Wastewater Treatment Challenges and Circular Reuse for One Health Sustainability: A Review.
Review in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Wastewater is a complex and dynamic issue, particularly at the human-animal-environment interface, bearing biological and chemical hazards that may serve as a resource for transmission pathways for pathogens, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants, heavy metals, pharmaceutical residues, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and microplastics. Rising global health issues necessitate effective wastewater treatment and advanced research to support risk-informed circular management within a one health framework, incorporating wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE), multi-omics approaches, nanobiotechnology, and green technologies. Inadequate wastewater treatment and uncontrolled discharge result in the generation of more than 380 billion cubic meters of wastewater annually worldwide, contributing to ecological degradation, the spread of AMR, and long-term toxicological risks. Despite significant advances in wastewater treatment, several challenges remain, including complex contaminant mixtures, limited detection and monitoring technologies, variable treatment efficiency, and weak regulatory and governance frameworks. This review highlights key wastewater treatment issues and presents recent advances in WBE and multi-omics approaches, such as metagenomics, resistome profiling, virome analysis, and chemical fingerprinting for contaminant monitoring and public health risk assessment. This review also examines circular reuse strategies focused on water reclamation, nutrient recovery, bioenergy production, and resource recovery, with particular emphasis on nature-based systems, hybrid biological-physicochemical treatment platforms, and green nanobiotechnology as promising approaches to improve treatment performance while minimizing environmental impacts. In conclusion, this review highlights the importance of integrated and sustainable wastewater management approaches within the One Health framework to address emerging challenges and promote environmental resilience, public health protection, and circular resource recovery.
