“…Pharmaceuticals accessing natural ecosystems via sewage water treatment plant effluents [5,33] are reported as drivers of ecological changes [18,34], and psychotropic drugs are often confirmed as inducing behavioral changes in fish and other aquatic invertebrates [13,35]. Knowledge about the behavioral endpoint of these drugs is still too scarce to summarize their ecological consequences [13].…”

Pharmaceutically active compounds are only partially removed from wastewaters and hence may be major contaminants of freshwaters. Direct and indirect effects on aquatic organisms are reported at dilute concentrations. This study was focused on the possible effects of environmentally relevant concentrations (~1 µg L−1) of two psychoactive compounds on the behavior of freshwater crayfish. Experimental animals exposed to venlafaxine did not show any behavioral alteration. Crayfish exposed to the benzodiazepine oxazepam exhibited a significant alteration in the distance moved and activity, and the effects were different when individuals were ready for reproduction. Results suggested that even the low concentration of selected psychoactive pharmaceuticals could alter the behavioral patterns of crayfish, as reported for other pharmaceuticals. These results provide new information about the possible adverse effects of pharmaceuticals at dilute concentrations. From previous knowledge and our results, it is obvious that different compounds have different effects and the effects are even specific for different taxa. Detailed studies are therefore needed to assess the possible ecological consequences of particular substances, as well as for their mixtures.

“…Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) cause serious environmental problems because of their widespread presence in water and their potential toxicity, persistence, and bioaccumulation [1][2][3] . The removal of PPCPs from water has become increasingly of interest because the discharge of PPCPs threatens both human health and environmental systems.…”

questionable due to the large amount of waste produced, which was roughly equal to the volume of treated water. When the regenerated resin was washed with 10 mL of deionized water, the amount of ibuprofen adsorbed onto MAP (0.20 mmol/g) decreased by approximately 20% in the first 5 adsorption-regeneration cycles. However, the reusability stabilized at an adsorbed amount of 0.19 ± 0.02 mmol/g, suggesting that MAP is a feasible, reusable material for ibuprofen removal from water.

“…Numerous studies have demonstrated that the discharge from WWTPs is one of the largest sources for new-emerging organic pollutants to natural environment [1] [3] [9] [10]. Many NEOPs are derived from the public's daily life, such as the highlighted PPCPs, then discharged and entered into the WWTPs directly [8]. Unfortunately, the current municipal wastewater treatment systems are not specifically designed to remove these pollutants and thus the inefficient removal (most of them are below 50%) results in the release and occurrence of organic contaminants residues in different environments such as surface water, soil, sediments and even drinking water [2] [3] [5].…”

The wide occurrence of new-emerging pollutants and their potential environmental and ecological risks have recently caused great public concerns. The paper firstly put forward the severe problem. Then the possible main reasons were analyzed which might attribute to both the inefficient removal of wastewater treatment plants with conventional technology and ignorance of the monitor and control of new-emerging pollutants in the effluents. Also, the complexity and extreme high costs may also make the organizations sidestep the problem. Finally, possible strategies to deal with the problems were proposed. The upgrade of wastewater treatment plants was important and urgent.
