Occurrence, interactive effects and ecological risk of diclofenac in environmental compartments and biota - a review

TLDR
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.

Photocatalytic-persulfate- oxidation for diclofenac removal from aqueous solutions: Modeling, optimization and biotoxicity test assessment.

TL;DR: The effectiveness of the process and the toxicity of the pharmaceutical pollutants and their by-products were evaluated and confirmed by the biological tests using liver and kidney of Mus musculus mice and the artificial neural network (ANN) modeling approach combined with genetic algorithm (GA) was applied.

Activation of sulfite by single-atom Fe deposited graphitic carbon nitride for diclofenac removal: The synergetic effect of transition metal and photocatalysis

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel bamboo-like porous graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with single-atom Fe was successfully prepared and used for sulfite (S(IV)) activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-inflammatory drugs in the marine environment: Bioconcentration, metabolism and sub-lethal effects in marine bivalves.

TL;DR: The studies selected support the inclusion of diclofenac on the European Union Watch List and highlight the importance of extending research for ibuprofen and paracetamol due to their demonstrated negative effects on marine bivalves exposed to environmental realistic concentrations, under laboratory conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visible-light photocatalytic diclofenac removal by tunable vanadium pentoxide/boron-doped graphitic carbon nitride composite

TL;DR: In this paper, vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) was integrated into boron-doped graphitic carbon nitride (BCN) to produce visible-light-active vanadium oxide/boron co-decoupled graphitic-carbon nitride photocatalysts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microplastics physicochemical properties, specific adsorption modeling and their interaction with pharmaceuticals and other emerging contaminants.

TL;DR: It is exhibited that MPs sorption and interaction behavior towards organic contaminants play an important role in understanding its dynamics in the environment, as well as their possible interactions with pharmaceuticals that are summarized.

Diclofenac residues as the cause of vulture population decline in Pakistan

TL;DR: Results are provided that directly correlate residues of the anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac with renal failure and renal failure in the Oriental white-backed vulture (OWBV) and it is proposed that residues of veterinary diclotenac are responsible for the OWBV decline.

Pharmaceuticals and endocrine disrupting compounds in U.S. drinking water.

TL;DR: Atenolol, atrazine, DEET, estrone, meprobamate, and trimethoprim can serve as indicator compounds representing potential contamination from other pharmaceuticals and EDCs and can gauge the efficacy of treatment processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The removal of pharmaceuticals, personal care products, endocrine disruptors and illicit drugs during wastewater treatment and its impact on the quality of receiving waters.

TL;DR: Treated wastewater effluents were the main contributors to PPCPs concentrations in the rivers studied, and the effect of WWTP effluent on the quality of river water is significant and cannot be underestimated.

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.
