“…EDCs are defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as chemicals that may alter the reproductive function in males and females, increase incidence of breast cancer, abnormal growth patterns, and neurodevelopmental delays in children as well as changes in immune function [17]. EDCs include natural hormones created in the body or synthetic hormones as well as industrial/commercial compounds which can have some hormonal functions, such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) [18][19][20], pesticides [21][22][23], plasticizers [24,25], nanoparticles [26,27], and so on.…”

This review covers various methods to remove, treat, and detect emerging contaminants (ECs) in water and wastewater. ECs have drawn the attention of many countries due to their potential threat to human health as well as the environment. They are found in many human everyday products that are continuously released into the environment and will accumulate over time. In order to remove ECs, a number of methods have been developed, which include adsorption, membrane technology, biological treatment, and advanced oxidation process. In addition, advances in detection techniques and instrumentation are now able to detect ECs in which they occur at low concentrations. All the removal, treatment, and detection methods will be covered in this review. The removal, treatment, and detection of ECs and their transformation products in water and wastewater are challenging tasks due to their complexity in water samples. Therefore, such information should be emphasized in order to improve the current methods and develop new advanced methods.

In this chapter, we report previous results about advances of an electrolysis process developed for breakdown of endocrine disrupting drugs in aqueous media. The objective is to achieve the breakdown of two drugs: trimethoprim and a mixture of clavulanic acid-amoxicillin (1:7) with an electrolytic cell by means of oxidization-reduction reactions. The evaluation of the process was carried out using spectrometry techniques UV-Vis, thin layer chromatography (TLC), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total organic carbon (TOC). Handcrafted mineral carbon electrodes doped with titanium dioxide were designed, platinum and copper wires were placed, and a potassium hydroxide solution was used as electrolyte. The electrolyte, being an alkaline salt, allows the transport of charges from one side to the other, and electrode doped with titanium dioxide is used in order to help the electronic transfer, and the mineral carbon, having a strong affinity for organic and non-polar compounds, performs an adsorption process. Results from several performed assays showed that after 1 hour of treatment, it can be seen the breakdown of the drugs present in a synthetic wastewater solution.

“…Emerging organic pollutants, such as pharmaceuticals have been detected in the aquatic environment (Xu et al, 2007). Toxic effects of these compounds have been observed in aquatic organisms (Mottaleb, 2015), which could eventually pose a risk to human health and the environment (Hernando et al, 2006;Safe, 2000).…”

The aim of the present study was to elucidate the microbial community metabolic profiles in saturated constructed wetland (CW) mesocosms planted with five different wetland plant species fed with water individually spiked with 100 μg L -1 ibuprofen or iohexol. Community-level physiological profiling (CLPP) using Biolog Ecoplates was performed and coupled with the assessment of water quality parameters (water temperature, pH, DO and TOC, TN, NH4-N, PO4-P removal efficiency). The microbial community metabolic profiles (microbial acitivity, richness, and carbon source utilization), as well as the water quality parameters revelead similar trends among the control mesocosms and the mescocosms fed with water spiked with iohexol and ibuprofen. Significant differences were observed between the planted and unplanted mesocosms and between seasons  The corresponding author. a These authors contributed equally to this work.(summer and winter) within each of the feeding lines (control, iohexol or ibuprofen). The microbial community metabolic profiles in the saturated CW were shaped by plant presence and plant species, while no negative impact of iohexol and ibuprofen presence was noticed at the 100 μg L -1 . In addition, the microbial activity and richness were generally higher in planted mesocosms than in the unplanted systems in the summer. For the first time, a positive correlation between iohexol removal and the microbial community metabolic profiles (activity, richness and amines and amides utilization in summer, and carbohydrates utilization in winter) in the saturated mesocosms was observed.Putrescine utilization in the summer and D-cellobiose, D,L-alpha-glycerol phosphate in winter were linked with the metabolic processing of iohexol, while glycogen in summer and L-phenylalanine, Glycyl-L-glutamic acid in winter were linked with ibuprofen removal efficiency in the saturated CW.
