Abstract
Microconstituents (MCs) have become a global issue due to their characteristics regarding their trace concentrations, persistence, and bio-inhibition in aqueous environments. MCs are difficult to remove using treatment units in conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) because these plants are not designed for MCs treatment. This chapter reviews and understands the fate and transport of MCs in WWTPs. These aspects involve the source, fate, and removal methods of MCs in WWTPs, and the critical operational parameters in WWTPs for MCs treatment.
