Urban wastewater treatment plants as hotspots for the release of antibiotics in the environment: a review. (2013, background): “Metronidazole, an imidazole antibiotic,was removed up to 23% during CAS (Kasprzyk-Hordern et al., 2009; Jelic et al., 2011) and 45% in an MBR treating hospital wastewater (SRT 1⁄4 30e50 days, Kovalova et al.”
Occurrence of pharmaceutical compounds in urban wastewater: removal, mass load and environmental risk after a secondary treatment--a review. (2012, background): “Data of high removal by sorption referring to hydrochlorothiazide (Jelic et al., 2011) were not expected by the Authors during their investigation as this compound was never detected in the influent and effluent of the WWTP, but only it was detected in the sludge.”
A review on the occurrence of micropollutants in the aquatic environment and their fate and removal during wastewater treatment. (2014, background): “The total removal during secondary treatment generally refers to the losses of a parent compound contributed by different mechanisms of chemical and physical transformation, biodegradation and sorption to solids (Jelic et al., 2011).”
