Analysis of water quality parameters and pharmaceutical trace substances for different solid fractions in a combined sewer.

Abstract

The wastewater composition was determined at a combined sewer of the city of Dresden using in situ UV-Vis measurement technology, referenced by wet-chemical analysis of collected samples and additionally a determination of pharmaceutical trace substances was carried out.

This data set was used for the publication of the doctoral thesis "Multiparameteranalyse und pharmazeutische Spurenstoffuntersuchung im Mischwasserkanal" of Stefan Grüner. (link: https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:bsz:14-qucosa2-793815).

The aim of this work was to extend the system understanding of wastewater composition beyond the standard analytical parameters by using in situ UV-Vis measurement techniques, enhanced by the determination of pharmaceutical trace substances for different solid fractions.
