Concentration Data
This page gives a first impression of the concentrations condition in the european surface water. These data show that our water is contaminated with several micro-contaminants. Some of them are found in a terrifying concentration in treated wastewater.
Micro-contaminants concentration of sewage effluent and surface water
This assay results were collected by the State Agency for Environment, Nature Conservation and Geology Mecklenburg-Vorpommern from the time period 2008-2010. Measured data from watersamples of sewage treatment plants and surface waters are shown as part of a study ordered by the Federal Environment Agency (UBA-Germany).

Finding of a cooperating sewage treatment plan
This micro-contaminant concentration are found in the clarifyed sewage water of the central sewage treatment plant of the city Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock (Germany) on 31.05.2012. The different micro-contaminants were detected by liquidchromatography-massspectroscopy (LC-MS) or liquidchromatography-massspectroscopy-massspectroscopy (LC-MS-MS).
