Nature-Based Treatment Technologies For Personal Care Product Ingredient Removal

Abstract

As a consequence of technological advancement and the essential for wastewater treatment systems with low operating costs, we have created environmentally driven treatment methods to mitigate environmental concerns. Conventional technology has shown to be resource intensive, capital-intensive, energy-intensive, highly automated, and labor-intensive. It is also successful in removing pollutants from wastewater. Since then, a more trustworthy and cost-effective method has emerged, one that takes use of organic matter, plants found in their natural environments, and sunlight³⁷. This research compared the effectiveness of the standard treatment system with that of a thin Film Diffuse Gradient sampler to look into the frequency of occurrence of organic pollutants.
