Wessex Water

TL;DR: Understudied areas of emerging contaminant (EC) research in wastewaters and the environment are identified, and direction for future monitoring is recommended, and the fate and impact of ECs in all exposed environmental compartments are studied.

TL;DR: This is the most comprehensive multi-residue analytical method reported in the literature for the determination of ECs in both liquid and solid environmental matrices and to demonstrate the method's sensitivity, application to environmental samples revealed 68 and 40 ECs to be above their respective MQL in liquid environmental samples and digested sludge.

TL;DR: In this paper, the economics of membrane processes for water and waste water applications were investigated and the results of extensive pilot plant trials were used to determine the cost of treatment using a range of ultrafiltration and microfiltration membranes.

TL;DR: Results of generalised additive modelling indicated that recovery trajectories for TLa and FLa in surface and bottom waters in lakes were represented by 2nd order decay relationships, with time, and that recovery reached an end-point between 3 and 12 months post-application.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the 18th century city of Bath in the South West of England as a case study to illustrate the urban development process and found that it exhibits an environmental footprint that is greater than its surrounding bioregion and some 20 times larger than its own land area.
