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.

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products as emerging contaminants: Need for combined treatment strategy

Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 9, С. 100206 - 100206

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are distinct group of chemicals, specifically referred to as emerging environmental contaminants because their intrinsic capacity trigger diverse physiological effects in humans. Numerous research investigations have confirmed the existence PPCPs matrices, which provokes worry about prospective severe implications biodiversity For this reason, manuscript reviews present state-of-the-art information on aquatic environment. The environment risk associated with abundance was established based occurrence, toxicity, bioaccumulation. Existing regarding sources, migration, degradation these provided. Subsequently, a comprehensive concerning global concentration also Carbamazepine appears be most persistent judging from reports literature different treatment strategies. A combined strategy is recommended for improved removal efficiency media especially PPCPs. combination microbial other technologies will effective eradication.

Occurrence of contaminants of emerging concern and pesticides and relative risk assessment in Tunisian groundwater

Groundwater is an important source for drinking water supply, agricultural irrigation and industrial uses in the Middle East North Africa region. Due to growing need groundwater use, quality studies on presence of contaminants emerging concern (CECs) pesticides have gained attention. The Wadi El Bey one most polluted areas Tunisia. However, very limited data CECs infiltration into aquifers has been described, comparison industrialized countries where contamination comprehensively addressed. To gain early insight potential contamination, wells northeast Tunisia, area with high population density intensive activity were sampled during two seasons analyzed resolution mass spectrometry approaches: target suspect screening. latter was used screening banned pesticides. A selection 116 which 19 are transformation products (TPs) 20 previously prioritized by screened samples. results showed 69 1 TP at concentrations per well, ranging between 43 7384 ng L-1 7.3 80 L-1, respectively. Tunisian do not differ from those countries. WWTPs considered main pollution, classes detected analgesics, antihypertensives artificial sweeteners especially caffeine, salicylic acid ibuprofen found be ubiquitous. Regarding pesticides, triazines herbicides carbamates insecticides pose highest due their ubiquitous presence, leachability them toxicity. environmental risk assessment (ERA) highlighted that ibuprofen, propoxur may environment, consequently, non-target organisms. This study provides occurrence ERA analysis groundwater.
