Municipal biosolids are in widespread use as additives to agricultural soils in the United States. Although it is well known that digested sewage sludge is laden with organic wastewater contaminants, the fate and behavior of micropollutants in biosolids-amended agricultural soils remain unclear. An outdoor mesocosm study was conducted in Baltimore, Maryland, to explore the fate of 72 pharmaceut...

We investigated concentrations of 18 pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) in the upper reaches Yamato river system using LC-MS/MS winter summer 2020. This extends over plain area which accounts for nearly 90% population Nara prefecture, flow rate is extremely lower than others Japan. Therefore, high PPCPs from residential commercial sector are expected to be detected. As a result, ...

Pharmed Fish Results from a recent pilot study of the uptake of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) by fish in U.S. rivers have garnered considerable attention since they were pub­ lished online 25 March 2009 ahead of print in Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry. The study, led by Baylor University chemistry pro­ fessor C. Kevin Chambliss and environmental science professor Br...

This study determined the occurrence, removal and environmental risk assessment of 24 multi-class pharmaceuticals personal care products (PPCPs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) Jiangsu Province, China. Solid phase extraction was used for pre-concentration samples with ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry analysis following. Results indicated that maxim...

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the environment are a hot topic. Emitted from various sources, veterinary antibiotics, prescription drugs, and beauty products continuously enter the environment, where they have been detected at trace levels in reclaimed wastewater, surface and ground water, sludge-amended agricultural soils, aquatic and terrestrial biota, as well as in raw...

The study aims to select suitable ornamental plant species that can survive relatively with high concentrations of acetaminophen and methylparaben in constructed wetlands. Alternanthera spp, Asparagus aethiopicus Chlorophytum comosum are examined withstand three initial concentrations, 20, 100 200 mg/L methylparaben. A total 21 plastic pails each 3 L capacity consisting nine used for pharmaceut...

The issue of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the water environment has gained increasing interest worldwide. To determine nature extent this problem for Poland, paper presents a review research on presence PPCPs looking at results different samples, including wastewater (before after treatment), landfill leachate, surface (standing bodies rivers), seawater, groundwater dri...

In response to the U.S. National Academies' call for a better assessment of chemical pollutants contained in the approximately 7 million dry tons of digested municipal sludge produced annually in the United States, the mean concentration of 72 pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCP) were determined in 110 biosolids samples collected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in...

Abstract Arid and semi-arid locations are increasingly utilizing nontraditional irrigation water including reclaimed wastewater. Human health risk associated with wastewater use was determined by testing reservoir, distribution line home spigot (n=190) 14 types of vegetables fruits (n=90) harvested from 5 gardens for 7 waterborne pathogens, 47 antibiotic resistance genes 12 pharmaceuticals pers...
