Toxicity of Biosolid Elutriates from Different Wastewater Treatment Processes to Ceriodaphnia Dubia
Biosolids from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have a high content of nutrients and organic matter and are used as a land fertilizer constituent. However, biosolids can contain many toxic chemicals, including heavy metals and synthetic organic chemicals. Thus, land application of biosolids may introduce these toxicants to water resources through runoff or soil leachate. The objective of thi...
متن کاملSurvey of organic wastewater contaminants in biosolids destined for land application.
In this study, the presence, composition, and concentrations of organic wastewater contaminants (OWCs) were determined in solid materials produced during wastewater treatment. This study was undertaken to evaluate the potential of these solids, collectively referred to as biosolids, as a source of OWCs to soil and water in contact with soil. Nine different biosolid products, produced by municip...
متن کاملChanges in estrogenic and androgenic activities at different stages of treatment in wastewater treatment works.
Estrogenic and androgenic activities of wastewater were determined during treatment in five wastewater treatment works (WWTWs) in the Untied Kingdom. With one exception, both estrogenic and androgenic activities decreased markedly as wastewater progressed through the plants; removal rates were generally 70% or higher, sometimes reaching 100%. Most of the reduction in activity occurred during se...
متن کاملDeleterious effects of estrogenic endocrine disruptors on marine organisms: Histological Observed Effects and Some Novel Useful Monitoring Bioassays
Aquatic environments receive significant levels of chemical contaminants generated by human activities. Among these pollutants, we noticed the xenobiotics known as reproductive toxicants and endocrine disruptors. The endocrine disruption in wildlife has been the subject of many reviews and workshops in recent years. Field observations of reproductively abnormal organisms and population declines...
متن کاملHepatitis E virus genotype 3 and sporadically also genotype 1 circulate in the population of Catalonia, Spain.
Autochthonous hepatitis E virus (HEV) strains have been described infecting populations of industrialized countries, previously considered as non-endemic areas. The HEV strains circulating in one of those areas in south-western Europe (Barcelona, Spain) have been studied by analysing amplicons obtained from HEV genomes identified in wastewater, biosolids and sludge. Six sewage and two biosolid ...
