Description

Phthalate Esters (PAEs), detected in high concentrations generally in treated wastewater discharged from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), are important pollutants that restrict the reuse of wastewater. Investigating the fate of these endocrine-disrupting chemicals in WWTPs is crucial in order to protect both receiving environments and ecosystems. For this purpose, di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP) and benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) in the group of PAEs were monitored in simultaneously both in wastewater and sludge lines of selected two nature-based WWTPs and one advanced biological WWTP.
