Description:
To assess technological feasibility for reuse of secondary effluent from sewage treatment plant, the effects of raw sewage (RW) water sample and effluents samples from secondary treatment (SS), ultrafiltration treatment after SS (SS-UF), micro-filtration treatment after SS (SS-MF), activated carbon column adsorption after SS (SS-AC), as well as reverse osmosis treatment after SS-UF (SS-UF-RO) were assessed using embryo larval development of Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes). Samples of RW and effluents from secondary treatment were taken from Beixiaohe sewage treatment plant (STP) in Beijing, China. Newly fertilized embryos (
