While the use of plastic materials has generated huge societal benefits, 'plastic age' comes with downsides: One issue emerging concern is accumulation plastics in aquatic environment. Here, so-called microplastics (MP), fragments smaller than 5 mm, are special because they can be ingested throughout food web more readily larger particles. Focusing on freshwater MP, we briefly review state science to identify gaps knowledge and deduce research needs.
A comprehensive monitoring of a broad set antibiotics in the final effluent wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) 7 European countries (Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Cyprus, Germany, Finland, and Norway) was carried out two consecutive years (2015 2016). This is first study this kind performed at an international level. Within 53 monitored 17 were detected least once WWTPs, i.e.: ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, enrofloxacin, orbifloxacin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, sulfapyridine, sulfamethoxazole,...
The antibiotic resistome in European UWTPs mirrors the gradient of north-to-south clinical resistance prevalence.
The so-called marine litter, and in particular microplastics (MPs) nanoplastics (NPs), are ubiquitously distributed recognised as an emerging risk for the environment human health. It is known that environments one of most impacted areas among them; coastal zones contaminated ones. They subjected to population pressure, tourism, harbours, desalination plants, traffic fish farms. This review focused on Mediterranean Sea, currently considered hot spot pollution world, a consequence high number...
Abstract Biosensors can be excellent analytical tools for monitoring programs working to implement legislation. In this article, biosensors environmental analysis and are extensively reviewed. Examples of the most important families envi-ronmental pollutants, including some commercial devices, presented. Finally, future trends in biosensor development discussed. context, bioelectronics, nanotechnology, miniaturization, especially biotechnology seem growing areas that will have a marked...
