“…In the field of wastewater treatment, CWs are increasingly gaining recognition due to their adaptability and durability in removing pollutants. Apart from efficiently removing organic matter from wastewater, a few studies have shown that CWs can degrade recalcitrant organic pollutants ( Auvinen et al, 2017 ; Casierra-Martinez et al, 2020 ). Auvinen et al (2017) evaluated the performance of a transportable pilot-scale aerated subsurface flow constructed wetland to treat a hospital effluent in Belgium.…”

Hospitals release significant quantities of wastewater (HWW) and biomedical waste (BMW), which hosts a wide range of contaminants that can adversely affect the environment if left untreated. The COVID-19 outbreak has further increased hospital waste generation over the past two years. In this context, a thorough literature study was carried out to reveal the negative implications of untreated hospital waste and delineate the proper ways to handle them. Conventional treatment methods can remove only 50%–70% of the emerging contaminants (ECs) present in the HWW. Still, many countries have not implemented suitable treatment methods to treat the HWW in-situ. This review presents an overview of worldwide HWW generation, regulations, and guidelines on HWW management and highlights the various treatment techniques for efficiently removing ECs from HWW. When combined with advanced oxidation processes, biological or physical treatment processes could remove around 90% of ECs. Analgesics were found to be more easily removed than antibiotics, β-blockers, and X-ray contrast media. The different environmental implications of BMW have also been highlighted. Mishandling of BMW can spread infections, deadly diseases, and hazardous waste into the environment. Hence, the different steps associated with collection to final disposal of BMW have been delineated to minimize the associated health risks. The paper circumscribes the multiple aspects of efficient hospital waste management and may be instrumental during the COVID-19 pandemic when the waste generation from all hospitals worldwide has increased significantly.

“…Nevertheless, grey technologies can bring the added value of producing higher quality reclaimed water (Mishra et al, 2018). iv) Enhancing performance in removing emerging contaminants and toxic or bio-recalcitrant compounds (Chow et al, 2017;Casierra-Martinez et al, 2020;Gomes et al, 2020). CGGT can favour the breakdown of persistent organic compounds into more biodegradable substrates (Jaén-Gil et al, 2021).…”

“…For example, a CW coupled with ozonation was statistically better at removing pharmaceuticals than a CW alone (Lancheros et al, 2019). Moreover, constructed wetland-solar photo-fenton coupled systems represent an alternative for reducing the discharge of pharmaceuticals in the environment by achieving high removal efficiency at low cost (Casierra-Martinez et al, 2020) A greater focus on the green-grey rather than grey-green sequence was observed when targeting urban wastewater reuse onsite under decentralized schemes. Of all of the selected articles, 14 addressed green-grey technologies, four were about grey-green technologies and only one studied both green-grey and grey-green (Fig.…”

“…It has excellent treatment performance, simple operation and easy to carry out maintenance and management. It has been highly praised by relevant departments and researchers (Khatiwada and Polprasert, 1999;Korovessis and Lekkas, 2009;Alvarez et al, 2017;Mishra et al, 2018;Casierra-Martinez et al, 2020). Solar constructed wetland has the potential to detoxify wastewater containing pesticides effectively, and producing a purified effluent which could be exploited for reuse (Berberidou et al, 2017).…”

The objective of this study was to investigate Escherichia coli (E. coli) contamination in drinking water samples collected from a number of rural habitations of Zhangye City, Northwest China. A total of 37 villages along the Heihe River in Zhangye City were selected. The presence of E. coli was tested for using the MicroSnap TM E. coli Test Kit, which is a rapid bioluminogenic method for detection and enumeration of E. coli bacteria. Test results demonstrated that drinking water in 81.1% of the villages was contaminated with E. coli according to the Chinese Sanitary Standards for Domestic and Drinking Water. Majority of the higher E. coli CFU values were tested from villages located in the urban areas in Zhangye City. The data suggested that contamination of the drinking water in the rural habitations of Zhangye City was related to animal husbandry practices. In addition, the interactions of surface and groundwaters is not direct causes of the E. coli contamination found in Zhangye City. The occurrence of E. coli in drinking water may increase the risk of water-related diseases and health problems in local residents. It is therefore strongly recommended that solar energy technology be taken to protect water resources from contamination.
