Ozonation and UV254 nm radiation for the removal of microorganisms and antibiotic resistance genes from urban wastewater

Conventional wastewater treatment has a limited capacity to reduce antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes (ARB&ARG). Tertiary treatment processes are promising solutions, although the transitory inactivation of bacteria may select ARB&ARG. This study aimed at assessing the potential of ozon...
