their metabolites present in water bodies.
• Disturbs marine ecosystem.
• Fishes and other aquatic animals become unfit for eating.

Some pharmaceuticals can seep into

groundwater.
• Makes groundwater unfit for drinking and other purposes.
• Dangerous for plants and trees.

Antibiotics found in these waste waters raise

great concerns.
• Possible rise of antibiotic-resistance organisms.

 Ozone or hydrogen peroxide can be used to
oxidize the dissolved molecules & compounds(
like iron,arsenic,suplhur) into insoluble metal
oxides.

Ozone can also remove bad odor from the

water.

Removal of microplastics (plastics

less than 5 mm.) can be achieved by
a very cost effective method of using
an assembled stack of sieves with
mesh sizes between 400 and 45 μm
and finally skimming the settled
water with a mesh of 125 μm sieve.

This method doesn’t even require a

hgihly skilled worker.
