Micropollutants emitted by Human activities represent a potential threat to our health and aquatic environment. Thousands of active substances are used and go to WWTP through wastewaters. During water treatment, incomplete elimination occurs. Effluents released to the environment still contain part of the micropollutants present in the influents. Here, we studied the potential impacts on Human health and aquatic environment of the release of 261 organic micropollutants and 25 inorganic micropollutants at the scale of France. Data were gathered from national surveys, reports, papers and PhD works. The USEtox ® model was used to assess potential impacts. The impacts on Human health were estimated for 94 organic and 15 inorganic micropollutants and on aquatic environment for 88 organic and 19 inorganic micropollutants highlighting lack of concentration and toxicological data in literature. Some Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and pesticides as well as As and Zn showed highest potential impacts on Human health. Some pesticides, PCB 101, βE2, Al, Fe and Cu showed highest potential impacts on aquatic environment.
人为排放的微量污染物对人类健康和水生环境构成潜在威胁。数千种活性物质通过废水进入到污水处理厂。在水处理过程中，微量污染物不能完全去除。排放到环境中的污水仍然含有部分进水口存在的微量污染物。在这里，我们研究了在法国范围内，释放 261 种有机微量污染物和 25 种无机微量污染物对人类健康和水生环境的潜在影响。数据来自国家调查、报告、论文和博士论文。使用 USEtox ® 模型评估潜在影响。对 94 种有机微量污染物和 15 种无机微量污染物对人类健康的影响进行了估计，对 88 种有机微量污染物和 19 种无机微量污染物对水生环境的影响进行了估计，突出了文献中缺乏浓度和毒理学数据的问题。一些多环芳烃和农药以及砷和锌对人类健康的潜在影响最大。一些农药、PCB101、βE2、铝、铁和铜对水生环境的潜在影响最大。
