Environmental Impact of Water from Wastewater Treatment Plants
The results of a study of the impact of
wastewater within water treatment plants on the environment are
presented. Therefore, the quality of wastewater is analysed from one of
the Romanian municipalities. The water samples were collected in two
campaigns at 2, 4, 8 or 12 hours interval. All samples were analysed to
obtain main physical-chemical parameters and the obtained results are
compared with the quality parameters provided in the Regulations for
wastewater discharge in the sewers of urban areas. The maximum accepted
values for various chemicals are exceeded in the study and contaminants
are introduced into the environment that causes instability and disorder
to the ecosystem. The impact of wastewater on air quality is also
analysed and the sources of air pollution are identified: biochemical
processes and vaporization from wastewater treatment plants. The nature
and intensity of the sewage attack on the environment are mainly
determined by the chemical agents resulted from the technological
processes carried out, especially, within industry.
