This review aims to examine DBP formation during electrochemical disinfection. The effects of electrochemically generated reactive species and water matrices are analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Different DBP formation mechanisms/pathways between electrochemical and conventional chemical disinfection are discussed. The electrode materials play a critical role in the generation of different types of reactive species. The presence of bromide, ammonia, and carbonates can affect both the concentration and composition of DBPs by transforming reactive chlorine species into other species such as bromine radicals, chloramines, and carbonate radicals. Potential strategies for DBP control are proposed, including the reduction of DBP formation via pre-treatment process, electrode design and optimizing reactor operation, and post-treatment to remove the formed DBPs.

Wastewater treatment is a critical process for building a water-resilient economy, ensuring pollutant removal before environmental discharge. Conventional treatment methods, though effective, are energy-intensive, reliant on chemical processes, and generate large volumes of sludge, posing economic and environmental challenges. In recent years, microalgae-based wastewater treatment has emerged as a promising alternative due to its potential for efficient nutrient removal, biomass valorization, and carbon sequestration. However, despite its advantages, large-scale implementation remains constrained by operational costs, biomass harvesting inefficiencies, and variable treatment performance. Recent advancements in techno-economic assessments, bioprocess optimization, and multiomics approaches have improved system efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and bioproduct recovery. This study reviews the latest developments, opportunities, and challenges in microalgal wastewater treatment, providing insights into its feasibility and future prospects. A comprehensive understanding of emerging technologies and integrated system approaches will be crucial in advancing microalgal-based solutions for sustainable wastewater management.

Within the One Health framework, constructed wetlands (CWs) are increasingly recognized as sustainable systems for mitigating antibiotic resistance (AR). However, their effectiveness in reducing—or potentially contributing to—the dissemination of AR remains debated. This review analyzes recent literature (2024–2025) to clarify the capacity of CWs in AR control. Bibliometric analysis indicates that current research mainly focuses on (1) novel substrates such as biochar, (2) integration with innovative technologies such as microbial fuel cells (MFCs), and (3) characterization of resistant microbial communities. Reported performances of CWs with biochar or coupled with MFCs show antibiotic removal efficiencies of 41–99 % and AR genes (ARGs) reductions of 0.5–1.0 log units. These results evidence that CWs are capable of decreasing ARGs and antibiotics rates from wastewater. However, more research is needed for improving performance and for scaling laboratories prototypes to real-scale CWs. Focusing on ARGs’ occurrence, they are frequently detected in CW substrates and effluents, with abundances up to 104 copies/mL and 10−2 copies/16S rDNA gene copy, respectively. Microbial community studies further suggest ARGs mobilization within CWs—from influent to substrates and plants—and their potential release into surrounding environments. Overall, CWs appear to function as “AR buffer systems”: reducing ARGs levels in liquid streams while facilitating their accumulation in substrates. This reservoir may pose environmental risks, particularly through the reuse of CW biomass in agriculture. Therefore, future research should prioritize risk assessment of CW substrates as potential vectors of AR dissemination.

Intrinsic disinfection byproducts are formed by reactions between disinfectant species and/or their decomposition products. In this review, we focus on a subset that accumulates in free chlorine and chloramine drinking water systems. First, we review the sequential formation of chlorite, chlorate, and perchlorate in hypochlorite feedstocks. Model simulations indicate chlorate and perchlorate can accumulate under realistic dosing conditions and can be managed with less concentrated feedstocks and climate-controlled storage. Second, we review the formation pathways of dichloramine and chloronitramide anion. Chloronitramide anion accumulation may be mitigated by increasing monochloramine stability and quenching reactive nitrogen species in its formation pathway.

Wildfires increasingly degrade source-water quality, yet the reactivity of fire-altered dissolved organic carbon (DOC) toward trihalomethane (THM) formation remains unclear. This mini-review synthesizes 14 paired pre/post-fire datasets under a carbon-normalized framework (THM-specific formation potential, THM-SFP). (i) Occurrence: most studies show lower THM-SFP after fire from loss of oxygen-rich moieties. (ii) Severity: moderate burning can produce phenolic/carbonyl fragments, elevating THM-SFP, whereas high severity suppresses it. (iii) Rainfall: first flushes raise DOC and bulk THMs, while THM-SFP responses are mixed. Cross-study interpretation remains constrained by methodological heterogeneity and limited data. Findings support severity-stratified, time-resolved monitoring for post-fire water management.

Peracetic acid (PAA), an organic compound with the formula CH3CO3H, and a sterilant and disinfectant, has emerged as a promising alternative to free chlorine for achieving high-level disinfection in combined sewer overflow, wastewater, and stormwater. However, a major concern with any water disinfectant is its potential to react with natural organic matter or other constituents, leading to the unintentional formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs). This review examines DBP formation during PAA disinfection and PAA-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), with an emphasis on studies published within the past five years. It summarizes the influence of halides, nitrite, and various AOP operational conditions on DBP formation. Additionally, it explores the mechanisms of DBP formation in the presence of halides during PAA disinfection, highlighting key intermediates involved in the reactions. The insights provided in this review offer valuable guidance for minimizing DBP formation in further applications of PAA in water treatment.

Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are ubiquitous contaminants in drinking water that are formed through reactions between disinfectants and natural or anthropogenic precursors. While regulatory and research efforts have historically focused on 1–2 carbon DBPs, these compounds account for only a fraction of the total organic halogen and measured toxicity in finished drinking water. Recent research has shifted attention to higher-carbon DBPs with >2-carbon atoms (>C2 DBPs). We summarize recent advancements in the discovery, occurrence, and formation mechanisms of >C2 DBPs and highlight the need to integrate >C2 DBPs into toxicity frameworks to better assess their contribution to the overall toxicity of disinfected waters.

Pesticides widely used in agriculture and households pose environmental risks due to their persistence, toxicity, and bioaccumulative nature. Constructed wetlands (CWs) have emerged as a sustainable solution for removing pesticides from agricultural runoff and wastewater. Their performance depends on factors like plant species, substrate, wastewater composition, climate, and retention time. Key challenges include seasonal performance variability, substrate clogging, and pesticide accumulation in sediments. Full-scale studies show removal rates from 38% to over 99%, influenced by pH, temperature, vegetation, microbial activity, and retention time. Emerging strategies, such as solar photocatalytic oxidation and real-time monitoring, offer promising enhancements to CW functionality, supporting sustainable and environmentally friendly water treatment solutions.

Whilst ecology has served as a foundational inspiration for risk assessment in ecotoxicology, far less attention has been given to evolution, despite its importance. As the need for a new paradigm in ecotoxicology is becoming increasingly evident in the face of Global change, the consideration of evolutionary processes and patterns should provide a way to progress towards this objective. This review draws on the recent literature to support this idea, with a particular attention to the interplay between evolutionary rates. In doing so, we recast ecotoxicology as an innovative, exciting discipline, conceptually equipped to meet the challenges of the Anthropocene era.
