Los productos farmacéuticos activos representan un grupo de contaminantes, que aunque en pequeñas cantidades en el medio ambiente, son motivo de preocupación ya que están diseñados para ser intrínseca y biológicamente activos y potencialmente estables en virtud de los procesos metabólicos. Hoy en día, se reconoce por la comunidad científica que laexposición continua de dosis bajas de productos farmacéuticos puede producir efectos a largo plazo sobre el medio ambiente como consecuencia de posibles daños irreversibles del ecosistema y la salud humana (Silva et al; 2012. Rahman et al; 2009a). Debido a la alta polaridad y baja volatilidad, la mayoría de los productos farmacéuticos tienden a ser fácilmente transportados y descargados en los cuerpos de agua (Zhang et al, 2014).

“…Pharmaceuticals in water can threaten the quality of drinking water resources, can lead to spread of antibiotic resistance [241,348] and can be toxic to some aquatic organisms [147,263] . The presence and fate of these compounds have become a growing worldwide concern for politicians and the general public [118,342] . For example, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and European Union have added pharmaceuticals to their watch list for water quality [60,314] .…”

The occurrence of 21 selected pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in river water was examined; meanwhile the presence and removal of these PhACs at different water treatment steps in two conventional drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) were evaluated. Monitoring results showed that of all 21 target PhACs, twelve PhACs were ubiquitously detected in water samples from the Yangtze river and its two tributaries (Jialing River and Huaxi stream), whereas alodipine was not found in any river water sample. The concentrations of PhACs detected in Huaxi stream were statistically significantly higher than those found in the Jialing River and the Yangzi River because of the direct discharges of uncontrolled domestic sewage and poultry wastewater and the abuse of PhACs in the rural areas served by the Huaxi stream. An environmental risk assessment of PhACs based on the risk quotient value approach indicated that sulfamethoxazole, ofloxacin and dehydrated erythromycin and clofibric acid had a medium risk, and the mixture of the studied PhACs showed high risk for the aquatic ecosystems. Fourteen out of 21 target PhACs were found in the raw water of the two studied DWTPs with azithromycin having the highest concentration (about 20 ng/L). Following the conventional water treatment processes, the studied PhACs were found to be removed by an average of 54 and 48% in DWTP A and DWTP B, respectively. Among the target PhACs, six and three PhACs were detected in finished water of DWTP B and DWTP A, respectively. This is the first study in southwestern China reporting the presence of PhACs in surface water and drinking water.
