A persistent problem: identifying and confronting persistent, mobile and toxic (PMT) substances

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Keynote presentation on the for EcotoxicoMic 2024, the 4th International Conference in Microbial Ecotoxicology (https://ecotoxicomic24.sciencesconf.org/). Background to PMT substances are presented, and avenues for environmental microbiologists to deal with this emerging issue, including: - Work with innovators towards testing/identifying biodegradable alternatives- Identify persistent (and toxic) transformation products from microbial degradation- Develop high throughput methods for persistency screening/half-life measurement. Microbiological toxicity testing for PNECs (and biomolecular incorporation for TFA)- Optimize (An)aerobic transformation processes in bioreactors
