The presence of pharmaceuticals in drinking water is a topic of concern. Previous risk
assessments indicate that their low concentrations are very unlikely to pose risks to human …

Abstract Potential health effects of 1, 4-dioxane and the limited data on its occurrence in the
water cycle command for more research. In the current study, mobility and persistence of 1, 4 …

Concerns on the presence of emerging contaminants (ECs) in water sources have
increased in recent years. The lack of efficient technologies to remove ECs from residual …

In this work the electrochemical oxidation of losartan, an emerging pharmaceutical pollutant,
was studied. Electrochemical oxidation was carried out in batch mode, in an open and …

The chemical pollution of water resources is a major challenge facing the humanity in this
century. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are a group of emerging …

In this study we propose for the first time an approach for the tentative derivation of effect-
based water quality trigger values for an apical endpoint, the cytotoxicity measured by the …

Contaminants of emerging concern or, simply, emerging contaminants represent a newly
discovered group of chemicals present in surface and groundwater. It was only the …

Septic systems may contribute micropollutants to shallow groundwater and surface water.
We constructed two in situ conventional drainfields (drip dispersal and gravel trench) and an …

The levels of 14 micropollutants including nine pharmaceuticals, two pesticides, and three
endocrine disruptors were measured in a water treatment plant (WTP) in Seoul, Korea …

Pharmaceutical compounds in surface water are perceived as contaminants of emerging
concern due to their impacts on the aquatic environment and human health. The risk …
