| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to develop a wastewater quality and quantity assessment based on the occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the receiving waters, without modelling. Surveys of 60 pharmaceuticals in river water and influent and effluent of wastewater treatment plants were carried out in the River Thames Basin, UK, Kyungahn River Basin, South Korea, Dhaka, Bangladesh, and Hanoi, Vietnam. Appropriate markers that could be used to estimate wastewater content (WWC) and treatment efficiency of effluent in the receiving river at a certain point were selected from the field surveys in each area. Such information is valuable in estimating the discharge or occurrence of not only the measured chemicals but also other chemicals and pathogens derived from our daily life.
