Microplastics (MPs) from households, stormwaters and various industries are transported to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) where a high proportion of them are captured before discharging their residuals to watersheds. Although recent studies have indicated that the removed MPs are mainly retained in wastewater sludge, sludge treatment processes have gained less attention in MP research compared to water streams at primary, secondary and tertiary treatments. In this study, we sampled twelve different phases in a tertiary-level municipal WWTP in Central Finland. Our results showed that compared to plant influent load, three times higher number of MPs was circulating via reject water from the sludge centrifugation back to the beginning of the treatment process. Especially fibrous MPs were trapped in the dewatered sludge whereas fragment-like MPs were transported in aqueous stream. We concluded that sludge treatment is the main exit route for MPs into environment but also a return loop to the beginning of the process. Our sampling campaign also demonstrated that WWTPs with varying hydraulic conditions, such as the one studied here, benefit from disc filter based tertiary treatments in MP removal.

Perceived improvement in vocal performance following tertiary-level classical vocal training: do listeners hear systematic progress?
Mitchell, Helen F.; Kenny, Dianna T.; Ryan, Maree (2010)This study assessed expert listeners' perceptual evaluations of the vocal performances of tertiary level classical singing students over two complete years of training. Fifteen singers sang Caccini's Amarilli, mia bella ... -
Optical Monitoring of Microplastics Filtrated from Wastewater Sludge and Suspended in Ethanol
Asamoah, Benjamin O.; Salmi, Pauliina; Räty, Jukka; Ryymin, Kalle; Talvitie, Julia; Karjalainen, Anna K.; Kukkonen, Jussi V. K.; Roussey, Matthieu; Peiponen, Kai-Erik (MDPI, 2021)The abundance of microplastics (MPs) in the atmosphere, on land, and especially in water bodies is well acknowledged. In this study, we establish an optical method based on three different techniques, namely, specular ... -
Original data for article: Responses of a native plant species from invaded and uninvaded areas to allelopathic effects of an invader
Lyytinen, Anne; Lindström, Leena (University of Jyväskylä, Open Science Centre. jyx@jyu.fi, 2019)Invaders exert new selection pressures on the resident species e.g. through competition for resources or by using novel weapons. It has been shown that novel weapons aid invasion but it is unclear whether native species ...
