This study evaluated the removal of multiple pollutants, i.e., polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), novel halogenated flame retardants (HFRs), sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs), and heavy metals (HMs), by a full-scale reversed A²/O process in a sewage treatment plant (STP) in Guangzhou, China. The reversed A²/O process demonstrated high removal efficiencies (REs) for total PBDEs (60.5%±4.3%), novel HFRs (98.4%±2.8%) and HMs (70.1%±1.2%), and a relatively low RE for SAs (25.0%±2.3%). BDE 209, the dominant PBDE congener, showed a high residual concentration (13.41±5.18 ng/L) in the suspended particulate matter (SPM) of treated effluents. Some novel HFRs, dechlorane plus (DP) and decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE), were detected in the SPM of the raw sewage (7.50±4.14 ng/L and 11.52±11.65 ng/L, respectively). The removal of SAs was mainly through biodegradation in the activated sludge bioreactors(ASBs).Of the HMs, Mn and Ni exhibited the lowest REs (47.5%±2.2% and 35.0%±2.6%, respectively), while Cr and Cu showed the highest removal (REs > 80%). In terms of treatment units in the reversed A²/O process, ASBs showed the highest RE (27.8%) for the multiple pollutants. The information can aid in our understanding of removal properties of STPs on various pollutants and evaluating the ecological/health risks of STPs as point pollutant sources.
