Fate and transport of carbamazepine in soil aquifer treatment (SAT) infiltration basin soils

Fate of carbamazepine, its metabolites, and lamotrigine in soils irrigated with reclaimed wastewater: Sorption, leaching and plant uptake

“…3 and 4). Though similar behavior of carbamazepine was previously observed (Arye et al, 2011;Kinney et al, 2006;Walker et al, 2012), this is the first study evaluating the occurrence of lamotrigine in agricultural soils irrigated with reclaimed wastewater. The concentration of both PCs in the top layer of Ein Hashlosha soil was higher than that in Nir Oz soil (Fig.…”

Carbamazepine as a Possible Anthropogenic Marker in Water: Occurrences, Toxicological Effects, Regulations and Removal by Wastewater Treatment Technologies

“…In this context, carbamazepine (CBZ) has been proposed as an anthropogenic marker of sewage contamination in freshwater bodies [8,9]. CBZ is an anticonvulsant and mood stabilizing drug used primarily in the treatment of epilepsy and bipolar disorder [10]. Table 1 summarizes the salient physicochemical properties of CBZ.…”

Combining boron isotopes and carbamazepine to trace sewage in salinized groundwater: A case study in Cap Bon, Tunisia

“…The other CBZ values were lower than those measured in Shafdan (900 to 1400 ng/L in the recharged treated wastewater), which is to be expected considering that Shafdan receives municipal wastewater from the greater Tel Aviv region (Arye et al, 2011). The CBZ values are up to 6 times those reported by Fenet et al (2012) in piezometers in the vicinity of an artificial aquifer recharge site and in wells after irrigation of agricultural soils with treated wastewater at Nabeul, underlain by the same coastal aquifer in similar geological conditions 20 km south of Korba (see Fig.…”

“…The influx of dissolved organic matter originating from treated wastewater affects the behavior of organic pollutants and as such, CBZ and its metabolites are easily transported in the unsaturated and in the saturated zone when treated wastewater is used for irrigation or artificial aquifer recharge. CBZ is conservative under SAT conditions, and is not significantly degraded over years under aerobic nor anaerobic conditions (Arye et al, 2011;Gasser et al, 2010); it is even found preserved in groundwater after long flow times within the subsurface zone (Kreuziner et al, 2004). The multitracer approach using CBZ and boron concentrations has already proven efficient (Katz et al, 2009;Rabiet et al, 2006).…”
