“…The stability of these pharmaceutical compounds in these environments raises many questions. Grabic et al (2022) studied the desorption of various pharmaceuticals from different stabilized sludge types across different pH values. Their results found that there were lower desorbed fractions within aerobically stabilized sludges compared to anaerobically stabilized ones.…”

This review focuses on the behaviour of four psychoactive compounds (carbamazepine, tramadol, sertraline and citalopram) in the environment. The review presents how they may directly affect freshwater systems, soils and living organisms and to which extent. The transformation of these very stable compounds in soils were controlled by oxidation, demethylation, decarboxylation and hydroxylation. Sorption to organic matter and clay particles controlled their mobility. Despite their expected sorption in soils, sediments and sludge, all compounds can be taken up by plants and by fish. In plants, all compounds and several of their metabolites were found in the leaves, indicating the mobility and transformation of the compounds within the plant systems. Factors that control the compounds mobility in plants were found to be the pH of soils and the xylem flow. As for fish, many of the compounds were found in the brain and muscles of fish, some of which, depending on the species, affected the behaviour of the fish. The implications of these compounds so widely present in the environment indicate the need for certain measures to be put into place to prevent these compounds from continuously entering plant and animal systems.

The presented work aimed to investigate the effect of thermal treatment on sludge from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the Slovak Republic on the content of pharmaceuticals (PhACs) and illicit drugs. Sludge samples from eight WWTPs (total flows of 6900–62,500 m3/day, number of population equivalents over 40,000 for each WWTP, production of sludge 400–3300 tons DM/year) were treated with thermal processes in the temperature range of 80 to 550 °C. More than 100 compounds were studied in the sludge samples, but in this article, we deeply focused on the fate of the thirteen most concentrated and frequently found PhACs (azithromycin, carbamazepine, cetirizine, citalopram and its metabolite N-desmethylcitalopram, diclofenac, fexofenadine, sertraline and its metabolite norsertraline, telmisartan, trazodone, valsartan, and verapamil). The thermal processes used showed a decrease in PhAC concentrations already at 80 °C when the total concentration of selected PhACs decreased to 81%. In thermally treated sludge samples at 250 °C, only telmisartan at all studied WWTPs and diclofenac at WWTP Banská Bystrica stayed above the limits of quantification (LOQs), while the temperature of 550 °C led to a decrease in all thirteen PhACs below LOQs.
