Occurrence and distribution of endocrine disrupting chemicals and pharmaceuticals in the river Bouregreg (Rabat, Morocco)

Safae Chafi et al.

Summary: Surface waters in the Rabat region of Morocco were analyzed for 27 endocrine disrupting chemicals and pharmaceutically active compounds, with sources mainly from municipal and industrial wastewater as well as runoff from agricultural fields. Endocrine disrupting chemicals were predominantly found at the mouth of the Bouregreg river, while pharmaceuticals were mainly concentrated in the class of anti-inflammatory/analgesic drugs.

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products in the seawater around a typical subtropical tourist city of China and associated ecological risk

Hongzhe Chen et al.

Summary: The study revealed the presence of 32 PPCP pollutants in the sea area surrounding a densely populated tourist city in southeastern China, with possible contamination from runoff, local sources, and aquaculture farms. Seasonal variations and differences in pharmaceutical consumption were found to affect the concentrations of PPCPs in the sea area. Furthermore, antibacterial agents in daily chemicals and azole broad-spectrum antifungals were identified as potential high-risk factors in this subtropical tourist city's sea area.

Screening of pharmaceuticals in coastal waters of the southern coast of Viti Levu in Fiji, South Pacific

Jasha Dehm et al.

Summary: The global reliance on pharmaceuticals and lack of effective treatment methods has led to a pseudo-persistence of pharmaceuticals in the environment. This study in Fiji's southern coastal waters found measurable concentrations of pharmaceutical residues, indicating that these pollutants are not limited to highly populated areas.

Occurrence and distribution of pharmaceuticals in surface water and sediment of Buffalo and Sundays River estuaries, South Africa and their ecological risk assessment

Chinemerem Ruth Ohoro et al.

Summary: This study investigated the presence of pharmaceutical residues in the water and sediment of Buffalo and Sundays River Estuary in South Africa. Carbamazepine and trimethoprim were found to potentially pose risks, while caffeine showed very low risk to aquatic organisms. Proper monitoring of runoff and domestic waste discharge are recommended for environmental protection.
