Cover Story: Nonylphenols (NPs) are recognized as contaminants of emerging concern due to their ability to be readily absorbed by aquatic organisms and mimic hormones, resulting in bioaccumulation and endocrine disruption. Their widespread use in industrial and consumer products has led to frequent detection of both domestic and industrial wastewater effluents. In response to their pervasive presence in aquatic environments, various technologies have been developed to remove NPs from water, including adsorption methods. This study explores the use of activated carbon encapsulated in alginate (referred to as Alg-C beads) as an eco-friendly, sustainable, and cost-effective approach for eliminating NPs from wastewater, addressing critical environmental and public health concerns associated with these pollutants.
