Levels of heavy metals in sewage water are essential to determine before moving to human use and the cultivation sector because of the venomousness effects of heavy metal to plants, humans and soil by uses sewage water directly or indirectly. Sewage water is being engendered at present in large...

Wastewater from the textile industry contains high concentrations of pollutants, so the wastewater must be treated before it is discharged. In addition, the reuse of treated wastewater should be considered from an environmental point of view, as large volumes of wastewater are produced. Since...

Wastewater recycling has been considered one way of ensuring sustainable water accessibility for domestic purposes through the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This work investigated the factors that guide the preference for water recycling in Iwo, Osun State, Nigeria, to encourage its...

The detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA in wastewater can be used as an indicator of the presence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in specific catchment areas. We conducted a hospital-based study to explore wastewater management in healthcare facilities and analyzed ...

Background:: Pathogenic viruses have been abundant and diverse in wastewater, reflecting the pattern of infection in humans. Human feces, urine, and perhaps other washouts that frequently circulate in sewage systems may contaminate wastewater with SARS-CoV-2. It's crucial to effectively disinfect ...

Introduction: In recent years, an outbreak of a new coronavirus, scientifically known as SARS-CoV-2, has led to a worldwide new infectious disease called Covid-19. Based on some reports, this virus stays after infection in the feces and consequently in the wastewater up to seven months, so...

In this study, two typical municipal wastewater treatment plants (one mainly handling industrial wastewater, the other mainly domestic wastewater) in Harbin were selected as a object of study for the investigation of micro-plastics contained in municipal wastewater, which focused on comparative...

Existing water and wastewater treatment techniques are becoming increasingly difficult to employ due to the discovery of new toxins, the rapid development of population and industrial activities, and the limited quantity of water resources. Treatment of wastewater is a critical need in modern...

This article presents the results of a study on the oestrogenicity and androgenicity of urban wastewater in Lodz, and the possibility of their removal by the Group Wastewater Treatment Plant (GWWTP). Wastewater samples were taken at five points of the sewer system in the city and at the inlet and...

The hydrolysis acidification process is an economical and effective method, but its efficiency is still low in treating azo dye wastewater. It is therefore crucial to find more suitable and efficient means or techniques to further strengthen the process of treating azo dye wastewater by a...
