Conclusions
Global water is getting contaminated due to lack of knowledge for water conservation and application of conventional wastewater treatment process which needs to
be resolved urgently to protect the environment and living beings. Currently, the
application of conventional technology for the treatment of wastewater and water
management is backdated which is causing severe environmental pollution and loss
of water. Therefore, removal performance of different WwTPs at various operational
conditions needs to be re-evaluated to conserve and treat water to mitigate water
perplexity throughout the world. Necessarily, further research and sustainable technology are needed to determine the fate and removal of ECs during treatment
sophisticatedly considering its impact across the complete ecosystem and living
beings on earth.
