This company produces the following range of products: Antibiotics: (syrup & tablet) including Ciprofloxacin (broad-spectrum) Clindamycin (gram-positive) Ampicillin (broad spectrum) Anti-diarrheal product (syrup) a ...
Hotels and resorts can overcome the challenge of limited fresh water and meet their water needs with desalination and water reuse One of the biggest challenges that hotels and resorts in the Caribbean face is meeting the growing demand for a limited supply of fresh water. Keeping resorts and their guests happy - and their businesses sustainable - will require a creative effort to use water more ...
Removal of API’s, EC’s & EDC’s via Nyex Rosalox™ Technology We recently discussed the removal of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API’s) and emerging contaminants (EC’s) in the environment – see Removal of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients from Water . Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) is another category of compounds whose presence in the ...

Wastewater & COVID-19 Connections When the word wastewater crosses your mind, there is probably also a memory of your Mom’s voice telling you – wash your hands! When humans transitioned into community living, keeping your living space separate from your bathroom space was an important rule to learn. We can thank early scientists who were curious about how diseases spread and ...
Among its many applications and due to its strong oxidizing character, it stands out especially for being a compound widely used in water purification in WWTPs (wastewater treatment plants) and as a disinfectant in other applications. ...
SARS-CoV-2 detection workflow in wastewater Monitoring wastewater for SARS-CoV-2 – or Coronavirus as it is more commonly known – can be a valuable data resource for an effective COVID-19 management. However, there are several challenges involved in detecting biological parameters in wastewater. Fortunately, there are also several solutions available to overcome them. Wastewater ...
Hoffmann-La Roche has set up a new facility in Toluca, Mexico for the production of two highly effective cancer treatment drugs. The wastewater generated in this context poses an ecotoxicological risk. ...
But aren’t PPCPs removed at a wastewater treatment plant? Unfortunately, conventional sewage treatment methods cannot thoroughly remove many PPCPs. ...
Project Name Duzce Ortopedik Ozurliiler Okulu Wastewater Treatment Plant Employer Yilmaz insaat A.S. Contractor Enta Muhendislik Antma Taah. ...
Levels of triclosan within the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) ranged between 0.026 and 1.488 ppb. Triclosan concentrations were reduced by the WWTP, but small concentrations enter receiving freshwater bodies. ...
On average, there was about one ARG able to trigger resistance in each bacterial cell examined. ARGs in Wastewater A previous study found bacteria with an ARG tied to severe infections may be spreading through wastewater treatment plants in northern China. ...
After rain events in densely populated areas, combined sewer overflows (CSOs) can have severe health-related effects upon surface water quality, as well as diffuse overland runoff and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). All of these sources emit pathogens and fecal indicator bacteria into the surface water, which the EU Bathing Water ...
In many coastal watersheds and ecosystems, rivers discharging to estuaries receive waters from domestic wastewater treatment plants resulting in the release and distribution of pharmaceuticals to the marine environment. ...
After excretion, they can enter the environment via wastewater. As a result, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs, the elements of drugs that are responsible for their medicinal effects) have been found in receiving environments across the globe, where they may have toxic effects on aquatic life. ...
In the present study, bioaccumulation of select pharmaceuticals and other contaminants of emerging concern was examined in fish from Buffalo Bayou, a tidally influenced urban ecosystem that receives effluent from a major (∼200 million gallons per day) municipal wastewater treatment plant in Houston, Texas, USA. Using isotope dilution liquid ...
Abstract This study describes the development of a bioassay to detect the presence of progesterone and progesterone-like molecules in wastewater samples. The basis of the bioassay is the integration of the human progesterone receptor gene into the yeast Arxula adeninivorans for the constitutive synthesis of the receptor. ...
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are emerging contaminants that have been found ubiquitously in wastewater and surface waters around the world. A major source of these compounds is incomplete metabolism in humans and subsequent excretion in human waste, resulting in discharge into surface waters by wastewater treatment ...
The environment is likely to play an important role in dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) among both environmental and pathogenic bacteria. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) accumulate both chemical and biological waste from the surrounding urban milieu and have therefore been viewed as potential hotspots for dissemination and ...
Changes in the endocrine potency of municipal wastewater at 3 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Australia were investigated using a panel of in vitro receptor‐driven transactivation assays. ...
These data are among the first measurements of PPCPs and PFASs in marine sediments from the Pacific Northwest and provide a comparison to previous measurements of these chemicals in influent, effluent, and biosolids from municipal wastewater treatment plants throughout the region. The concentrations of both PPCPs and PFASs in sediments from Puget ...
