Abstract
In this research, 20 kinds of pharmaceuticals were measured for the reclaimed wastewater from actual 20 facilities of the combined household wastewater treatment, in order to clarify the characteristics of the pharmaceuticals contamination in the treated wastewater. While 11 kinds of pharmaceuticals were detected, the actual concentrations and the number of facilities having the reclaimed wastewater including the pharmaceuticals were demonstrated. From the results, the significance of the further researches developing the measure for enhancing the pharmaceuticals removal rate in the facilities was pointed out. Keeping the high DO concentration in aeration tank must be the one of the better management practice to depress the pharmaceuticals concentration in the reclaimed wastewater.
