Municipal wastewater treatment plants (MWTPs) have long been recognized to be of concern as a significant source for many contaminants of historical as well as many new contaminants of emerging concern (CEC) such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), and flame retardants. The health concerns associated with these contaminants include non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health effects and potential for endocrine disruption. The applicant has conducted research on two research projects to better understand and manage contaminant loadings to the environment resulting from MWTP effluents. The proposed research program will extend the findings from both the research projects, as discussed below.
