Progress in deployment of biomass-based activated carbon in point-of-use filters for removal of emerging contaminants from water: A review

Porous activated carbons derived from waste Moroccan pine cones for high-performance adsorption of bisphenol A from water

“…Thus, water contamination has become a crucial issue in several countries that do not have effective water treatment processes. ECs include endocrine disruptors, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, flame retardants, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, microplastics, viruses, etc [ 2 , 3 ]. These substances can enter source waters and affect human life and biota ecology, even at very low concentrations (μg-ng L −1 ) [ 4 ].…”
