Article Abstract

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) forms the high harmfulness and causing negative health impacts to well-being human and environment that found to be major drastic concern. It is subsequently important to keep in track for monitoring of SMX through convenient detecting devices which include the requirement of being minimal expense and potential for on location environmental applications. Nanomaterials based design has been proposed to determine the SMX antibiotic which in turn provides the solution for this issue. In spite of the critical advancement accomplished in research, further endeavors are yet to foster the progress on electrochemical sensors with the guide of various functional nanomaterials and guarantee the effective transportability for such sensors with improved coherence. Moreover, it has been noticed that, only few reports on electrochemical sensing of SMX detection using nanomaterials was observed. Hence an in-depth evaluation of electrochemical sensing systems using various nanomaterials for SMX detection was summarized in this review. Additionally this current review centers with brief presentation around SMX hazard evaluation followed by study on the current logical techniques to feature the importance for SMX detection. This review will provide the sum up view towards the future ideas of this field which assists in improving the detecting strategies for SMX detection.

Vegetated biofiltration system (VBS) is an effective green technology for urban stormwater and greywater treatment. However, VBS is yet to be optimised for effective treatment of wastewater, particularly if it contains trace organic chemicals (TrOCs). The effect of plant species has not been addressed under TrOC wastewater loading.

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and its human metabolite N-acetylsulfamethoxazole (N-SMX) are frequently detected in aquatic environments, posing potential threats to freshwater ecosystem health. Constructed wetlands are pivotal for wastewater treatment, with plant species serving as key determinants of pollutant removal efficiency. In this study, wetlands dominated by three submerged plants (Myriophyllum verticillatum, Vallisneria spiralis, Hydrilla verticillata) were respectively constructed to investigate the removal of SMX and N-SMX, and the impact on wetland ecology regarding plant tolerance, microbial response, and nitrogen transformation.
