In the last few decades, pharmaceuticals, credited with saving millions of lives, have emerged as a new class environmental contaminant. These compounds can both chronic and acute harmful effects on natural flora fauna. The presence pharmaceutical contaminants in ground waters, surface waters (lakes, rivers, streams), sea water, wastewater treatment plants (influents effluents), soils, sludges has been well doccumented. A range methods including oxidation, photolysis, UV-degradation, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, adsorption used for their remediation from aqueous systems. Many commercially limited by toxic sludge generation, incomplete removal, high capital operating costs, need skilled maintenance personnel. Adsorption technologies are low-cost alternative, easily developing countries where there is dearth advanced technologies, personnel, available capital, appears to be most broadly feasible removal method. integrated (WWTPs). Herein, we reviewed literature (1990–2018) illustrating rising contamination concerns efforts emphasizing adsorption.

Antibiotic residues in final effluents of European wastewater treatment plants and their impact on the aquatic environment

Environment International, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 140, С. 105733 - 105733

A comprehensive monitoring of a broad set antibiotics in the final effluent wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) 7 European countries (Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Cyprus, Germany, Finland, and Norway) was carried out two consecutive years (2015 2016). This is first study this kind performed at an international level. Within 53 monitored 17 were detected least once WWTPs, i.e.: ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, enrofloxacin, orbifloxacin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, sulfapyridine, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, nalidixic acid, pipemidic oxolinic cefalexin, clindamycin, metronidazole, ampicillin, tetracycline. The exhibiting highest average concentrations Ireland southern Portugal whereas northern (Norway, Finland Germany) Cyprus exhibited lower total concentration. antibiotic occurrence data effluents used for assessment their impact on aquatic environment. Both, environmental predicted no effect concentration (PNEC-ENVs) PNECs based minimal inhibitory (PNEC-MICs) considered evaluation microbial communities systems evolution resistance, respectively. Based analysis, three compounds, azithromycin cefalexin are proposed as markers pollution, they could occasionally pose risk to Integrated studies like crucial map pollution provide basis designing water quality regular programs.
