TLDR
Estimation of dietary intake by humans suggested the implied risks from exposure to PPCPs via wastewater irrigation to be negligible, suggesting hydrophilicity-regulated transport via xylems.About:

Dissolved effluent organic matter: Characteristics and potential implications in wastewater treatment and reuse applications.
I. Michael-Kordatou,Costas Michael,Xiaodi Duan,Xuexiang He,Xuexiang He,Dionysios D. Dionysiou,Dionysios D. Dionysiou,Marc A. Mills,Despo Fatta-Kassinos +8 more
TL;DR: The literature findings reveal that dEfOM removal by advanced treatment processes depends on the type and the amount of organic compounds present in the aqueous matrix, as well as the operational parameters and the removal mechanisms taking place during the application of each treatment technology.

TL;DR: This critical review discusses the state of the art on the fate of antibiotics, ARB and ARGs in agricultural environment where RWW is applied for irrigation, and the implications associated with the uptake of antibiotics by plants and the potential risks to public health are highlighted.

Irrigation of Root Vegetables with Treated Wastewater: Evaluating Uptake of Pharmaceuticals and the Associated Human Health Risks
TL;DR: It is highlighted that certain PCs accumulated in edible organs at concentrations above the threshold of toxicological concern should be categorized as contaminants of emerging concern.
Journal ArticleDOI
Root Uptake of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Product Ingredients.
TL;DR: It is found that many processes that are expected to influence PPCP uptake and accumulation have received little study, particularly rhizosphere interactions, in planta transformations, and physicochemical properties beyond lipophilicity (as measured by Kow).

Triclosan exposure, transformation, and human health effects.
Lisa M. Weatherly,Julie A. Gosse +1 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review was to describe TCS exposure routes and levels as well as metabolism and transformation processes, and the burgeoning literature on human health effects associated with T CS exposure, such as reproductive problems, was summarized.

Occurrence and removal of pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors in South Korean surface, drinking, and waste waters.
TL;DR: Conventional drinking water treatment methods were relatively inefficient for contaminant removal, while efficient removal was achieved by granular activated carbon (GAC).In wastewater treatment processes, membrane bioreactors showed limited target compound removal, but were effective at eliminating hormones and some pharmaceuticals.

Relationships between lipophilicity and root uptake and translocation of non-ionised chemicals by barley†
TL;DR: In this article, the uptake by roots from solution, and subsequent translocation to shoots in barley, of two series of non-ionised chemicals, O-methylcarbamoyloximes and substituted phenylureas, were measured, Uptake of the chemicals by roots was greater the more lipophilic the chemical, and fell to a lower limiting value for polar chemicals.

Removal of pharmaceuticals during wastewater treatment and environmental risk assessment using hazard indexes
TL;DR: In a long term study, a total of 84 samples from seven WWTP located in the main cities along the Ebro river Basin as well as receiving river waters were analyzed to assess the occurrence of 73 pharmaceuticals covering several medicinal classes, results indicated that pharmaceuticals are widespread pollutants in the aquatic environmental.

Detoxification of xenobiotics by plants: chemical modification and vacuolar compartmentation
TL;DR: The vacuolar glutathione-conjugate transporter shows functional similarities with an ATP-binding cassette transporter, the multidrug resistance-associated protein, present in drug-tolerant human cancer cells.
