Treatment and treatability of hospital wastewaters.

2009
In the last years, increasing attention has been paid to the presence of emerging pollutants in wastewaters, surface waters and groundwaters (Daughton and Ternes, 1999; Heberer 2002, Barcelò 2003, Daughton 2004). Emerging contaminants correspond in most cases to unregulated pollutants, which may be candidate for future regulation depending on research
