Recent trends in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons pollution distribution and counteracting bio-remediation strategies

Sunlight light-driven degradation of anthracene and naphthalene on robust Cu2+doped ZnO nanoparticles from simulated rainwater: optimization factors, kinetics, and reusability

“…17 Their slow natural biodegradation and recalcitrant nature make them resistant to biological and chemical degradation. 18 This has impelled serious investigation for efficient remediation strategies for PAHs. In recent years, a growing number of studies have focused on the photocatalytic removal of PAHs from water samples, primarily employing heterogeneous photocatalysis exhibiting wide-ranging responses throughout the visible light spectrum.…”

Microbes and microbial strategies in carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons remediation: a systematic review

“…On the other hand biological practices include phytoremediation, microbe-assisted phytoremediation, vermiremediation, and microbial remediation (bioaugmentation and biostimulation etc.) (Lemaire et al, 2013;Barathi et al, 2023). The principal drawbacks of the physicochemical strategies during PAHs remediation exercises are intermingled with expensive processing cost, incomplete digestion, relocation from one environment to another, complex dispensation, regulatory burden, and unwieldy in nature (Ghosal et al, 2016).…”

Carbon Dots from Tire Waste for the Photodegradation of Methyl Orange Dye, Antimicrobial Activity, and Molecular Docking Study

“…[2] Dyes, particularly, have garnered attention as organic pollutants with adverse implications for human well-being, aquatic ecosystem, and the environment. [3] Methyl orange is an azo dye often employed as an indicator in various chemical reactions, exhibits a characteristic transition from orange-red (acidic) to a yellow (basic). [4] Its widespread use in textiles, leather, and paper industries, to color materials like fabrics, paper, and plastics raises environmental concerns.…”
