Abstract in brief

  • Wastewater treatment plants release both traditional pollutants like heavy metals (HMs) and emerging pollutants such as PFASs and PPCPs, which pose environmental risks.
  • The study analyzed pollutants in influent, effluent, and sludge from six WWTPs in China, finding that sludge disposal releases more PPCPs and HMs than effluent, while PFASs are more released via effluent.
  • The environmental risk of these pollutants was assessed based on their concentrations relative to their toxic thresholds, with algae and fish as indicator species to understand potential ecological impacts.
