| Abstract [eng] |
Introduction. The global climate change crisis is inevitably linked to water 1. It is estimated that water resources are expected to decrease by 20% by 2070 2. Water shortage in particular periods is already an existing problem. 1 In addition, effluent agricultural water contains hazardous substances like pesticides. Unfortunately, these substances along with rainwater reach ground water. 3 During crop production, they end up in agricultural equipment which is normally cleaned right after use. Thus, rinse water which is released during the cleaning process containing pesticide substances can reach ground water through leaching by polluting the surrounding environment. If water is collected for secondary reuse, without the appropriate treatment it could affect the ecosystems. Aim of this work – to investigate the pesticide removal efficiency of biofiltration based wastewater treatment technology on agriculture machinery rinse water treatment. |
