“…Consequently, BE represents the primary cocaine metabolite and it is detected in almost all surface water (SurW) and sewage treatment plants (STP) effluents in Europe always at levels higher than cocaine [3,4]. Although the removal of BE in conventional STP is typically 80% [5,6], the effluent concentrations is in the range 0.1-3275 ngL -1 [7,8]. BE in SurW ranges between 0.3-530 ngL -1 [9][10][11] and in river sediments is reported as 1.0 ng g -1 [12].…”

“…Indeed, it was chosen an initial concentration of BE higher than usually found in effluents or SurW [7][8][9][10][11][12] to better assess ecotoxicological effects of by-products solutions, as reported in previous studies [36][37][38]. Furthermore, such high concentrations are not of limited relevance because they are suitable to determine the median effective concentration (EC50), an indicator of by-products toxicity and the time onset of the effects.…”

“…Informações deste tipo sobre drogas de abuso ainda são escassas, principalmente no que tange às propriedades relevantes à compreensão dos riscos associados à exposição ambiental de humanos e outros seres vivos a estas substâncias. [6][7][8] A Tabela 1 apresenta alguns destes parâmetros para drogas de abuso e seus metabólitos.…”

“…3 Nos últimos anos, pesquisas colocaram em evidência um novo grupo de contaminantes emergentes constituído por drogas de abuso e substâncias psicotrópicas, cuja produção, comercialização e consumo são proibidos ou, em alguns países, objeto de controle. [4][5][6][7][8] Parte dessas substâncias, inalteradas ou sob a forma de metabólitos, é excretada através da urina e das fezes alcançando, invariavelmente, diferentes compartimentos ambientais.…”
