However, hazardous and infectious effluents are disposed of into freshwater resources such as rivers and lakes generally in developing countries due to incomplete removal. Thus, in addition to ECs, it is imperative to treat sewage appropriately before disposal. ECs can be broadly categorized in the following classes: pharmaceuticals, personal care products (PCPs), nanomaterials, and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs).
