TLDR
Several pharmaceutically active compounds have been monitored during 1-year period in influent and effluent wastewater from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to evaluate their temporal evolution and removal from wastewater and to know which variables have influence in their removal rates.About:

Yunlong Luo,Wenshan Guo,Huu Hao Ngo,Long D. Nghiem,Faisal I. Hai,Jian Zhang,Shuang Liang,Xiaochang C. Wang +7 more
TL;DR: This review provides a summary of the recent occurrence of micropollutants in the aquatic environment including sewage, surface water, groundwater and drinking water.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of pharmaceutical compounds in urban wastewater: Removal, mass load and environmental risk after a secondary treatment—A review
TL;DR: This analysis shows that the highest amounts discharged through secondary effluent pertain to one antihypertensive, and several beta-blockers and analgesics/anti-inflammatories, while the highest risk is posed by antibiotics and several psychiatric drugs and analgesic/ anti- inflammatories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pharmaceuticals of Emerging Concern in Aquatic Systems: Chemistry, Occurrence, Effects, and Removal Methods.
TL;DR: Adsorption technologies are a low-cost alternative, easily used in developing countries where there is a dearth of advanced technologies, skilled personnel, and available capital, and adsorption appears to be the most broadly feasible pharmaceutical removal method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of emerging organic contaminants on freshwater resources: Review of recent occurrences, sources, fate and effects
TL;DR: This paper reviews recent studies on the occurrence and fate of frequently detected pharmaceuticals and hormones and identifies areas that merit further research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pharmaceutical residues in environmental waters and wastewater: current state of knowledge and future research
TL;DR: This review tries to present part of the knowledge that is currently available with regard to the occurrence of pharmaceutical residues in aquatic matrices, the progress made during the last several years on identification of such compounds down to trace levels, and of new, previously unidentified, pharmaceuticals such as illicit drugs, metabolites, and photo-products.

Standard methods for the examination of water and wastewater
TL;DR: The most widely read reference in the water industry, Water Industry Reference as discussed by the authors, is a comprehensive reference tool for water analysis methods that covers all aspects of USEPA-approved water analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products in the environment: agents of subtle change?
TL;DR: This review attempts to synthesize the literature on environmental origin, distribution/occurrence, and effects and to catalyze a more focused discussion in the environmental science community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecotoxicology of human pharmaceuticals.
TL;DR: It is shown that only very little is known about long-term effects of pharmaceuticals to aquatic organisms, in particular with respect to biological targets, and targeted ecotoxicological studies are needed focusing on subtle environmental effects.

TL;DR: The concentration of estrone increased along the treatment due to the partial oxidation of 17beta-estradiol in the aeration tank, and the overall removal efficiencies within the STP ranged between 70-90% for the fragrances, 40-65% forThe anti-inflammatories, around 65% for 17 beta-ESTradiol and 60% for sulfamethoxazole.

TL;DR: Overall, it can be concluded that for compounds showing a sorption coefficient (K(d) of below 300 L kg(-1), sorption onto secondary sludge is not relevant and their transformation can be assessed simply by comparing influent and effluent concentrations.
