“…PPCPs can enter wastewater streams after being used, and can be transported into the environment via different pathways (Daughton 2007;Lapworth et al 2012). As a consequence, PPCPs are frequently detected in many aquatic and terrestrial environments (Luo et al 2014;Monteiro and Boxall 2010;Verlicchi and Zambello 2015). Increasing evidences suggest that environmental residues of PPCPs could adversely affect non-target organisms, ecosystem functions, and even human health (Prosser and Sibley 2015;Rosi-Marshall and Royer 2012;Wilkinson et al 2016).…”

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) consist of a variety of compounds extensively used for the treatment of human and animal diseases and for health or cosmetic reasons. PPCPs are considered as emerging environmental contaminants due to their ubiquitous presence in the environment and high environmental risks. In wastewater treatment plants using conventional activated sludge processes, many PPCPs cannot be efficiently removed. Therefore, there is an increasing need for more effective and cost-efficiency ways of removing PPCPs while treating wastewater. Algae-based technologies have recently attracted growing attentions for their potential application in wastewater treatment and hazardous contaminant removal, which are advantages in reducing operation cost while generating valuable products and sequestrating greenhouse gases at the same time. This work reviews the up-to date researches to reveal potential toxic effects of PPCPs on algae and algae-bacteria consortia, identify mechanisms involved in PPCP removal, and assess the fate of PPCPs in algae-based treatment systems. Current researches suggest that algae and algae-bacteria consortia have great potentials in PPCP removal but more works are required before algae-based technologies can be implemented in large scales. Knowledge gaps are identified and further research focuses are proposed in this review.

“…Pharmaceuticals occur in soils due to application of animal wastes, biosolids, and from the reuse of treated wastewaters (e.g., Boxall et al 2012;Verlicchi & Zambello 2015). Sorption of pharmaceuticals in soils is one of crucial factors that controls pharmaceuticals mobility in the subsurface water environ-https://doi.org/10.17221/82/2018-SWR ment (e.g., Schaffer & Licha 2015) or their uptake by plants (Wu et al 2015).…”

Fér M., Kodešová R., Golovko O., Schmidtová Z., Klement A., Nikodem A., Kočárek M., Grabic R. (2018): Sorption of atenolol, sulfamethoxazole and carbamazepine onto soil aggregates from the illuvial horizon of the Haplic Luvisol on loess. Soil & Water Res., 13: 177−183.The leakage of pharmaceuticals present in soils towards groundwater is largely controlled by sorption of those compounds in soils. In some soils, soil aggregates are covered by coatings, which may have considerably different composition in comparison to that in an inner part of the aggregates. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sorption of three pharmaceuticals, which were applied in single or all compounds solutions, onto soil samples taken from the Bt horizon of a Haplic Luvisol. Analyses were performed on three types of disturbed soil samples: (1) entire aggregates, (2) aggregates from which coatings were removed, and (3) clay-organic coatings. Sorption of atenolol onto material from coatings was slightly higher than that onto material from the inner parts of the aggregates. On the other hand, sorption of sulfamethoxazole onto material from the coatings was lower than that from the aggregate interior. Both associates with a dominant fraction of clay particles (that are mostly negatively charged) in the coatings in comparison to soil composition in interiors and thus larger cation exchange capacity, which increased sorption of the positively charged atenolol and decreased sorption of the negatively charged sulfamethoxazole. Sorption of carbamazepine, which was in neutral form, did not substantially differ. The sorption of all three compounds did not decrease due to the competition between these compounds for the same sorption sites when applied simultaneously. Atenolol sorption was similar for both applications. Sorption of sulfamethoxazole increased when applied in solution with the other two compounds in comparison to its negligible sorption measured for the single compound solution likely due to sorption of the positively charged molecules of atenolol onto the negatively charged surface of soil components and reduction of repulsion between the soil components and the negatively charged molecules of sulfamethoxazole. Carbamazepine sorption also increased probably due to ionization of molecules due to dipole -induced dipole interaction between non-polar and polar molecules in solution.

“…Diversos estudios han mostrado la adaptabilidad de los efluentes de aguas residuales tratadas en el riego de hortalizas debido a la reducción significativa de contaminantes orgánicos, microbiológicos y metales pesados que se observa (Cherfi et al 2015). Sin embargo, estos metales se acumulan en los lodos residuales y si estos son depositados al aire libre, sin un tratamiento adecuado, pueden causar un severo problema de contaminación ambiental por su contenido de patógenos, metales pesados y productos farmacéuticos (Kim et al 2015, Verlicchi y Zambello 2015.…”

Palabras clave: productos farmacéuticos, aguas de riego, metales pesados, reúso agrícola RESUMEN En México, el 54 % de las aguas residuales no reciben tratamiento y son desalojadas hacia los cuerpos de agua, suelos y canales de riego lo que genera un fuerte problema de contaminación y un alto riesgo para la salud humana y la biota acuática. En las úl-timas décadas se han detectado los denominados contaminantes emergentes en aguas superficiales con presencia de aguas residuales crudas y tratadas. Estos compuestos y sus metabolitos reactivos causan severos efectos toxicológicos en los organismos acuáticos o microorganismos del suelo aún en bajas concentraciones. El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar las propiedades físicas y químicas: pH, conductividad eléctrica (CE), sólidos disueltos totales (SDT), Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Na + , boro (B), fósforo total (P), metales traza (Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn) e identificar y cuantificar los contaminantes emergentes (farmacéuticos y drogas de abuso) en los influentes y efluentes de la Planta de Tratamiento de Aguas Residuales (PTAR) de Morelia, utilizando metodologías estandarizadas, espectrofotometría de infrarrojo (FT-IR) y espectrometría de masas (ESI-MS-TOF). Los valores de pH, CE, SDT, relación de adsorción de sodio (RAS), B, P y metales traza se encontraron dentro de los límites marcados por la norma mexicana NOM-001-ECOL-1996 y directrices internacionales para reúso de aguas residuales en agricultura. Los contaminantes emergentes identificados por ESI-MS-TOF fueron tetraciclina, cefaclor, cefadroxilo, ampicilina, clonazepam, lormetazepam, secobarbital, maprotilina, levotiroxina, cis-androsterona, paracetamol, lidocaína, bromfeniramina, fexofenadina, amfetamina, morfina, benzoilecgonina, 11-nor-Δ9-THC-9-COOH, dimetilamfetamina, fenciclidina, metadona y polietilenglicol. La eficiencia de remoción de estos contaminantes en los efluentes fue de 25.8 %, con extremos de 0 y 74.5 % para el polietilenglicol y metadona, respectivamente.
