| Resumo: | Sewage treatment has been an important issue for public health and for environmental pollution control. It is necessary totake into account that the elements present in urban and industrial wastewater have microbiological components and also have differentchemical compounds that can affect human health. Among those chemical constituents, heavy metals present in the wastewater cancontaminate the receptor rivers if they are not properly removed, representing a risk for human and environmental health. The presentwork aims to discuss Biological Wastewater Treatment and the need to evaluate heavy metals present in the generated sludge, takinginto account its potential land application for soil quality improvement. Also, Ribeirão Preto’s Wastewater Treatment Station is presentedand its importance for public health and for preservation of hydrological resources in the region is pointed out. |
