To help promote community engagement in environmental health risk assessment and management, we provide rationales and approaches. We illustrate our points with a case study concerning water reuse, as water recycling technologies expand across the United States and the world to address water scarcity and increased water demand, considering a community engagement continuum framework. Formal environmental risk assessment has always had a required component for public notification to seek comments, but it is arguably not meaningful community engagement, as it is often done after the risk assessment is completed (without input) and in response to contamination, without multi-directional community engagement. We show how effective multi-directional engagement of the community from the beginning of the risk assessment process can help to ensure that risk assessment and management are fair and effective. We also discuss some potential obstacles to effective community engagement concerning environmental health risk assessment and management and offer some recommendations for engineers, risk assessors, and policymakers.","PeriodicalId":34727,"journal":{"name":"Water Reuse","volume":"16 1","pages":"143-152"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13422951/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148631881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This perspective analyzes the role of competing next-generation biotechnologies such as integrated fixed-film activated sludge (IFAS) and the moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR), membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR), Modified Ludzack-Ettinger membrane bioreactor (MLE-MBR) and anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) upstream of reverse osmosis (RO)- and activated carbon (AC)-based AWP, and their ability to enhance contaminant removal and improve overall efficiency of AWP. Both MLE-MBR and AnMBR significantly enhance the removal of suspended solids, organics, and microbial contaminants through membrane filtration. AnMBR offers the possibility of net energy-positive operation but does not remove nitrogen, limiting compatibility with AWP. MLE-MBR removes nitrogen but has significantly greater energy demand due to aeration and mixed liquor return pumping. Overall, next-generation biotechnologies provide flexible and effective solutions to enhance secondary effluent quality, supporting safe and regulation-compliant IPR and DPR applications.","PeriodicalId":34727,"journal":{"name":"Water Reuse","volume":"16 1","pages":"203-225"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13533551/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148875652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the aim of removing Te(IV) from environmental aquatic systems, this study is the first to propose the use of MIL-100(Fe). The material reveals a strong adsorption capacity for Te(IV), with maximum adsorption of 531.9 mg/g, superior to other adsorbent materials. Adsorption isotherm models and kinetic models indicate that the adsorption process of Te(IV) primarily involves monolayer chemical adsorption. According to the thermodynamic parameters of Te(IV) adsorption on MIL-100(Fe), the adsorption reaction is endothermic. The experiment individually examined factors affecting the material's adsorption performance, including adsorbent dose, initial concentration of Te(IV), pH, adsorption time, and coexisting ions. Even under high ion strength conditions and high concentrations of coexisting ions, the material's adsorption efficiency for Te(IV) still reached over 95%. The material has been successfully applied to remove Te(IV) from lake water, river water, and seawater, yielding satisfactory results. Due to the high salinity and ionic strength of the solution, the removal efficiency of Te(IV) in the seawater matrix was slightly lower than that in freshwater (river and lake water). Thus, this material shows promise for the removal of Te(IV) from complex aquatic systems.","PeriodicalId":34727,"journal":{"name":"Water Reuse","volume":"50 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139442041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effectiveness of each treatment method was a function of sampling sources (p < 0.05) and location (p < 0.10), chlorination and boiling being the most efficient methods (100%). Shiegella in well water samples treated by filtration and flocculation had the highest daily infection risk of 69.5 × 10−1 and 67.5 × 10−1 pppd. The annual risk of infection from Salmonella, Shigella, and Staphylococcus ranged from 7.8 × 10−1 to 1.00 pppy, exceeding the U.S. EPA annual infection benchmark (≤10−4 pppy).

The addition of NaOCl to the cleaning chemical did not significantly increase the efficiency of chemical cleaning, and the average pure water permeability increase was 97 ± 13 LMH bar−1 after chemical cleaning with NaOH followed by HCl and 117 ± 15 LMH bar−1 after chemical cleaning with NaOH + NaOCl followed by HCl, on average.

The findings of this study show that untreated wastewater discharged from industries into the environment has been polluting rivers and the surrounding environment. Regulatory bodies did little to enforce rules, regulations, and directives provided for the regulation of wastewater. This paper examines the factors that explain weaknesses with respect to the accountability of institutions meant for wastewater governance. In doing so, it discusses task overlaps, corruption, and the absence of environmental courts that significantly affect environmental protection activities. The study found that due to poor implementation of laws and regulations, and lack of relevant information, including poor evidence of the pollution load, enforcement activities are under a great challenge. The paper concludes that urban agriculture has been expanding without concern for its negative health and socioeconomic impacts. The positive economic impacts of wastewater agriculture also need to be reassessed and improved as one livelihood option for the farming communities and calls for awareness creation and other measures to fully understand the existing benefits and impacts of wastewater on human health and the environment.","PeriodicalId":34727,"journal":{"name":"Water Reuse","volume":"61 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136023370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
