“…As compared with heavy metal levels reported in literature for sludge collected from various WWTPs, our results (Table 1) are in good agreement with those found for Kavala by other authors [25,33], are comparable with findings for Kalamata [22], Komotini [23] and Crete [21] in Greece, for Spain [18,28,38], Poland [13,27] and Brasil [34,37], and are much lower than the values obtained for Greece at the largest WWTPs of Athens (Psyttalia and Metamorphosi) [33] and Thessaloniki [4], and also for China [35,36] and Thailand [7], probably due to the fact that the WWTPs in this study only receive domestic wastewater, while industrial wastes processed in other stations usually contain higher levels of heavy metals than residential wastes [39].…”

“…We hypothesize that the metals which present moderate to strong positive correlation have common origin, which could be a domestic-commercial mixed source. The information existing in the literature identified domestic inputs (tap water, food, detergents, personal care products, toilet, dissolution of internal parts of domestic appliances, plumbing) as the largest overall sources of Cu, Zn and Pb entering the urban WWTP system [1,5,6,39]. Estimates of Ni loadings from domestic sources are highly variable and this contribution may be similar to, or greater than, the commercial input [1].…”

“…Even up to 90% of the total suspension is a mineral slurry in the form of sand, gravel and soil particles, which absorbs other impurities on its porous surface. Strict relations were found between the amount of suspension and the chemical and biochemical oxygen demand as well as the concentration of heavy metals [5,6]. The most commonly used devices for preclining rain watercourses include various types of separators, settling tanks, absorbent wells, sediment ponds, soil filters, etc.…”

“…Source analyses of Cu for isolated recipients or entire municipalities have been frequently published in the literature [1][2][3][4]. Fate models for Cu in lakes have been suggested by e.g., Lindström and Håkanson [5], Woodfine et al [6], Mackay et al [7] and Heijungs [8].…”
