“…Widespread detection of antiviral drugs in wastewaters and surface waters particularly during seasonal and pandemic influenza cases (Bartels and Tumpling, 2008;Soderstrom et al, 2009;Prasse et al, 2010;Ghosh et al, 2010a and b;Takanami et al, 2010a), and their potential negative consequences to aquatic ecology and humans (Taylor et al, 2008;Straub, 2009) has recently attracted considerable attention from scientific communities. After administration, the drugs and their metabolites are excreted, carried away in sewers, passed through treatment facilities (Fick et al, 2007;Accinelli et al, 2007Accinelli et al, , 2010aAccinelli et al, , and 2010bSlater et al, 2011) and reached water bodies.…”
