Screening of organic pollutants in urban wastewater treatment plants and corresponding receiving waters
There is a lack of knowledge in environmental pollution of the anthropogenic contaminants in wastewater and surface water. Several organic compounds merit special attention, because of their potential risk to the aquatic environment. Therefore, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry-based screening analyses were performed in order to identify anthropogenic organic contaminants and to reveal ...

Potential health implications of water resources depletion and sewage discharges in the Republic of Macedonia
Potential health implications of deficient sanitation infrastructure and reduced surface water flows due to climate change are examined in the case study of the Republic of Macedonia. Changes in surface water flows and wastewater discharges over the period 1955–2013 were analyzed to assess potential future surface water contamination trends. Simple model predictions indicated a decline in ...

Microbial reporter gene assay as a diagnostic and early warning tool for the detection and characterization of toxic pollution in surface waters
Surface water samples constantly receive a vast mixture of micropollutants mainly originating from waste water treatment plants (WWTPs). High throughput live cell arrays provide a promising method for the characterization of the effects of chemicals and the associated molecular mechanisms. In the present study this test system was evaluated for the first time for the characterization of a set ...

Bioavailability of pharmaceuticals in waters close to wastewater treatment plants: Use of fish bile for exposure assessment
Pharmaceuticals are ubiquitous in surface waters as a consequence of discharges from municipal wastewater treatment plants. However, few studies have assessed the bioavailability of pharmaceuticals to fish in natural waters. In the present study, passive samplers and rainbow trout were experimentally deployed next to three municipal wastewater treatment plants in Finland to evaluate the degree of ...

Probabilistic analysis of risks to U.S. drinking water intakes from 1,4‐dioxane in domestic wastewater treatment plant effluents
The risks of 1,4‐dioxane (dioxane) concentrations in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents, receiving primarily domestic wastewater, to downstream drinking water intakes was estimated using distributions of measured dioxane concentrations in effluents from 40 WWTPs and surface water dilution factors of 1,323 drinking water intakes across the U.S. Effluent samples were spiked with an ...

Scientists study DNA in wastewater to protect public health
An interdisciplinary team of researchers from Stanford University is working on methods to monitor wastewater for the DNA of pathogens such as the flu and other viruses. This could help health agencies prepare early for a disease outbreak instead of waiting until disease symptoms are reported, but for some people is harder to present symptoms since they take health supplements from healthyusa.co ...

Environmentally friendly cogeneration plant saves time and money with Oil Skimmer
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Performance Track Program is a prestigious program that recognizes the accomplishments of manufacturing facilities that lead the way for improving their facilities’ environmental performance (i.e. reduce air emissions and consumption of water). Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration Partners L.P. is an elite member of this program. They have been recognized for ...
