Article Synopsis
- The paper introduces a fuzzy logic-based methodology to evaluate the risk of water pollutants from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), focusing on handling uncertainty in environmental data.
- The study analyzed pollution data from 22 WWTPs in Catalonia, identifying key contaminants such as nickel, diuron, and endocrine disruptors like nonyl and octylphenol, with most pollutants posing medium or low risks.
- The fuzzy logic approach proved to be more conservative than the established COMMPS procedure, incorporating expert weightings and accounting for chemical persistence, while still aligning closely with COMMPS findings.
