Abstract
Efficiency of wastewater treatment plants in removal of intestinal parasites: A review approach
Highlights
Parasitic infections are among the most important sources of pollution in nature which can be considered as a public health index [1]
Prevalence of parasitic infections in water treatment system Based on the collected data, nine studies have been conducted to investigate the prevalence of parasitic infections in different treatment plants (Table 1)
The present review show that the type of the natural constructed wetland in Kermanshah (Iran) and activated sludge processes in Iran and Brazil had the highest efficiency in removal of intestinal parasites
Summary
Parasitic infections are among the most important sources of pollution in nature which can be considered as a public health index [1]. The reuse of treated domestic wastewater as a valuable source of water for various uses, including agriculture and green space irrigation, is one of the most important purposes of wastewater treatment and conservation of resources, especially in low-water areas [6,7]. This study was conducted to review the parasite prevalence in different WWTPs and assess their removal efficiency. Methods: ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases and other sites with the ability to receive a full-text related articles, were reviewed Various keywords such as parasites, wastewater, effluent, treatment efficiency, protozoan cysts, parasitic eggs, and similar keywords were used to search articles published from 2005 to 2019.
