TLDR
Several PCPs including triclosan, paraben preservatives, and UV filters have evidence suggesting endocrine effects in aquatic organisms and thus need to be investigated and incorporated in definitive risk assessments.About:

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs): a review on environmental contamination in China.
TL;DR: It has been concluded that more contamination information of aquatic environment and wildlife as well as human body burden of PPCPs in different areas of China is urgent.

Review of risk from potential emerging contaminants in UK groundwater.
TL;DR: The routes by which these compounds enter groundwater, their toxicity and potential risks to drinking water and the environment are discussed, and challenges that need to be met are identified to minimise risk to Drinking water and ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of PPCPs in wastewater treatment plants in Greece: Occurrence, removal and environmental risk assessment
TL;DR: Triclosan was found to be the most critical compound in terms of contribution and environmental risk, concluding that it should be seriously considered as a candidate for regulatory monitoring and prioritization on a European scale on the basis of realistic PNECs.

TL;DR: Present knowledge does not reveal if regular therapeutic use may be the source of a substance carried by sewage effluent into the aquatic system, even though clofibrate, a lipid lowering agent, has been identified in ground and tap water samples from Berlin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecotoxicology of human pharmaceuticals.
TL;DR: It is shown that only very little is known about long-term effects of pharmaceuticals to aquatic organisms, in particular with respect to biological targets, and targeted ecotoxicological studies are needed focusing on subtle environmental effects.

TL;DR: Atenolol, atrazine, DEET, estrone, meprobamate, and trimethoprim can serve as indicator compounds representing potential contamination from other pharmaceuticals and EDCs and can gauge the efficacy of treatment processes.
