In 2 2 Environment Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE), and the City of Toronto embarked on a large-scale collaborative wastewater research study to generate information for development of risk management strategies to control the release of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) into the Canadian environment. This study included several facets: development of analytical methods to detect PPCPs in wastewater and sludge; surveys of PPCPs in wastewater treatment plant influents, effluents, and sludges; comparison of conventional activated sludge (CAS) and innovative wastewater treatment processes for PPCP removal from wastewater; and controlled bench-scale studies. The project took place in the Thames River and Grand River watersheds, and near a large wastewater treatment plant discharging into Lake Ontario.
