“…Figure 6 Fungi can be employed to promote treatment in several matrices polluted with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) [119], petroleum hydrocarbons [120][121][122][123][124], biphenyls [125], phthalates [126], polychlorinated herbicides such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins-PCDD [127], chlorinated insecticides and pesticides [128], textiles dyes [129], pharmaceutical substances like antibiotics sulfonamides [130], and norfloxacin [131]. Toxic metals, including cadmium, copper, mercury, lead, manganese, nickel, zinc, and iron, and metalloids, with an emphasis on arsenic, are extensively used in different types of industries, being released in high amounts to their effluents, causing direct or indirect environmental contamination where fungi can act to remediate [132][133][134][135][136]. Excellent books and original and review articles describe how these pollutants have been remediated, and some of them are documented in this manuscript as recommended readings, given the specific nature of the treatment for each type of wastewater [112,[115][116][117]135,[137][138][139][140].…”
