Description
The project demonstrated (field test in 2 Portuguese WWTP) feasible improvement measures to enhance pharmaceutical compounds removal in urban WWTPs with conventional activated sludge treatment. It also produced knowledge for water resource protection from PhCs and associated environmental policy. This included PhC occurrence and concentration, control in WWTPs, bacterial antibiotic resistance and PhC bioaccumulation in clams.

Objectives
- Demonstrating measures for improving pharmaceutical compounds removal in urban WWTP with conventional activated sludge treatment
Results
Demonstration of measures for improving the control of pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) in urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) with conventional activated sludge treatment
Production of valuable knowledge for water resource protection from PhCs and associated environmental policies on PhC occurrence and concentration, control in WWTPs, bacterial antibiotic resistance and PhC bioaccumulation in clams
