Occurrence and fate of pharmaceuticals, personal care products (PPCPs) and pesticides in African water systems: A need for timely intervention

Heliyon, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 8(3), P. e09143 - e09143

Published: March 1, 2022

The occurrence of emerging contaminants (ECs) such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products (PPCPs) and pesticides in the aquatic environment has raised serious concerns about their adverse effects on species humans. Because toxicity bioactive nature, PPCPs have more potential to impair water systems than any other contaminants, causing several effects, including antibiotic resistance, reproductive impairment, biomagnification, bioaccumulation, etc. Over 35 publications from Africa reported fate African with little or no data remediation control. As a result, adequate intervention strategies are needed for regulating persistence systems.

Role of the Synergistic Interactions of Environmental Pollutants in the Development of Cancer

GeoHealth, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 6(4)

Published: April 1, 2022

Abstract There is a growing awareness that the large number of environmental pollutants we are exposed to on daily basis causing major health problems. Compared traditional studies focus individual pollutants, there relatively few how mixtures interact. Several have reported relationship between and development cancer, even when pollutant levels below toxicity reference values. The possibility synergistic interactions different could explain low concentrations can cause These intricate molecular occur through wide variety mechanisms, our understanding physiological effects still limited. purpose this paper discuss recent reports address possible types promote cancer development. Our literature suggest key biological pathways frequently implicated in such processes. include increased production reactive oxygen species, activation by cytochrome P450, aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling, among others. We need understand pathological vulnerability not only relation basic genetics gene expression, but also terms measurable exposure contaminants. mention for significant improvements future using multitude disciplines, as high‐throughput study models, better tools quantifying patients, innovative pharmacological toxicological studies, high‐efficiency computer analysis, which allow us analyze mechanisms mixtures.

Pharmaceutical and pesticide mixtures in a Mediterranean coastal wetland: comparison of sampling methods, ecological risks, and removal by a constructed wetland

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 31(10), P. 14593 - 14609

Published: Jan. 26, 2024

Abstract Pharmaceuticals and pesticides can be considered hazardous compounds for Mediterranean coastal wetland ecosystems. Although many of these co-occur in environmental samples, only a few studies have been dedicated to assessing the ecotoxicological risks complex contaminant mixtures. We evaluated occurrence 133 pharmaceuticals 12 sites protected wetland, Albufera Natural Park (ANP), based on conventional grab sampling polar organic chemical integrative samplers (POCIS). assessed acute chronic ecological posed by mixtures using multi-substance Potentially Affected Fraction ( msPAF ) approach investigated capacity constructed reduce exposure risks. This study shows that are widespread contaminants ANP, with samples containing up 75 different compounds. POCIS were found useful determination less predictable profiles occurring at end rice cultivation cycle, while provide an accurate method determine (semi-)continuous pharmaceutical exposure. Acute identified one sample, determined most collected 5–25% aquatic species being potentially affected. The contributed azoxystrobin, ibuprofen, furosemide, caffeine, some insecticides (diazinon, imidacloprid, acetamiprid). reduced loads 45–73% faction affected from 25 6%. Our highlights need addressing mixture effects wetlands supports use areas high anthropogenic pressure.
