Occurrence and Bioaccumulation of Psychotropic Pharmaceuticals and Their Metabolites in Water and Fish in a Shallow Lake in China: Implications for Ecological and Human Health Risks
Abstract:Psychotropic
pharmaceuticalsand their metabolites are
a growing
concern for aquatic environments and may accumulate in aquatic organisms.
In this study, 21 parent psychotropic pharmaceuticals and 8 metabolites
from three categories of psychotropic drugs (anxiolytics, antiepileptics,
and antidepressants) were evaluated in Gao–Bao–Shaobo
lake (GBSL), a shallow lake in China. Among them, 18 psychotropic
pharmaceuticals and 8 metabolites were detected in water samples from
GBSL (0.2 up to ∼24.5 ng/L), and 13 psych… Show more
