“…Regeneration of autochthonous DOM and nutrients from POM in DOM-rich waters (Goldman et al, 1972;Carrillo et al, 2002;Vähätalo et al, 2003;Kopáček et al, 2003Kopáček et al, , 2004Vähätalo and Zepp, 2005;Bronk et al, 2007;Stedmon et al, 2007aStedmon et al, , 2007bLi et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2008;Stedmon et al, 2007aStedmon et al, , 2007bLi et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2009;Fu et al, 2010;Mostofa et al, 2011Mostofa et al, , 2013aLetscher et al, 2013) is a key factor for the enhancement of photosynthesis or primary production and for the subsequent harmful algal blooms (Goldman et al, 1972;Vähätalo et al, 2003;Bronk et al, 2007;Mostofa et al, 2013bMostofa et al, , 2013d. The process is favored in surface waters by the increase of water temperature and of the vertical stratification period, and by the extension of the euphotic zone that is expected to take place because of global warming (Huisman et al, 2006;Mostofa et al, 2013d).…”

“…Adverse effects include for instance the production of reactive oxygen species in fish (Gonzalez et al, 1998;Laville et al, 2004;Fent et al, 2006;Mostofa et al, 2013aMostofa et al, , 2013b. Pharmaceuticals are detected in water at concentrations in the range of ng L −1 to µg L −1 , and they are also found in fish or other organisms (Jones et al, 2001;Laville et al, 2004;Fent et al, 2006;Ramirez et al, 2009;Corcoran et al, 2010;Santos et al, 2010;Mostofa et al, 2013a). The highest pharmaceutical concentrations (µg L −1 to mg L −1 ) are found in river waters, in the effluents of hospitals/clinics and in those near pharmaceutical industries, and at the outlet of sewerage treatment plants (Qiting and Xiheng, 1988;Holm et al, 1995;Jones et al, 2001;Fent et al, 2006;Santos et al, 2010).…”

“…Second, residues of pharmaceuticals are present in manufacturers' wastewaters resulting from production processes (Holm et al, 1995;. The released compounds are transmitted to fish or other aquatic organisms and seafood, from which they can reach humans through food consumption (Mostofa et al, , 2013aMottaleb et al, 2005Mottaleb et al, , 2009Richardson 2007;Ramirez et al, 2009). Furthermore, over-manufacturing of drugs (such as in the '100 tablets in a bottle' case) has additional production costs as well as environmental impact, due to raw materials, electricity, gases, organic solvents, which are all needed in the process.…”

Highly urbanized watersheds exert strong pressure on water resources, since when organic matters present in anthropogenic effluents are in excess, especially labile fractions, a strong impact on degradation of water quality, aquatic fauna and flora, and the overall ecosystem is often observed. Robust monitoring strategies are therefore required to better estimate the organic pollution in urban rivers. Fluorescence spectroscopy is being used for organic matter identification and characterization in several environments, with well‐known and widely documented procedures, data handling, analysis, and interpretation. In terms of water quality planning and management in urban rivers, the combination of conventional analytical methods (e.g. biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC)) with fluorescence spectroscopy and the development of in situ technologies are vital to improve our understanding of the watershed dynamics, track the organic pollution sources and pathways, and, consequently, help predict future trends under changing environment with increasing human pressure. In this article, we present a synthesis on the application of fluorescence spectroscopy in urban rivers, focusing on (i) the organic matter sources and transformation mechanisms, (ii) how the techniques have been used, the main advantages, disadvantages, interferences, and the potential for future works, and (iii) challenges in water quality planning and management.
