AB  - A wastewater treatment plant may receive various types of wastewater namely, 
      urban, industrial, agricultural, washout from the streets, wet or/and dry 
      atmospheric deposition. As such, scientists have detected in wastewaters all 
      major categories of pollutants like persistent organic pollutants (POPs), 
      polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and pesticides, but also substances that 
      are widely used as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, classified as "PPCPs" 
      (pharmaceuticals and personal care products). Finally, the latest categories of 
      compounds to be looked upon in these types of matrices are illicit drugs (drugs 
      of abuse, like cocaine, etc.) and doping substances. This review article 
      summarises major categories of organic microcontaminants that have been detected 
      in wastewaters and studies their fate during the wastewater treatment process. 
      Occurrence of these compounds in the influents and effluents are reported, as 
      well as percents of removal, mass balances and phase distributions.
