This work identified transformation products (TPs) from 5 antibiotics and 1 analgesic, namely enrofloxacin, marbofloxacin, danofloxacin, amoxicillin, penicillin G and dexamethasone, respectively, present in spiked real piggery wastewater (PWW) before and after two different treatments in two open...Read more
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). Analytes in influent wastewater are markers of the consumption and the exposure of the chemicals in the population. Wastewater...Read more
