Clocaleff concentration of substance in the STP effluent [mg . l -1 ]<br />

If no specific data are known, EFFLUENTstp should be based on an averaged wastewater flow of<br />

200 l per capita per day <strong>for</strong> a population of 10,000 inhabitants (see Table 9):<br />

EFFLUENTstp effluent discharge rate of STP [l . d -1 ]<br />

For calculating the PEC in surface water without sewage treatment, the fraction of the emission<br />

to wastewater, directed to effluent (Fstpwater) should be set to 1. The fractions to air <strong>and</strong> sludge<br />

(Fstpair <strong>and</strong> Fstpsludge resp.) should be set to zero.<br />

Calculation of the emission to air from the STP<br />

The indirect emission from the STP to air is given by the fraction of the emission to wastewater,<br />

which is directed to air:<br />

Calculation of the STP sludge concentration<br />

The concentration in dry sewage sludge is calculated from the emission rate to water, the<br />

fraction of the emission sorbed to sludge <strong>and</strong> the rate of sewage sludge production:<br />
