Abundance, fate, and effects of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in aquatic environments

Adeyemi S. Adeleye et al.

Summary: Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are commonly found in wastewater and the environment, primarily entering municipal wastewater systems through human excretion and also from hospitals, PPCPs manufacturers, and agriculture. The most abundant PPCPs in raw wastewater include analgesics, antibiotics, and stimulants. In conventional wastewater treatment plants, most removal of PPCPs occurs during secondary treatment, with an overall removal rate exceeding 90%.

Pharmaceuticals in edible crops irrigated with reclaimed wastewater: Evidence from a large survey in Israel

Evyatar Ben Mordechay et al.

Summary: The study found that pharmaceuticals and CECs were present in crops irrigated with reclaimed wastewater, with leafy greens showing the highest contamination levels. The contamination levels of different crops varied due to the source of wastewater, quality of treatment, and soil characteristics.

Recent developments in physical, biological, chemical, and hybrid treatment techniques for removing emerging contaminants from wastewater

S. F. Ahmed et al.

Summary: Various treatment technologies have been developed for the removal of emerging contaminants (ECs) from wastewater, with hybrid systems being found to be more efficient compared to individual technologies. A hybrid technique combining ozonation with activated carbon has been particularly effective in removing certain ECs, such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides. While nanotechnology shows promise, extensive research and development are necessary to fully and effectively remove ECs from wastewater.
