Sewage Effluent Articles
Sewage effluents released into freshwater, estuary and coastal waters, if they contain viable cysts, present a danger to the user of those waters. The densities of cysts in inland waters receiving sewage effluent can be considerably higher than those receiving no such discharges. The volumetric design capacity in the sewerage network or at the sewage treatment works may be surpassed during times of prolonged or heavy rainfalls. In these conditions, untreated sewage is pumped directly to the receiving watercourse having received insufficient treatment, either during sewage treatment operations or in a mixed sewer overflow system. A traditional sewage treatment
plant is built to extract organic and nutrients from urban
waste water and is not intended to eliminate micro-pollutants such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals and nano-sized metals that are a major concern for healthy human and ecological systems and are primarily released from sewage treatment plants. Journal of
