Here we review the advantages and disadvantages of removal methods, and we explain how to choose an optimal method. We also compare contamination of drinking water sources and industrial effluents. Removal methods include carbon adsorption, ion-exchange, and reverse osmosis. Filtration-adsorption on granular activated carbon appears as a cheap and efficient method, yet short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are little or no retained by the adsorbent. Ion exchange is efficient, and the resins can be regenerated, yet this method highly depends on water composition because the efficiency may be decreased by adsorption competition with other substances. Reverse osmosis is the most effective treatment, yet it is energy intensive. The three methods display other problems such as the disposal of the waste produced.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":541,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Chemistry Letters","volume":"24 2","pages":"321 - 345"},"PeriodicalIF":20.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145665076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

Here we studied the movement of norfloxacin mixed with pyrogenic carbon colloids through sand columns with 50 v% or 100 v% water saturation, at acidic pH of 4.2, neutral pH of 7.4, and alkaline pH of 10.5, using batch adsorption, column transport, and colloid stability analyses based on particle size and zeta potential. Prior to injection, pyrogenic carbon colloids were pre-equilibrated with 1 and 15 mg/L norfloxacin solutions. Results show that, at acidic pH, norfloxacin and pyrogenic carbon colloids were retained in the column, possibly by colloid aggregation due to reduced surface charge. At neutral pH and 1 mg/L norfloxacin, all norfloxacin passed through the column in the form of colloid-bound norfloxacin, with a mass recovery of 102.0 w% norfloxacin in the effluent. By contrast, at 15 mg/L norfloxacin, most colloid-bound norfloxacin was retained in the column, and only 1.9 w% of norfloxacin was recovered in the effluent. At alkaline pH, carbon colloids and norfloxacin were co-transported, as a possible result of electrostatic repulsion. Water saturation had no effect on the transport behavior.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":541,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Chemistry Letters","volume":"24 2","pages":"287 - 293"},"PeriodicalIF":20.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145651369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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 higher number of adsorptive sites on functionalised wood enhanced adsorption, showing tetracycline removal up to 305.9 mg/g, and diclofenac removal up 350.0 mg/g.

Here we review polytetrafluoroethylene microplastics with emphasis on polytetrafluoroethylene characteristics, environmental occurrence, and detection methods. Polytetrafluoroethylene has high chemical stability and is used in medical devices, clothes and protective suits, aerospace, non-sticking pans, cables and insulation, filtration, irrigation and electronics. We discuss plastic utensils as microplastic sources, and the influence of temperature and aging on microplastic release. The presence of microplastics in humans, wild animals, sediments, water and the atmosphere is described. Limitations of actual analytical methods such as density separation are detailed. Polytetrafluoroethylene accounts for about 60% of the global fluoropolymer market, and is a major contributor to microplastic pollution, accounting for up to 44% of microplastics in sediments, 74% in benthic fish, and 60% in human organs. Our meta-analysis shows that polytetrafluoroethylene microplastic concentrations average 7.3 ± 13.3 particles per L in water, 3,685.7 ± 4,832.0 particles per kg in sediment, 24.9 ± 37.1 particles per individual in fish, and 482.5 ± 554.1 particles per kg in human tissues.
