On‐site pilot‐scale advanced oxidation pretreatment of hospital wastewater: assessment of pharmaceuticals, pathogens, antibiotic resistance genes and acute ecotoxicity

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 8, Page 1478-1491, August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Hospital premises generate wastewater containing a wide spectrum of contaminants, such as pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and pathogenic microorganisms, whilst plenty of them are classified under the antibiotic resistant bacteria (ΑRΒ) category.

The use of activated carbon derived from spent coffee grounds as a reusable, sustainable, and effective solution for the removal of butylparaben from water

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 8, Page 1547-1558, August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Parabens, including butylparaben (BP), are widely used as antimicrobial preservatives in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, yet are poorly removed by conventional water treatment processes and pose potential risks to aquatic life and human health.

A simple index for assessing cumulative human impacts on mountain lakes

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Mountain lakes are highly sensitive ecosystems and effective sentinels of environmental change, yet the exposure and magnitude of the human footprint remain poorly quantified. In this study, we develop a simple and non‐invasive abiotic index to assess cumulative pressures on mountain lakes. The proposed index integrates eight variables grouped

Occurrence of Antimicrobial Resistance in Kocuria rhizophila Bacteria Isolated From Salmo munzuricus (Teleostei: Salmonidae) Samples in Natural Resources

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
This study examined the antibiotic susceptibility of Kocuria rhizophila isolated from Salmo munzuricus samples taken from the Munzur River. The isolates are resistant to Penicillin G, moderately susceptible to gentamicin and tetracycline, and highly susceptible to amoxicillin and ampicillin.

Mitochondrial Genome Reduction and Accelerated Evolution in Planktonic Foraminiferans

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
The mitochondrial genomes of the eukaryotic lineage Retaria (Foraminifera and Radiolaria) show reductions in multiple gene categories, including complex I, transfer RNAs (tRNAs), ribosomal proteins, and ribosomal RNAs. In planktonic foraminifera, this reduction is even more pronounced, with the potential loss of atp and other genes.

Assessment of Microplastic Ingestion in Commercial Marine Fish From Cities of Sibu and Kuching, Eastern Sarawak, Malaysia

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution is an ever‐growing issue in the marine ecosystem around the world. However, the study on MP pollution in marine fish remains limited, particularly those conducted in Eastern Sarawak, Malaysia. Hence, this study investigated the occurrence of MP on the marine fish, collected from local fish market in the city of Sibu
