Investigation of Potential Risks in Bio‐Based Food Contact Materials (FCMs) From Microbial Exploitation of Agricultural Wastes: Case Studies of Bacterial Cellulose and Nisin

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In the context of the circular economy and the increasing demand for safe and sustainable packaging, this work addresses the safety assessment of food contact materials (FCMs) derived from agro‐industrial by‐products. Despite growing interest in these bio‐based materials, the literature still lacks a structured safety‐assessment framework able

Nanoborate Based Decontamination of Poultry Carcasses

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Nanoborate solutions are a promising alternative for decontamination of poultry carcasses. Compared to chlorine dioxide, nanoborate solutions‐treated carcasses consistently exhibited greater microbial control and approximately 50% longer shelf life. ABSTRACT Despite the implementation of strict biosecurity and food safety systems in broiler production,

Recent Advances in Piezocatalysis and Piezo‐Photocatalysis in Energy and Environment: Materials, Design, and Applications

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Piezocatalytic technology utilizes mechanical strain or stress‐induced piezoelectric phenomena to produce robust internal electric fields, markedly improving the separation efficiency of e−‐h+ pairs. This method has emerged as a focal point in catalysis by removing reliance on conventional light or electrical energy via its mechanical‐to ...

Contamination of Bathing Waters with Trihalomethanes in Slovenia

Zdravniški Vestnik, 2015
THM and AOX compounds form as by-products of disinfection with the use of chlorine. THM compounds can pose problems for pool water, while AOX compounds can be problematic for waste water.

Estimating Operational Costs of Activated Carbon for Water Treatment Plants by Predicting the Rise of Harmful Algal Blooms Under Climate Change in Korea Using Machine Learning

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigated future operational costs in water treatment (WT) plants. Random forest modeling projected 3–5 times more abundant cyanobacteria by 2100 due to climate change. Increased microcystins demanded substantially more activated carbon and, as a result, WT costs could rise to $6–22/household/month.

Fenton Treatment of Filter Backwash Water for Recycling in DWTP

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 3, March 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates the treatment and recycling pathway of filter backwash water (FBW) generated in drinking water treatment plants. The proposed treatment innovatively applies the Fenton advanced oxidation process, using the iron naturally present in the FBW, with a sedimentation step for effective clarification. ABSTRACT Drinking water
