Marine toxins in environment: Recent updates on depuration techniques

Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2024 Oct 1:284:116990. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116990. Epub 2024 Sep 4.

Abstract

Marine toxins pose a significant safety risk, leading to human intoxications and causing substantial economic losses in seafood-producing regions. The development of rapid, cost-effective, efficient, and reliable approaches for the containment of these substances is therefore crucial in order to mitigate the adverse impact of marine toxins. This research conducted a comprehensive review on the toxicity and influencing factors of marine toxins production. Additionally, depuration technologies, including adsorption, advanced oxidation processes, biodegradation, heating treatment, temporary maintenance and purification, and drug inhibition, were systematically summarized. The study also provided a comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of various depuration technologies and proposed strategies for future development.

Keywords: Adsorption; Advanced oxidation processes; Depuration; Marine toxins; Seafood.
