Urban Wastewater Treatment in Brazil
The major focus of this report is the description and critical analysis of the main wastewater treatment processes used in Brazil. Special emphasis is given to small to medium size communities with populations lower than 100,000 inhabitants, which represent approximately 95% of the 5,570 Brazilian municipalities. In terms of coverage, around 40% of the sewage generated in Brazil is treated

Sludge Treatment and Disposal
Sludge Treatment and Disposal 2. Background The percentage of the population served by sewage waste water treatment facilities varies considerably among the countries of the EU. The differences among thirteen member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) are illustrated in figure 2.1.
The simple design and relatively low operating cost, due to low cost of added chems. and low energy input (estd. at 0.07-0.1 Euros/m3 wastewater treated), combined with excellent treatment performance, meant this system can be used as a novel domestic wastewater treatment system for developing countries.
Removal of Pharmaceuticals in Sewage Treatment Plants in Italy
A listing of “priority pharmaceuticals” for human use in Italy resulted in the selection of 26 pharmaceuticals, belonging to 11 therapeutic classes. They were analyzed by liquid chromatography−tandem mass spectrometry, their occurrence was assessed in six sewage treatment plants (STPs), and the loads and the removal rates (RR) were studied.
