1. Removal processes in sewage treatment plants : Sludge quality and treatment efficiency of structurally diverse organic compounds
Sammanfattning : Large and ever-increasing numbers of chemicals, including large quantities of a broad spectrum of organic compounds are used in modern society. More than 30 000 of the more than 100 000 chemical substances registered in the EU are estimated to be daily used, of which many will be discharged into the waste-streams handled by municipal sewage treatment plants (STPs).

2. 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
3. Co-digestion of microalgae and sewage sludge - A feasibility study for municipal wastewater treatment plants
Sammanfattning : The increased emissions of anthropogenic greenhouse gases over the last 100 years is the reason for the acceleration in the greenhouse effect, which has led to an increase of the globally averaged combined land and ocean surface temperature of 0.85 °C between 1880 and 2012. LÄS MER
4. Determination of Antibiotics in the Swedish Environment with Emphasis on Sewage Treatment Plants
Sammanfattning : Metoder har utvecklats för att kunna bestämma tolv antibiotikasubstanser, vanliga inom human medicin, i miljöprover. Fokus lades på trimetoprim samt substanser från följande grupper: fluorokinoloner, sulfonamider, penicilliner, cefalosporiner, nitroimidazoler, tetracykliner samt makrolider. LÄS MER
5. Effects of ozonated sewage effluents and pharmaceuticals in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Sammanfattning : The aquatic environment is the main destination for many organic pollutants originating from human activity. Pharmaceuticals are significant contributors to this pollutant cocktail. LÄS MER
