Assessment of the Presence of Triclosan in Wastewater Treatment Plants in the Czech Republic and Alternative Fungal Treatment
Original language description
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are considered to be a major source of various organopollutants in the aquatic environments as a consequence of insufficient treatment processes. This study was performed to investigate the occurrence of triclosan (TCS), an antimicrobial personal care product, in inlets and outlets of several WWTPs in order to provide information about the presence of the compound in the Czech Republic. Samples were collected at nine WWTPs located in Bohemia, downstream from variouslypopulated cities in the summer/autumn of 2011 and spring of 2012. At two WWTPs, TCS concentrations were found to be under the limit of detection of the method at both inlets and outlets. At the other WWTPs, the concentrations of TCS at the inlets rangedfrom 0 to 1830 ngl-1 (median 597 ngl-1, mean 528 ngl-1). At the outlets, the concentrations varied from 59 to 1051 ngl-1 (median 205 ngl-1, mean 335 ngl-1). The removal of TCS from wastewater is a process consisting of several mechanisms
