Although strictly anaerobic conditions prevail in several environmental compartments, up to
now, biodegradation studies with emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), such as …

As long ago as the sixteenth century, Paracelsus recognized that 'the dose makes the
poison'. Indeed, environmental concentrations of pharmaceuticals excreted by humans are …

Removal of organic micropollutants was investigated in 15 diverse biological reactors
through short and long-term experiments. Short-term batch experiments were performed …

More than 50% of pharmaceuticals in current use are chiral compounds. Enantiomers of the
same pharmaceutical have identical physicochemical properties, but may exhibit differences …

Ozonation is an efficient treatment system to reduce the concentration of trace organic
compounds (TrOCs) from technical aquatic systems such as drinking water, wastewater and …

Occurrence and removal of 81 representative Pharmaceutical Active Compounds (PhACs)
were assessed in a municipal WWTP located in a highly industrialized area, with partial …

Human and veterinary active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are involved in
contamination of surface water, ground water, effluents, sediments and biota. Effluents of …

This paper critically reviews the fate of trace organic contaminants (TrOCs) in biosolids, with
emphasis on identifying operation conditions that impact the accumulation of TrOCs in …

Removal and fate of 18 pharmaceuticals of different compound classes and 11 human
metabolites were investigated in a subsurface flow constructed wetland (SSF), a pond and a …

This paper presents a comprehensive and critical comparison of four types of constructed
wetlands (CWs): free water surface CW (FWSCW), vertical flow CW (VFCW), horizontal flow …
