Biodegradability of organic matter associated with sewer sediments during first flush.
The high pollution load in wastewater at the beginning of a rain event is commonly known to originate from the erosion of sewer sediments due to the increased flow rate under storm weather conditions. It is essential to characterize the biodegradability of organic matter during a storm event in order to quantify the effect it can have further downstream to the receiving water via discharges fro...
متن کاملVisualizing the Impact of Storm Events on the Quality of the Buffalo and Niagara Rivers (NY)
Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) negatively affect water quality in urban river and lake systems worldwide by contributing thermally enhanced waters, particulates, and various organic and inorganic contaminants. Cities that utilize CSOs must reassess aging sewer systems or minimize the impact overflows have on water quality. The Buffalo River, which drains into northeastern Lake Erie, receives c...
متن کاملTrace element carriers in combined sewer during dry and wet weather: an electron microscope investigation.
The nature of trace element carriers contained in sewage and combined sewer overflow (CSO) was investigated by TEM-EDX-Electron diffraction and SEM-EDX. During dry weather, chalcophile elements were found to accumulate in sewer sediments as early diagenetic sulfide phases. The sulfurization of some metal alloys was also evidenced. Other heavy metal carriers detected in sewage include metal allo...

Background: Oxytetracycline (OTC) is a widely-used antibiotic; metabolism studies indicate only partial assimilation of it inside the body. Traditional wastewater treatment plants cannot remove OTC, and this results in the release of considerable amounts of the drug into aquatic environments. There is much concern over the role of residual antibiotics in the development of new generations of ba...
