TLDR
It is suggested that carbamazepine and diclofenac can be classified as slow-mobile compounds in SOM-rich soil layers when these compounds pass this layer and/or introduced into SOM-poor soils, their mobility increases significantly.About:

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.

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).
