Predictive models for the removal efficiency of emerging organic contaminants based on conventional water quality parameters in horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands

Key Points

• Removal efficiency improved significantly with specific water quality parameters, enhancing pollution control.
• Key metrics indicate that the introduction of predictive models can enhance removal rates by up to 30% in various conditions.
• Analysis of constructed wetlands demonstrates the correlation between water quality parameters and contaminant removal efficiency.
• Findings highlight the need for additional empirical evaluations across different environmental conditions for broader applicability.
