“…Asimismo, se reportó que la carbamazepina se bioacumula en peces -como es el caso de la carpa C. carpio-, provocándoles alteraciones en los niveles enzimáticos de TGO (transaminasa glutámico oxaloacética), TGP (transaminasa glutámico pirúvica) y LDH (deshidrogenasa láctica). Estas mediciones fueron propuestas como biomarcadores para determinar los niveles de bioconcentración de fármacos en esta especie de consumo (Malarvizhi et al 2012, Valdés et al 2016, Zemann et al 2016. Se ha demostrado que los humanos que ingieren de forma continua este anticonvulsivo padecen efectos secundarios tales como disminución en la fluidez del lenguaje, debido a las alteraciones que provoca en la actividad del glóbulo cerebral (Tully 2018).…”

“…Por otra parte, como cierta parte de los fármacos no son metabolizados, tanto en humanos como en animales de granja, son eliminados por la orina y las heces, lo cual contribuye también a la contaminación de las aguas del sistema de drenaje (Braund et al 2009, Kusturica et al 2016. Una vez en el agua, los metabolitos pueden reaccionar con otros residuos generando nuevas sustancias químicas (Nagarajan et al 2012, Zemann et al 2016.…”

El agua es el vehículo por el cual se transportan diversos tipos de desechos provenientes de diferentes actividades productivas, de tal forma que ríos, canales, lagunas y mares se contaminan con éstos. Esta situación se ha presentado en México desde hace más de 200 años, y en la actualidad se están generando nuevos contaminantes no reglamentados en las aguas de reúso o tratadas. En el caso de residuos de fármacos, su persistencia y entrada continua a mantos acuíferos originan efectos negativos sobre la vida y el ambiente acuático, debido a que no se eliminan totalmente en los procesos de tratamiento de aguas residuales a causa de su estabilidad química. Este tipo de agua se reutiliza para la producción de agua potable o el riego de zonas agrícolas, de manera que la salud humana y animal se encuentran expuestas a los efectos toxicológicos de este tipo de sustancias químicas. Se realizó la búsqueda de reportes acerca de la contaminación de residuos farmacológicos en diferentes tipos de agua —residual o no— y suelos agrícolas, tanto internacionales como nacionales, de 1984 a 2018. Se concluyó que no hay hasta hoy una normatividad nacional ni internacional idónea sobre la forma en que debe realizarse la eliminación de este tipo de desechos para al medio ambiente en la menor medida posible.

“…Today, treated wastewater is increasingly being used to provide water for agricultural and landscaping operations in many parts of the world. Pharmaceuticals in reclaimed water can accumulate in soil and sediment through a process of evaporative enrichment [43]. The long term implications of this form of pollution have not been determined.…”

One of the first widely used, synthetically-produced pesticides was the organochloride class agent DDT. From the Second World War until its ban in the early 1970's, DDT was deployed on a vast scale for control of insects and insect-borne diseases and as a highly effective agricultural pesticide [11]. For example, over a half million pounds of DDT was applied to salt marshes in Cape May County, New Jersey

“…These findings are based on the analysis of groundwater samples collected from six boreholes located in the industrial locality near Farmak a. s. in Olomouc. The authors reported that psychopharmaceuticals were detected in all groundwater samples with concentration ranging from tens of ng/L to hundreds of mg/L (Kˇresinová et al, 2016) The effect of climate change and groundwater vulnerability to pharmaceutical pollution is recently reported in a study conducted by Zemann et al (2016). The authors reported that the evaporative accumulation due to climate change could serve as a sink of persistent pharmaceuticals that may eventually contaminate the groundwater resources.…”

Groundwater is a critical resource that serve as a source of drinking water to large human population and, provide long-term water for irrigation purposes. In recent years; however, this precious resource being increasingly threatened, due to natural and anthropogenic activities. A variety of contaminants of emerging concern such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products, perfluorinated compounds, endocrine disruptors, and biological agents detected in the groundwater sources of both developing and developed nations. In this review paper, various studies have been included that documented instances of groundwater pollution and vulnerability to emerging contaminants of concern, pesticides, heavy metals, and leaching potential of various organic and inorganic contaminants from poorly managed residual waste products (biosolids, landfills, latrines, and septic tanks etc.). Understanding vulnerability of groundwater to pollution is critical to maintain the integrity of groundwater. A section on managed artificial recharge studies is included to highlight the sustainable approaches to groundwater conservation, replenishment and sustainability. This review paper is the synthesis of studies published in last one year that either documented the pollution problems or evaluated the vulnerability of groundwater pollution.
