Journal ArticleDOI
Ranking and prioritization of environmental risks of pharmaceuticals in surface waters.
Hans Sanderson,David J. Johnson,Tamara S Reitsma,Richard A. Brain,Christian J. Wilson,Keith R. Solomon +5 more
TL;DR: Cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, antiviral, anxiolytic sedatives hypnotics and antipsychotics, corticosteroid, and thyroid pharmaceuticals were the predicted most hazardous therapeutic classes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probabilistic hazard assessment of environmentally occurring pharmaceuticals toxicity to fish, daphnids and algae by ECOSAR screening.
TL;DR: (Q)SAR's can be important prioritization tools for subsequent experimental risk assessment of pharmaceuticals in surface waters, due to the prevalent lack of ecotoxicological data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of 25 pharmaceutical compounds to Lemna gibba using a seven-day static-renewal test.
Richard A. Brain,David J. Johnson,Sean M. Richards,Hans Sanderson,Paul K. Sibley,Keith R. Solomon +5 more
TL;DR: Injury symptoms were comparatively uniform and consistent among chemical classes while degree of phytotoxicity varied considerably; both of these criteria varied markedly between classes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aquatic persistence of eight pharmaceuticals in a microcosm study
Monica W. Lam,Cora J. Young,Richard A. Brain,David J. Johnson,Mark A. Hanson,Christian J. Wilson,Sean M. Richards,Keith R. Solomon,Scott A. Mabury +8 more
TL;DR: No significant differences were observed between measured half‐lives of the pharmaceuticals in sunlight‐exposed pond water and autoclaved pond water, which suggests photode degradation was important in limiting their persistence, and biodegradation was not an important loss process in surface water over the duration of the study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity classification and evaluation of four pharmaceuticals classes: antibiotics, antineoplastics, cardiovascular, and sex hormones
TL;DR: Q)SARs and pharmacodynamic information should be used to prioritize and steer experimental risk assessments of pharmaceuticals, and potentially, also be used in new drug discovery optimizing efficacy and in minimising environmental hazards of new products.
