          Abstract

          ABSTRACT We evaluated the variation in microbial populations and the behavior of an SBR system in the removal of methylparaben (MePB). The experimentation was carried out for 14 weeks, in three operational stages as follows: stabilization (Stage I), (Stage II = 300 μgMePB/L and Stage III = 600 μgMePB/L). The variation of the microorganisms was analyzed over the experimentation time along with the contact with the pollutant to be degraded, and the removal percentage of COD and MePB, with results of 88±5,5% and 92±7,7% respectively. Kinetic of MePB removal was evaluated to obtain the rate constant of biological degradation, Kbiol. Using these kinetic results, the effect of different concentrations of MePB and biomass on biodegradation behavior was evaluated. Kbiol (LgSS-1d-1) values were obtained of 42.8 and 79 respectively; and 472±38.0 µgMePB/L, at biomass contents of 1466.7 and 2666.7 mgSSV/L, where Kbiol (LgSS-1d-1) values were obtained of 11.0 and 32.6 respectively. The variation of the microbial populations were analyzed using DGGE. The results obtained indicated that the populations presented similar characteristics between the stages. However, for the biomass samples of Stage I and stage III, significant differences were identified in the composition of microbial populations. Nonetheless, this did not affect the removal of MePB and the diversity conditions that characterize an aerobic system.

          RESUMEN Se evaluó la variación en las poblaciones microbianas y el comportamiento de un sistema SBR en la eliminación de metilparabeno (MePB). La experimentación se llevó a cabo en tres etapas: (Etapa I: aclimatacion), (Etapa II = 300 μgMePB / L y Etapa III = 600 μgMePB / L). La variación de los microorganismos se analizó durante el tiempo de experimentación junto con el contacto con MePB y el porcentaje de eliminación de DQO, con resultados de 88 ± 5,5% y 92 ± 7,7% respectivamente. Se evaluó la eliminación cinética de MePB para obtener la constante de velocidad de degradación biológica, Kbiol. Usando estos resultados cinéticos, se evaluó el efecto de diferentes concentraciones de MePB y biomasa en el comportamiento de la biodegradación. Se obtuvieron valores de Kbiol (LgSS-1d-1) de 42.8 y 79 respectivamente; y 472 ± 38.0 µgMePB / L, a contenidos de biomasa de 1466.7 y 2666.7 mgSSV / L, donde se obtuvieron valores de Kbiol (LgSS-1d-1) de 11.0 y 32.6 respectivamente. La variación de las poblaciones microbianas se analizó utilizando DGGE. Los resultados indicaron que las poblaciones presentaron características similares entre las etapas, pero para las muestras de biomasa de Etapa I y Etapa III, se identificaron diferencias significativas en la composición de las poblaciones microbianas. No obstante, esto no afectó la eliminación de MePB y las condiciones de diversidad que caracterizan a un sistema aeróbico.

          Parabens. From environmental studies to human health.

          Parabens are a group of substances commonly employed as preservatives, mainly in personal care products, pharmaceuticals and food. Scientific reports concerning their endocrine disrupting potential and the possible link with breast cancer raised wide discussion about parabens' impact and safety. This paper provides holistic overview of paraben usage, occurrence in the environment, methods of their degradation and removal from aqueous solution, as well as hazards related to their endocrine disrupting potential and possible involvement in carcinogenesis.

            Occurrence and removal of transformation products of PPCPs and illicit drugs in wastewaters: a review.

            Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) along with illicit drugs (IDs) are newly recognized classes of environmental pollutants and are receiving considerable attention because of their environmental impacts: frequent occurrence, persistence and risk to aquatic life and humans. However, relatively little information is often available with regard to their possible biotic and abiotic transformation products (TPs). This lack of knowledge has resulted in a substantial amount of ongoing effort to develop methods and approaches that would assess their occurrence, degradability potential elimination mechanisms and efficiencies in sewage treatment plants as well as environmental and human health risks. In this article, an extensive literature survey was performed in order to present the current stage of knowledge and progress made in the occurrence of TPs of PPCPs and IDs in raw and treated wastewaters. Apart from the TPs resulting from structural transformations of the parent compound in the aquatic environment or in technological treatment facilities (e.g. sewage and drinking water treatment plants), free metabolites and drug conjugates formed during human metabolism have also been included in this review as they are also released into the aquatic environment through wastewaters. Their concentration levels were reported in influents and effluents of WWTPs, hospital effluents and their removals in the treatment plants were discussed. Finally, information on the toxicity of TPs has been compiled when available.
