Among its multiple applications and due to its powerful oxidising nature, it is widely used forwater purificationin sewage treatment plants and as a disinfectant in other applications. In sewage treatment plants, instead of treating the water directly with chlorine gas,hypochlorite solutions are used that gradually release chlorine into the water and are capable ...
(S)‐NAP was detected in influents and effluents of sewage treatment plants (STPs) located in the Tama River basin Tokyo at concentrations of 0.03–0.43 µg L−1 and 0.01–0.11 µg L−1, respectively. The concentrations of a major metabolite, 6‐O‐desmethyl NAP (DM‐NAP) were up to 0.47 and 0.56 µg L−1 in influents and effluents, respectively. (R)‐NAP was ...
Of the original questions, the three perceived to be of highest importance related to: (1) the effects of long‐term exposure to low concentrations of PPCP mixtures on non‐target organisms; (2) effluent treatment methods that can reduce the effects of PPCPs in the environment while not increasing the toxicity of whole effluents; and (3) the ...
They have been detected in wastewater, surface runoff, and effluents from sewage treatment plants. As such, they could potentially reach agriculture land through the application of municipal biosolids or reclaimed water. ...
