This study investigated the occurrence of 27 pharmaceuticals with diverse physicochemical properties in a year-long monitoring campaign in the Chaobai River, China. The correlation between the distribution of pharmaceuticals in the river and the adjacent sources was elucidated. The results indicate that the agriculture area was the most polluted area with a median summed pharmaceutical concentration of 225.3 ng L-1, followed by the urban area and the mountain area with the corresponding values of 136.9 and 29.9 ng L-1, respectively. In terms of individual compounds, 22 out of 27 compounds were detected with concentrations ranging from <1 to 1972 ng L-1. Caffeine, carbamazepine, azithromycin, bezafibrate, metoprolol, sulfadiazine, sulfamethoxazole, clarithromycin, erythromycin, roxithromycin, and trimethoprim were pharmaceuticals with relatively high levels, with median concentrations ranging from 3.3 to 25.6 ng L-1 and detection frequencies ranging from 40% to 97%. Higher concentrations were mainly observed during cold seasons, with mean concentrations 1 to 52 times as high as those during warm seasons. Spatial analysis reveals that the pharmaceutical concentrations in different areas were impacted by different sources. A wastewater treatment plant was an important source in the urban area, while the agriculture area was impacted by various treated and untreated wastewater sources. The species sensitivity distribution model and risk quotient (RQ) method were combined in the ecological risk assessment. The results indicate that the multi-substance potentially affected fraction (msPAF) values of the sampling sites were below 0.04%, whereas nearly half of RQ values were higher than 1. Caffeine was proposed as a priority compound due to its high contribution rate (i.e., 79%) to the cumulative msPAF value, which implies that increased control and management of untreated wastewater sources along the Chaobai River is necessary.
