1. Beyond borders: A systematic review and meta-analysis of human-specific faecal markers across geographical settings.
PMID:日期:2025-02-06Human fecal waste is a global health risk associated with diarrheal diseases, responsible for approximately 1.2 million deaths annually. Microbial Source Tracking (MST) is a molecular method that evaluates environmental sources of fecal contamination, aiding quantification of this contamination and associated health risks. However, reported variations in global human gut microbiomes and geographic performance of human-specific fecal markers suggest that current MST targets may not have broad applicability across populations. This systematic review quantified the performance of human-specific fecal markers to identify those suitable for use across various geographic regions. We evaluated data from primary research articles, published before 18 October 2023, identified through PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science using PRISMA guidelines. 103 studies published between 1995 and 2023, spanning 34 countries, 6 continents, and 4 climate zones met inclusion criteria, with quantifiable performance metrics (sensitivity, specificity or accuracy) and a geographic testing location. Extracted data was analyzed to establish marker performance across geographic locations, climate zones, and development status. Over 80% were conducted in High-Income Countries (HICs) and >50% in temperate zones, primarily in the USA (43%), Australia (24%), and Spain (19%). was the most commonly tested ( = 45 studies). However, no target consistently demonstrated sensitivity, specificity, and/or accuracy >80% across different settings. Consequently, a decision tree is presented supporting selection of appropriate human-specific markers for regional-specific baseline studies. This provides critical information to support new MST research, particularly in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), assisting with informed decision and method selection for assessing risks of faecal derived pathogens.

2. Recovery of phosphorus from wastewater: A review based on current phosphorous removal technologies.
PMID:日期:2022-09-30Phosphorus (P) as an essential nutrient for life sustains the productivity of food systems; yet misdirected P often accumulates in wastewater and triggers water eutrophication if not properly treated. Although technologies have been developed to remove P, little attention has been paid to the recovery of P from wastewater. This work provides a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art P removal technologies in the science of wastewater treatment. Our analyses focus on the mechanisms, removal efficiencies, and recovery potential of four typical water and wastewater treatment processes including precipitation, biological treatment, membrane separation, and adsorption. The design principles, feasibility, operation parameters, and pros & cons of these technologies are analyzed and compared. Perspectives and future research of P removal and recovery are also proposed in the context of paradigm shift to sustainable water treatment technology.

3. Methodological Challenges in Spatial and Contextual Exposome-Health Studies.
PMID:日期:2022-07-04The concept of the exposome encompasses the totality of exposures from a variety of external and internal sources across an individual's life course. The wealth of existing spatial and contextual data makes it appealing to characterize individuals' external exposome to advance our understanding of environmental determinants of health. However, the spatial and contextual exposome is very different from other exposome factors measured at the individual-level as spatial and contextual exposome data are more heterogenous with unique correlation structures and various spatiotemporal scales. These distinctive characteristics lead to multiple unique methodological challenges across different stages of a study. This article provides a review of the existing resources, methods, and tools in the new and developing field for spatial and contextual exposome-health studies focusing on four areas: (1) data engineering, (2) spatiotemporal data linkage, (3) statistical methods for exposome-health association studies, and (4) machine- and deep-learning methods to use spatial and contextual exposome data for disease prediction. A critical analysis of the methodological challenges involved in each of these areas is performed to identify knowledge gaps and address future research needs.

4. Field analyzers for lead quantification in drinking water samples.
PMID:日期:2020-06-26Field analyzers for the measurement of lead in drinking water samples are gaining interest from states, water utilities and building managers as rapid, inexpensive and simple tools to quantify lead concentrations. This literature review compares data quality by field analyzers to established laboratory methods and provides practical information (e.g. costs, ease-of-use) on commercial lead analyzers that are based on: (1) Electrochemistry, (2) Colorimetry and (3) Fluorescence. Between and within these three general field analyzer categories, manufacturers specify a variety of protocols to prepare the samples, which differ from the standard acidification in laboratory methods. Review of the literature raised concerns that without adequate sample preparation, field analyzers may not always fully quantify the total lead concentration, including particulate lead, thereby resulting in underestimations. Nonetheless, field analyzers have been used to quickly obtain experimental results in the laboratory, or in the field when access to laboratory equipment was limited, expensive or otherwise impractical. Field analyzers were also successfully used to detect lead from service lines, by a water utility where lead was mostly in the dissolved form. Overall, intrinsic strengths and weaknesses of field analyzers are discussed, to better balance practical convenience and adequate data quality depending on the objective.

5. Advances in characterizing microbial community change and resistance upon exposure to lead contamination: Implications for ecological risk assessment.
5. 铅污染暴露下微生物群落变化及抗性表征研究进展：对生态风险评估的意义PMID:日期:2019-12-23Recent advancement in molecular techniques has spurred waves of studies on responses of microorganisms to lead contamination exposure, leveraging detailed phylogenetic analyses and functional gene identification to discern the effects of lead toxicity on microbial communities. This work provides a comprehensive review of recent research on (1) microbial community changes in contaminated aquatic sediments and terrestrial soils; (2) lead resistance mechanisms; and (3) using lead resistance genes for lead biosensor development. Sufficient evidence in the literature, including both and studies, indicates that exposure to lead contamination inhibits microbial activity resulting in reduced respiration, suppressed metabolism, and reduced biomass as well as altered microbial community structure. Even at sites where microbial communities do not vary compositionally with contamination levels due to extremely long periods of exposure, functional differences between microbial communities are evident, indicating that some microorganisms are susceptible to lead toxicity as others develop resistance mechanisms to survive in lead contaminated environments. The main mechanisms of lead resistance involve extracellular and intracellular biosorption, precipitation, complexation, and/or efflux pumps. These lead resistance mechanisms are associated with suites of genes responsible for specific lead resistance mechanisms and may serving as indicators of lead contamination in association with dominance of certain phyla. This allows for development of several lead biosensors in environmental biotechnology. To promote applications of these advanced understandings, molecular techniques, and lead biosensor technology, perspectives of future work on using microbial indicators for site ecological assessment is presented.

6. Occurrence of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Source Water and Their Treatment in Drinking Water.
6. 水源水中全氟和多氟烷基物质（PFAS）的出现及其在饮用水中的处理PMID:日期:2019-06Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) occurrence in drinking water and treatment methods for their removal are reviewed. PFAS are fluorinated substances whose unique properties make them effective surface-active agents with uses ranging from stain repellants to fire-fighting foams. In response to concerns about drinking water contamination and health risks from PFAS exposure, the United States Environmental Protection Agency published Health Advisories (HAs) for perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid. The occurrence of six PFAS in drinking water has been reported in the Third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR3), and subsequent analysis of the dataset suggested that four percent of water systems reported at least one detectable PFAS compound and 1.3 percent of water systems reported results above the HAs. Many treatment technologies have been evaluated in the literature, with the most promising and readily applied treatment technologies being activated carbon, anion exchange resins, and high-pressure membrane systems. From these data and literature reports, research and data gaps were identified and suggestions for future research are provided.

7. Alginate-based composites for environmental applications: A critical review.
7. 基于藻酸盐的复合材料在环境应用中的研究：关键综述PMID:日期:2018-12-20Alginate-based composites have been extensively studied for applications in energy and environmental sectors due to their biocompatible, nontoxic, and cost-effective properties. This review is designed to provide an overview of the synthesis and application of alginate-based composites. In addition to an overview of current understanding of alginate biopolymer, gelation process, and cross-linking mechanisms, this work focuses on adsorption mechanisms and performance of different alginate-based composites for the removal of various pollutants including dyes, heavy metals, and antibiotics in water and wastewater. While encapsulation in alginate gel beads confers protective benefits to engineered nanoparticles, carbonaceous materials, cells and microbes, alginate-based composites typically exhibit enhanced adsorption performance. The physical and chemical properties of alginate-based composites determine the effectiveness under different application conditions. A series of alginate-based composites and their physicochemical and sorptive properties have been summarized. This critical review not only summarizes recent advances in alginate-based composites but also presents a perspective of future work for their environmental applications.

8. {"_":"State of the science review: Potential for beneficial use of waste by-products for remediation of metal-contaminated soil and sediment.","i":["in situ"]}
8. 科学现状综述：废物副产品用于修复金属污染土壤和沉积物的有益利用潜力PMID:日期:2017-02-06Metal and metalloid contamination of soil and sediment is a widespread problem both in urban and rural areas throughout the United States (U.S. EPA, 2014). Beneficial use of waste by-products as amendments to remediate metal-contaminated soils and sediments can provide major economic and environmental advantages on both a site-specific and national scale. These waste by-products can also reduce our need to mine virgin materials or produce synthetic materials for amendments. Waste by-products must not be hazardous or pose unacceptable risk to human health and the environment, and should be a suitable replacement for virgin and synthetic materials. This review serves to present the state of science on in situ remediation of metal-contaminated soil and sediment and the potential for beneficial usage of waste by-product materials. Not all unintended consequences can be fully understood or predicted prior to implementing a treatment option, however some realized, and potentially unrealized, benefits and unintended consequences are explored.

9. Estimating the microbiological risks associated with inland flood events: Bridging theory and models of pathogen transport.
PMID:日期:2016-12-09Flooding is known to facilitate infectious disease transmission, yet quantitative research on microbiological risks associated with floods has been limited. Pathogen fate and transport models provide a framework to examine interactions between landscape characteristics, hydrology, and waterborne disease risks, but have not been widely developed for flood conditions. We critically examine capabilities of current hydrological models to represent unusual flow paths, non-uniform flow depths, and unsteady flow velocities that accompany flooding. We investigate the theoretical linkages between hydrodynamic processes and spatio-temporally variable suspension and deposition of pathogens from soils and sediments; pathogen dispersion in flow; and concentrations of constituents influencing pathogen transport and persistence. Identifying gaps in knowledge and modeling practice, we propose a research agenda to strengthen microbial fate and transport modeling applied to inland floods: 1) development of models incorporating pathogen discharges from flooded sources (e.g., latrines), effects of transported constituents on pathogen persistence, and supply-limited pathogen transport; 2) studies assessing parameter identifiability and comparing model performance under varying degrees of process representation, in a range of settings; 3) development of remotely sensed datasets to support modeling of vulnerable, data-poor regions; and 4) collaboration between modelers and field-based researchers to expand the collection of useful data in situ.

10. Nonoxidative removal of organics in the activated sludge process.
10. 活性污泥法中非氧化性有机物的去除PMID:日期:2016-02-18The activated sludge process is commonly used to treat wastewater by aerobic oxidation of organic pollutants into carbon dioxide and water. However, several nonoxidative mechanisms can also contribute to removal of organics. Sorption onto activated sludge can remove a large fraction of the colloidal and particulate wastewater organics. Intracellular storage of, e.g., polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), triacylglycerides (TAG), or wax esters can convert wastewater organics into precursors for high-value products. Recently, several environmental, economic, and technological drivers have stimulated research on nonoxidative removal of organics for wastewater treatment. In this paper, we review these nonoxidative removal mechanisms as well as the existing and emerging process configurations that make use of them for wastewater treatment. Better utilization of nonoxidative processes in activated sludge could reduce the wasteful aerobic oxidation of organic compounds and lead to more resource-efficient wastewater treatment plants.
