The consumption of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) has been widely
increasing, yet up to 90–95% of PPCPs consumed by human are excreted unmetabolized …

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) continuously release a complex mixture of municipal,
hospital, industrial, and runoff chemicals into the aquatic environment. These contaminants …

We screened for the presence of 66 different pharmaceutical residues in surface waters and
in multiple invertebrate and fish species of the Tejo estuary to produce an environmental risk …

A research gap exists in baseline concentrations of organic micropollutants in South
American rivers. Identification of areas with different degrees of contamination and risk to the …

Abstract Uco valley (Mendoza, Argentina) suffers the concomitant effect of climate change,
anthropic pressure and water scarcity. Moreover chemical pollution to aquatic ecosystems …

Persistent exposure of emerging contaminants (ECs) in freshwater ecosystem has initiated
intense global concerns. Freshwater ecosystem dominated by submerged plants (SP-FES) …

Blood pressure medications like atenolol are detected in aquatic ecosystems. The objectives
here were to (1) map the global presence of atenolol in surface water and sewage;(2) …

Globally, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are detected in surface
waters receiving wastewater, yet their presence in biota, remain largely understudied. To …

Pharmaceuticals in aquatic environment displayed adverse effects to fish. The effects are
usually related to the internal levels of pharmaceuticals accumulated in specific fish tissues …

The presence of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in surface water is well
known, whereas their natural occurrence in biota is much less explored. The aim of this work …
