d. bacterial
Raw sewage contains large amounts of fecal bacteria and pathogens; wastewater treatment (especially secondary treatment and disinfection) greatly reduces bacterial loads. Nutrient removal requires advanced/tertiary treatment, toxicants may persist, and sediment is not the primary pollutant from raw sewage.
