This study argues that biochar-based composites represent the most promising innovative solution for PFAS remediation. Biochar, produced through the pyrolysis of organic materials, possesses beneficial properties such as high porosity, surface area, and surface functionality, making it highly effective in removing various environmental pollutants. Recent advancements in biochar technology, such as incorporating materials like metal oxides, nanoparticles, metal–organic frameworks, and functionalized polymers, have only increased its efficacy. This article explores the latest developments in biochar-based PFAS removal, including adsorption mechanisms, while critically addressing the current limitations. The findings indicate that biochar-based composites offer a scalable, practical, and effective approach to mitigating PFAS contamination, and should be prioritized over conventional treatment methods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52296,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Science and Health","volume":"43 ","pages":"Article 100594"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143096874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anaerobic digestion (AD), a microbial-driven waste management technology, is particularly vulnerable to interference from ECs. This review comprehensively explores the effects of various ECs, including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, and microplastics, on AD processes and their underlying mechanisms. ECs typically inhibit sludge digestion by disrupting extracellular polymeric substance structures, altering enzyme activity, and affecting microbial communities and metabolic functions. However, at low concentrations, some microorganisms can adapt and restore methane production. Addressing the synergistic and antagonistic interactions of multiple ECs, which complicate treatment outcomes, is critical. Additionally, ECs alter the removal of resistance genes during AD by reshaping microbial host structures, enhancing horizontal gene transfer, and activating reaction pathways, increasing ecological risks. AD also demonstrates limited efficiency in degrading ECs, reducing the quality of digestate as biofertilizer and potentially impacting human health via the food chain. To improve AD efficiency in the presence of ECs, strategies such as source control, pretreatment, and novel green technologies are proposed. This review provides key insights into optimizing AD performance and resilience for EC-laden organic waste, emphasizing integrated and adaptive approaches to meet evolving challenges.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52296,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Science and Health","volume":"43 ","pages":"Article 100592"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143096873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent mechanistic insights into microbial degradation of PFAS offer promising solutions for their sustainable degradation. Specifically, bioelectrochemical systems can effectively break the strong C – F bonds in PFAS using high-energy electrons generated from electroactive microbes at a conductive anode electrode, achieving an astonishing removal efficiency of up to 96 %.

Recent investigations using clove (<em>Syzygium aromaticum</em>), Negramina (<em>Siparuna guianensis</em>), and common fig (<em>Ficus carica</em>) indicate that their essential oils and extracts generally exhibit lower toxicity to beneficial organisms than to target pests, potentially due to ecological factors like application timing. This review focuses on physiological selectivity, which involves preferential interactions between plant compounds and targets in pests versus NTOs. Advances in computational methods and genetic engineering enable the prediction of these interactions, revealing that plant compounds (e.g. β-caryophyllene, psoralen, sesquirosefuran, and eugenol) bind more effectively to specific enzymes and receptors in pest insects. By exploring these mechanisms, we highlight the potential of plant-based insecticides to reduce risks to NTOs and their role in sustainable pest management programs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52296,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Science and Health","volume":"44 ","pages":"Article 100601"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143437976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
