Emerging electrochemical portable methodologies on carbon-based electrocatalyst for the determination of pharmaceutical and pest control pollutants: State of the art

Ecotoxicology Evaluation of a Fenton—Type Process Catalyzed with Lamellar Structures Impregnated with Fe or Cu for the Removal of Amoxicillin and Glyphosate

“…As reported by Caverzan [36], the presence of singlet oxygen (1O 2 ), superoxide (O 2 ), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), and hydroxyl radicals (OH) can cause cell damage due to oxidative stress that can be developed by protein modification and aldehyde generation [36,37]. This is consistent with that reported by Minshra [4], where amoxicillin together with various ROS can generate chemical stress leading to low protein synthesis [4].…”

“…Emerging pollutants, including pharmaceuticals and pesticides, have received particular attention due to the significant increase in their use worldwide in recent years [3,4]. Antibiotics, for example, have been heavily researched for their removal from various environmental matrices, such as soil, sludge, and water, due to the identified correlation between their presence and the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant genes.…”

Computational Chemistry as Applied in Environmental Research: Opportunities and Challenges

“…Chemical innovations have played a crucial role in shaping and constructing our modern society, significantly contributing to its development and progress. , However, their associated byproducts and waste generation have unintentional detrimental effects on the environment, ecology, and human health. , An estimated nine million worldwide deaths per year have been directly linked to environmental pollution, notwithstanding its detrimental effects on ecosystems. , Current environmental research efforts focus on mitigating these impacts. − Biological and physicochemical techniques, such as adsorption, advanced oxidation processes, reduction, photocatalysis, and chemical or biological oxidation, have been developed to degrade recalcitrant pollutants along with analytical techniques that are able to track minimal concentrations of chemicals in the environment. − Exploring and understanding the interaction of pollutants with the environment, reaction and adsorption mechanisms, properties of catalysts, and development of predictive models for toxicity and reactivity are aspects that can guide technologies aiming to mitigate environmental contamination. Computational and experimental chemistry can work in synergy to impact several areas, including drug discovery, synthetic chemistry, , energy, environmental chemistry, and materials science. − Theoretical calculations can study the properties of molecules at the atomic level and simulate the behavior of complex systems without the necessity of performing specific experiments …”

Screen-Printed Carbon Electrodes with Cationic Cyclodextrin Carbon Nanotubes and Ferrocenyl-Carnosine for Electrochemical Sensing of Hg(II)

“…The additional layer of nanomaterial that alters the shape and structure of the electrode surface can increase the electrical conductivity and surface area, improving sensitivity. Several carbon-based nanomaterials have been proposed in the literature for electrode surface modification, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, carbon onions, graphene quantum dots, etc., both in their native form and as chemically functionalized derivatives. − …”
