Global Synthesis and Critical Evaluation of Pharmaceutical Data Sets Collected from River Systems
TL;DR: A global-scale analysis of the presence of 203 pharmaceuticals across 41 countries is presented and it is shown that contamination is extensive due to widespread consumption and subsequent disposal to rivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence and removal of antibiotics, hormones and several other pharmaceuticals in wastewater treatment plants of the largest industrial city of Korea.
TL;DR: The compounds lincomycin, carbamazepine, atenolol, metoprolol, and triclosan showed better removal in WWTPs employing modified activated sludge process with co-existence of anoxic-oxic condition, thereby ensuring a sustainable water cycle management.

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.
