Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and fate of emerging contaminants in municipal wastewater treatment plants from different geographical regions-a review.
TL;DR: Many antibiotics were detected in the influents and effluents of WWTPs at concentrations close to or exceeding the predicted no-effect concentrations (PNECs) for resistance selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diclofenac and its transformation products: Environmental occurrence and toxicity - A review.
TL;DR: The environmental fate ofDCF in different compartments such as soil and water has been addressed with an overview of current treatment methods and the toxicity concerns regarding DCF in aquatic as well as terrestrial environment along with an introduction to the metabolites of DCF through consumption and abiotic degradation routes are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the occurrence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in Indian water bodies
TL;DR: Caramazepine (antipsychoactive), atenolol (antihypertensive), triclocarban and triclosan (antimicrobials), trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole (antibacterials), ibuprofen and acetaminophen (analgesics), and caffeine are the most commonly detected at higher concentrations in Indian WTPs that treat predominantly the domestic sewage.

Occurrence, interactive effects and ecological risk of diclofenac in environmental compartments and biota - a review
Palanivel Sathishkumar,Ramakrishnan Anu Alias Meena,Thavamani Palanisami,Veeramuthu Ashokkumar,Thayumanavan Palvannan,Feng Long Gu +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the presence of diclofenac and its metabolites in the environment may represent a high risk because of their synergistic interactions with existing contaminants, leading to the development of drug-resistant strains and the formation of newly emerging pollutants.
