Compounds such as pharmaceuticals, or personal care products are only partially removed in wastewater treatment processes. Large number of these compounds and their degradation products is out of any control. A small number of compounds are covered by legal regulations. Among the compounds non-regulated by law, the target compounds, as well as non-target compounds can be distinguished. In the scientific literature, number of reports on various target compounds' determination is increasingly growing. This paper provides an up-to-date review on micropollutants present in treated wastewater and their concentrations found in literature in the years 2015-2019. Because the obtained results of chemical analyses do not adequately reflect the risks to ecosystems and consequently humans, the results of chemical analyses have been supplemented by a review of ecotoxicological studies. In addition, legal issues linked to contamination of treated wastewater and research related to identification of non-target compounds in treated effluents have been discussed.
化合物，如药品或个人护理产品，仅在废水处理过程中部分去除。大量的这些化合物及其降解产物无法得到控制。少数化合物受到法律法规的约束。在不受法律管制的化合物中，可以区分出目标化合物和非目标化合物。在科学文献中，关于各种目标化合物测定的报告数量正在不断增加。本文综述了 2015-2019 年文献中处理废水中存在的微污染物及其浓度。由于化学分析的结果不能充分反映对生态系统和人类的风险，因此，化学分析的结果已通过对生态毒理学研究的综述进行了补充。此外，还讨论了与处理后废水污染有关的法律问题以及与鉴定处理废水中的非目标化合物有关的研究。
