Structural and Non-Structural Management of Carcinogenic Wastewater Factors in a Sewage Treatment Plant

Genotoxin materials are a group of chemicals or other agents that damages cellular DNA, resulting in mutations or cancer. Municipal wastewaters, although ranking low in genotoxicity potency, can achieve loading values that are several orders of magnitude greater than those of most industries. Furthe...
