Techniques Used for Metals' Analysis of Organic Compounds in Wastewater, Greywater and Rainwater: A Brief Review

Abstract

Water recycling is a sustainable way of managing water resources because of the large consumption of fresh water in the world caused by population growth, urbanization, and industrial development. However, the reuse of freshwater requires serious care due to the appearance of contaminants after its use, such as active chemicals, micropollutants, and pharmaceutical products. This study presents a systematic review of articles that includes terms of techniques used to assess metals and organic compounds in wastewater samples (a combination of effluents and water originated from bathrooms, showers, and kitchen sinks, and rainwater between the years 2000 and 2020).
