[Pharmwaste] Wastewater treatment technologies for removing contaminants of emerging concern - from EPA

[DeBiasi, Deborah (DEQ)]

EPA has published the results of an extensive review of the recent
literature on wastewater treatment technologies and their ability to
remove a number of chemical contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). EPA
has also made available a computer-searchable format of the data from
this literature review.  EPA developed this information to provide an
accessible and comprehensive body of historical information about
current CEC treatment technologies. Wastewater treatment plant
operators, designers, and others may find this information useful in
their studies of ways to remove CECs from wastewater. The report is not
designed to promote any one technology nor is it intended to set agency
policy or priorities in terms of risk. The literature review report and
the searchable file were peer-reviewed for completeness and usability. 

The report can be found at:
