Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and fate of emerging contaminants in municipal wastewater treatment plants from different geographical regions-a review.
TL;DR: Many antibiotics were detected in the influents and effluents of WWTPs at concentrations close to or exceeding the predicted no-effect concentrations (PNECs) for resistance selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of emerging organic contaminants on freshwater resources: Review of recent occurrences, sources, fate and effects
TL;DR: This paper reviews recent studies on the occurrence and fate of frequently detected pharmaceuticals and hormones and identifies areas that merit further research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging contaminants of public health significance as water quality indicator compounds in the urban water cycle.
TL;DR: The structure of the UWC is researched in details and the routes by which the water cycle is increasingly contaminated with compounds generated from various anthropogenic activities are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and removal of multiple classes of antibiotics and antimicrobial agents in biological wastewater treatment processes
TL;DR: Beta-lactam, glycopeptide, and fluoroquinolone classes were largely eliminated by biological wastewater treatment processes, whereas trimethoprim and lincosamides appeared to be persistent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of selected PPCPs, EDCs, and antibiotic resistance genes in landfill leachate by a full-scale constructed wetlands system.
TL;DR: This study provides the first information on the occurrence of selected ECs and ARGs in raw leachate from 16-year old closed landfill site in Singapore and found the vast majority of ECs exhibited excellent removal efficiencies in the investigated hybrid CW system.
