“…For some of these endpoints, the well-known environmental pollutants can only explain as little as 0.1-5% of the observed toxicity, implying that up to 99.9% of the toxicity is caused by unknown chemicals or mixture effects [3,4]. It has therefore been suggest that effect-based methods should be incorporated in the drinking water quality control [7,8], as they can integrate the effects of both known and unknown chemicals as well as potential mixture effects that can occur when an organism is simultaneously exposed to multiple chemicals. Thereby, the effect-based methods can help to bridge the current knowledge gap and contribute to the societal goal of universal access to safe drinking water.…”

“…OMPs are constantly released into the environment from a wide range of activities: industry (solvents), agriculture (pesticides, herbicides), the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare (drugs such as antibiotics or hormones), and households (personal care products). The diversity of chemical structures and release sources make OMP removal a great challenge for current water technology, leading to widespread investment in projects assessing and improving OMP removal by WWTPs as well as projects developing new quantification and detection methods ( Dopp et al., 2019 ; Rizzo et al., 2019 ). New technological innovations in WWTPs are expected to contribute to reduce the impact of these pollutants and provide surface and groundwaters with minimal or preferably no OMPs.…”

“…The chemical composition of wastewater is influenced by the specific consumption of water per capita. The higher the consumption of water per capita, the more diluted the waste water, because, in general, the amount of waste water discharged is relatively constant, [8,9]. Important for the design of the treatment plants is the value and the state of the materials contained in the water, respectively the quantity of the solid organic matter that is suspended and separable by decanting, solid organic materials and dissolved in the water, as well as other materials specific to the waste water, such as: nitrogen under all forms of chemical combinations, chlorides, sulphides, hydrogen sulphide, etc.…”
