A nine-year study on the temporal changes of licit and illicit drug use patterns as revealed from the chemical analysis of influent wastewater from the wastewater treatment plant of Athens

Galani K., Alygizakis N., Borova V., (Corresponding) Thomaidis N.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
Daily flow-proportional composite influent wastewater was collected from the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Athens during a nine-year sampling campaign (2010-2019).
