Ecotechnologies for wastewater treatment (EWWT) have been used as a
cost-effective alternative to conventional wastewater treatment
methods for improving the removal of organic carbon, nutrients and
pathogenic microorganisms from wastewater. However, due to
biochemical transformations of organic matter and nutrients EWWT
are net sources of CO2, CH4 and N2O greenhouse gases (GHGs), which
may be transferred into the atmosphere contributing to global
warming. Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Ecotechnologies for
Wastewater Treatment provides scientific information about
greenhouse gas, such as CO2, CH4 and N2O, generation and emissions
from different municipal EWWT. The main EWWT considered in this
book are anaerobic ponds, facultative ponds, duckweed-based ponds,
and a freshwater natural wetland perturbed by anthropogenic
activities such as wastewater discharge and nutrients from
agricultural run-off. The book includes a full literature review of
recent publications about GHGs emissions from EWWT. It also
introduces the calculation of GHGs flux using a static chamber
technique. Besides, the book presents information on the influence
of environmental factors such as temperature, pH, DO, and nutrients
on GHG emissions produced in EWWT under tropical conditions. This
book will be a useful reference for researches and students
interested in the broader area of water and climate change
subjects. The publication may also be of interest to policy makers
concerned with climate change, water sector planning, and
wastewater treatment.
