TLDR
The results showed that paraxanthine, caffeine and acetaminophen were the main individual pollutants usually found in concentrations over 20 ppb, and the hydroxyl radical reaction was the major pathway for the oxidative transformation of these compounds.

The impact of initial concentration of selected pharmaceuticals on their early stage of dissipation in soils

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of varying initial concentrations on the stability and degradation of three different pharmaceutical compounds in a chosen soil were investigated using a tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based analytical strategy.

New Challenges for the Analytical Evaluation of Reclaimed Water and Reuse Applications

TL;DR: An overview of the analytical strategies currently used in this field, its requirements and limitations can be found in this article, where the authors give an overview of analytical strategies and their requirements.

The occurrence, fate, environmental impact, and management implications of pharmaceutical and personal care products in wastewater and the environment

TL;DR: In this article, the in situ soluble and suspended solid concentrations were assessed from raw influent, primary effluent, secondary effluent and final effluent for 54 pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) and hormones over six dates.

Occurrence, fate and effects of pharmaceutical substances in the environment- A review

TL;DR: Present knowledge does not reveal if regular therapeutic use may be the source of a substance carried by sewage effluent into the aquatic system, even though clofibrate, a lipid lowering agent, has been identified in ground and tap water samples from Berlin.

Occurrence of drugs in German sewage treatment plants and rivers

Thomas A. Ternes
- 01 Nov 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the occurrence of 32 drug residues belonging to different medicinal classes like antiphlogistics, lipid regulators, psychiatric drugs, antiepileptic drugs, betablockers and β 2 -sympathomimetics as well as five metabolites has been investigated in German municipal sewage treatment plant (STP) discharges, river and stream waters.

A review of imperative technologies for wastewater treatment I: oxidation technologies at ambient conditions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight five different oxidation processes operating at ambient conditions viz. cavitation, photocatalytic oxidation, Fenton's chemistry, ozonation, and use of hydrogen peroxide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidation of pharmaceuticals during ozonation and advanced oxidation processes

TL;DR: It could be shown that the second-order rate constants determined in pure aqueous solution could be applied to predict the behavior of pharmaceuticals dissolved in natural waters.
