“…From 13 to 18 h, there were not many samples detected. However, the concentration of ciprofloxacin, sulfamethoxazole and azithromycin reached higher values in that period of time and the highest concentration found for sulfapyridine was observed at 11 h. The administration of an antibiotic depends largely on the clinical picture, the condition of the patient, and the availability (Enenkel and Stille, 1988). It is important to highlight that a pattern could not be noticed in the results due to the different dosage, time of administration, and type of antibiotic used for each disease.…”

The removal efficiency of pharmaceuticals in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is variable and some of these compounds pass these plants almost intact and others presenting a removal efficiency close to 100%. Their incomplete removal results in a continuous discharge of pharmaceuticals into the environment. To assess the profile of contamination of influents and effluents over a day, a set of 83 pharmaceuticals were evaluated hourly in a WWTP in Leiria, Portugal. The composite samples of the influent and effluent were also collected. Concentrations varied from 1 in WWTP influents, and carbamazepine, fluoxetine, sertraline the pharmaceuticals with an RQ > 1 in WWTP effluents.
