TL;DR: Monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 in sewage, although no evidence of COVID-19 transmission has been found via this route, could be advantageously exploited as an early warning of outbreaks.

TL;DR: Efficiency of carbon to remove the cations from real wastewater produced by copper industries was studied and showed that not only these cations can be removed considerably by the carbon sources, but also removing efficiency are much more in the real samples.

TL;DR: In this paper, the possibility of achieving better treatment performance in improved designs of macrophyte-based wastewater treatment systems is discussed, and the applicability of the different macro-phyte based wastewater treatment system depends on climatic conditions, effluent quality required, wastewater characteristics, availability and price of land, conservation regulations, etc.
Abstract: Both natural and constructed wetlands have been used as wastewater treatment systems; it is generally found that both systems may act as efficient water purification systems and nutrient sinks. The possibility of achieving better treatment performance in improved designs of macrophyte-based systems is discussed. Emergent macrophyte-based wastewater treatment systems can be constructed with different designs. The concept of treating wastewater in constructed wetlands with subsurface flow was developed in Germany in the 1970s. A design consisting of several beds laid out in parallel with percolation flow and intermittent loading will increase soil oxygenation several-fold compared to horizontal subsurface flow systems. The applicability of the different macrophyte-based wastewater treatment systems depends, among other things, on climatic conditions, effluent quality required, wastewater characteristics, availability and price of land, conservation regulations, etc. Water hyacinth-based systems can, for instance, only be used in warm climates, as the plant does not tolerate frost.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed 10 samples of olive mill wastewater from different mills in southern Spain and other 10 of OMW sludges from evaporation ponds and found that these materials had a high potassium concentration, a similar organic matter content and notable levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and iron.
