Thanks very much for the reviewer. The conclusion has been revised according to the reviewer’s suggestion. The added paragraph in the revised manuscript is as follow: To sum up, the results show that the proposed BAC-UF system can be effective in the treatment of river water polluted by PPCPs, conventional organic pollutants and ammonia nitrogen. Besides, the results of this analysis can have significant implications for the conventional UF operation procedure and the ozone-activated carbon process, providing a simple decentralized approach to drinking water treatment for the areas where source water is contaminated with PPCPs.
