“…It is an effective agent that works against all microbes and has several advantages. It does not leave any residue, can remove organic material, and does not disintegrate into harmful products such as acetic acid and reactive oxygen species (Ao et al, 2021;Block, 2001;Kahn, 1970). Although not clearly understood, it is assumed to work similarly to other oxidizing agents such as protein denaturation, disruption of cell walls permeability oxidation of sulfhydryl and sulfur bonds in enzymes, proteins, and other metabolites (Block, 2001;McDonnell and Russell, 1999).…”

The novel human coronavirus (CoV) 2019, similar to previous severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-1 outbreaks, has posed the unprecedented challenges that have shaped global action on preventive and easy to employ measures and policies, including regular disinfection. There is an indiscriminate use of antimicrobial agents, which may pose toxicity to humans, environmental hazards, and, in some cases, development antiviral drug resistance. This review comprehensively highlights the physical and chemical countermeasures applied to prevent various CoV infections and their potential toxicity on humans and the environment, as well as the danger of developing drug resistance. Literature information was sourced from PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase, MEDLINE, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases using Google Scholars and Free Full PDF as search engines. Articles written in the English language were retrieved and included in the study. Researches covering the literature on physical and chemical severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-2 preventive measures, their toxicity, and possible ways of developing drug resistance were also discussed. The literature review reveals that physical inactivation under the influence of temperature, humidity, and light, especially ultraviolet-C radiation, has proven effective in reducing the spread of CoV infections. Similarly, chemical countermeasures such as the use of alcohol-and iodine-based disinfecting agents have demonstrated inhibitory potentials of the viruses on surfaces depending on nature, dose, and exposure time. The inactivation occurs through the interference of these agents with the lipid envelope, thereby disrupting the viral activity. A vast majority of the antimicrobial agents are reported to contain corrosive chemicals that are toxic to humans, especially children, and the environment. The toxicity is due to the unhealthy accumulation and pollution caused by the inappropriate disposal of biomedical waste. This study showed that chemicals might have long-term effects on public health, such as reproductive disorders, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancers, skin damage, and central nervous system impairment. Therefore, further research on long-term preventive alternatives such as the formulation of these agents with natural products as active ingredients is necessary to mitigate the effects of alcohol-and iodine-based chemicals on humans and the environment.

“…In the last decades, the increase in population, industrial production and agricultural practices have caused a rise in the consumption and subsequent pollution of water [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. The pollutants contained in wastewater (WW) are a group of heterogeneous substances [8].…”

“…The pollutants contained in wastewater (WW) are a group of heterogeneous substances [8]. Besides pathogens, bacteria and genes resistant to antibiotics [9], the main pollutants include organic compounds such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, perfluorinated compounds, pesticides, surfactants, flame retardants, dyes and a wide variety of industrial additives and synthetic chemical compounds [5,[10][11][12][13][14]. Among these pollutants, the group of emerging contaminants (ECs) stands out due to their bioaccumulable, persistent and toxic character, along with their carcinogenic and mutagenic potential, posing a risk to human health and the environment [15][16][17][18], and constituting a concern of great interest nowadays [19].…”

“…AOPs are considered as promising and environmentally friendly oxidation technologies [30,31] that are based on the generation of powerful radicals, such as hydroxyl radicals (HO•) [26,32] and sulfate radicals (SO 4 • − ). These radicals can oxidize toxic organic components and pathogens contained in WW [5,12,33] that cannot be degraded in conventional WWTPs [6,26]. Thus, the implementation of AOPs allows for the regeneration and reuse of WW, being an alternative to reduce water stress in some regions of the world [14,34,35], particularly in those where the scarcity of this natural resource is recurrent.…”

In this work, the recent trends in the application of the sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) for the treatment of wastewater polluted with emerging contaminants (ECs) and pathogenic load were systematically studied due to the high oxidizing power ascribed to these technologies. Additionally, because of the economic benefits and the synergies presented in terms of efficiency in ECs degradation and pathogen inactivation, the combination of the referred to AOPs and conventional treatments, including biological processes, was covered. Finally, the barriers and limitations related to the implementation of SR-AOPs were described, highlighting the still scarce full-scale implementation and the high operating-costs associated, especially when solar energy cannot be used in the oxidation systems.

“…The PAA (peroxyacetic acid, CH 3 COOOH) stands out as a safe and environmental friendly disinfectant, which breaks down into harmless products such as H 2 O 2 , oxygen, water, and acetic acid (Ao et al 2021;Kim & Huang 2021). In the recent years, PAA has been attracting greater interest in wastewater treatment for disinfection and oxidation of targeting compounds (Falsanisi et al 2006;Appels et al 2011;Amerian et al 2019;Luukkonen et al 2020;Freitas et al 2021).…”

Peracetic acid (PAA) stands out as a safe and environmental-friendly oxidant and disinfectant which has been effectively used in wastewater treatment. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a very popular analysis in wastewater treatment, however the interference of residual PAA on the COD measurement is still unknown. In this context, this study investigated the implications of applying the COD analysis in PAA-based treatment. Each 1 mg·L−1 of PAA increased the COD concentration around 13.5 mg O2·L−1. Residual PAA and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were efficiently neutralized by sodium metabisulfite (SMBS) at the optimal SMBS/PAA ratio of 10.2:1 in a wide pH range (5 to 9). The effect of PAA addition in the COD concentration was evaluated in different water matrices (potassium hydrogen phthalate and wastewater solutions). The COD results with the SMBS addition at optimal SMBS/PAA ratio were lower than the ones without it. It may happen due to the neutralization of residual H2O2/PAA and the complexity of the water matrices which can interfere in the COD results. This study discussed the impact of the residual H2O2/PAA neutralization before the COD analysis and this investigation can be used as a practical guideline for the correct COD measurement in PAA-based treatment.
