Alternanthera spp. based-phytoremediation for the removal of acetaminophen and methylparaben at mesocosm-scale constructed wetlands
Recently, the spread of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the aquatic environment has steadily increased. In this study, phytoremediation technology, using an ornamental plant (Alternanthera spp.), was investigated to improve the removal of acetaminophen (AC) and methylparaben (M...
