Fecha de publicación: | oct-2020 | Editor: | Elsevier | Citación: | Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering 8 (5): 104262 (2020) | Resumen: | Wastewater discharges from cities and industries, especially megacities, and intensive livestock can be considered as main sources of pollution of our rivers and groundwater. Water pollution, therefore, constitutes a major threat to both aquatic ecosystems and human health. Here we address the influence of chemical pollution in waste- and drinking water, their associated potential toxicological effects, as well as, the available technologies for their removal. This opinion paper provides illustrative selected examples covering a broad range for both drinking water and wastewater treatment processes, for which a battery of toxicity tests is applied for their risk assessment. The examples are classified based on five hot topics: (i) Bioassays for toxicity evaluation, (ii) Toxicity of municipal wastewaters, (iii) Toxicity of pharmaceutical residues and hospital wastewaters, (iv) Toxicity of other non-urban effluent examples, and (v) Drinking water treatment processes and toxicity evaluation. 'Chemical analysis combined with batteries of bioassays covering a broad range of endpoints: cytotoxicity, endocrine disruption, genotoxicity, and other types seem to be good way to assess performance/efficiency of the water treatment processes when removing chemical contaminants.. Altogether, while recognizing that water treatment is a cornerstone for water pollution reduction, providing safe water for both human use and its return back to the aquatic environment will be undoubtedly enhanced with the use of ecotoxicity biomonitoring. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jece.2020.104262 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/220960 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jece.2020.104262 |
