      abstract = {This volume addresses hospital effluents in terms of their  composition and the management and treatment strategies  currently (being) adopted around the globe. In this  context, one major focus is on pharmaceutical compounds:  their observed concentration range, ecotoxicological  effects, and the removal efficiency achieved by the  different technologies. Another focus is on management  strategies (dedicated hospital wastewater treatment, or a  combined approach also involving urban wastewater) and  currently adopted treatments to reduce the released  pollutant load. Innovative and promising technologies under  investigation at the lab and pilot scale are presented. A  discussion of remaining knowledge gaps and future research  requirements rounds out the coverage. The respective  chapters, written by experts in the different fields,  provide useful information for a broad audience: scientists  involved in the management and treatment of hospital  effluents and wastewater containing micropollutants,  administrators and decision-makers, legislators involved in  the authorization and management of healthcare structure  effluents, and environmental engineers involved in the  design of wastewater treatment plants, as well as newcomers  and students interested in these issues.},
