A review of the pharmaceutical exposome in aquatic fauna

Environmental Pollution, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 239, P. 129 - 146

Published: April 10, 2018

Pharmaceuticals have been considered 'contaminants of emerging concern' for more than 20 years. In that time, many laboratory studies sought to identify hazard and assess risk in the aquatic environment, whilst field searched targeted candidates occurrence trends using advanced analytical techniques. However, a lack systematic approach detection quantification pharmaceuticals has provided fragmented literature serendipitous approaches. Evaluation extent plethora human veterinary available requires reliable measurement trace levels contaminants across different environmental compartments (water, sediment, biota - which largely neglected). The focus on pharmaceutical concentrations surface waters other exposure media therefore limited both characterisation exposome wildlife understanding cause effect relationships. Here, we compile current approaches accumulation data review state research field. Our analysis provides evidence support 'Matthew Effect' raises critical questions about use analyte lists biomonitoring. We provide six recommendations stimulate improve future avenues.

Occurrence and removal of chemicals of emerging concern in wastewater treatment plants and their impact on receiving water systems

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 754, P. 142122 - 142122

Published: Sept. 1, 2020

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are considered the main sources of chemicals emerging concern (CECs) in aquatic environments, and can negatively impact ecosystems. In this study, WWTP influent, effluent, sludge, upstream downstream waters from recipient were investigated at 15 locations for a total 164 CECs, including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, industrial chemicals, per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), pesticides. addition, zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo toxicity tests (ZFET) applied to influent recipients. A 119 CECs detected least one sample, mean concentrations ranging 0.11 ng/L (propylparaben) 64,000 (caffeine), wastewater samples 0.44 (ciprofloxacin) 19,000 (metformin) surface water samples. Large variations CEC found between selected WWTPs, which be explained by differences composition process. The sludge-water partitioning coefficient (Kd) showed significant linear correlation octanol/water partition (KOW) (p < 0.001), thus could used predicting their fate aqueous solid phase. ΣCEC WWTPs declined on average 60%, based comparisons effluent concentrations. high resulted in, average, 50% higher compared with upstream. Some ZFET respective control group, but no individual or groups explain toxicity. These results provide theoretical basis optimization existing systems different designs, significantly contribute protecting waters.

Pressurized Liquid Extraction: A Powerful Tool to Implement Extraction and Purification of Food Contaminants

Foods, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12(10), P. 2017 - 2017

Published: May 16, 2023

Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) is considered an advanced technique developed in the mid-1990s with aim of saving time and reducing solvent respect to traditional processes. It commonly used solid semi-solid samples employs at elevated temperatures pressures, always below respective critical points, maintain a state throughout procedure. The use these particular pressure temperature conditions changes physicochemical properties solvent, allowing easier deeper penetration into matrix be extracted. Furthermore, possibility combine clean-up steps by including layer adsorbent retaining interfering compounds directly PLE cells makes this extremely versatile selective. After providing background on parameters optimized, present review focuses recent applications (published past 10 years) field food contaminants. In particular, related environmental processing contaminants, pesticides, residues veterinary drugs, mycotoxins, parabens, ethyl carbamate, fatty acid esters 3-monochloro-1,2-propanediol 2-monochloro-1,3-propanediol from different matrices were considered.
