Pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment: a critical review of the evidence for health effects in fish.
TL;DR: The authors review the current data on the presence and reported biological effects in fish of some of the most commonly detected pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment; namely nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), fibrates, β-blockers, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), azoles, and antibiotics.

Review of photochemical reaction constants of organic micropollutants required for UV advanced oxidation processes in water.
B.A. Wols,C.H.M. Hofman-Caris +1 more
TL;DR: In this review, an overview is provided of the photochemical reaction parameters (quantum yield, molar absorption, OH radical reaction rate constant) of more than 100 organic micropollutants that allow for a prediction of organic contaminant removal by UV advanced oxidation systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of what is an emerging contaminant
TL;DR: A review is presented of how one defines emerging contaminants and what can be included in that group of contaminants which is preferably termed “contaminants of emerging concern”.

Identification of Estrogenic Chemicals in STW Effluent. 2. In Vivo Responses in Trout and Roach
TL;DR: The occurrence of certain natural and synthetic steroidal estrogens in the final effluent from STW has been demonstrated and the response of adult male and female roach following exposure to 17β-estradiol was compared to the response to the alkylphenolic xenoestrogen.
