WEF nexus: From cancer effects of xenobiotics to integrated sustainable technologies

Sustainable bioremediation of antibacterials, metals and pathogenic DNA in water

“…ARGs can be dispersed between sylvatic reservoirs (Arnold et al, 2016), domestic animals, cultivated vegetables, and human populations, owing to water runoff and roads. Engine fuels and industries contribute metals (Islas-Espinoza and de las Heras, 2015) which washout from the atmosphere or are transported by water. Fuel (aromatic) hydrocarbons, aromatic antibacterials and some metals seem to be resisted by the same bacterial species (Máthé et al, 2012).…”
