“…Such ''biocolloids'' can pose serious health hazards if they occur in drinking water wells [118,119]. Therefore microbial contaminants (protozoa, bacteria, and viruses) pose a great risk in water resources.…”

“…These organisms frequently contaminate drinking water, because of leaking sewage pipe systems or inadequately located septic tanks, enabling them to reach the groundwater (Keswick andGerba 1980, Stenstrijm 1996). Once they reach the groundwater, they can survive for long periods and viruses can be transported long distances, i.e., several hun-' dred metres (Schaub and Sorber 1977, Yates and Yates 1988, Sinton et al 1997.…”

“…Therefore, when using domestic wastewater for irrigation of crops, the risk of harmful micro-organisms reaching the groundwater must be considered. Bacteria and parasites are in most cases efficiently filtered out in a soil, or a constructed sand medium due to their large size, whereas viruses have been found to be more mobile in the same conditions (Keswick andGerba 1980, Jansons et al 1989, Bitton et d. 1997). The costs are recalculated to US$ using a rate of 1 US$ = 9 SEK.…”

Vegetation filters of fast-growing trees such as willows and poplars are becoming important as an alternative to conventional treatment of wastewater and landfill leachate. Short-rotation willow coppice is a non-edible crop and has many of the requirements for a suitable vegetation filter. The filtering capacity (e.g., of nitrogen) is very high, and the crop promotes denitrification in the root zone. It has a highly selective uptake of heavy metals, especially cadmium, which enables remediation of contaminated soils. In addition, willows have a high evapotranspiration rate facilitating high loads, e.g., of polluted landfill leachate. Because of the pathogens present in municipal wastewater and sludge, special attention must be paid to storage and distribution of wastewater. In many cases vegetation fdters are more cost-effective than conventional treatment methods and also facilitate recycling of valuable resources in society.Key words: bioenergy, economics, heavy metals, landfill leachates, municipal wastewater, pathogens, Salk spp., sewage sludge, wood ash Les filtres vCgCtaux constituCs d'espbces B croissance rapide comme les saules et les peupliers sont de plus en plus importants comme alternatives au traitement conventionnel des eaux usCes et du lixiviat des sites d'enfouissement. Les rejets de souche de saule de courte rotation represente une k o l t e non-comestible et couvrent plusieurs des prCrequis recherchks dans un filtre v6gCtal.

Ils tirent du sol de faqon trks sklective les mBtaux lourds, surtout le cadmium, ce qui permet la remkdiation des sols contaminks. De plus, les saules ont un fort taux d'Cvapotranspiration ce qui permet des quantitCs ClevCes, p, ex., de lixiviat de site d'enfouissement pollu6.

“…Conventional treatment processes for water supplies have been thought to inactivate viruses adequately, but detection of infectious human viruses in treated drinking water has raised concern that the processes may not always inactivate viruses [10]. Viruses are reported to be more resistant than bacteria to chlorine disinfection [11].…”
