Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of semi-volatile organic compounds that are formed during the incomplete burning of gas, coal, oil, wood, garbage, or other organic substances. PAHs are a concern because a number of them have been identified as genotoxic and/or carcinogenic. They pose a threat to ecological systems and can cause health problems. A significant source of PAHs is the effluent of wastewater treatment plants. This book explores the occurrence and the treatability of PAHs in wastewater treatment. Key Features: • • • • • • • • •
Presents results from full-scale and pilot-plant studies using “here and now” WWTP technologies, such as activated sludge processes and membrane bioreactors. Includes a literature review of the occurrence, removal and fate of PAHs in WWTPs Explains the analytical chemistry techniques used to detect and quantify PAHs Provides an overview of which PAHs are monitored according to recommendation/requirements of various agencies, e.g. the US EPA, US Dept. of Health and Human Services, the European Union, and the World Health Organization. Discusses the current state-of-knowledge of PAHs occurrence and fates in WWTP sludge, sludge-amended agricultural soils, and aquatic sediments. Discusses WWTP applications of the US EPA’s Fate and Treatability Estimator (FATE) model Written by international experts and provides results of both pilot and full-scale plant PAHs studies in the Mediterranean (Italy, Greece and Tunisia), Poland and North America Why this book is important in Europe? - The EU has a watch list of PAHs. Why in Mediterranean countries, e.g. Tunisia? - Huge population living around an enclosed, rather shallow sea; lots of attention on PAHs and water contaminants
