Groundwater Contamination Concerns Groundwater serves as a primary drinking water source for billions worldwide, making its protection from anthropogenic contaminants a critical public health and environmental priority. The infiltration of pharmaceutical residues into groundwater systems represents a growing concern, as these biologically active compounds can persist and migrate through subsurface aquifers. Unlike industrial pollutants, pharmaceuticals […]

Overview of Cyanotoxin Contamination in Freshwater Systems Cyanotoxin contamination represents one of the most pressing environmental challenges in freshwater ecosystems worldwide. These potent toxins are produced by cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) during harmful algal blooms (HABs), which have become increasingly frequent due to nutrient enrichment, climate change, and other anthropogenic factors. The presence of cyanotoxins in
