Abstract

This chapter delves into the critical issue of municipal sewage pollution, highlighting its global and Indian impacts. It explores the composition and characteristics of sewage, including emerging pollutants like microplastics and pharmaceuticals, which pose significant risks to both the environment and human health. The text discusses the detrimental effects of sewage on ecosystems, such as eutrophication and the spread of diseases, and the potential benefits of sewage water in agriculture. It also provides an in-depth analysis of conventional and non-conventional treatment methods, including filtration, coagulation, adsorption, disinfection, membrane technology, and advanced oxidation processes. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the importance of sustainable sewage management practices to protect public health and the environment.
