Abstract:Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) must process wastewater efficient and continuously. Uncontrolled toxic spills can damage the activated sludge units, reducing the treatment capacity of the bacterial culture. Consequently, water below the quality requirements could be released to the receiving environment, contributing to the loss of biological diversity, degradation of water resources and generating public health threats. The objective of this assay was to study the changes that an insecticide spill produce… Show more
