Additional information

This paper reports for the first time how the commissioning of a full-scale granular activated carbon (GAC) plant has improved effluent quality and receiving river water, by the increased removal of endocrine disrupting chemicals and pharmaceuticals. The findings have raised the profile of the EDCAT programme funded by Defra. The output has helped Defra in promoting the application of GAC in sewage treatment.
