An innovative biofilter technology for reducing environmental spreading of emerging pollutants and odour emissions during municipal sewage treatment

M. De Sanctis et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effectiveness of the recently developed MULESL technology in removing CECs and limiting odour emissions. Results showed that MULESL technology was much more effective in removing 60% of the identified compounds compared to traditional WWTPs, attributed to factors such as high sludge retention time and biomass concentration. Furthermore, odour impact analysis indicated that MULESL had a significantly lower impact compared to conventional WWTP treatments.

Estimation of greenhouse gas and odour emissions from a cold region municipal biological nutrient removal wastewater treatment plant

Mohsen Asadi et al.

Summary: Seasonal temperature variations in cold regions lead to variable gas emissions from MWTPs, with this study focusing on determining greenhouse gas and odour emission rate estimates from an open-to-air BNR type MWTP in Saskatoon, Canada. Results showed differences in emissions between winter and summer samples, with higher emissions in summer and the aerobic reactor as the dominant source of greenhouse gas emissions in both seasons. Additionally, changes in aeration rates and treatment configurations impacted the emission rate estimates.

Health risk assessment for multimedia exposure of formaldehyde emitted by chemical accident

Si-Hyun Park et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the chronic health risks of residents living near a chemical accident site due to long-term exposure to formaldehyde. Results showed that inhalation exposure to formaldehyde did not cause harmful health impacts for all age groups, but exposure to soil containing formaldehyde did. This study is significant in assessing the residual and temporal concentration changes of a pollutant released in a chemical accident, reflecting the exposure characteristics of the toxic chemical.
