Sustainable Removal of Erythromycin from Wastewater Using LECA and Vetiver in Constructed Wetland Systems: Novel Approach to Antibiotic Pollution Remediation

Abstract

AbstractThe contamination of water bodies by antibiotics poses a significant environmental challenge, necessitating sustainable remediation approaches. This study investigated the effectiveness of a vertical-flow constructed wetland (VFCW) integrating ...Practical ApplicationsConstructed wetlands incorporating lightweight expanded clay aggregates and vetiver offer a sustainable and cost-effective field-scale solution for treating erythromycin-contaminated water. This system can be implemented easily in ...
