Urban wastewater treatment plants as hotspots for the release of antibiotics in the environment: a review

TL;DR: The aim of the present paper is to critically review the fate and removal of various antibiotics in wastewater treatment, focusing on different processes (i.e. biological processes, advanced treatment technologies and disinfection) in view of the current concerns related to the induction of toxic effects in aquatic and terrestrial organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotic pollution in the environment: a review.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected information from several investigations on the sources and occurrences of antibiotics in natural and artificial environmental systems, including water resources, effluent from industries, sludge, manure, soil, plants, and organisms across the globe.

Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic wastewater contaminants in U.S. streams, 1999-2000: a national reconnaissance.

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.

Behavior of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and hormones in a sewage treatment plant

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.
