Terrestrial ecotoxicity corresponds to the release of effluent and toxic gases in air, land, and waterbodies. Higher energy consumption results in the release of higher concentration of Arsenic and Chromium into the environment due to its presence in coal. These pollutants when enter the food web results in bioaccumulation. Conventional WW treatment (Scenario-I) corresponds to a terrestrial ecotoxicity levels of 386 g 1,4-DCB. When compared with conventional WW treatment, MFC (Scenario-II) reported a 580% reduction (Figure ). Other pilot-level studies on nutrient recovery reported a terrestrial ecotoxicity levels of 1000 -5000 g 1,4-DCB for treating 1 m 3 of WW (Rufí-Salís et al., 2020).
