TLDR
The presence of 16 SAs and one of their acetylated metabolites in different water matrices of the Ebro River basin has been evaluated during two different sampling campaigns carried out in 2007 and 2008 and the potential environmental risk posed by SAs was evaluated.About:

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
Occurrence of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes in hospital and urban wastewaters and their impact on the receiving river.
Sara Rodríguez-Mozaz,Sara Chamorro,Elisabet Marti,Belinda Huerta,Meritxell Gros,Alexandre Sànchez-Melsió,Carles M. Borrego,Damià Barceló,José Luis Balcázar +8 more
TL;DR: A widespread occurrence of antibiotics and ARGs in urban and hospital wastewater and how these effluents, even after treatment, contribute to the spread of these emerging pollutants in the aquatic environment is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotics in the aquatic environments: A review of the European scenario.
Isabel Carvalho,Lúcia Santos +1 more
TL;DR: This literature review summarizes the state of knowledge on the occurrence of antibiotics in the different aqueous environmental systems across the Europe, as reported since 2000 and provides an improved understanding on aquatic pollution by antibiotics to outline the European scenario.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotics in the surface water of the Yangtze Estuary: Occurrence, distribution and risk assessment
TL;DR: A positive correlation between total antibiotic and DOC concentrations revealed the significant role played by DOC, and risk assessment based on single compound exposure showed that sulfapyridine and sulfamethoxazole could cause medium risk to daphnid in the Yangtze Estuary.

Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic wastewater contaminants in U.S. streams, 1999-2000: a national reconnaissance.
Dana W. Kolpin,Edward T. Furlong,Michael T. Meyer,E. Michael Thurman,Steven D. Zaugg,Larry B. Barber,Herbert T. Buxton +6 more
TL;DR: The U.S. Geological Survey used five newly developed analytical methods to measure concentrations of 95 organic wastewater contaminants (OWCs) in water samples from a network of 139 streams across 30 states during 1999 and 2000 as mentioned in this paper.

Herbert T. Buxton,Dana W. Kolpin +1 more
TL;DR: Results of this study demonstrate the importance of obtaining data on metabolites to fully understand not only the fate and transport of OWCs in the hydrologic system but also their ultimate overall effect on human health and the environment.

Removal of pharmaceuticals during wastewater treatment and environmental risk assessment using hazard indexes
TL;DR: In a long term study, a total of 84 samples from seven WWTP located in the main cities along the Ebro river Basin as well as receiving river waters were analyzed to assess the occurrence of 73 pharmaceuticals covering several medicinal classes, results indicated that pharmaceuticals are widespread pollutants in the aquatic environmental.

Fate of sulfonamides, macrolides, and trimethoprim in different wastewater treatment technologies
TL;DR: Together with the high SRT, the SL may lead to an increased biodiversity of the active biomass, resulting in a broader range of degradation pathways available, and a correlation with reduced substrate loading (SL).

Analysis of trace levels of sulfonamide and tetracycline antimicrobials in groundwater and surface water using solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry.
TL;DR: A method has been developed for the trace analysis of two classes of antimicrobials consisting of six sulfonamides and five tetracyclines, which commonly are used for veterinary purposes and agricultural feed additives and are suspected to leach into ground and surface water.
