Biodegradation and removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in treatment systems: a review.
TLDR
The extent of PPCP removal observed in wastewater treatment and water recycling processes is summarized in these various systems.Abstract:
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) have been the focus of much recent research as concerns rise about their occurrence in bodies of water worldwide. In an effort to characterize the risk and determine the prevalence of these micropollutants in lakes and rivers, many researchers are examining PPCP removal from impaired water during wastewater treatment and water recycling (soil passage) processes. Biodegradation studies and projects considering combinations of biodegradation and other removal processes have been conducted over a wide range of compound categories and therapeutic classes, as well as across different systems and scales of study. This review summarizes the extent of PPCP removal observed in these various systems.read more

Occurrence of pharmaceutical compounds in urban wastewater: Removal, mass load and environmental risk after a secondary treatment—A review
TL;DR: This analysis shows that the highest amounts discharged through secondary effluent pertain to one antihypertensive, and several beta-blockers and analgesics/anti-inflammatories, while the highest risk is posed by antibiotics and several psychiatric drugs and analgesic/ anti- inflammatories.

Pharmaceuticals of Emerging Concern in Aquatic Systems: Chemistry, Occurrence, Effects, and Removal Methods.
TL;DR: Adsorption technologies are a low-cost alternative, easily used in developing countries where there is a dearth of advanced technologies, skilled personnel, and available capital, and adsorption appears to be the most broadly feasible pharmaceutical removal method.

Treatment of micropollutants in municipal wastewater: Ozone or powdered activated carbon?
Jonas Margot,Cornelia Kienle,Anoys Magnet,Mirco Weil,Luca Rossi,Luiz Felippe De Alencastro,Christian Abegglen,Denis Thonney,Nathalie Chèvre,Michael Schärer,David Andrew Barry +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two large-scale pilot advanced wastewater treatments were tested in parallel over more than one year at the municipal WWTP of Lausanne, Switzerland, and the results showed that the PAC-UF treatment, despite its current higher cost, was the most suitable option, enabling good removal of most micropollutants and macropolutants without forming problematic by-products, the strongest decrease in toxicity and a total disinfection of the effluent.
