tailieunhanh - Monitoring and assessing processes of organic chemicals removal in constructed wetlands

The Committee is composed of representatives of the National Standards Bodies in Partner States, together with the representatives from the private sectors and consumer organizations. Draft East African Standards are circulated to stakeholders through the National Standards Bodies in the Partner States. The comments received are discussed and incorporated before finalization of standards, in accordance with the procedures of the Community. East African Standards are subject to review, to keep pace with technological advances. Users of the East African Standards are therefore expected to ensure that they always have the latest versions of the standards they are implementing | Chemosphere 74 2009 349-362 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Chemosphere journal homepage locate chemosphere Review Monitoring and assessing processes of organic chemicals removal in constructed wetlands Gwenael Imfelda Mareike Braeckeveltb Peter Kuschkb Hans H.

This review summarizes the recent progress made towards understanding how the various mechanisms attributed to organic chemicals removal interact to form a functioning wetland. We also discuss the main degradation pathways for different groups of contaminants and examine some of the key characteristics of constructed wetlands that control the removal of organic chemicals. Furthermore we address possible comprehensive approaches and recent techniques to follow up in situ processes within the system especially those involved in the biodegradationprocesses. 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
