Treated-wastewater discharges are a major point source
of organic pollutants such as pharmaceuticals, flame
retardants or the priority substances listed in the European Water Framework Directive. There have been few
studies in the past of the occurrence and biological activity of compounds newly emerging in the environment, such as pharmaceuticals or ingredients of personal
care products (PPCPs) and their metabolites. After passing through the sewage treatment plant (STP), the effluent is usually discharged into rivers and streams, or it
may be applied to farmland for irrigation. Thus, treated
wastewater might enter bank filtrate or infiltrate into
groundwater. If drinking water is produced from resources that contain a substantial portion of treated
wastewater (e.g. contaminated groundwater, river water
downstream of communities), this means a short-cut in
the natural water cycle, and there is a potential for indirect potable water reuse.

drinking water
If persistent pharmaceuticals and their metabolites are
found in drinking water, this represents unintended
indirect potable reuse. Considering ecotoxicological and
toxicological concerns, PPCPs are a challenge to urban
water management, since these mostly bio-active and
polar compounds have a high probability to pass
through the barriers of traditional drinking-water treatment technologies. In particular, little research work
was devoted to the potential exposure of humans to
metabolites of PPCPs that have biological activity.
The workshop demonstrates the results of a GermanCanadian project in this field and gives a survey about
the different perspectives in Canada and the EU.
