Journal ArticleDOI

Environmental risk assessment of pharmaceutical residues in wastewater effluents, surface waters and sediments.

TL;DR: RQ was applied as a novel approach to estimate the environmental risk of pharmaceuticals that are most frequently detected in wastewater effluents, surface waters and sediments and its continuous introduction in the environment may make them "pseudopersistents".
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence of emerging pollutants in urban wastewater and their removal through biological treatment followed by ozonation.

TL;DR: The results showed that paraxanthine, caffeine and acetaminophen were the main individual pollutants usually found in concentrations over 20 ppb, and the hydroxyl radical reaction was the major pathway for the oxidative transformation of these compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pilot survey monitoring pharmaceuticals and related compounds in a sewage treatment plant located on the Mediterranean coast.

TL;DR: An SPE/GC-MS multi-residue analytical method was developed and validated to facilitate simultaneous determination of these compounds in both influent and effluent wastewater and provided mean recoveries higher than 75%, with the exception of 2,7/2,8-dichlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, dipyrone and permethrin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of pharmaceuticals of various therapeutic classes by solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis in hospital effluent wastewaters.

TL;DR: A multi-residue analytical method has been developed and validated for determining a selection of 16 pharmaceuticals: the anti-epileptic carbamazepine, seven analgesic/anti-inflammatory drugs, the analgesic opiate codeine, two antidepressants, beta-blockers, and antibiotic in hospital effluent wastewater samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pesticide chemical oxidation: state-of-the-art.

TL;DR: In this article, various currently used chemical oxidation processes (AOPs) for pesticide elimination from wastewater are reported, including Heterogeneous TiO 2 photocatalysis, ozonation and photo-Fenton's reagent.
