Abstract:
Recently, there has been significant attention given to the study of the biotransformation and bioeffects of artificial nanomaterials (NMs) in wastewater treatment systems (WWTSs). Specifically, the interactions between NMs and microbial aggregates in WWTSs have become a focal point of research. Building upon existing findings, this article systematically reviews the impact of microbial aggregates and their surface extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) on the fate of NMs. Furthermore, the effects of NMs on the composition and structural characteristics of EPS, as well as the community structure and functional activity of microbial aggregates are summarized. It explores the fate, transport, and biotoxicity effects of NMs in WWTSs from the aforementioned perspectives. The aim of this article is to establish a theoretical and scientific foundation for the pollution control, risk assessment and management of NMs in WWTSs.
