11. Pharmaceuticals – improved removal from municipal wastewater and their occurrence in the Baltic Sea
Sammanfattning : Pharmaceutical residues are found in the environment due to extensive use in human and veterinary medicine. The active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) have a potential impact in non-target organisms. Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are not designed to remove APIs. LÄS MER
12. From removal of organic micropollutants to municipal wastewater reuse - technological and social perspectives
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, wastewater reuse was investigated from technological and social perspectives, based onwhich the thesis was divided into two parts. In the first part, the removal of chemical and microbialcontaminants by full-scale and pilot-scale granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, in different processcombinations, was examined. LÄS MER
13. Antimicrobials in sewage treatment plants : occurrence, fate and resistance
Sammanfattning : The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified antibiotic resistance as a major threat to human health. The environment has been suggested to play an important role in the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. The external environment can act as a source of resistance genes that could potentially be transferred into human pathogens. LÄS MER
14. The influence of soil and contaminant properties on the efficiency of physical and chemical soil remediation methods
Sammanfattning : A vast number of sites that have been contaminated by industrial activities have been identified worldwide. Many such sites now pose serious risks to humans and the environment. Given the large number of contaminated sites there is a great need for efficient, cost-effective remediation methods. LÄS MER
15. Removal of Organic Micropollutants from Wastewater in Biofilm Systems
Sammanfattning : The presence of organic hazardous substances in the aquatic environment, such as pharmaceutically active compounds and personal care products, has become a worldwide issue of increasing environmental concern. Present at concentration of nano- to milligram per liter, they are defined as organic micropollutants (OMPs). LÄS MER
