Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the freshwater aquatic environment

Emerging contaminants, Journal Year: 2017, Volume and Issue: 3(1), P. 1 - 16

Published: Jan. 5, 2017

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are a unique group of emerging environmental contaminants, due to their inherent ability induce physiological effects in human at low doses. An increasing number studies has confirmed the presence various PPCPs different compartments, which raises concerns about potential adverse humans wildlife. Therefore, this article reviews current state-of-knowledge on freshwater aquatic environment. The risk posed by these contaminants is evaluated light persistence, bioaccumulation toxicity criteria. Available literature sources, transport degradation environment evaluated, followed comprehensive review reported concentrations PPCP groups (water, sediment biota) five continents. Finally, future perspectives for research discussed identified gaps knowledge.

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products as emerging contaminants: Need for combined treatment strategy

Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 9, P. 100206 - 100206

Published: Nov. 21, 2022

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are distinct group of chemicals, specifically referred to as emerging environmental contaminants because their intrinsic capacity trigger diverse physiological effects in humans. Numerous research investigations have confirmed the existence PPCPs matrices, which provokes worry about prospective severe implications biodiversity For this reason, manuscript reviews present state-of-the-art information on aquatic environment. The environment risk associated with abundance was established based occurrence, toxicity, bioaccumulation. Existing regarding sources, migration, degradation these provided. Subsequently, a comprehensive concerning global concentration also Carbamazepine appears be most persistent judging from reports literature different treatment strategies. A combined strategy is recommended for improved removal efficiency media especially PPCPs. combination microbial other technologies will effective eradication.

Emerging challenges of the impacts of pharmaceuticals on aquatic ecosystems: A diatom perspective

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 878, P. 162939 - 162939

Pharmaceuticals are a ubiquitous group of emerging pollutants considerable importance due to their biological potency and potential elicit effects in wildlife humans. have been quantified terrestrial, marine, fresh, transitional waters, as well the fauna macro-flora that inhabit them. can enter water ways through different human veterinary pathways with traditional wastewater treatment, unable completely remove pharmaceuticals, discharging often unknown quantities aquatic ecosystems. However, there is paucity available information regarding pharmaceuticals on species at base food webs, especially phytoplankton, research typically focussing fish invertebrates. Diatoms one main classes phytoplankton some most abundant important organisms systems. As primary producers, diatoms generate ∼40 % world's oxygen vital source for consumers. also be used bioremediation polluted bodies but perhaps best known bio-indicators quality studies. this keystone, non-target ignored during ecotoxicological studies assess concern.

Sources, presence and potential effects of contaminants of emerging concern in the marine environments of the Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait, Australia

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 719, P. 135140 - 135140

Published: Nov. 22, 2019

Current policy and management for marine water quality in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) north-eastern Australia primarily focusses on sediment, nutrients pesticides derived from diffuse source pollution related to agricultural land uses. In addition, contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) are known be present environments GBR adjacent Torres Strait (TS). projected agricultural, urban industrial developments likely increase sources diversity CECs being released into these ecosystems. this review, we evaluate sources, presence potential effects six different categories present, or TS Specifically, summarize available monitoring, effect information antifouling paints; coal dust particles; heavy/trace metals metalloids; debris microplastics; pharmaceuticals personal care products (PPCPs); petroleum hydrocarbons. Our study highlights lack (available) monitoring data most CECs, recommends: (i) inclusion all relevant environmental integrated databases building baselines regions, (ii) implementation local, targeted programs informed by predictive methods risk prioritization. Further, our spatial representation will contribute future ecological assessments environments, including risks relative those identified pesticides.

Environmental ubiquity of pharmaceuticals has stimulated a lot societal and global concerns. The occurrence in the environment differs from country to depending on extent consumption monitoring. Most studies reporting are conducted coastal regions with numerous articles reviews reported developed countries. current review reports inland waters major focus devoted developing countries Africa Asia. was further dedicated sources distribution mechanisms, which contribute greatly their environment. Antibiotics non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) most African waters. For example, an antibiotic (sulfamethoxazole) detected more than four highest concentrations reaching 53.8–56.6 μg L−1 Kenya Mozambique. Furthermore, amoxicillin ranging 0.087–272.2 were Nigeria. Ibuprofen, is NSAID at 67.9 58.7 Durban city Msunduzi River (KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa), respectively.
