Performance of a Pilot-Scale Continuous Flow Ozone-Based Hospital Wastewater Treatment System

Antibiotics, 2023
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is becoming a global concern. Recently, research has emerged to evaluate the human and environmental health implications of wastewater from medical facilities and to identify acceptable wastewater treatment methods. In this

Issue Construals and Corporate Water Stewardship

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the face of mounting environmental and social pressures, the importance of responsible corporate water stewardship (CWS) should be evident, yet not all businesses are taking water management issues seriously. The aim of this study is to explore why differences in CWS persist, especially within industries facing similar resource challenges ...

Antibiotic resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from hospital wastewater in the Czech Republic

Journal of Water and Health, 2022
Resistant bacteria may leave the hospital environment through wastewater. The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, due to its intrinsic resistance to many antibiotics and its ability to easily acquire antibiotic resistance determinants, poses a

Vancomycin resistant enterococci: From the hospital effluent to the urban wastewater treatment plant

, 2013
Vancomycin is an important antibiotic to treat serious nosocomial enterococci infections. Human activities, in particular those related with clinical practices performed in hospitals, can potentiate the transfer and selection of clinically-relevant ...

Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...

Diffusion of Carbamazepine in Hydrophobic Zeolites: A Comparative Study Using Classical and Machine‐Learned Potentials

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Can hydrophobic, shape‐selective zeolites efficiently remove the persistent pharmaceutical CBZ from water? This work moves beyond the static picture of interaction energies by modeling diffusion with umbrella sampling and machine‐learned potentials. Even high intrinsic diffusion barriers can be overcome through exergonic adsorption from water, yielding

Surface‐Strongly Complexed BiVO4 Homojunction Photoanodes: Enabling Efficient Antibiotic Pollutant Degradation and Resource Upgrading

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Herein, a synergistic photoelectrochemical‐photothermal platform is constructed for simultaneous kanamycin remediation and resource valorization, addressing energy and environmental concerns. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) technology offers a promising approach for degrading antibiotic pollutants, yet it remains constrained by low efficiency and incomplete

Learning Networks Drive Environmental Innovation: Evidence From Fourth‐Stage Purification Diffusion

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contaminants of emerging concern, including pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals, threaten water quality globally. In the European Union (EU), until the adoption of the revised Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive in 2024, a regulatory gap had left the member states and the municipalities in them without binding removal standards ...
