In contrast to some conventional pollutants, they are continuously delivered at low levels, which might give rise to toxicity even without high persistence rates. These chemicals are designed to have a specific physiological mode of action and to resist frequently inactivation before exerting their intended therapeutic effect. These features, among others, result in the bioaccumulation of pharmaceuticals which are responsible for toxic effects in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. It is extremely important to know how to remove them from the environment and/or how to implement procedures or treatments resulting in their biological inactivation. Although great advances have been made in their detection in aquatic matrices, there remains limited analytical methodologies available for the trace analysis of target and non-target pharmaceuticals in matrices such as soils, sediments, or biota. There are still many gaps in the data on their fate and behavior in the environment as well as on their threats to ecological and human health. This book has included nine current research and three review articles in this field.Research & information: generalbicsscEnvironmental economicsbicsscifosfamidecyclophosphamide5-fluorouracilcytostatic drugBDD anodeelectrochemical oxidationintermediateslincomycinmonensinroxarsonemigrationresidualtoxicitypharmaceuticalsendocrine disrupting compoundshydroponic cultivationdetermining target pollutants in plant materialsmunicipal wastewater treatment plantsionic liquidsgreen chemistryenvironmental and biological samplessample preparationdetermination of pharmaceuticalschromatographic methodselectromigration techniquessulfamethoxazoleantibiotic resistance genessul genesbacterial communityconstructed wetlandsenvironmental contaminantspharmaceuticals occurrenceaquatic compartmentssoilpoultry farmsultra-high performance liquid chromatographyantibiotics, antibiotic resistanceantibioticswastewatersewage sludgerisk assessmentremoval efficiencyLC-MS/MS analysisSpirotoxfluoxetinesertralineparoxetinemianserinpharmaceuticals in the environmentwastewaterspharmaceutical residuesconventional wastewater treatmentssolid phase extractionpharmaceuticals toxicityenvironmental risk assessmentantibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB)wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs)activated sludge (AS)constructed wetlands (CWs)environmental pollutionspread of resistancetetracyclinessulfonamidesfate in the environmentfate in WWTPsecotoxicityantibiotic resistancedevelopment of methodsResearch & information: generalEnvironmental economicsKumirska Jolantaedt1290947Kumirska JolantaothBOOK9910557113103321Pharmaceutical Residues in the Environment3021677UNINA
