NESP MaC Project 2.4 - Ecological outcomes of wastewater discharges in contrasting receiving environments

本记录概述了国家环境保护计划海洋和沿海枢纽项目“在不同接收环境中废水排放的生态结果”。有关此项目的特定数据输出，请参阅与此元数据关联的子记录。<br/> <br/> 澳大利亚的废物政策行动计划、海洋垃圾影响威胁消除计划和澳大利亚的一个健康总体行动计划都提到有必要将新出现的污染物纳入污染物准则。废水处理厂目前报告的污染物数量有限，缺乏一致的测试要求。NESP Mac范围研究1.16确定了明确和一致地需要关于新出现的污染物的环境浓度的数据及其对生态社区的影响的评估。该项目旨在确定不同排污口环境中新出现的污染物的浓度，并评估对环境影响最大的地方。它还将继续整理、分析和维护水处理部门提供的关于排污口流量、污染物浓度和负荷的信息，并每年在全国排污口数据库中提供这些信息。<br/> <br/> 产出<br/> ·从排污口[数据集]采集的水样中CEC(新出现的关注的污染物)的测量<br/> ·最终项目报告[书面]

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub project "Ecological outcomes of wastewater discharges in contrasting receiving environments". For specific data outputs from this project, please see child records associated with this metadata.<br /> --------------------<br /> <br /> Australia’s Waste Policy Action Plan, Threat Abatement Plan for the impacts of marine debris and Australia’s One Health Master Action Plan all refer to the need for emerging pollutants to be incorporated into contaminant guidelines. Wastewater treatment plants currently report on a limited number of contaminants and lack consistent testing requirements. NESP MaC Scoping Study 1.16 has determined there is a clear and consistent need for data on environmental concentrations of emerging contaminants and an assessment of their impact on ecological communities. This project aims to determine the concentration of emerging pollutants in different wastewater outfall settings, and assess where environmental impacts are greatest. It will also continue to collate, analyse and maintain the information from Water Treatment Authorities on outfall flows, pollutant concentrations and loads and presented annually within the National Outfalls Database.<br /> <br /> Outputs<br /> • Measures of CEC (contaminants of emerging concern) in water samples taken from outfall sites [dataset]<br /> • Final project report [written]
