Résumé
Health care facilities can represent point sources for pharmaceutical residues in public sewer systems. Compared to general hospitals, more specialized health care facilities might also have a different pattern of medication. Therefore, the on-site treatment of wastewater from such facilities could be an effective strategy to reduce emissions into water bodies and was the aim of this study. Wastewater from three health care facilities (nursing home, clinic with orthopaedic focus, and psychiatric clinic) was treated in lab-scale and semi-industrial trials. Biological treatment was performed via an ultrafiltration membrane bioreactor (UF-MBR), after which adsorption onto granular activated carbon (using rapid-small-scale column tests GAC-RSSCT), ozonation and a UV/H
