Article Synopsis
- - The growing emphasis on wastewater treatment is largely due to the environmental and health risks posed by hard-to-treat pharmaceutical compounds, which traditional methods often fail to eliminate.
- - The electro-Fenton (EF) method, a new advanced oxidation process combining electrochemistry with traditional Fenton chemistry, has emerged as a promising solution for effectively breaking down these persistent contaminants in wastewater.
- - The review highlights key factors affecting the efficiency of the EF process, such as pH and current density, and discusses its scalability and commercialization potential, while also addressing ongoing challenges in wastewater treatment.
The increase of microplastic contamination in Vietnam is a growing concern due to various domestic, agricultural, and industrial activities. The use of plastic mulch and sludge application in agricultural farmland, textile production, daily consumer items, cleaning agents, and health/personal care products contribute significantly to the increasing microplastic pollution in the aquatic ecosystem. The concentration of microplastics reported in surface water ranged from 0.

Recent data on microplastic (MP) pollution from compost and its application to soil have highlighted the potential impact of micropollutants that may be transferred from compost. Thus, we aim with this review to elucidate the distribution-occurrence, characterization, fate/transport, and potential risk of MPs from organic compost to gain comprehensive knowledge and mitigate the adverse impacts of compost application.
