Nutrients. Phosphorus, nitrogen and other chemical nutrients found in wastewater can damage lakes and rivers. These nutrients need to be changed into less harmful substances or removed before being released into the environment. Toxic Chemicals. Sometimes wastewater contains hazardous chemicals (from industry, pesticides, etc.). Controlling these chemicals may require pretreatment of wastewater by industries and the use of advanced (tertiary) treatment methods at the wastewater treatment plant.
