| The treatment efficiency of industrial effluents, after biological treatment by activated sludge in aeration tanks (AT), was assessed through the utilisation of respirometry tests at the Cetrel's-wastewater treatment plant (WTP). Samples of the equalised effluent (EE), prior to treatment, and of the treated effluent (TE), after treatment, were analysed. Twenty bioassays batch were carried out to AT (AT-2, AT-3 and AT-4). Each test consisted of: a basic test, a basic test with peptone added, a test using EE and a test using TE. The data showed that there was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) in the respiration activity between the aeration tanks. Regarding the specific oxygen uptake rate there was a mean reduction of 70.8% between the... |

| A hepatitis E outbreak, which occurred on a small isolated island, provided an opportunity to evaluate the association between the number of hepatitis E cases in the community and the concentration of virus detected in sewage. Samples were collected from the different sewage treatment plants from the island and analyzed for the presence of hepatitis E (HEV) virus using real-time RT-PCR. We demonstrated that if 1–4 % of inhabitants connected to a WWTP were infected with HEV, raw sewage contained HEV at detectable levels. The finding that such a small number of infected people can contaminate municipal sewage works raises the potential of the further distribution of the virus. Indeed, investigating the routes of transmission of HEV, including the potential... |
