TLDR
The current study proposes the potential of the pharmaceuticals carbamazepine, naproxen, diclofenac and ibuprofen to be regarded as priority ECs for environmental monitoring due to their regular detection and persistence in environmental waters and their possible contribution towards adverse health effects in humans and wildlife.About:

Recent advances in applications of activated carbon from biowaste for wastewater treatment: a short review.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized recent development and findings on application of activated carbon synthesized from biowaste in wastewater treatment and tabulated the adsorption efficiencies of newly developed activated carbons in treatment of different pollutants (including dyes, metal ions, pharmaceutical and personal care products, organic pollutants).

Nanocatalysts and other nanomaterials for water remediation from organic pollutants
Feng Lu,Didier Astruc +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the types and structures of organic pollutants, and the classes of nanomaterials and their application for the remediation of organic contaminants in water are systematically summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pharmaceuticals in freshwater aquatic environments: A comparison of the African and European challenge.
TL;DR: The variation in pharmaceutical consumption, partial removal of pharmaceuticals in wastewater treatment processes, and the direct discharge of livestock animal farm wastewater were identified among the major reasons for the observed differences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment technologies for emerging contaminants in wastewater treatment plants: A review
TL;DR: The treatment technologies currently engaged for ECs removal in WWTPs are reviewed for further possible upgrades of the existing designs and results indicate that the fate and distribution of ECs can be approximately estimated based on physicochemical properties like octanol-water partitioning coefficient and solid-water distribution coefficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of nanoplastics on Mytilus galloprovincialis after individual and combined exposure with carbamazepine.
I. Brandts,Mariana Teles,Angela Goncalves,A. Barreto,Lorena Franco-Martínez,Asta Tvarijonaviciute,Manuel A. Martins,Amadeu M.V.M. Soares,Lluis Tort,Miguel Oliveira +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PS, even at low concentrations, led to alterations on the assessed mussels' endpoints, showing that nanoplastics can induce oxidative damage.

Adverse outcome pathways: A conceptual framework to support ecotoxicology research and risk assessment
Gerald T. Ankley,Richard S. Bennett,Russell J. Erickson,Dale J. Hoff,Michael W. Hornung,Rodney D. Johnson,David R. Mount,John W. Nichols,Christine L. Russom,Patricia K. Schmieder,Jose A. Serrrano,Joseph E. Tietge,Daniel L. Villeneuve +12 more
TL;DR: A framework designed for this purpose, the adverse outcome pathway (AOP), is discussed, a conceptual construct that portrays existing knowledge concerning the linkage between a direct molecular initiating event and an adverse outcome at a biological level of organization relevant to risk assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on emerging contaminants in wastewaters and the environment: current knowledge, understudied areas and recommendations for future monitoring.
TL;DR: Understudied areas of emerging contaminant (EC) research in wastewaters and the environment are identified, and direction for future monitoring is recommended, and the fate and impact of ECs in all exposed environmental compartments are studied.
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
The removal of pharmaceuticals, personal care products, endocrine disruptors and illicit drugs during wastewater treatment and its impact on the quality of receiving waters.
TL;DR: Treated wastewater effluents were the main contributors to PPCPs concentrations in the rivers studied, and the effect of WWTP effluent on the quality of river water is significant and cannot be underestimated.
