Article Synopsis
- Wastewater treatment plants are significant sources of microplastics in the environment, prompting research into more effective treatment methods.
- This study evaluated a novel living membrane bioreactor (LMBR) and its electrochemically enhanced version (e-LMBR), which showed similar effectiveness in removing polyethylene microplastics compared to conventional methods, but with slight differences due to electrochemical processes.
- The e-LMBR maintained high contaminant removal efficiencies, including organic matter and nutrients, and demonstrated lower fouling rates despite increased microplastic concentrations in the treatment system.
Diarrhea caused by gut motility involves 5-HT serotonin receptor (5-HTR) antagonist, M3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (M-AchR), and H histamine receptor (HR) via their respective agonist. Papaya ( L.) leaf is an herbal medicine to treat diarrhea in Indonesia, though this has not yet been proven scientifically.

Integrating electrochemical processes with wastewater treatment using the LM approach has also been recently studied (the reactor is referred to as the Electro-Living Membrane Bioreactor or e-LMBR). This study investigated the effects of varying current densities, i.

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is a powerful tool that has the potential to reveal the extent of an ongoing disease outbreak or to predict an emerging one. Recent studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 concentration in wastewater may be correlated with the number of COVID-19 cases in the corresponding population. Most of the recent studies and applications of wastewater-based surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 applied the "gold standard" real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) detection method.
