“…Saccharin, aspartame and sorbitol, due to their environmental persistence and common detection in the environment, have been recognized as compounds of emerging concern [ 65 ]. They are some of the most popular artificial sweeteners used in various food products [ 66 ], so their presence in the pool water environment seems to be inevitable.…”

Widespread use and the continuous increase in consumption has intensified the presence of food additives and their metabolites in the environment. The growing awareness that newly identified compounds in the environment may cause a real threat, both to the environment and to future generations due to the transformation they undergo in ecosystems, makes this topic a leading problem of engineering and environmental protection. This manuscript highlights the relevance of finding these compounds in water. The exposure routes and the threat, both to human health and to the aquatic environment, have been discussed. The research presented in the article was aimed at determining the degree of contamination of swimming pools with food additives. Thirteen food additives have been identified in ten tested pools. The most frequently found were antioxidants (E320, E321) and preservatives (E211, E210), which were present in all of the tested swimming pools, both public and in private backyards. Ascorbic acid (E300) and citric acid (E330) occurred in all of the tested private swimming pools, while aspartame (E951, sweetener) and canthaxanthin (E161g, colour) were identified only in private pools. The hazard statements according to the European Chemicals Agency indicate that the identified compounds may cause both immediate effects (skin or eye irritation, allergic reactions) and also long-lasting effects, e.g., damaged fertility or genetic defects.

Industrial water pollution originating from various industries like textile, dairy, oil, and petrochemical industries, etc. is a huge concern globally and has led to devastating effects on the environment due to the release of refractory emerging contaminants (ECs). These ECs of concern have attracted wide devotion from the scientific community due to their recalcitrant nature and disastrous effects on plants, aquatic life forms, and humans. In this regard, conventional wastewater treatment technologies such as coagulation, flocculation, membrane technologies, electrocoagulation, and other biological technologies like sequencing batch reactor, anaerobic up‐flow sludge blanket reactor, etc., are inefficient in removing ECs from the industrial effluent, while conventional advanced oxidation processes incur high cost due to the extensive requirement of energy for the degradation of ECs. To overcome this issue, microbial electrochemical technologies (METs) can be employed. For instance, METs have shown promising results in the degradation of various ECs, such as microbial fuel cells, which have shown nearly 92% to 98% removal of sulfamethoxazole with simultaneous power recovery. Alizarin yellow R, nitrobenzene, and Congo red were degraded by microbial electrolysis cells with removal efficiency in the range of 88% to 98%, demonstrating their superiority in the elimination of trace contaminants. Similarly, almost 100% mineralization of pyraclostrobin was noticed for the bio‐electro‐Fenton process, showing the elevated potential of these neoteric technologies for the remediation of recalcitrant pollutants. Thus, the current review article aims to critically analyze the intervention of METs for the elimination of ECs from industrial wastewater.
