“…The occurrence of psychopharmaceuticals and illicit drugs in European surface waters and their associated risks were the focus of a study by Davey et al 143 From a total of 702 compounds classified as psychopharmaceuticals and illicit drugs, occurrence data was available for 49% and ecotoxicity data for 15% only. Risks were assessed for 12% of compounds, with 3.3% posing potential risks.…”

BACKGROUND AND TRENDSThis biennial review covers developments in water analysis for emerging environmental contaminants mainly over the period of September 2021−December 2023 (with a few in early 2024). Analytical Chemistry's policy is to limit reviews to a maximum of ∼250 significant references and to mainly focus on new trends. Therefore, only a small fraction of the quality research publications are discussed. The previous Water Analysis review (with Thomas Ternes) was published in 2022. 1 This year, Tarek Manasfi joined to cover the section on pharmaceuticals and hormones. We welcome any comments you have on this Review

“…The remaining data were labeled as other species (Figure 5, left). Subsequently, for each environmental compartment, we analyzed the distribution of the available ecotoxicity data over acute and chronic tests, following the criteria summarized by Davey et al (2022); see the Supporting Information, Table S7. Next we investigated the five most extensively studied endpoints and placed the remaining endpoints within each species group, labeling these as "other effects" in Figure 5 (right).…”

Per‐ and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) are a group of thousands ubiquitously applied persistent industrial chemicals. The field of PFAS environmental research is developing rapidly, but suffers from substantial biases towards specific compounds, environmental compartments, and organisms. The aim of this perspective was therefore to highlight current developments, and to identify knowledge gaps and subsequent research needs that would contribute to a comprehensive environmental risk assessment for PFAS. To this end, we consulted the open literature and databases, revealing that knowledge of the environmental fate of PFAS is based on the analysis of less than 1% of the compounds categorized as PFAS. Moreover, soils and suspended particulate matter (SPM) remain largely understudied. PFAS bioavailability, bioaccumulation and food web transfer studies also focus on a very limited number of compounds and are biased towards aquatic biota. Fish are predominantly studied, while aquatic invertebrates and macrophytes are included less frequently. The available ecotoxicity data revealed that only a few PFAS have been well‐studied for their environmental hazards, and that PFAS ecotoxicity data are strongly biased towards aquatic organisms as well. This emphasizes the need to catch up with ecotoxicity studies in the terrestrial environment. Considering the persistency and bioaccumulation of PFAS, more chronic, multigeneration and community ecotoxicity studies are needed. Finally, we identified the urgent need to unravel the relationship between sorption, bioaccumulation and ecotoxicity on the one hand and molecular descriptors of PFAS chemical structures and physicochemical properties on the other, to enable prediction of exposure, bioaccumulation and toxicity.

“…Drug abuse is a prominent issue of concern from pole to pole [ 1 ]. Drugs are excreted by the human body as parents or metabolites, enter sewage networks, and then contaminate surface water through effluent discharge [ 2 ]. In conjunction with the types of drugs rising and the number of abusers growing, the number of pharmaceuticals detected in aquatic environments is also increasing [ 3 ].…”
