A critical review of wastewater quality variation and in-sewer processes during conveyance in sewer systems

Yaohuan Gao et al.

Summary: In-sewer physio-biochemical processes cause variations in wastewater quality during conveyance, affecting the influent to wastewater treatment plant and microbial community in biological treatment units. Contaminants in sewer deposits can be released during combined sewer overflows, posing challenges to treatment facilities and urban water quality. Studies have shown that biochemical reactions are organized in deposits and sewage, following redox potential and degradation sequence. Future research should focus on topics such as FOG deposits, transport of contaminants in sewer atmosphere, nonconventional contaminants, and wastewater quality variation during biofilm rehabilitation.

Occurrence, characteristics, and removal of microplastics in wastewater treatment plants located on the Moroccan Atlantic: The case of Agadir metropolis

Sara Hajji et al.

Summary: Wastewater treatment plants are important sources of microplastics in the environment, but there is limited research on their occurrence and removal efficiency, especially in African countries. This study investigated the abundance of microplastics in the influent and effluent of two wastewater treatment plants in Morocco and found that the abundance was higher in the plant receiving urban and industrial inputs. Fibers were the most common type of microplastics, and the main polymers identified were polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene. The study also found that the abundance of microplastics varied with seasons, with higher levels in summer. The findings of this study have implications for wastewater management and understanding microplastic pollution in marine ecosystems.

Characterization and sources apportionment of overflow pollution in urban separate stormwater systems inappropriately connected with sewage

Yiping Li et al.

Summary: Combined sewer overflow (CSO) is a significant contributor to urban water environment deterioration, and while transforming it into a separate sewer system is considered effective, there are still issues of overflow pollution. Research found that drainage outlets inappropriately connected with sewage had higher pollutant concentrations and weak first flush effects. The discharge pollution load primarily comes from inside the sewer and is influenced by antecedent dry periods and rainfall intensity.

Detection of microplastics in human lung tissue using μFTIR spectroscopy

Lauren C. Jenner et al.

Summary: Airborne microplastics (MPs) have been found to have increased concentrations in areas with high human population and activity, especially indoors. This study analyzed human lung tissue samples and identified 39 MPs in 11 out of 13 samples, with an average concentration of 1.42 +/- 1.50 MP/g of tissue. The most abundant polymer types were polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and resin. The study also found that MPs were present in all regions of the lung, with significantly higher levels in the lower region compared to the upper and middle regions. These findings suggest that inhalation is a route of exposure for environmental MPs.
