In many coastal watersheds and ecosystems, rivers discharging to estuaries receive waters from domestic wastewater treatment plants resulting in the release and distribution of pharmaceuticals to the marine environment. ...
Concentrations of APIs in the waste water effluent from the institutions were measured to assess the correlation between consumption and emission and to determine the reliability of emissions predictions, and thereby to compare emissions from the different institutions and from households. ...
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are emerging contaminants that have been found ubiquitously in wastewater and surface waters around the world. A major source of these compounds is incomplete metabolism in humans and subsequent excretion in human waste, resulting in discharge into surface waters by wastewater treatment ...
