How to avoid pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment.
TL;DR: Urine source separation is an elegant solution to the problems of nutrients and pharmaceuticals alike and losses of untreated pollutants to the environment can be minimized, and the 100-500 times higher concentrations of micropollutants promise more efficient conditions for all removal technologies known from conventional wastewater treatment.

Sorption of triclosan onto activated carbon, kaolinite and montmorillonite: effects of pH, ionic strength, and humic acid.
TL;DR: Though triclosan sorption onto activated carbon is higher, the potential of kaolinite and montmorillonite in controlling the transport of tric Losan in subsurface environment can still be appreciable.

Effect of salinity and sediment characteristics on the sorption and desorption of perfluorooctane sulfonate at sediment-water interface
Chun You,Chengxia Jia,Gang Pan +2 more
TL;DR: The results suggested that PFOS can be largely removed from the water with increasing salinity, and get trapped onto sediments irreversibly, and these phenomena could be explained by salting-out effect and Ca-bridging effect.

AQUATOX: Modeling environmental fate and ecological effects in aquatic ecosystems ☆
TL;DR: AQUATOX as discussed by the authors combines aquatic ecosystem, chemical fate, and ecotoxicological constructs to obtain a truly integrative fate and effects model, which can represent a full aquatic food web, including multiple genera and guilds of periphyton, phytoplankton, submersed aquatic vegetation, invertebrates, and fish and associated organic toxicants.
