High hopes were once placed in slow filters as final or polishing purification plant. However, their biological action is not effective in eliminating all micropollutants (phenols, detergents, pesticides); they can, for example, only remove about 50 % of organochlorinated pesticides. Slow filtration is therefore not a satisfactory polishing process. 1, record 2, English, - polishing%20process

Certains fondaient de bons espoirs sur les filtres lents comme moyen d'affinage. Mais leur action biologique ne permet pas d'éliminer tous les micropolluants (phénols, détergents, pesticides); ainsi, le rendement d'élimination des pesticides organochlorés n'est que de 50% environ. La filtration lente est donc un procédé d'affinage notoirement insuffisant. 1, record 2, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20d%27affinage
