| Description | An assessment of human health risks posed by municipal wastewater treatment using constructed wetlands involves delineating pathogen content of inflowing water, degree of removal/inactivation of pathogens in wetland environments, and level of exposure of receptor (human) population to treated wastewaters. Four groups of pathogens (viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and worms) may cause human waterborne diseases. Since most excreta-related diseases in North America are caused by bacteria and viruses, this chapter will focus on use of constructed wetlands to reduce human health risks associated with these two groups.
