Reuse of wastewater is a necessity for all arid and semi-arid regions of the planet. but there are two basic findings in this seemingly simple choice: the higher the need for use, the lower the quality of the treatment criteria, while at the same time as high-tech and efficient as the treatment process is, there are pollutants and contaminants. that can not be removed in a completely satisfactory way such as drugs (mainly human consumption), viruses, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and resistance genes (ARBs & ARGs). But even in areas of the world where reuse is not necessary for maintenance of the mainly agricultural economy (no significant irrigation required) k and therefore the requirements for the final outflow are lower, there is a significant risk from the exact same factors. On an annual basis in Europe, more than 35,000 people die from antibiotic-resistant bacteria, more than 10,000 from deaths in car accidents. Many of these resistant bacteria were created by leaking large amounts of aqueous drug / antibiotic receptors. Effective tackling of the problem is a prerequisite for "Preservation and protection of the environment and risk prevention" (Axis Title 3) and especially for "Improving the efficiency of the use of waste and water resources" (Title Specific Objective. 3.4). The innovative element of the project is of course not the finding of the problem. It is the test on the one hand, of an alternative, which is gaining ground in the scientific community, and on the other a process of its evaluation, in order to determine the real importance and the effect of this solution. This solution is the on-site treatment of wastewater in hot spots where the presence of these substances is expected to be extremely high, such as for example the discharges of hospitals. This action is the main activity of the project, while the realization of an integrated mass balance of pollutants for each of the two areas of action, is expected to give the real importance, need and effectiveness of on-site treatment. In terms of added value of the project, this is related to the possible creation of a new field of activity of the industry dealing with wastewater treatment systems. The on-site treatment of hospital effluents and medicinal effluents in general is in the order of hundreds of millions of euros at European level. (English)
