Understanding the risks associated with potable reuse is essential to ensuring that public health is protected from waterborne pathogens. This paper provides a review on the studies that have performed quantitative microbial risk assessments (QMRAs) on potable reuse. The 30 articles included here studied direct potable reuse (DPR), indirect potable reuse (IPR), and/or <em>de facto</em> reuse (DFR), and a variety of pathogens, including norovirus, adenovirus, <em>Cryptosporidium</em>, <em>Giardia</em>, <em>Campylobacter</em>, and <em>Salmonella</em>. The QMRAs were either ‘top-down’ or regulations-focused, where log reduction targets (LRTs) were determined based on initial (<em>e.g.</em>, raw wastewater) pathogen concentrations and risk goals (<em>e.g.</em>, 10<small><sup>−4</sup></small> annual risk benchmark), or ‘bottom-up’ or risk-estimation-focused, where risks were calculated based on known pathogen concentrations and observed/credited log reduction values (LRVs). Some studies incorporated process failures and pathogen decay, which were often a driving factor for risk, but several studies omitted one or both. Many studies compared multiple treatment trains (<em>e.g.</em>, carbon-based advanced treatment (CBAT) <em>vs.</em> reverse-osmosis-based advanced treatment (RBAT)). They found that treatment-based differences were pathogen-dependent because certain processes are better able to inactivate or remove certain pathogens. Many factors influence the risks reported in the various studies, including the assumed ratios of gene copies to infectious units (GC : IU), assumptions related to ingestion volume and frequency, dynamic <em>vs.</em> static modeling, and Bayesian approaches. The LRTs for the top-down QMRAs varied within and between studies, depending partially on the pathogen concentrations used and whether redundancy was included. The key findings from this review were that while QMRAs often have different goals warranting different assumptions, it is essential that researchers report these assumptions and their justifications so that policymakers and regulators fully understand their implications to avoid overly stringent or nonprotective regulations.</p>","PeriodicalId":75,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology","volume":" 3","pages":" 542-559"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/ew/d4ew00661e?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143513063","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 study aims to enhance the Fenton oxidation treatment of saline organic wastewater using nanobioparticle-prepared biochar in a traditional Fenton system to address these shortcomings. Initially, nano-bioparticles of FeS were synthesized using <em>Bacillus cereus</em> and carbonized at 700 °C under the protection of argon to produce biochar, which was characterized by SEM, EDS, and XRD.

The higher surface defects in BC, resulting from pyrolysis, improved OTC adsorption and degradation, and facilitated more effective ZVI-mediated PMS activation in ZVI@BC, achieving nearly 98.3% OTC removal from the aqueous solution.

This study investigates a combined treatment method for removing perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a prevalent PFC found in micro-polluted surface water. The method integrates nanoscale zero-valent iron (nFe)-activated persulfate (PS) pre-oxidation with conventional water treatment processes—coagulation, sedimentation, and sand filtration—combined with nanofiltration (NF). This study primarily aims to evaluate the efficiency of this combined process for PFOA removal and to elucidate the mechanisms underlying PS oxidation and NF separation. The treatment sequence, comprising nFe/PS pre-oxidation, conventional treatment, and NF, was strategically designed considering the specific roles of each process in PFOA removal. In the initial stage, nFe-activated PS generates sulfate radicals (SO<small><sub>4</sub></small><small><sup>−</sup></small>·) and hydroxyl radicals (OH·), which oxidize and degrade PFOA. The subsequent conventional treatment removes the majority of degradation byproducts and suspended solids. Finally, NF retains both PFOA and its oxidation products, thereby ensuring high removal efficiency. Experimental results indicate that an optimal PS dosage of 0.2 mM and an nFe-to-PS molar ratio of 1 : 1 achieved the maximum efficiency for PFOA removal. Among the tested sequences, “nFe/PS pre-oxidation + conventional treatment + NF” achieved the highest removal rate, exceeding 99%. Furthermore, this sequence resulted in the lowest surface potential of the NF membrane, which enhanced electrostatic interactions between the membrane and PFOA. This reduction in surface potential, combined with the formation of C–O bonds between PFOA and the NF membrane, further enhanced PFOA adsorption onto the membrane surface. The combined process of nFe/PS pre-oxidation, conventional treatment, and nanofiltration effectively removes PFOA from micro-polluted surface water, thereby contributing to improved drinking water safety.</p>","PeriodicalId":75,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology","volume":" 2","pages":" 449-460"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143107258","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}
