High Throughput Analysis of Integron Gene Cassettes in Wastewater Environments
(2016)
Integrons are extensively targeted as a proxy for anthropogenic impact in the environment. We developed a novel high-throughput amplicon sequencing pipeline that enables characterization of thousands of integron gene ...
Erythromycin oxidation and ERY-resistant Escherichia coli inactivation in urban wastewater by sulfate radical-based oxidation process under UV-C irradiation
(2015)
This study evaluates the feasibility of UV-C-driven advanced oxidation process induced by sulfate radicals (SO4-) in degrading erythromycin (ERY) in secondary treated wastewater. The results revealed that 10 mg L-1 of ...
Urban wastewater treatment plants as hotspots for the release of antibiotics in the environment: A review
(2013)
Urban wastewater treatment plants (UWTPs) are among the main sources of antibiotics' release into various compartments of the environment worldwide. The aim of the present paper is to critically review the fate and removal ...
On the capacity of ozonation to remove antimicrobial compounds, resistant bacteria and toxicity from urban wastewater effluents
(2017)
•Erythromycin and ethylparaben were rapidly eliminated within 2min at low O3 doses.•5 Transformation products (TPs) were identified retaining the ERY lactone ring.•EtP structural alterations took place at the ethyl ester ...
Solid waste characterization, quantification and management practices in developing countries. A case study: Nablus district - Palestine [electronic resource]
(2010)
Solid waste management (SWM) is one of the most challenging issues faced by developing countries that suffer from serious pollution problems caused by the generation of large waste quantities. This paper presents the case ...
Pharmaceutical residues in environmental waters and wastewater: current state of knowledge and future research
(2011)
Pollution from pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment is now recognized as an environmental concern in many countries. This has led to the creation of an extensive area of research, including among others: their chemical ...
Photocatalytic (UV-A/TiO2) degradation of 17α-ethynylestradiol in environmental matrices: Experimental studies and artificial neural network modeling
(2012)
The efficiency of heterogeneous photocatalysis to degrade 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2), a synthetic estrogen hormone, in environmentally relevant samples was investigated. In most cases, UV-A radiation at a photon flux of ...
