The objective of this special session is to gather environmental chemists, environmental engineers and wastewater utility and water treatment managers to discuss this topic and answer to questions such as:
-
Occurrence and analytical methods for the detection of emerging pollutants and their transformation products
-
Mechanisms affecting removal of these compounds in WWTSs
-
Wastewater and drinking water treatment processes (conventional and advanced) for the elimination of emerging contaminants
-
Transformation products which are formed during wastewater and water treatment
- Risk assessment for the aquatic environment due to the disposal and reuse of treated wastewater and sludge
Both oral and poster presentations from this session will be published to a special issue of Journal of Hazardous Materials after the normal peer review process of the journal.
