Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legislative emphasis on reducing the toxicity of wastewater effluent has resulted in increasingly sophisticated methods of determining toxicity. The purpose of this research project is to assess the impacts on DoD wastewater treatment facilities of one new monitoring method, biomonitoring. Biomonitoring has impacted DoD wastewater treatment facilities, however not to the degree anticipated. For bases that have been impacted, cost of contracting the tests is the primary problem associated with biomonitoring. Many bases have not been impacted because wastewater reuse has negated the need for discharge permits, and the inherent monitoring requirements. Bases subject to biomonitoring should assess water reuse as a means of wastewater disposal. Additionally, other bases have not as yet had biomonitoring requirements imposed on them. It is recommended that these bases prepare for future biomonitoring requirements by having their effluent tested to determine toxicity in anticipation of biomonitoring implementation by the states.

Download or read book Biomonitoring of Water and Waste Water written by Anju Agrawal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomonitoring of water quality is very much essential for assessing the overall health of water bodies and safe supply of drinking water. The chemical nature of toxicant is highly dynamic in environment with time and space whereas biological system can integrate all environmental variables over a large period of time in terms of effect that can be easily measured and quantified. In view of the above, there is a pressing need to determine the water quality of natural resources as well as drinking water based on the standard protocols and guidelines from regulatory agencies. It is clear that the synthetic chemicals are essential for our society to maintain the health and well being of the people. However, there has been a range of detrimental effects on human health and natural environment. In general, we need to improve our management of waste chemicals discharged into the air, water and soil environments. New techniques are needed to predict adverse effects before they occur and for the treatment of wastes. In addition, a range of social, political and economic factors will be needed to be taken into account in order to achieve success.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quarterly biomonitoring tests were performed for one year on composite effluent samples taken-from the Ft. Detrick (Frederick, MD) wastewater treatment plant. The cladoceran (Ceriodaphnia dubia) and fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) acute 48-h LC50 tests were used to evaluate the toxicity of the effluent for two quarters. The cladoceran 7-d survival and reproduction test and the fathead minnow 7-d survival and growth tests were used for two quarters. The effluent was not toxic to the cladoceran or fathead minnow when tested in both acute and chronic bioassays. One priority pollutant analysis was conducted on a composite effluent sample. The analysis showed that four (Cu, Pb, Ni, and Zn) of 12 heavy metal priority pollutants were present in the effluent. The concentrations of the four heavy metals, with the exception of lead for chronic exposure, were below the U.S. EPA numerical water quality criteria for acute and chronic toxicity of the metals to freshwater organisms. The freshwater chronic criteria value for lead is 3.2 ug/L; 6 ug/L were found in the effluent sample. Two volatile organics (bromodichloromethane and dibromochloromethane) were also detected. Both halomethanes were well below the U.S. EPA numerical water quality criteria for acute toxicity to freshwater organisms; no Biomonitoring, Bioassays, Priority pollutants, Acute toxicity, Chronic toxicity, Cladoceran, Ceriodaphnia dubia, Fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas, Wastewater treatment plant, WWTP. criterion is available for chronic exposure to halomethanes.

Chapters present applications of green materials made of agricultural waste, activated carbon and magnetic materials for wastewater treatment. The removal of toxic metals using algal biomass and the removal of toxic dyes using chitosan composite materials are also discussed. The book includes reviews on the removal of phenols, pesticides, and on the use of ionic liquid-modified activated carbon for the treatment of textile wastewater.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PFAS (per and polyfluoroalkylsubstances) are known to be extremely difficult to degrade in the environment and to be bioaccumulative and toxic. Exposure to PFAS is suspected to increase the risk of adverse health effects, such as impacts on the thyroid gland, the liver, fat metabolism and the immune system. This study estimates the socioeconomic costs that may result from impacts on human health and the environment from the use of PFAS. Better awareness of the costs and problems associated with PFAS exposure will assist decision-makers and the general public to make more efficient and timely risk management decisions. Findings indicate that the costs are substantial, with annual health-related costs estimated to 2.8 – 4.6 billion EUR for the Nordic countries and 52 – 84 billion EUR for all EEA countries. Overall non-health costs are estimated at 46 million – 11 billion EUR for the Nordic countries.Upon request the excel spreadsheets used for the monetarisation and valuation in this report can also be provided along with a guidance on how to use the estimation of costs for value transfer. Please contact any of the consultants or members of the steering group from the Swedish Chemicals Agency or the Danish Environmental Protection Agency if you are interested in receiving these excel spreadsheets.
