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.About:

Preparation and Characterization of Fe2O3-CaO-SiO2 Porous Glass Ceramics for Bacteria Immobilization
Bin Li,Yong Ya Wang,Wen Qin Luo +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a study of porous glass ceramics towards bacteria-immobilization applications for water filtration was presented, where sol-gel synthesized glass samples were processed into Fe2O3-CaO-SiO2 porous glass porosimetry by introducing a pore forming agent, and the crystal phase composition, morphology, and pore structure of the ceramic were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2 adsorption-desorption measurements, and mercury intrusion poros

Occurrence of drugs in German sewage treatment plants and rivers
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.

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.
