Evaluation of a municipal wastewater treatment plant with advanced treatment processes.
Implementation of ozonation and powdered activated carbon dosing followed by cloth filtration.
Use of effect-based methods and targeted chemical measurements for assessing effluent quality.
Analysis of the benthic invertebrate community downstream to investigate ecological responses.
Advanced treatment significantly decreased toxic effects and concentrations of indicator substances compared to conventional methods.
Despite improvements, residual adverse effects persisted in the receiving water, observed through active biomonitoring.
Benthic invertebrate community analysis indicated ongoing ecological impacts, highlighting areas needing further optimization.
