Systematic Review of Toxicity Removal by Advanced Wastewater Treatment Technologies via Ozonation and Activated Carbon

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 53(13), P. 7215 - 7233

Published: May 23, 2019

Upgrading wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) with advanced technologies is one key strategy to reduce micropollutant emissions. Given the complex chemical composition of wastewater, toxicity removal an integral parameter assess performance WWTPs. Thus, goal this systematic review evaluate how effectively ozonation and activated carbon remove in vitro vivo toxicity. Out 2464 publications, we extracted 46 relevant studies conducted at 22 pilot or full-scale We performed a quantitative qualitative evaluation (100 assays) data (20 species), respectively. Data more abundant on (573 points) than (162 points), certain end points (especially estrogenicity) models (e.g., daphnids) dominate. The literature shows that while conventional reduces toxicity, residual effects effluents may represent risk receiving ecosystem basis effect-based trigger values. In general, upgrade will significantly increase similar performance. Nevertheless, generates toxic transformation products can be removed by post-treatment. By assessing growing body studies, identify sensitive underrepresented species provide guidance for future research.

Stream microbial communities and ecosystem functioning show complex responses to multiple stressors in wastewater

Global Change Biology, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 26(11), P. 6363 - 6382

Multiple anthropogenic drivers are changing ecosystems globally, with a disproportionate and intensifying impact on freshwater habitats. A major of urbanization inputs from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Initially designed to reduce eutrophication improve water quality, WWTPs increasingly release multitude micropollutants (MPs; i.e., synthetic chemicals) microbes (including antibiotic-resistant bacteria) receiving environments. This pollution may have pervasive impacts biodiversity ecosystem services. Viewed through multiple lenses macroecological ecotoxicological theory, we combined field, flume, laboratory experiments determine the effects (WW) microbial communities organic-matter processing using standardized decomposition assay. First, conducted mensurative experiment sampling 60 locations above below WWTP discharges in 20 Swiss streams. Microbial respiration rates were positively influenced by WW via warming nutrient enrichment, but notable exception: decreased activation energy decomposition, indicating "slowing" this fundamental process response temperature. Second, next-generation sequencing indicated that community structure was altered, significant compositional turnover, reduced richness, evidence negative MP influences. Third, series flume confirmed although diluted generally has positive influences microbial-mediated processes, MPs "masked" enrichment. Finally, transplant suggested WW-borne enhance rates. Taken together, our results affirm stressor paradigm showing different aspects (warming, nutrients, microbes, MPs) jointly influence functioning complex ways. Increased potentially generate "disservices" greater carbon evasion streams rivers. However, toxic fundamentally alter ecological scaling relationships, need for rapprochement between perspectives.
