TL;DR: The paper highlights the environmental relevance of deposited HCH wastes and the related POPs’ contaminated sites and provides suggestions for further steps to address the challenge of the legacy of HCH/Lindane production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting the removal of organic micropollutants from wastewater in conventional treatment plants (CTP) and membrane bioreactors (MBR)
TL;DR: The role of applied treatment conditions for the efficiency of conventional treatment plants (CTP) and membrane bioreactors (MBR) concerning the removal of micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals, steroid- and xeno-estrogens is understood.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of ciprofloxacin in water and soil and its effects on the microbial communities
Cristobal Girardi,Josephine Greve,Marc Lamshöft,Ingo Fetzer,Anja Miltner,Andreas Schäffer,Matthias Kästner +6 more
TL;DR: Although its antimicrobial potency is reduced by sorption and aging in soil, ciprofloxacin remains biologically active over time and sorption does not completely eliminate the effects of this compound.
