Abstract The pollution of the environment with toxic metals is a result many human activities, such as mining and metallurgy, effects these on ecosystems are large economic public‐healthsignificance. This paper presents features advantages unconventional removal method heavy – biosorption part bioremediation. Bioremediation consists group applications, which involvethe detoxification hazardous substances instead transferring them from one medium to another, by means microbes plants. process...

Emerging pollutants (EPs) are chemicals known to cause major impacts on the terrestrial, aquatic life and human health as a result of their chronic acute toxicity. Although lots studies EPs behavior in environment currently available literature, an urgent requirement exists complete toxicological develop implement efficient ecological methods for removal. This paper raises some relevant problems related water pollution with EPs, risks they can generate humans opportunities reduce effects by...

The unprecedented pressure posed by a growing population on water resources generates significant shortage between the available and demand, which together with scarcity, floods, droughts, can affect world various other consumers. On hand, soil resources, represent an essential complex environmental ecosystem, as support for biological cycle, source of nutrients, cultivated wild plants, forestry, etc., are provider raw materials, increasingly degrading due to unsustainable use. Since both...

Construction and demolition wastes (C&DW) are usually recognized as not dangerous, but their accumulation can generate serious environmental problems. In spite of C&DW high potential to be reused/recycled, the practical procedures need assessed in terms consequences. The objective this study is quantify impacts recycling/reuse, specifically production aggregate 0/30 mm, comparative those generated during natural inert processing, global addressing whole process for each technological phase....

Persistent toxic substances including persistent organic pollutants and heavy metals have been released in high quantities surface waters by industrial activities. Their presence environmental compartments is causing harmful effects both on the environment human health. It was shown that their removal from wastewaters using conventional methods adsorbents not always a sustainable process. In this circumstance, use of microorganisms for uptake can be seen as being an environmentally-friendly...
