“…Individuals may add PPCPs to the environment through waste excretion or bathing, as well as by directly disposing of unused medications into septic tanks, sewers, or trash containers. Their presence has been identified and quantified in WWTP effluents [14], surface waters [15], drinking water [150], groundwater [151], biosolids [152], agricultural manures [153] and biota [154]. With hundreds of different PPCPs in the market (see Table 1), WWTPs represent a key potential point source to the aquatic environment, but at the same time a major opportunity for centralised removal processes.…”

“…The fate of fragrance materials in the aquatic environment can either involve sorption to particles and sedimentation, accumulation in aquatic organisms, (bio)degradation or volatilization to the atmosphere (Osemwengie and Gerstenberger 2004;Salvito et al 2002). Other fragrance materials have been found in aquatic organisms such as mussels, clams and a number of fish species including eels (Draisci et al 1998;Duedahl-Olesen et al 2005;Franke et al 1999;Fromme et al 1999Fromme et al , 2001Gatermann et al 1999Gatermann et al , 2002aOsemwengie and Gerstenberger 2004;Osemwengie and Steinberg 2003) as well as in sharks, seals, otters, dolphins and porpoises (Kannan et al 2005;Nakata 2005). However, AC has to our knowledge not been reported in aquatic organisms.…”

"Investigation of the fate and effects of acetyl cedrene on Capitella teleta and sediment bacterial community" (2010). Valery Forbes Publications. 10. http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/biosciforbes/10 AbstractThe fate of the fragrance material, acetyl cedrene (AC), in sediment was examined in a 16 day laboratory experiment using the sediment microbial community subjected to the following treatments: AC (nominal concentration; 0 and 50 μg g −1 dw sediment) and macrofaunal worms (with/without Capitella teleta (formerly Capitella sp. I)). Furthermore effects of AC on microbial respiration in the system were determined by examining CO 2 flux. T-RFLP (terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism) was used to analyze PCR (polymerase chain reaction) amplified 16S DNA gene fragments from the sediments to detect changes in the structure and diversity of the bacterial community. In addition, survival of C. teleta in sediment was determined. Lastly, we examined how the interactions between microbes and C. teleta in the sediment affected the above-mentioned parameters. The results showed that there was an interaction between worm treatment and time of sampling on the loss of AC from the sediment. This was caused by AC loss initially being fastest in the sediment with C. teleta present, but at experimental termination there was no significant difference between the two treatments (i.e., with/ without worms) in the amount of AC remaining in the sediment. Survival of C. teleta was significantly reduced by AC at experimental termination, but neither microbial respiration nor structure and diversity of the bacterial community were significantly affected.

Organic-geochemical investigations were performed on layers of a dated sediment core taken from a riparian wetland of the Lippe river, Germany. The samples were collected from two distinct depth intervals representing sedimentation periods of 1944-1952 and 1972-1984, respectively. Comprehensive screening analyses by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) revealed a complex mixture of anthropogenic contaminants. Here, we report the quantitative distribution of selected persistent lipophilic organic substances characterizing municipal as well as industrial emissions. Considering both geochemical and geochronological data, we deduced time-dependent information about industrial production and domestic effluents for the region investigated. In addition, usage and subsequent emission of characteristic pollutants into the riverine system were interpreted for both time periods monitored.
