Abstract
This report summarizes the potential health effects from viable emissions and toxins associated with wastewater treatment plants and land application facilities to the workers and nearby populations. The different types of microorganisms present in wastewater and sludge and the effectiveness of the various treatment processes in their removal or inactivation is discussed briefly. The monitoring of microorganisms and toxins in aerosols generated at wastewater treatment plants and land application sites, the disadvantages in using coliform organisms as indicators to represent the actual levels of pathogenic microorganisms in aerosols, and the various mathematical models that are used to predict the microorganism levels in aerosols are also reviewed. The levels of microorganisms detected in aerosols at wastewater treatment plants and land application facilities from some of the recent studies are presented.
