“…Moreover, numerous spills produced by routine oil operations and tankers. So, The Persian Gulf has experienced numerous and enormous pollution [61]. On the other hand, reducing the distribution and dispersal of pollutants because of the shallow depth and limited contact of the Persian Gulf with other aquatic ecosystems causes contaminants to remain in the Persian Gulf for a long time [62,63].…”

The Persian Gulf is one of the most diverse water environments in the world. There are various types of marine creatures including corals, sponges and fish in this marine environment. These pollutant sources in the Persian Gulf include oil spills from oil tanks, shipping accidents, marine transportation and oil extraction processes. Since nearly 60% of the world’s oil is transported to the Persian Gulf, oil pollution is inevitable. This has made the marine environment the most polluted sea in the world. Bioremediation can be defined as the removal of pollutants such as heavy metals and PAHs from solution by biological agents such as bacteria, fungi, microalgae and yeasts. Various species of bacteria have been isolated and reported by several researchers in the Persian Gulf, perhaps due to its high resistance to a wide range of petroleum hydrocarbons and heavy metals. Therefore, in this chapter, we decided to review the studies conducted in the field of isolating and identifying native bacteria and evaluating their ability to remove heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the Persian Gulf.

“…It is known that they can alter the reproductive system, cause Alzheimer’s disease, thyroid problems, obesity and/or cancer (prostate, breast or endometrium cancer), among others ( Heindel et al, 2015 ; Forte et al, 2016 , 2019 ; Braun, 2017 ; Nadal et al, 2017 ; Marotta et al, 2019 ). In natural ecosystems, the reproductive system is also affected, as well as the levels of vitellogenin and hatchability and thus feminization with the consequent threat to the preservation of biodiversity ( Vieira et al, 2020 ; Akhbarizadeh et al, 2021 ; Table 2 ).…”

The presence of emerging contaminants in the environment, such as pharmaceuticals, is a growing global concern. The excessive use of medication globally, together with the recalcitrance of pharmaceuticals in traditional wastewater treatment systems, has caused these compounds to present a severe environmental problem. In recent years, the increase in their availability, access and use of drugs has caused concentrations in water bodies to rise substantially. Considered as emerging contaminants, pharmaceuticals represent a challenge in the field of environmental remediation; therefore, alternative add-on systems for traditional wastewater treatment plants are continuously being developed to mitigate their impact and reduce their effects on the environment and human health. In this review, we describe the current status and impact of pharmaceutical compounds as emerging contaminants, focusing on their presence in water bodies, and analyzing the development of bioremediation systems, especially mycoremediation, for the removal of these pharmaceutical compounds with a special focus on fungal technologies.

“…Because of this, consuming at least two sh-based meals per week may result in a moderate health risks. 24 The EDC bioaccumulation by sh occurs not only due to their presence in biological tissue but also due to the ingestion of plastics and microplastics that also act as vectors of EDCs in aquatic ecosystems mainly by sorption processes. 25,26 Therefore, EDCs are consumed by humans causing alterations in the endocrine system that can affect the life quality of populations.…”
