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.

Existing studies suggest that OPEs are widely present in soil, with concentrations ranging from non-detectable levels to 80,300 ng/g. These compounds can migrate to other environmental media through processes such as adsorption, desorption, volatilization, and bioaccumulation. OPEs exhibit reproductive toxicity, developmental toxicity, and neurotoxicity to soil fauna. In soil, OPEs can undergo hydrolysis and photolysis to degrade into diesters or monoesters, or they can biodegrade through specific enzyme-catalyzed reactions.

This review focuses on the current status of arsenic contamination, the release mechanism, the mobilization, and remediation of arsenic-polluted groundwater in major river deltas in Vietnam. The most arsenic-polluted regions in Vietnam are the Red River Delta (up to 3050 μg/L) and the Mekong River Delta (up to 1351 μg/L), far exceeding the permissible limit value of the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for arsenic in groundwater at 10 μg/L.
