Project Details
Description of project aims
The Scottish Government is currently considering the extent to which the recast Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (rUWWTD) should be incorporated into Scottish legislation. Article 8 of the rUWWTD requires an 80% reduction of 10 pharmaceutical compounds in wastewater discharged from wastewater treatment plants. The overarching aim of this project is to explore if reductions in pharmaceuticals can be achieved through a One Health approach combining healthcare interventions with wastewater treatment.
