Pharmaceutical pollution of the world's rivers

John L. Wilkinson et al.

Summary: Environmental exposure to active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can have negative effects on ecosystems and human health. A global-scale study of API pollution in rivers highlights the highest concentrations in sub-Saharan Africa, south Asia, and South America, primarily in low- to middle-income countries with poor wastewater and waste management infrastructure. The most frequently detected APIs include carbamazepine, metformin, and caffeine, with some concentrations exceeding safe levels for aquatic organisms. Pharmaceutical pollution poses a global threat to environmental and human health and has implications for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Ecological risk assessment of pesticides in urban streams of the Brazilian Amazon

Andreu Rico et al.

Summary: The use of pesticides has increased notably in households and peri-urban areas of the Amazon, but the presence of these contaminants and their ecological risks in freshwater ecosystems remain unexplored. This study assessed the exposure to pesticides in the Amazon River and urban streams, finding widespread pesticide contamination in urban and peri-urban areas of the Brazilian Amazon. Pesticide residues may pose risks to freshwater organisms, particularly invertebrates.

Sorption of selected pharmaceuticals on river benthic biofilms formed on artificial substrata

Borbala Domolki et al.

Summary: This study investigates the concentration of pharmaceuticals in the Danube water and biofilms formed on different substrata. The results demonstrate the role of biofilms in the uptake and adsorption of pharmaceuticals, with better accumulation on glass substrata. Glass carrier plates are recommended for biofilm studies due to higher adsorption and biodiversity.

Distribution of antibiotics in water, sediments and biofilm in an urban river (Cordoba, Argentina, LA)

M. Eugenia Valdes et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the distribution of antibiotics and metabolite residues in an urban river, revealing the downstream sites as the most polluted due to wastewater treatment plant discharge, with biofilms showing higher accumulation of antibiotics compared to sediments. The presence of specific antibiotics in water poses a high risk for aquatic ecosystems, emphasizing the importance of managing identified high-risk antibiotics by government authorities.

Paradise lost? Pesticide pollution in a European region with considerable amount of traditional agriculture

Verena C. Schreiner et al.

Summary: Pesticide contamination in streams of low intensity agriculture areas in Romania was found to be similar to that of high intensity agriculture regions, despite lower reported pesticide usage. The toxicity of pesticides towards invertebrates was positively correlated with large scale variables, while no relationship was found with algae toxicity.

Organic composition of epilithic biofilms from agricultural and urban watershed in South Brazil

Gracieli Fernandes et al.

Summary: The active functional groups in epilithic biofilms, including polysaccharides, nitrogen-containing compounds, lipids, and aromatic and phenolic structures with characteristic functional groups, such as alcohols, esters, ethers, and amides, were identified. These components can effectively reflect environmental pressures.

Pharmaceutical compound removal efficiency by a small constructed wetland located in south Brazil

Jocelina Paranhos Rosa De Vargas et al.

Summary: The efficiency of pharmaceutical removal during wastewater treatment is low, posing a risk to aquatic organisms and human health. Biofilms play a role in capturing pharmaceuticals, with antibiotics presenting a high risk to aquatic organisms.

Bioconcentration of glyphosate in wetland biofilms

Laura Beecraft et al.

Summary: The study found that wetland biofilms can remove contaminants such as glyphosate through bioconcentration and metabolism. The concentrations of glyphosate in biofilms were several orders of magnitude higher than in the surrounding water, and bioconcentration factors and metabolic patterns indicated that biofilms have the ability to degrade and absorb glyphosate.

Ecological risk assessment of pesticides in the Mijares River (eastern Spain) impacted by citrus production using wide-scope screening and target quantitative analysis

Lubertus Bijlsma et al.

Summary: The study found that in a Mediterranean river basin impacted by citrus agricultural production, pesticides and their transformation products pose a severe threat to freshwater biodiversity. Monitoring and analysis revealed significant contamination of the river by pesticide residues from wastewater treatment plant discharge.
