The treatment of wastewater has become increasingly challenging as a result of its growing complexity. To achieve synergistic removal of coexisting pollutants in wastewater, one promising approach involves the integration of electric fields. We conducted a comprehensive literature review to explore the potential of integrating electric fields and developing efficient electro-intensified simultaneous decontamination systems for wastewater containing coexisting pollutants. The review focused on comprehending the applications and mechanisms of these systems, with a particular emphasis on the deliberate utilization of positive and negative charges. After analyzing the advantages, disadvantages, and application efficacy of these systems, we observed electro-intensified systems exhibit flexible potential through their rational combination, allowing for an expanded range of applications in addressing simultaneous decontamination challenges. Unlike the reviews focusing on single elimination, this work aims to provide guidance in addressing the environmental problems resulting from the coexistence of hazardous contaminants.

Phenylarsonic acid (PAA) compounds, widely used in animal husbandry, pose a considerable environmental threat owing to their potential transformation into toxic inorganic arsenic species. To efficiently decontaminate PAA and adsorb secondary As(V), a hybrid CuFeO-modified carbon nanotube (CuFeO-CNT) filter was developed in this study. The hybrid CuFeO-CNT filter functioned as an effective catalyst, convective filtration medium, electrode, and adsorbent.

Contamination of water bodies is a significant global issue that results from the deliberate release of pollutants into the environment, especially from mining and metal processing industries. The main pollutants generated by these industries are metallic wastes, particularly metals, which can cause adverse effects on the environment and human health. Therefore, it is crucial to develop effective and sustainable approaches to prevent their discharge into the environment.

This study explores the potential application of solar photochemical processes (SPPs) for simultaneous disinfection and decontamination of urban wastewater (UWW) when combined with constructed wetlands (CWs). Two SPPs based on the addition of low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) were evaluated. SPPs were carried out at pilot plant scale using low-cost solar open photoreactors (Raceway Pond Reactor (RPR)) under natural sunlight.

This study presents the development and validation of a drug testing method in hair, employing a semi-automated sample preparation procedure and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) for simultaneous multidrug analysis in hair. The method aims to detect and quantify multiple drugs in hair, including amphetamine, methamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, ketamine, norketamine, cocaine, benzoylecgonine, morphine, codeine and 6-monoacetylmorphine, using a comprehensive procedure involving decontamination, pulverization, clean-up using supported-liquid extraction (SLE) and a two-step derivatization process. The method validation included specificity, linearity, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), precision, accuracy, carryover, robustness and stability.

Climate change has introduced new challenges to food safety by altering the occurrence and distribution of fungi leading to increased mycotoxin contamination in crops. Among these mycotoxins, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) stands out as a potent carcinogen, posing significant health risks to consumers. Methods for AFB1 decontamination have been intensively investigated and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have gained increasing interest for their potential in AFB1 detoxification.
