Abstract

Nowadays the presence of numerous emerging micropollutants is one of the most challenging problems in the aquatic environments. Their occurrence in water bodies is due to continuous discharge of personal care products (PCPs) into the environment and developed analytical techniques. Their entering to wastewater treatment plants (WTP or WWTP) has the negative effects on biological treatment processes; therefore conventional treatment processes are unable to completely remove PCPs from aquatic environments. This chapter reviews the acute and chronic toxicity data available for PCPs and focuses on the occurrence and fate of PCPs in water bodies and the techniques adopted for their removal from sewage treatment plant/WTP unit in different countries. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a comprehensive summary of the removal and fate of PCPs in aquatic environments to adopt optimal methods for their removal in water and WWTP. © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
