  • How many chemical contaminants are found in Brazilian drinking water?
  • In the present systematic review, 77 different chemical contaminants were found in Brazilian drinking water, 22 of which were predicted in the Brazilian health-based target and 54 emerging pollutants where guidelines were proposed.
  • Are there more chemicals used in water treatment?
  • A quick comparison of chemicals used in 1981 versus 2016 reveals that not only has the use of chemicals in water treatment increased, but also there are more chemicals used in water treatment than ever before. Fig. 1 depicts the growth in the water treatment chemicals market from the early 1990 s until now, and a forecast up to 2025. Fig. 1.
  • Why is tertiary wastewater treatment important in Brazil?
  • Municipal wastewater treatment facilities in Brazil treat up to the secondary (biological) stage, leading to limited removal of contaminants of emerging concern. It is an urgent priority to improve the sanitation infrastructure implementing tertiary treatment ( Starling et al. 2018 ).
  • How are chemical and physical methods used in water treatment?
  • Chemical and physical methods have been used to back each other up for many years, and that trend will continue for the near future. Coagulation and disinfection are the two stages in the water treatment process that are based principally on the introduction of chemicals into the feed water.
