Journal ArticleDOI

Ecotoxicological aspects related to the presence of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment

Lúcia Santos, +5 more
- 15 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: An extensive review of existing data in the form of tables, encompassing many therapeutic classes is presented and the different contamination sources as well as fate and both acute and chronic effects on non-target organisms are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of hospital effluents to the load of pharmaceuticals in urban wastewaters: Identification of ecologically relevant pharmaceuticals

Lúcia Santos, +7 more
- 01 Sep 2013 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of individual contributions of each therapeutic group showed that NSAIDs, analgesics and antibiotics are among the groups with the highest inputs, showing that pharmaceuticals are widespread pollutants in both hospital and urban wastewaters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mercury, cadmium, lead and arsenic levels in three pelagic fish species from the Atlantic Ocean: intra- and inter-specific variability and human health risks for consumption.

Catarina Vieira, +4 more
- 01 Apr 2011 - 
TL;DR: Intra- and inter-specific variability of metals bioaccumulation was statistically assessed and species and length revealed to be the major influencing biometric factors, in particular for mercury and arsenic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Green production of zero-valent iron nanoparticles using tree leaf extracts

Susana Machado, +5 more
- 15 Feb 2013 - 
TL;DR: TEM analysis proves that nZVIs (d=10-20 nm) can be produced using the tree leaf extracts, and the results show that dried leaves produce extracts with higher antioxidant capacities than non-dried leaves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presence of pharmaceuticals in the Lis river (Portugal): Sources, fate and seasonal variation

Paula Paíga, +5 more
- 15 Dec 2016 - 
TL;DR: Findings show that further studies embracing different environmental compartments are needed, in order to evaluate the partition/distribution of pharmaceuticals, their metabolites and transformation products in the environment as well as to predict their possible impact to non-target organisms and, in a last instance, to human health.
