TLDR
The range of PhAC loadings in the influent to WWTPs can vary several orders of magnitude from one day or week to the next, representing a challenge in obtaining data for steady-state modelling purposes.About:

Occurrence and removal of transformation products of PPCPs and illicit drugs in wastewaters: a review.
TL;DR: An extensive literature survey was performed in order to present the current stage of knowledge and progress made in the occurrence of TPs of PPCPs and IDs in raw and treated wastewaters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of personal care products as emerging chemicals of concern in water resources: A review.
TL;DR: Fragrances, antiseptics and sunscreens were the most reported groups and the largest number of PCPs documented as emerging pollutants were found in wastewater treatment plant effluents, compared to 43 in surface water and 23 in groundwater, which evidence the anthropological contribution ofPCPs to water bodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental impact of pharmaceuticals from Portuguese wastewaters: geographical and seasonal occurrence, removal and risk assessment.
TL;DR: The results highlight the importance of these monitoring studies, as required by the Directive 2013/39/EU, in order to minimize their aquatic environmental contamination and support future prioritization measures.

Assessing the removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in a full-scale activated sludge plant
Ricardo Salgado,Ricardo Marques,João Paulo Noronha,Gilda Carvalho,Adrian Oehmen,Maria A.M. Reis +5 more
TL;DR: Results show that incomplete removal of diclofenac, the compound that was found in the highest abundance, was observed via biodegradation and adsorption, and that UV photolysis was the main removal mechanism for this compound.

TL;DR: Investigation in an anaerobic-anoxic-oxic wastewater treatment plant for seven consecutive days using 24-h composite sampling technique found non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and a stimulant were predominant PPCPs in influent whereas antibiotics were predominant in sludge, effluent and suspended solids.

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.

Wastewater Engineering Treatment Disposal Reuse
TL;DR: Wastewater Engineering: An Overview of Wastewater Engineering, Methods and Implementation Considerations as mentioned in this paper is a good starting point for a discussion of the issues of wastewater engineering. But, it is not a complete survey of the entire literature.

Behavior and occurrence of estrogens in municipal sewage treatment plants--I. Investigations in Germany, Canada and Brazil.
TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior and occurrence of natural estrogens and synthetic contraceptives in municipal sewage treatment plants (STP) were investigated in German and Canadian facilities, and the mean recoveries of the analytes in ground water after SPE extraction, clean-up and derivatization generally exceeded 75%.
