After ingestion, the substance passes through the organism unchanged. Consequently, it enters the systems of WWTP without decomposing biologically during the waste treatment process, nor does it attach (through sorption) to particles of activated sludge to any significant extent, therefore, it passes through the system of a WWTP, which may cause the substance to accumulate in the natural environment. For this reason the paper investigates the potential to initiate aerobic biodegradation of PVP in the presence of activated sludge. The following agents were selected as the initiators of the biodegradation process - co-substrates: acrylamide, N-acethylphenylalanine and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Even though there was no occurrence of a significant increase in the biodegradation of PVP alone in the presence of a co-substrate."@en . . "Kupec, Jan" . .
