Designing of peroxidases-based biocatalytic system for a bio-mitigation of emerging contaminants
An alarming number of various types of organic pollutants, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyes, heavy metals, and personal care products are increasingly being detected in our water systems due to natural or anthropogenic activities. These “pollutants of emerging concern” arise from domestic as well as industrial discharge, but unfortunately, most of the pollutants are not removed during the present-day wastewater treatment plants. The presence of all these contaminants in industrial wastewater undesirably compromise the quality of water and manifests a serious menace to human beings and aquatic organisms. This issue is inescapably increased because of the lack of efficient technologies for the proper disposal, management, and recycling of waste….
