water bodies with admirable reusability and stability.

Abstract
Peracetic acid (PAA) disinfectants are effective against a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Several studies have shown the efficacy of PAA against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2); however, its efficacy in SARS-CoV-2 variants and the molecular mechanism of action of PAA against SARS-CoV-2 have not been investigated. SARS-CoV-2 infection depends on the recognition and binding of the cell receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) via the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein. Here, we demonstrated that PAA effectively suppressed pseudotyped virus infection in the Wuhan type and variants, including Delta and Omicron. Similarly, PAA reduced the authentic viral load of SARS-CoV-2. Computational analysis suggested that the hydroxyl radicals produced by PAA cleave the disulfide bridges in the RBD. Additionally, the PAA treatment decreased the abundance of the Wuhan- and variant-type spike proteins. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed direct inhibition of RBD-ACE2 interactions by PAA. In conclusion, the PAA treatment suppressed SARS-CoV-2 infection, which was dependent on the inhibition of the interaction between the spike RBD and ACE2 by inducing spike protein destabilization. Our findings provide evidence of a potent disinfection strategy against SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
Past antimicrobial misuse has led to the spread of antimicrobial resistance amongst pathogens, reportedly a major public health threat. Attempts to reduce the spread of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria are in place worldwide, among which finding alternatives to antimicrobials have a pivotal role. Such molecules could be used as "green alternatives" to reduce the bacterial load either by targeting specific bacterial groups or more generically, functioning as biocides when delivered in vivo. In this study, the effect of in-water peracetic acid as a broad-spectrum antibiotic alternative for broilers was assessed via hydrolysis of precursors sodium percarbonate and tetraacetylethylenediamine. Six equidistant peracetic acid levels were tested from 0 to 50 ppm using four pens per treatment and 4 birds per pen (i.e., 16 birds per treatment and 96 in total). Peracetic acid was administered daily from d 7 to 14 of age whilst measuring performance parameters and end-point bacterial concentration (qPCR) in crop, jejunum, and ceca, as well as crop 16S sequencing. PAA treatment, especially at 20, 30, and 40 ppm, increased body weight at d 14, and feed intake during PAA exposure compared to control (P < 0.05). PAA decreased bacterial concentration in the crop only (P < 0.05), which was correlated to better performance (P < 0.05). Although no differences in alpha- and beta-diversity were found, it was observed a reduction of Lactobacillus (P < 0.05) and Flectobacillus (P < 0.05) in most treatments compared to control, together with an increased abundance of predicted 4-aminobutanoate degradation (V) pathway. The analysis of the AMR genes did not point towards any systematic differences in gene abundance due to treatment administration. This, together with the rest of our observations could indicate that proximal gut microbiota modulation could result in performance amelioration. Thus, peracetic acid may be a valid antimicrobial alternative that could also positively affect performance.

Abstract
The spatial organization of biofilm bacterial communities can be influenced by several factors, including growth conditions and challenge with antimicrobials. Differential survival of clusters of cells within biofilms has been observed. In this work, we present a variety of methods to identify, quantify and statistically analyse clusters of live cells from images of two Salmonella strains with differential biofilm forming capacity exposed to three oxidizing biocides. With a support vector machine approach, we showed spatial separation between the two strains, and, using statistical testing and high-performance computing (HPC), we determined conditions which possess an inherent cluster structure. Our results indicate that there is a relationship between biocide potency and inherent biofilm formation capacity with the tendency to select for spatial clusters of survivors. There was no relationship between positions of clusters of live or dead cells within stressed biofilms. This work identifies an approach to robustly quantify clusters of physiologically distinct cells within biofilms and suggests work to understand how clusters form and survive is needed. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Control of biofilm growth remains a major challenge and there is considerable uncertainty about how bacteria respond to disinfection within a biofilm and how clustering of cells impacts survival. We have developed a methodological approach to identify and statistically analyse clusters of surviving cells in biofilms after biocide challenge. This approach can be used to understand bacterial behaviour within biofilms under stress and is widely applicable.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of the COVID-19 outbreaks, is transmitted by respiratory droplets and has become a life-threatening viral pandemic worldwide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different chemical (chlorine dioxide [ClO2] and peroxyacetic acid [PAA]) and physical (ultraviolet [UV]-C irradiation) inactivation methods on various food-contact surfaces (stainless steel [SS] and polypropylene [PP]) and foods (lettuce, chicken breast, and salmon) contaminated with human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E). Treatments with the maximum concentration of ClO2 (500 ppm) and PAA (200 ppm) for 5 min achieved >99.9% inactivation on SS and PP. At 200 ppm ClO2 for 1 min on lettuce, chicken breast, and salmon, the HCoV-229E titers were 1.19, 3.54, and 3.97 log10 TCID50/mL, respectively. Exposure (5 min) to 80 ppm PAA achieved 1.68 log10 reduction on lettuce, and 2.03 and 1.43 log10 reductions on chicken breast and salmon, respectively, treated with 1500 ppm PAA. In the carrier tests, HCoV-229E titers on food-contact surfaces were significantly decreased (p < 0.05) with increased doses of UV-C (0–60 mJ/cm2) and not detected at the maximum UV-C dose (Detection limit: 1.0 log10 TCID50/coupon). The UV-C dose of 900 mJ/cm2 proved more effective on chicken breast (>2 log10 reduction) than on lettuce and salmon (>1 log10 reduction). However, there were no quality changes (p > 0.05) in food samples after inactivation treatments except the maximum PAA concentration (5 min) and the UV-C dose (1800 mJ/cm2).
