Hormones and Pharmaceuticals in Groundwater Used As a Source of Drinking Water Across the United States

Environmental Science & Technology, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 53(6), P. 2950 - 2960

Published: March 5, 2019

This is the first large-scale, systematic assessment of hormone and pharmaceutical occurrence in groundwater used for drinking across United States. Samples from 1091 sites Principal Aquifers representing 60% volume pumped drinking-water supply had final data 21 hormones 103 pharmaceuticals. At least one compound was detected at 5.9% 844 resource public entirety 15 Aquifers, 11.3% 247 domestic over subareas nine Aquifers. Of 34 compounds detected, plastics component (bisphenol A), three pharmaceuticals (carbamazepine, sulfamethoxazole, meprobamate), caffeine degradate 1,7-dimethylxanthine were more than 0.5% samples. Hydrocortisone a concentration greater human-health benchmark 1 site. Compounds with high solubility low Koc most likely to be detected. Detections common shallow wells recent recharge, particularly crystalline-rock mixed land-use settings. Results indicate vulnerability water U.S. contamination by these generally limited, exposure concentrations unlikely have adverse effects on human health.

A Review on Emerging Pollutants in the Water Environment: Existences, Health Effects and Treatment Processes

Water, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 13(22), P. 3258 - 3258

Published: Nov. 17, 2021

Emerging pollutants (EPs), also known as micropollutants, have been a major issue for the global population in recent years result of potential threats they bring to environment and human health. Pharmaceuticals personal care products (PPCPs), antibiotics, hormones that are used great demand health cosmetic purposes rapidly culminated emergence environmental pollutants. EPs impact variety ways. originate from animal or sources, either directly discharged into waterbodies slowly leached via soils. As result, water quality will deteriorate, drinking sources be contaminated, issues arise. Since treatment plants rely on resources, prevalence this contamination aquatic environments, particularly surface water, is severe problem. The review looks several related environment, including methods removing EPs. Despite its benefits downsides, processes comprise approaches such physico-chemical, biological, advanced oxidation processes. Nonetheless, one membrane-based filtration methods, ultrafiltration, considered technologies promises best micropollutant removal water. With interesting properties moderate operating manner selectivity, approach more popular than conventional ones. This study presents comprehensive summary EP’s existence toxicological consequences health, strategies.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global public health concern, shared by large number of human and animal actors. Within the framework One Health approach, actions should be implemented in environmental realm, as well realms. The Government France commissioned report to provide policy decision makers with an evidential basis for recommending or taking future mitigate AMR environment. We first examined mechanisms that underlie emergence persistence antimicrobial This drew up inventory contamination aquatic terrestrial environments antibiotics, anticipating findings will representative some other high-income countries. Effluents wastewater treatment plants were identified source on French territory, spreading organic waste products more diffuse incidental environments.

Increasing demand for food due to rapid population growth has exerted unprecedented pressure on the global agricultural industry. Agrochemicals are widely used ensure productivity, leading prevalence of legacy and emerging chemicals in environment, most which toxic persistent. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as a group novel photocatalytic materials with ultrahigh porosity tunability have demonstrated high potential efficient removal these recalcitrant pollutants. This critical review aims present MOF-catalyzed photodegradation pesticides antibiotics. Initially, capabilities different MOF-based composites harvest visible light compared. Examples include MOFs combined bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX) graphite oxide (GO). Mechanisms involved MOF-induced processes such electron–hole (e–/h+) separation, generation reactive species, degradation pathways representative pollutants well impacts water chemistry illustrated detailed. Research applying is largely progress, many more studies greater mechanistic evaluation needed fully assess depollute water.
