Journal ArticleDOI
A review on the occurrence of micropollutants in the aquatic environment and their fate and removal during wastewater treatment
Yunlong Luo,Wenshan Guo,Huu Hao Ngo,Long D. Nghiem,Faisal I. Hai,Jian Zhang,Shuang Liang,Xiaochang C. Wang +7 more
TL;DR: This review provides a summary of the recent occurrence of micropollutants in the aquatic environment including sewage, surface water, groundwater and drinking water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence, sources, and fate of pharmaceuticals in aquatic environment and soil.
TL;DR: This paper summarized and reviewed the recent studies on the sources, occurrence, fate and the effects of the most common pharmaceuticals and gave the suggestion and risk management for controlling the pharmaceuticals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and fate of emerging contaminants in water environment: A review
Anindita Gogoi,Payal Mazumder,Vinay Kumar Tyagi,G. G. Tushara Chaminda,Alicia Kyoungjin An,Manish Kumar +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed existing research that provides reliable and quantitative information on pharmaceuticals, personal care products (PCPs), endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), pharmaceuticals (PhACs) and their transformation products, whose occurrence at trace levels in treated wastewater is of concern for human health and the aquatic ecosystem.

TL;DR: This work critically reviews the papers available in scientific literature on consolidated (ozonation, AC and membranes) and new advanced treatment methods (mainly AOPs) to analyse their efficiency in the removal of CECs from wastewater.
Environmental toxicology and risk assessment of pharmaceuticals from hospital wastewater
Beate I. Escher,Rebekka Baumgartner,M. Koller,Karin Treyer,Judit Lienert,Christa S. McArdell +5 more
TL;DR: Because high-risk pharmaceuticals are excreted mainly with feces, urine source separation is not a viable option for reducing the risk potential from hospital wastewater, while a sorption step could be beneficial.

Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidation of pharmaceuticals during ozonation and advanced oxidation processes
TL;DR: It could be shown that the second-order rate constants determined in pure aqueous solution could be applied to predict the behavior of pharmaceuticals dissolved in natural waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate of endocrine-disruptor, pharmaceutical, and personal care product chemicals during simulated drinking water treatment processes.
TL;DR: Conventional treatment would have low removal of many EDC/PPCPs, while addition of PAC and/or ozone could substantially improve their removals, and existing strategies that predict relative removal of herbicides, pesticides, and other organic pollutants can be directly applied.

TL;DR: In addition to ozonation, filtration with granular activated carbon (GAC) was very effective in removing pharmaceuticals.

Role of membranes and activated carbon in the removal of endocrine disruptors and pharmaceuticals
Shane A. Snyder,Samer Adham,Adam M. Redding,Fred S. Cannon,James DeCarolis,Joan Oppenheimer,Eric C. Wert,Yeomin Yoon +7 more
TL;DR: Findings confirm that membrane and carbon processes are capable of greatly reducing the concentrations of emerging contaminants; however, several compounds are detectable in membrane permeate and carbon effluent.

Ozonation: a tool for removal of pharmaceuticals, contrast media and musk fragrances from wastewater?
Thomas A. Ternes,Jeannette Stüber,Nadine Herrmann,Derek McDowell,Achim Ried,Martin Kampmann,Bernhard Teiser +6 more
TL;DR: A pilot plant for ozonation and UV-disinfection received effluent from a German municipal sewage treatment plant (STP) to test the removal of pharmaceuticals, iodinated X-ray contrast media (ICM) and musk fragrances from municipal wastewater, finding that advanced oxidation processes did not lead significantly to a higher removal efficiency for the ICM than ozone alone.
