Allt eftersom vår förståelse om vår egen miljöpåverkan förändras, så förändras också begräns- ningsstrategierna vi använder för att förhindra och motverka dem. En viktig källa till antropo- gena utsläpp är avloppsvatten eftersom det innehåller patogener, näringsämnen, och mikroför- oreningar. Ett skifte mot källsorterat avloppsvatten under de senaste åren har öppnat dörren för att anpassa och fokuAs our understanding of the impact humans have on the environment changes, so too do the mitigation strategies we employ to prevent it. One major source of anthropogenic pollution is wastewater effluent. A shift towards source separation of wastewater into different streams in recent years has opened a door to tailor treatment to specific types of water. The largest propor- tion of domestic wastew
