“…The persistence of ibuprofen implies that it may behave conservatively once reaching subsurface soils where anaerobic conditions may be prevalent. Furthermore, although this pollutant can be subject to microbial degradation in surface soil under aerobic conditions (Winker et al 2010), both the poor adsorption and short residence times reported suggest that it may readily move downward (Lin and Gan 2011). Thus, groundwater contamination can take place, depending on soil properties such as organic matter content, clay content and pH (Xu et al 2009).…”

Ibuprofen is not completely removed in wastewater treatment plants, and consequently, it may enter the soil through irrigation with reclaimed water. Subsequently, due to the reversible adsorption which takes place in the soil, this emerging pollutant can become bioavailable for plants. The adsorption reversibility of this anti-inflammatory compound on four agricultural soils was quantified with adsorption-desorption experiments. The adsorption was found to be almost linear, with a minimum n ads of 0.76 and a maximum of 1.08. In contrast, desorption was nonlinear, with a n des which ranged from 0.84 to 2.75. The hysteresis index values were low, ranging from 0.42 to 0.66; hence the process takes place reversibly. In addition, ibuprofen was found to be moderately fixed in the soils studied, with organic carbon distribution coefficient (K OC ) values which ranged between 139.75 and 238.17 L/kg. Therefore, we conclude that this pollutant could be bioavailable for soil microorganisms or plants exposed to it and may reach groundwater by leaching.

“…As shown in Table 4.5, salicylic acid was found in all samples, followed by ibuprofen (81%) and paracetamol (71%), which can be explained by the high consumption of these compounds by the population. The concentration of ibuprofen in all samples is relatively small (< 1.5 ng g -1 ), due to its low soil adsorption and high biodegradability (Lin and Gan, 2011;Winker et al, 2010). In comparison with other studies on pharmaceuticals in soil, the levels found for the majority of compounds were similar to those reported in our study.…”

“…In comparison to other studies in plants (Winker et al, 2010;, where less compounds were studied, our work showed in general better recoveries. Repeatability was evaluated by analyzing six replicates within a given day and reproducibility by determining the recoveries of six replicates within different days and RSD lower than 6% and 10%, respectively, were obtained.…”

“…The presence of pharmaceutical chemicals in the environment has long been recognized as a concern because it is likely that some of these compounds may pose a risk to flora and fauna (Oetken et al, 2005;Pomati et al, 2004;Pounds et al, 2008;Stuart et al, 2012). Moreover, residual pharmaceuticals have the potential to be taken up by edible plants and then enter the food chain (Shenker et al, 2011;Winker et al, 2010). Most of the studies carried out for the determination of pharmaceuticals in the environment have focused on the aquatic compartment, as a consequence of the polar nature of the majority of these compounds and since the main route to enter the environment is through the discharge of wastewater effluents into surface water.…”

Separation of different domestic wastewater streams and targeted on-site treatment for resource recovery has been recognized as one of the most promising sanitation concepts to re-establish the balance in carbon, nutrient and water cycles. In this study a model was developed based on literature data to compare energy and water balance, nutrient recovery, chemical use, effluent quality and land area requirement in four different sanitation concepts: (1) centralized; (2) centralized with source-separation of urine; (3) source-separation of black water, kitchen refuse and grey water; and (4) source-separation of urine, feces, kitchen refuse and grey water.The highest primary energy consumption of 914 MJ/capita(cap)/year was attained within the centralized sanitation concept, and the lowest primary energy consumption of 437 MJ/cap/year was attained within source-separation of urine, feces, kitchen refuse and grey water. Grey water bio-flocculation and subsequent grey water sludge co-digestion decreased the primary energy consumption, but was not energetically favorable to couple with grey water effluent reuse. Source-separation of urine improved the energy balance, nutrient recovery and effluent quality, but required larger land area and higher chemical use in the centralized concept.
