“…The pH and dissolved organic matter affect the FTP in wastewater treatment plants (Zhang et al 2014 ). After being released from the source, PPCPs are exposed to various processes such as sorption to soil and sediments, abiotic photolysis and hydrolysis, biotic degradation (Biošić et al 2017 ; Khan et al 2020 ; Shu et al 2021 ), and biotransformation (Navrátilová et al 2020 ). The transport of pharmaceuticals occurs via water channels where aquatic colloids and sediments play a significant role in acting as a sink for these pollutants (Khan et al 2020 ).…”

The study on the fate and transport of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products, PPCPs (FTP) in the environment, has received particular attention for over two decades. The PPCPs threaten ecology and human health even at low concentrations due to their synergistic effects and long-range transport. The research aims to provide an inclusive map of the scientific background of FTP research over the last 25 years, from 1996 to 2020, to identify the main characteristics, evolution, salient research themes, trends, and research hotspots in the field of interest. Bibliometric networks were synthesized and analyzed for 577 journal articles extracted from the Scopus database. Consequently, seven major themes of FTP research were identified as follows: (i) PPCPs category; (ii) hazardous effects; (iii) occurrence of PPCPs; (iv) PPCPs in organisms; (v) remediation; (vi) FTP-governing processes; and (vii) assessment in the environment. The themes gave an in-depth picture of the sources of PPCPs and their transport and fate processes in the environment, which originated from sewage treatment plants and transported further to sediment/soils/groundwater/oceans that act as the PPCPs’ major sink. The article provided a rigorous analysis of the research landscape in the FTP study conducted during the specified years. The prominent research themes, content analysis, and research hotspots identified in the study may serve as the basis of real-time guidance to lead future research areas and a prior review for policymakers and practitioners.

“…Initial inputs of soil subsurface aerobic and abiotic half‐lives of each NSAID were obtained from a laboratory‐based incubation study described in Shu et al. (2021). The sorption constant for soil organic matter ( K oc ) value of each compound was calculated based on the dissociation constant ( K d ) value measured by Zhang et al.…”

The fate and transport of non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in soil are determined by various processes and the complexity of the system lends itself to the use of computer simulation models to help understand it. This study demonstrated the first attempt to use empirical data from lab incubation and field studies to parameterize and test a process‐based agricultural systems model, Root Zone Water Quality Model 2 (RZWQM2), to simulate the fate and transport of naproxen (NPX), ibuprofen (IBF), and ketoprofen (KTF) in field‐based lysimeters amended with alkaline treated biosolids (ATB). The model calibrated for the soil water balance module and contaminant transport module was used to predict water seepage through the soil profile in 2017 and 2018 within a 15% error of the field measured data, with model performance statistics such as Nash‐Sutcliffe model efficiency (NSE) and R2 all greater than 0.70. The overall predicted percent recovery of initial spiked NSAIDs in both soil and water samples, after further calibration of the contaminant transport module, were within the same order of magnitude as the measured data. The model underestimated the percent recovery of initial spiked NSAIDs at the 30–55 cm soil depth for all treatments on day 3. The calibrated soil subsurface aerobic half‐life of NPX and IBF were found to be considerably lower than their laboratory‐measured half‐life obtained from the incubation study. The overall performance of RZWQM2 in simulating the soil hydrology and behavior of NSAIDs in soil profiles receiving various rates of ATB amendments was satisfactory.This article is protected by copyright.

“…Municipal wastewater treatment plants could remove microbiological organisms and biodegradable carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus compounds but have not been built to deal with complex pharmaceutical compounds [3,4]. The soil and groundwater contamination level with drugs depends on soil properties (such as pH, organic matter content, and clay content) and physico-chemical properties of the medicines and their metabolites [5,6]. All NSAIDs have a low acidic character (as their pKa is 4.5 for indomethacin, 4.15 for diclofenac and naproxen, and 9.38 for paracetamol) and may dissociate in solution [7].…”

Influence of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) on Photosynthetic Parameters and Secondary Metabolites of Plants from Fabaceae Family

et al. 2022

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) are commonly used painkillers, anti-inflammatory agents, and fever reducers. They arrive in the environment from municipal wastewater and/or agriculture waste, affecting growing plants. In our study, the impact of NSAIDs, namely, diclofenac, indomethacin, naproxen, and paracetamol, on four plant species from the Fabaceae family (Cicer arietinum, Pisum sativum, Lens culinaris, and Vicia faba) was tested. The assimilation rate and stomatal conductance decreased for all plants treated with NSAIDs. Chlorophyll and carotenoid contents in the leaves of plants under stress declined by more than 15% compared with the control plants, while the flavonoids and total phenols decreased to a lesser extent. In contrast, the plants treated with NSAIDs emit terpenes and green leaf were volatile, at a level of some nmol m−2 s−1, which could influence the atmospheric reaction and ozone formation.
