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.

The fate of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), endocrine disrupting contaminants (EDCs), metabolites and illicit drugs in a WWTW and environmental waters

A large number of emerging contaminants (ECs) are known to persist in surface waters, and create pressure on wastewater treatment works (WWTW) for their effective removal. Although a database the levels these pollutants water systems exist globally, there is still lack correlation with possible long-term adverse health effects wildlife humans, such as endocrine disruption. The current study detected total 55 ECs WWTW influent water, 41 effluent, 40 environmental waters located upstream downstream plant. list persisted through process, 28% all removed by less than 50%, 18% were 25%. Negative mass balances some pharmaceuticals metabolites observed within WWTW, suggesting back-transformation during treatment. Three parental illicit drug compounds concentrations ranging between 27.6 147.0 ng L-1 cocaine, 35.6-120.6 mephedrone, 270.9-450.2 methamphetamine. related risks also discussed ECs, particular reference ability disrupt systems. propose potential carbamazepine, naproxen, diclofenac ibuprofen be regarded priority monitoring due regular detection persistence contribution towards humans wildlife.

Abundance, fate, and effects of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in aquatic environments

Journal of Hazardous Materials, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 424, P. 127284 - 127284

Published: Sept. 22, 2021

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are found in wastewater, thus, the environment. In this study, current knowledge about occurrence fate of PPCPs aquatic systems-including wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) natural waters around world-is critically reviewed to inform state science highlight existing gaps. Excretion by humans is primary route entry into municipal systems, but significant contributions also occur through emissions from hospitals, manufacturers, agriculture. Abundance raw influenced several factors, including population density demography served WWTPs, presence hospitals drugs manufacturers sewershed, disease burden served, local regulations, climatic conditions. Based on data obtained analgesics, antibiotics, stimulants (e.g., caffeine) most abundant wastewater. conventional removal occurs during secondary treatment, overall exceeds 90% for treatable PPCPs. Regardless, total PPCP mass discharged with effluent an average WWTP receiving (7.35-20,160 g/day) still considerable, because potential adverse effects some (such as ibuprofen) organisms within measured concentrations surface waters.
