Challenges and Recent Advances in Enzyme-Mediated Wastewater Remediation—A Review

Different classes of artificial pollutants, collectively called emerging pollutants, are detected in various water bodies, including lakes, rivers, and seas. Multiple studies have shown the devastating effects these emerging pollutants can have on human and aquatic life. The main reason for these em...
