Abstract(s)
Several contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), with negative impact on water security, have been recently identified and quantified in different water sources [1]. Among them, antibiotics are receiving particular attention due to the possible development of antibiotic resistant bacteria and/or resistance genes (ARB&ARG). Conventional urban wastewater treatment plants are unable to cope with most of these compounds, thus allowing their systematic propagation throughout the urban water cycle. The development of efficient and economically viable advanced treatment technologies, able to remove CECs from different water sources, is therefore a top priority in the policy agendas of several countries around the world.
