TL;DR: WWTP effluent was found to be a significant source of pharmaceutical loading to the receiving waters and Methamphetamine, an illicit pharmaceutical, was detected at all but one of the sampling locations, representing only the second report of methamphetamine detected in WW TP effluent and in streams impacted by WWTP effluents.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the physical chemical properties and mammalian toxicity of compounds that can be used to simulate chemical agents and identified the most appropriate compounds to simulate specific environmental fate processes, including hydrolysis, sorption, bioavailability, and volatilization.

TL;DR: The co-occurrence of veterinary pharmaceutical and steroid hormone contamination in groundwater at these locations and the correlation between pharmaceutical occurrence in lagoon wastewater and hydraulically downgradient groundwater indicates that groundwater underlying some livestock wastewater impoundments is susceptible to contamination by veterinary pharmaceuticals and steroid hormones originating in wastewater lagoons.

TL;DR: This disease continues to emerge in cervids in the United States and Canada and is known to be a sexually transmitted disease.

TL;DR: Broadcast resulted in the highest total mass loading of antimicrobials in runoff from the three rainfall simulation tests, and no clear trend was observed in the ARG levels in soil, likely because different host cells may respond differently to the soil environments created by various land application methods.
