“…For example, industrial laundries were shown to be the main DEHP and DEP source in industrial effluents, while DnBP was mostly associated with the pharmaceutical industry (Berg e et al, 2014). Concerning domestic effluents, dishwater graywater was reported as an important DnBP source (54% relative abundance), while DEHP was predominant in all other types of graywater (Deshayes et al, 2017). In the case of our sampling station, two WWTPs are situated~15 km upstream and are probable sources of the organic contaminants measured in this study, as well as the plastic packaging and plastic material industry located in the commune of Avignon (~35 km upstream).…”

We present here a comprehensive study (1-year regular sampling) on the occurrence of major families of organic plastic additives in the Rhône River surface waters. Potential sources and contaminant export are also discussed. A total of 22 dissolved phase samples were analyzed for 22 organic additives mainly used in the plastic industry, including organophosphate esters (OPEs), phthalates (PAEs) and bisphenols (BPs). Our results indicate that PAEs were the most abundant class, with concentrations ranging from 97 to 541 ng L À1 , followed by OPEs (85e265 ng L À1 ) and BPs (4e21 ng L À1 ). Among PAEs, diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) was the most abundant compound, whereas TCPP (Tris(1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate) and TnBP (Tri(n-butyl)phosphate) were the predominant OPEs. Bisphenol S was the only BP detected. 5 e54 metric tons year À1 of dissolved organic plastic additives of emerging concern are estimated to be exported to the Gulf of Lion by the Rhône River, which is the main freshwater source of the Mediterranean Sea.

“…Nonylphenol, a non-anionic detergent, was found in greater concentrations in laundry (62 ug/L) and bath/shower (32.8 ug/L) greywaters, likely attributed to the use of personal care products and laundry detergents. Average concentrations of nonylphenol from laundry and bathroom sources were also greater than other sources as observed by Deshayes et al (2017), whose study was based in France. Overall, Noutsopoulos et al (2018) has demonstrated the variability between individual greywater sources, which are heavily influenced by their related activities and products.…”

<p>Due to the impacts of global climate change, sustainable use of water resources is critical. Greywater, which is wastewater from domestic sources (excluding toilet effluent), is reused worldwide to mitigate such pressures. Research has focused on greywater quality and its effects on soil properties. However, as there is a lack of information regarding the impact of greywater on the biota that inhabit soils, this study was conducted to assess the growth, behaviour, and reproduction of select terrestrial organisms (Brassica rapa, Eisenia andrei, Folsomia candida) when exposed to untreated and artificial greywater. Overall, untreated greywater was not detrimental to B. rapa seed germination numbers, although artificial greywater resulted in slower germination rates. For E. andrei, untreated greywater soils were preferentially selected in short-term avoidance experiments and more juveniles were produced in reproductive tests than the reference treatment. No significant differences were observed during the avoidance and reproduction bioassays for F. candida.</p>

“…These techniques utilize optical particle counters and fluorescence microscopy for monitoring and detailed characterization [107]. Additionally, air samplers have been used to gather varying-sized particles, subsequently undergoing next-generation sequencing for analyzing microbial composition [108]. These advancements have significantly enhanced our ability to precisely and comprehensively characterize bioaerosols in WWTPs.…”

Bioaerosol emission at various WWTP treatment units has drawn attention due to their potential negative impacts on human health. This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of the global research on bioaerosol emissions from WWTPs from 1995 to 2022. The Scopus database was used to identify relevant articles and research trends, major contributors in the field, and recent developments. The study examined 122 articles in the field of bioaerosols in WWTPs. The analysis findings showed that publications and citations peaked in 2022, with values of 25 and 818, respectively. At the beginning of the study period, the USA, Poland, and Italy led the publications’ ranking, but with time, China emerged as the most influential country in the field. Recent advances in the field have revealed that spectral intensity bioaerosol sensors have contributed to the faster and more reliable identification and classification of bioaerosols. It was also observed that probabilistic techniques relying on mathematical models and assumptions to ascertain the risks associated with bioaerosols may result in false interpretations. Despite their high cost, epidemiological studies were best for assessing plant workers’ health risks. The outbreak has raised questions about accurately evaluating and modeling SARS-CoV-2 persistence, infectivity, and aerosolization over WWTP sites and environmental factors. Finally, the study highlighted the potential of three control treatment approaches: carbon absorption, UV irradiation, and ozone treatments, which proved efficient in reducing bioaerosol emissions.
