This study describes the works realised on the monitoring of concentrations of two families of emerging pollutant (alkylphenols and phthalates) during the different stage of treatment in the Seine Centre wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The results showed that, although WWTPs are not designed to reduce pollution of micropollutants, the majority of alkylphenols and phthalates were significantly lowered. Moreover, the efficiency of a new unit using activated carbon was also monitored as well as sludge at the different stages of their treatment.
