Abstract:

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are important sources of environmental hormones. Even lower concentrations PPCPs may cause worse impact on ecological environment. The paper presents the characteristics of PPCPs in the sludge of sewage treatment plant. The paper surveys the biodegradation effect of PPCPs under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The paper also analyzes the impact of humic substances on degradation and transformation of PPCPs and proposes the negative profiles to be improved.

Key words: sludge, PPCPs, degradation
