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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the effects of emerging contaminants in wastewater and options for their removal
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of activated carbon, oxidation, activated sludge, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes, and their efficiencies in removal of these pollutants, are reviewed.

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs): a review on environmental contamination in China.
TL;DR: It has been concluded that more contamination information of aquatic environment and wildlife as well as human body burden of PPCPs in different areas of China is urgent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pharmaceutical chemicals and endocrine disrupters in municipal wastewater in Tokyo and their removal during activated sludge treatment.
TL;DR: This is the first paper to report ubiquitous occurrence of crotamiton, a scabicide, in sewage and it is a promising molecular marker of sewage and secondary effluent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal mechanisms for endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in wastewater treatment — physical means, biodegradation, and chemical advanced oxidation: A review
TL;DR: Removal of EDCs from three aspects is reviewed, that is, physical means, biodegradation, and chemical advanced oxidation (CAO).

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.

Widespread Sexual Disruption in Wild Fish
TL;DR: This paper demonstrates a high incidence of intersexuality in wild populations of riverine fish (roach; Rutilus rutilus) throughout the United Kingdom and indicates that reproductive and developmental effects do result from exposure to ambient levels of chemicals present in typical British rivers.

Estrogenic Effects of Effluents from Sewage Treatment Works
TL;DR: The presence of vitellogenin in the plasma is indicative of estrogenic stimulation of the liver in oviparous fish, and rose rapidly and very markedly when trout were maintained in the effluent.
