Recent findings that certain microbes could attenuate these pollutants suggest the potential to develop bioremediation technologies using functional microorganisms to combat this pollution crisis. A timely review on bioremediation progress and emerging tools that can be used to facilitate bioremediation design is needed. Thus far, bioremediation of PCBs and PBDEs is at the developing stage from laboratory investigation to field application, whereas exploring potent microbes remains the central task for PFASs. Successful bioremediation is underpinned by a collection of interactive microbes; however, relevant microbial ecology questions affecting bioremediation performance are underexplored. Machine learning, quantum chemistry, and biomolecular modeling are prospective tools to optimize system operation, predict environmental fate of chemicals, and explore functional enzymes, but their application in bioremediation only emerged recently. This review summarizes recently discovered microbes and genes involved in biodegradation of organohalide pollutants, highlights practical and ecological questions, and discusses potential application of computational tools in bioremediation of organohalide pollutants.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":52296,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Environmental Science and Health","volume":"32 ","pages":"Article 100452"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49793953","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}

However, in the last two decades, scientific evidence show that the other system is affected and exposure can be associated with lasting effects later in life. Beyond the respiratory system, the development and function of the cardiovascular system, the central nervous system, and the metabolism are affected. Indeed, there is an emerging concept that exposure to AP during gestation and early childhood increases the risk of disease in adulthood. In fact, the larger number of children breathing unhealthy air live in areas more prone to have other environmental threats, such as bad housing and precarious sanitation and lower access to health services, a situation that can be characterized as a multiple jeopardy, a scenario that children and their families fundamentally rely on public policies to be protected.
