Get PDFA critical review on the existing wastewater treatment methods in the COVID-19 era: What is the potential of advanced oxidation processes in combatting viral especially SARS-CoV-2?
Get PDFThe COVID-19 epidemic has put the risk of virus contamination in water bodies on the horizon of health authorities.
Hence, finding effective ways to remove the virus, especially SARS-CoV-2, from wastewater treatment
plants (WWTPs) has emerged as a hot issue in the last few years. Herein, this study first deals with the fate of
SARS-CoV-2 genetic material in WWTPs, then critically reviews and compares different wastewater treatment
methods for combatting COVID-19 as well as to increase the water quality. This critical review sheds light the
efficiency of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to inactivate virus, specially SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Although
several physicochemical treatment processes (e.g. activated sludge) are commonly used to eliminate pathogens,
AOPs are the most versatile and effective virus inactivation methods. For instance, TiO2 is the most known and
widely studied photo-catalyst innocuously utilized to degrade pollutants as well as to photo-induce bacterial and
virus disinfection due to its high chemical resistance and efficient photo-activity. When ozone is dissolved in
water and wastewater, it generates a wide spectrum of the reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are responsible
to degrade materials in virus membranes resulting in destroying the cell wall. Furthermore, electrochemical
advanced oxidation processes act through direct oxidation when pathogens react at the anode surface or by
indirect oxidation through oxidizing species produced in the bulk solution. Consequently, they represent a
feasible choice for the inactivation of a wide range of pathogens. Nonetheless, there are some challenges with
AOPs which should be addressed for application at industrial-scale
A State-of-the-Art Review on SARS-CoV-2 Virus Removal Using DifferentWastewater Treatment Strategies
Get PDFIn addition to the numerous health effects caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the scientific
community has considered other emerging effects such as water-related impacts worthy of deep
investigation. In this regard, the transmission cycles of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from fecal, vomiting,
and sputum routes to sewage have led health authorities to diagnose, prevent, and use novel
wastewater treatment technologies. Once they enter the gastrointestinal canal of a healthy person,
viral particles can infect via the nominal amount of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) present
in alimentary canal epithelial cell surfaces and further infect lung, heart, kidney, and other organs.
The current review highlights the detection, status, and fate of SARS-CoV-2 from sewage treatment
facilities to water bodies. Besides, it addresses the potential wastewater treatment processes to cope
with various viruses, especially SARS-CoV-2. Many processes can manage contaminated wastewater
and solid wastes over the long term, including membrane technologies, disinfectants, UV-light and
advanced oxidation methods like photocatalysis, ozonation, hydrogen peroxide, nanomaterials,
and algae. Future work must focus on implementing the selected actions for the treatment of the
wastewater released from the COVID-19 hospitals and self-quarantine centers to better regulate
future waves of SARS-CoV-2
Assessing Mediating Role of Financial Satisfaction in the Relationship of Financial Literacy With Quality of Life in Retired Older Adults
Get PDFObjectives The world’s population is rapidly aging; hence, paying attention to the quality of life (QoL)
of the elderly is of great importance. Financial satisfaction is one of the important components of QoL.
The present study aims to determine the association between financial literacy and QoL among retired
older adults mediated by their financial satisfaction.
Methods & Materials This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in 2020 on 270 retired
older adults in Qazvin, Iran. The samples were selected through stratified random sampling method from
8 retirement centers in Qazvin, Iran. The data were collected using demographic checklist, the control,
autonomy, self-realization, and pleasure (CASP) scale, financial literacy scale, and financial satisfaction
scale. Structural equation modeling was used to determine the mediating role of financial satisfaction in
the relationship of financial literacy with the QoL.
Results The mean age of older adults was 65.17±4.57 years. The majority of them were male (n=166,
61.85%) and married (n=245, 90.7%). Their Mean score of financial literacy and financial satisfaction
were 51.60 and 35.11 out of 100, respectively. Their quality of life was at a moderate level (Mean= 63.89
out of 100). The results of the regression analysis showed the significant association of financial literacy
(P=0.006, β=-0.17) and financial satisfaction (β=0.25, P<0.001) with the quality of life. The results also
confirmed the mediating role of financial satisfaction (P=0.014).
Conclusion Financial literacy of the elderly has a significant and positive association with their quality of
life mediated by financial satisfaction. Therefore, policymakers in Iran are recommended to develop preretirement
financial education programs for improving the financial literacy of the elderly
