Summary: Triclosan (TCS) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent widely used in pharmaceutical and personal care products. It enters the environment mainly through effluent and biosolids from wastewater treatment plants, and its persistence in the aquatic environment and soil poses potential harm. Research on TCS has focused on its occurrence, toxicity, ecological effects, and removal methods. Recent findings highlight its long half-life, toxicity, joint effects with other pollutants, and the toxicity of its transformation products. Removal methods include adsorption, advanced oxidation technology, and ecological engineering, with constant updates and advancements.

Summary: The enrichment and transport of antibiotics in the environment pose significant challenges to public health worldwide. Traditional sewage treatment plants are unable to completely remove fluoroquinolones (FQs), a widely used class of antibiotics, leading to their accumulation in the environment. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) show promise in addressing antibiotic contamination, and photocatalytic ozone is a cost-effective method for degrading FQs. This review summarizes the influencing factors, mechanisms, benefits, and application restrictions of AOPs, and proposes research directions for controlling FQs pollutants.

Summary: This study used a microwave-activated peracetic acid system to remove sulfamethoxazole in water. The results showed that alkaline condition was more favorable for the degradation of sulfamethoxazole. Various factors, such as microwave power, reaction temperature, initial PAA concentration, and common coexisting substances, were systematically studied to understand their influence on the degradation process. The reaction was found to be dominated by a non-radical process, and four degradation pathways were proposed. The toxicity prediction indicated that sulfamethoxazole was converted into less toxic substances. This study provides important theoretical implications for the development of advanced oxidation processes for organic contaminants removal in water.

Summary: To control the diffusion of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in constructed wetlands, it is important to identify and understand the main factors influencing ARGs removal. This study constructed a framework for literature collection, data extraction, and statistical analysis (LDS) to determine the factors influencing antibiotics and ARGs removal in constructed wetlands. The results revealed that nutrients, types of constructed wetlands, and hydraulic loading were the main factors influencing antibiotic removal, while mobile genetic elements, plants, volume of constructed wetlands, and running time were the main factors influencing ARGs removal. The study also found that after purification by constructed wetlands, the risk coefficient of antibiotics decreased significantly, but the relative abundance of most ARGs did not change significantly. The relationship between antibiotics and ARGs was closer in effluent than in influent according to the analysis results of linear mixed model.

Summary: Microplastic, as an emerging contaminant, poses potential environmental threats globally. While most studies on the plastisphere have focused on aquatic ecosystems, our understanding of the soil plastisphere is still limited. The formation and succession of soil plastisphere communities can be influenced by MP characteristics and soil environmental factors, and may affect ecological processes such as co-transport of contaminants and soil carbon cycling.

Summary: This study explored the fate and mechanism of metal cations biosorption in the Desulfovibrio vulgaris system, finding that EPS (including TB-EPS and LB-EPS) played a greater role in adsorption compared to bacterial cells. The adsorption capacity of Pb2+ on EPS was greater than that of Cu2+ and Zn2+, and the adsorption process was dominated by complexation and electrostatic interaction. The findings provide valuable information on the interactions between Desulfovibrio vulgaris and its secreted EPS with metal cations.

Summary: This paper summarizes the positive effects of biochar on microorganisms in soil bioremediation, including acting as a shelter, providing nutrients, and improving soil conditions. These effects result in variations in microbial abundance, activity, and community structure. Biochar also acts as an electron mediator to promote electron transfer in microbial degradation. However, the potential toxic substances carried by biochar that can threaten microbial communities should not be overlooked. This review helps us better understand the role of biochar in soil bioremediation and enables targeted selection and modification of biochar for desired outcomes in practical applications.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
