Toxicity characteristics of sewage treatment effluents and potential contribution of micropollutant residuals

Background: A typical sewage treatment plant is designed for organic and nutrient removal from municipal sewage water and not targeted to eliminate micropollutants such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and nano-sized metals which become a big concern for sustainable human and ecological system and are mainly discharged from sewage treatment plant. Therefore, despite contaminant removal by wastew...

Treatment of biosorption and ozonation on elimination of the day pollution in treated water

Textile wastewater is characterized by strong color, saturation of unfixed dyes and their residues, and organic and inorganic chemicals, such as bleaches, detergents, optical brighteners, fixing, sequestering and finishing agents, carriers, surfactants, equalizers, It is characterized by consumption of high amount of water and production of large volumes of wastewater from various processes, su...

Health Effects in Fish of Long-Term Exposure to Effluents from Wastewater Treatment Works

Concern has been raised in recent years that exposure to wastewater treatment effluents containing estrogenic chemicals can disrupt the endocrine functioning of riverine fish and cause permanent alterations in the structure and function of the reproductive system. Reproductive disorders may not necessarily arise as a result of estrogenic effects alone, and there is a need for a better understan...

The Use of Astacus leptodactylus (Eschscholtz, 1823) as a Test Species for Toxicity Evaluation of Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant Effluents

This study evaluated the responses of biochemical biomarkers in Astacus leptodactylus exposed to treated municipal effluents discharged into Keban Dam Lake, Elazığ Elazig, Turkey. A. leptodatyclus were exposed to treated municipal effluents and Catalase (CAT), Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and lipid peroxidation (TBARS), glutathione (GSH) levels were measured as oxidativ...
