TLDR
Field data confirms that amoxicillin is more prone to degradation with respect to other antibiotics and Estrone and 17-β estradiol are converted to estriol by natural processes in surface water.About:

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the freshwater aquatic environment
Anekwe Jennifer Ebele,Mohamed Abou-Elwafa Abdallah,Mohamed Abou-Elwafa Abdallah,Stuart Harrad +3 more
TL;DR: A review of the current state-of-the-art on PPCPs in the freshwater aquatic environment is presented in this article, where the environmental risk posed by these contaminants is evaluated in light of the persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on environmental monitoring of water organic pollutants identified by EU guidelines
TL;DR: Most frequent substances as well as those found at highest concentrations in different seasons and regions, together with available risk assessment data, may be useful to identify possible future PS candidates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of 17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2) in the environment and effect on exposed biota: a review
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the science regarding EE2, the concentration levels in the environment (water, sediment and biota) and summarize the effects of this compound on exposed biota at various concentrations, stage life, sex, and species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products found in the Great Lakes above concentrations of environmental concern.
TL;DR: The concentrations found in this study, and their corresponding risk quotient, indicate a significant threat by PPCPs to the health of the Great Lakes, particularly near shore organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging contaminants of public health significance as water quality indicator compounds in the urban water cycle.
TL;DR: The structure of the UWC is researched in details and the routes by which the water cycle is increasingly contaminated with compounds generated from various anthropogenic activities are investigated.

Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic wastewater contaminants in U.S. streams, 1999-2000: a national reconnaissance.
Dana W. Kolpin,Edward T. Furlong,Michael T. Meyer,E. Michael Thurman,Steven D. Zaugg,Larry B. Barber,Herbert T. Buxton +6 more
TL;DR: The U.S. Geological Survey used five newly developed analytical methods to measure concentrations of 95 organic wastewater contaminants (OWCs) in water samples from a network of 139 streams across 30 states during 1999 and 2000 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotics in the aquatic environment - A review - Part II
TL;DR: This review brings up important questions that are still open, and addresses some significant issues which must be tackled in the future for a better understanding of the behavior of antibiotics in the environment, as well as the risks associated with their occurrence.

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
Estrogenic activity of surfactants and some of their degradation products assessed using a recombinant yeast screen
TL;DR: An estrogen-inducible screen was developed in yeast in order to assess whether surfactants and their major degradation products are estrogenic, and one class of surfactant classes degrade to persistent metabolites that were weakly estrogenic.

Vitellogenesis as a biomarker for estrogenic contamination of the aquatic environment.
John P. Sumpter,Susan Jobling +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that effluent from sewage treatment works contains a chemical, or mixture of chemicals, that induces vitellogenin synthesis in male fish maintained in the effluent, thus indicating that the effluents is estrogenic.
