Thus, their occurrence in aquatic environments may cause undesirable effects in living organisms and, if present in water sources for human consumption, may constitute a public health issue. However, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), which have not been designed for the removal of pharmaceuticals and cannot guarantee their full elimination, are considered hotspots for their dissemination in natural waters. In this context, the Special Issue (SI) entitled "Removal of Pharmaceuticals from Water: Conventional and Alternative Treatments" was launched to contribute to the assessment of the contemporary challenges and advances in the removal of pharmaceuticals from wastewater. Papers published in the SI, which have been compiled in this book, approached the topic with either of the following different perspectives: (i) the fate and removal of pharmaceuticals by conventional treatments applied in existing WWTPs; or (ii) advanced and alternative green approaches to remove pharmaceuticals from water. Apart from the Editorial, papers published within this SI include two literature reviews and six experimental studies, all of them presenting unconventional approaches, original views, innovative research and/or novel methodologies. This compilation will definitely spark the attention of readers intrigued in the topic, and is useful for researchers in the field. 517 $aRemoval of Pharmaceuticals from Water 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aabatement options 610 $aadvanced oxidation processes 610 $aalgae 610 $aantibiotics 610 $aantibiotics removal efficiency 610 $abioremediation 610 $abiosorption 610 $aDanio rerio 610 $aelectrooxidation 610 $aemerging contaminants 610 $aemerging contaminants (ECs) 610 $aFenton 610 $afungi 610 $aheterogeneous photocatalysis 610 $ahydrogen peroxide 610 $aLC-ToF/MS 610 $aMalaysian aquatic environment 610 $aMoringa stenopetala 610 $an/a 610 $aozone 610 $aparacetamol 610 $apharmaceutical consumption 610 $apharmaceuticals 610 $aphotolysis 610 $aphyco-remediation 610 $aremoval of pharmaceuticals 610 $asonochemical oxidation 610 $asorption 610 $atransportation of pharmaceuticals 610 $awastewater 610 $awastewater treatment 610 $awater quality 610 $awater treatment 610 $awater-soluble proteins 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aOtero$b Marta$4edt$01304470 702 $aEscapa$b Carla$4edt 702 $aCoimbra$b Ricardo N$4edt 702 $aOtero$b Marta$4oth 702 $aEscapa$b Carla$4oth 702 $aCoimbra$b Ricardo N$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557776303321 996 $aRemoval of Pharmaceuticals from Water: Conventional and Alternative Treatments$93031372 997 $aUNINA
