Depending on their applications and local management routines, many of these may eventually end up in domestic
wastewaters that enter wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). For some of these, e.g., PPCPs, the concentrations in
influent wastewaters may be generally predicted from national wholesale and usage statistics, if such are available [2].
However, a range of institutional, social, and cultural factors influence the use patterns as well as management practices,
and the concentrations will vary with place and time. In this chapter, we discuss their fate during treatments that
are typically applied in conventional WWTPs. Only data from full-scale WWTPs treating municipal wastewater were
considered. We discuss this in relation to the chemical-physical properties of the different compounds and the operating
conditions typically applied. We also compare the expected fate, based on SimpleTreat model [3], to what has
been observed and reported from real full-scale WWTPs.
