Water reuse will become a major option to meet increasing water demand in Australia. However, the presence of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in wastewater has been identified as a potential impediment for this practice. This project will use a combination of effects-based biological methods based on different levels of biological organisation, and chemical analysis to assess the efficacy of an advanced tertiary sewage treatment plant (ATSTP) to remove EDCs. The results will provide insights on 1. effects of mixtures of EDCs; 2. characterisation of risks of reuse of treated effluent; 3. optimisation of effluent treatment technologies to ensure industry competitiveness; and 4. developing sustainable plans to meet future water demand.

水回用将成为满足澳大利亚日益增长的水需求的主要选择。然而，废水中存在的内分泌干扰化合物（EDCs）已被确定为这种做法的潜在障碍。该项目将使用基于不同生物组织水平的基于效果的生物方法和化学分析相结合，以评估高级三级污水处理厂（ATSTP）去除内分泌干扰物的功效。结果将提供见解1。内分泌干扰物混合物的影响; 2.处理过的废水再利用的风险特征; 3.优化污水处理技术，确保行业竞争力;及4.制定可持续发展计划，以满足未来的用水需求。
