"Attenuation of Wastewater-Derived Contaminants in an Effluent-Dominated River." Environ. Sci. Technol., 40 (23), 7257 -7262.http://hdl.handle.net/2152/4053To assess attenuation rates under conditions encountered in such systems, samples from the Trinity River were analyzed for a suite of wastewater-derived contaminants during a period when wastewater effluent accounted for nearly the entire flow of the river over a travel time of approximately 2 weeks. Results of this study indicate that natural attenuation can result in significant decreases in concentrations of wastewater-derived contaminants in large rivers.municipal wastewaterbiotransformationcontaminant attenuationwater qualityArticle
