“…In addition, toxic substances in reclaimed water usually cause different adverse effects corresponding to the intensity at different biological levels (molecules, cells, organs, individuals, and communities). Some epidemiological studies showed that xenobiotic substances in reclaimed water were related to carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and teratogenicity [22]. Reclaimed water will become an important alternative source in the future; therefore, the safety of water quality must be ensured to avoid adverse health effects and ecological risks during long-term use [10].…”

‘Alea iacta est', the die is cast, said the Roman general Gaius Julius Caesar the moment he and his troops crossed the Rubicon River. This phrase refers to a state where everything has already been decided and this decision cannot be taken back. It is at this borderline that humanity now finds itself; its survival is at stake. The basic biogenic components of the environment, such as water, air, and soil, are coming under the pressure of the modern industrial revolution. The products of this anthropogenic activity significantly affect the environment. We live in a time of rapid climate change, melting of glaciers, devastation of nature, mass extermination, or loss of animal and plant species in order to increase human living standards. Man has caused all this in one stage of human life, a generation. Humanity mismanages natural resources and clings to a lifestyle that is vain. It destroys the natural environment on which it is dependent simultaneously. An environmental disaster is coming. Will our blue planet still be livable for future generations? The study deals with one of the components of the environmental environment, not an insignificant one, that is, water. For the moment, recycled water is a neglected and underappreciated resource from the point of view of the Czech Republic and its state authorities. The cleaning process may be inadequate or unreliable, and residual biological and chemical contaminants may pose a risk to human health. This work focuses on the use of purified wastewater mainly for firefighting unit activities in relation to a possible health risk. The result of the study is a clear possible recommendation for the use of recycled wastewater from a technical, technological, and logistical point of view, but taking into account the precautionary principle.

“…Amha et al (2017) After evaluating the response of switch grass and rapeseed to irrigation with treated shale oil/gas produced water, Pica et al (2017) recommended that the concentrations of organic matter and total organic carbon in the irrigation water should be less than 50 mg/L and 5 mg/L, respectively, to keep leaf cell damage low and to maintain a sustainable biomass production. Ren et al (2017) A combined disinfection using alkaline control and UV radiation was evaluated by Bilotta et al (2017) to suit the sanitary parameters of secondary effluent from a swine farm for all types of agricultural water reuse. Alkaline inactivation (pH 9-10) followed by UV radiation (160.5 ± 20.8 mJ/cm 2 ) achieved 3.7 log for total coliform, 3.8 log for E. coli, and 4.0 log for Salmonella.…”

“…Negative effects of micropollutants to human health have been demonstrated in vitro using wastewater effluent. These effects were assessed using human cells and include decreased proliferation, increased damage and apoptosis of embryonic kidney cells and overexpression of stress response genes in human intestinal epithelium (Etteieb et al, 2019;Ren et al, 2017). Human exposure to micropollutants through consumption of treated wastewater is currently not a realistic exposure route.…”

Micropollutants removal with activated carbon : Adsorption and regeneration by biodegradation

Hydrophilic organic micropollutants are commonly detected in source water used for drinking water production. Effective technologies to remove these micropollutants from water include adsorption onto granular activated carbon in fixed-bed filters. The ratedetermining step in adsorption using activated carbon is usually the adsorbate diffusion inside the porous adsorbent. The presence of mesopores can facilitate diffusion, resulting in higher adsorption rates. We used two different types of granular activated carbon, with and without mesopores, to study the adsorption rate of hydrophilic micropollutants. Furthermore, equilibrium studies were performed to determine the affinity of the selected micropollutants for the activated carbons. A pore diffusion model was applied to the kinetic data to obtain pore diffusion coefficients. We observed that the adsorption rate is influenced by the molecular size of the micropollutant as well as the granular activated carbon pore size.
