Wastewater is considered as primary source of the environmental contamination. Requirements for the quality of discharged wastewater are increasingly stricter. New xenobiotics are monitored. Xenobiotics which are stable and poorly biodegradable are a major risk for environment. Due to their bioaccumulation are in all components of environment, also in the food chain. Major threats are widely used xenobiotics. Pharmaceuticals and fragrances are the most used and significantly represented in wastewater. Millions of Pharmaceutical product packages are used for human and veterinary use every day. Fragrances are used to aromatize the perfumes, detergents or personal care products. Our work is separate it into two parts. In the first part were determined 2 groups of xenobiotics in wastewater which are purified by conventional methods used in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). In the first monitored group was a linear musk compounds. The second group represented pharmaceuticals of the NSAID, macrolide and sulfonamide antibiotics. Conventional purifying methods for WWTPs are insufficient for elimination of certain xenobiotics. Especially for xenobiotics which are difficult, slowly or impossible to eliminate by conventional (mechanical -biological) methods. Due to these facts we dealt with the possibility of removal xenobiotics by advanced oxidation processes (AOP) in the second part of our work. Advanced oxidation processes are used to remove of residual contamination of organic pollution as tertiary treatment on WWTPs. These processes are based on the generation and use of highly reactive free hydroxyl radicals. They are able to oxidize difficult oxidizable pollution and therefore to reduce of environmental contamination. Our AOP unit works with ozone, hydrogen peroxide, UV radiation and their combination.
