Counteracting the Trojan horse effect: Dual-light-driven biochar/LaFeO3/TiO2 for synchronous ARGs-inactivation and phosphorus-adsorption

Key Points

• Synchronous inactivation of ARGs was achieved effectively, addressing the Trojan horse effect.
• Key metrics revealed over 70% reduction in ARGs in treated systems, enhancing environmental health.
• Assessment using dual-light-driven biochar with LaFeO3 and TiO2 illustrates its potential for bioremediation.
• Novel strategy could improve water treatment, highlighting the importance of ARG management in ecosystems.
