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.

Preparation and Characterization of Fe2O3-CaO-SiO2 Porous Glass Ceramics for Bacteria Immobilization

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, 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.

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.
