abstract = {Effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are widely recognized as the main source of emerging contaminants (stimulants and antibiotics). In this study, intermittent sand and/or coke filters were installed as a tertiary treatment at the outlet of a secondary settling tank at the WWTP in Medina Sidonia, Spain. Regular sampling followed by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and analysis by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) showed the complete removal of the concentrations of the emerging contaminants (caffeine, theobromine, theophylline, amoxicillin and penicillin G). Moreover, optimal filtration conditions for the reuse of treated water were presented.},
