Occurrence, fate, and removal of pharmaceutical residues in the aquatic environment: a review of recent research data
TL;DR: Several PhACs from various prescription classes have been found at concentrations up to the microg/l-level in sewage influent and effluent samples and also in several surface waters located downstream from municipal sewage treatment plants (STPs).
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.
