Original Abstract

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have always been one of the major sources of pollution for the aquatic ecosystems. Conventional activated sludge treatment technologies ensure high efficiency of biologically degradable organic pollution and nutrient removal, but are inefficient towards the so-called emerging contaminants: substances such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, heavy metals, surfactants, burning inhibitors or cosmetic products (Crisp et al. 1998).
