Journal ArticleDOI

The removal of pharmaceuticals, personal care products, endocrine disruptors and illicit drugs during wastewater treatment and its impact on the quality of receiving waters.

TL;DR: Treated wastewater effluents were the main contributors to PPCPs concentrations in the rivers studied, and the effect of WWTP effluent on the quality of river water is significant and cannot be underestimated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The occurrence of pharmaceuticals, personal care products, endocrine disruptors and illicit drugs in surface water in South Wales, UK.

TL;DR: Most PPCPs were frequently found in river water at concentrations reaching single microgL(-1) and their levels depended mainly on the extent of water dilution resulting from rainfall, while the illicit drugs studied were found in rivers at low levels of ng L(-1).
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-residue method for the determination of basic/neutral pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs in surface water by solid-phase extraction and ultra performance liquid chromatography - positive electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry

TL;DR: A fast and cost-effective method for the determination of pharmaceuticals in Rivers Taff (UK) and Warta (Poland) with the usage of a new technique: ultra performance liquid chromatography-positive electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiresidue methods for the analysis of pharmaceuticals, personal care products and illicit drugs in surface water and wastewater by solid-phase extraction and ultra performance liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry.

TL;DR: The main aim of the presented research is to introduce a new technique, ultra performance liquid chromatography–positive/negative electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–ESI/MS/MS), for the development of new simultaneous multiresidue methods (over 50 compounds).
