“…The highest annual input corresponded to LAS (406 kg) and SPCs (482 kg), which indicates the dominant influence of urban effluents in this area. However inputs between 1 and 9 kg·year − 1 were found for AEO and NPEO (4-16 EO units), which are similar to those previously detected for pesticides (Moreno- or pharmaceuticals (Moreno- González et al, 2014). Three general patterns could be observed: a) the amount of LAS entering the watercourse was fairly stable over the year compared to other target compounds, but lower than the input of SPCs in spring and summer; b) much lower inputs of NPEOs than AEOs throughout the year; and c) both non-ionic surfactants enter the watercourse preferentially in winter.…”

“…It was obvious that the levels of these compounds in pools during weekends (mean 174 ng L −1 ) were much higher than those during weekdays (mean 52.3 ng L −1 ). This may be due to the fact that the swimming pools were heavily used and introduced more parabens during the weekends (Moreno-Gonzalez et al 2014).…”

As an emerging group of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, parabens have attracted growing attention due to their potential effects on human health. In the present study, the occurrence and distribution of eight parabens, four chlorinated parabens, and their common hydrolysis product, phydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA), were investigated in 39 swimming pools in Beijing, China. Methyl paraben and propyl paraben were the predominant compounds in swimming pools, accounting for 91.2 % of the total parabens. It is noteworthy that octyl paraben, a paraben with longer chain, was firstly detected in this study. There were several factors affecting the levels of parabens among the 39 swimming pools. The concentrations of parabens and chlorinated derivatives detected in indoor pools (144 ng L −1 ) were roughly 20-fold higher than those in outdoor pools (6.78 ng L −1 ). Hotel pools appear to present higher level of target compounds (361 ng L −1 ) than that in health club (228 ng L −1 ), municipal (130 ng L −1 ), school (75.6 ng L −1 ), and community pools (63.0 ng L −1 ). Moreover, the level of these compounds in pools during weekends (174 ng L −1 ) was much higher than that during weekdays (52.3 ng L −1 ). The dynamics of target compounds were also investigated to provide a general trend of the level of parabens in a school indoor swimming pool during a 14-week period. Human exposure assessment was conducted to estimate the potential risk of exposure to parabens and their chlorinated derivatives in swimming pools. Considering the total exposure dose of multiple parabens, human exposure to parabens from the water of swimming pools is negligible. However, the threat of these parabens to children in swimming pool should be concerned.

“…They are a diverse group of chemical substances used every day in human and veterinary medicine, in agriculture and in cosmetic care (Ávila and García, 2015); they are included in the category of emergent contaminants which have been present in our lives for decades, but only a few years ago their presence in nature has been particularly confirmed in aqueous environments (Moreno et al, 2014). Some of the sources of pollution are the wastewaters from hospitals, agriculture, industrial and domestic activities, which also are present in diffuse discharges as a result of run-offs in areas where human and animal wastes are not treated or confined.…”

Presencia de productos farmacéuticos y de cuidado personal en aguas residuales domésticas y su eliminación en sistemas de tratamiento anaerobios: tanque séptico -filtro anaerobio de flujo ascendente ABSTRACTIn several countries around the world, Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) exist in aquatic environments, a fact that increases the awareness within the scientific community with respect to their possible fate and environment effects. This research presents a preliminary monitoring of use, consumption and presence of PPCPs in wastewater from a treatment plant in a rural area of Pereira (Colombia). Domestic sewage is treated in a septic tank followed by an Up-Flow Anaerobic Filter and its effluent is discharged into the Otún River, upstream of the water intake of the supply system of the city. The compounds monitored in this research included ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, aspirin, ketoprofen, caffeine, galaxolide, tonalide and dihydrojasmonate. An adapted method of multi-residue analysis was used, which is based on solid phase extraction with hydrophilic-lipophilic balance cartridges, and determination by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The removal efficiencies demonstrated that the treatment plant could eliminate less than 50 % of dihydrojasmonate, diclofenac and galaxolide existing in wastewater; concentration of aspirin, naproxen and tonalide could only be reduced in 15 %; and caffeine, ibuprofen and ketoprofen were not removed. Results provided basic information to decide over the necessity of complementary treatments for effluents from systems with the mentioned units. Keywords:Medicines, personal care, emerging pollutants, socio-demographic characteristics, domestic wastewater. RESUMENEn muchos países del mundo, los productos farmacéuticos y de cuidado personal (PPCPs) están presentes en el medio acuático, aumentando las preocupaciones entre la comunidad científica respecto a sus posibles destinos y efectos ambientales. Esta investigación presenta un monitoreo preliminar del uso y consumo de PPCPs y su presencia en las aguas residuales de una planta de tratamiento en zona rural de Pereira (Colombia), donde los vertimientos domésticos son tratadas en un sistema tanque séptico-filtro anaerobio y cuyo efluente se vierte en el río Otún antes de la bocatoma del acueducto de la ciudad. Los compuestos monitoreados en esta investigación incluyen ibuprofeno, naproxeno, diclofenaco, aspirina, ketoprofeno, cafeína, galaxolide, tonalida y dihidrojasmonato. Se utilizó un método de análisis multiresiduo adaptado, que se basa en la extracción en fase sólida con cartuchos de balance hydrophiliclipophilic y determinación por cromatografía de gases-espectrometría de masas. La planta de tratamiento pudo eliminar menos del 50 % del dihidrojasmonato, diclofenaco y galaxolida del agua residual; las concentraciones de aspirina, naproxeno y tonalida sólo fueron reducidas en un 15 %, y la cafeína, ibuporfeno y ketoprofeno no fueron removidos. Estos resultados proporcionan información base para decidir sob...
