Heavy metals assessment of hospital wastewater during COVID-19 pandemic

Hospital wastewater contains heavy metals that threaten environmental and human health through bioaccumulation biomagnification. Each metal contributes a different impact on the environment. Monitoring in is essential to prevent those severe impacts. However, it still rare for study assess obtained from discharge of hospital Indonesia. Therefore, this investigated 14 parameters wastewater. We tested quality September 2021 February 2022, with SNI 6989-59-2008 sampling methods parameters. Results show over are below threshold value other previous studies. It might be because biological treatment used plant (HWWTP) reduces these micropollutants efficiently. The fluidized bed biofilm reactor (FBBR) system an aerobic process microorganisms attached bio-green. This technique form suspensions solid particles sparse media gas streams chemical or physical processes. sewage reveals occurrence wastewater, even though does not reveal high concentration due effectiveness FBBR HWWTP.
