“…The occurrence and risk assessment of pharmaceuticals have been studied in aquatic environments across the world [1,11,15,[22][23][24][25][26]. However, there is limited amount of data on pharmaceuticals in African water bodies [9,27,28].…”

The occurrence and ecological risk associated with nine pharmaceuticals; Ciprofloxacin, Metronidazole, Amoxycillin, Trimethoprim, Tetracycline, Sulfamethoxazole, Ibuprofen, Diclofenac and Paracetamol were investigated in water and sediments of Usuma Dam, Abuja, Nigeria. The samples were extracted with solid phase extraction and analysed with high performance liquid chromatography coupled with UV/VIS detector (HPLC-UV/VIS). Metronidazole with a concentration range of 191.11-572.73 ng/L and Trimethoprim with a concentration range of 0.27-0.42 µg/g d.w. were the predominant antibiotics in the water and sediments respectively. Ibuprofen was the only analgesics detected in the samples. The ecological risk assessed with the worst observed data for each pharmaceutical in the samples showed that Amoxycillin and Ibuprofen pose a high toxic risk to aquatic life in the dam while Trimethoprim and Ciprofloxacin could result in medium ecological risk. The results of this study draw attention to the occurrence and ecological risks of pharmaceuticals to aquatic life.

“…Residual PPCP concentrations were still found in the water after different stages of treatment, implying that certain compounds are resistant to degradation. Contrary to the findings presented by Padhye et al (2014), Datel and Hrabankova (2020) reported that PPCP compounds responded well to the conventional water treatment technique [59]. Generally, the types and concentrations of PPCP compounds in drinking water are highly influenced by the raw water quality and the processes employed in the treatment plants.…”

The procedures for analyzing pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are typically tedious and expensive and thus, it is necessary to synthesize all available information from previously conducted research. An extensive collection of PPCP data from the published literature was compiled to determine the occurrence, pathways, and the effectiveness of current treatment technologies for the removal of PPCPs in water and wastewater. Approximately 90% of the compiled published papers originated from Asia, Europe, and the North American regions. The incomplete removal of PPCPs in different water and wastewater treatment processes was widely reported, thus resulting in the occurrence of PPCP compounds in various environmental compartments. Caffeine, carbamazepine, diclofenac, ibuprofen, triclosan, and triclocarban were among the most commonly reported compounds detected in water and solid matrices. Trace concentrations of PPCPs were also detected on plants and animal tissues, indicating the bioaccumulative properties of some PPCP compounds. A significant lack of studies regarding the presence of PPCPs in animal and plant samples was identified in the review. Furthermore, there were still knowledge gaps on the ecotoxicity, sub-lethal effects, and effective treatment processes for PPCPs. The knowledge gaps identified in this study can be used to devise a more effective research paradigm and guidelines for PPCP management.

“…Although more than 700 xenoestrogens have been identified in drinking water [ 8 ], only 11 xenoestrogen are regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) [ 8 ]. As such, scientists pay attention to the fact that xenoestrogens are often found in the raw water that is used to make drinking water, and calls are made for more government control and regulations [ 55 , 145 ].…”

Sex hormone disruptors (xenoestrogens) are a global concern due to their potential toxicity. However, to date, there has been no study to investigate the presence of xenoestrogen pollutants in the Jordanian water system. Samples in triplicates were collected from six locations in Jordan, including dams, surface water, tap or faucet water, and filtered water (drinking water—local company). Xenoestrogens were then extracted and evaluated with a yeast estrogen screen utilizing Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Later, possible pollutants were mined using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled with a Bruker impact II Q-TOF-MS. Possible hits were identified using MetaboScape software (4000 compounds), which includes pesticide, pharmaceutical pollutant, veterinary drug, and toxic compound databases and a special library of 75 possible xenoestrogens. The presence of xenoestrogens in vegetable samples collected from two different locations was also investigated. The total estrogen equivalents according to the YES system were 2.9 ± 1.2, 9.5 ± 5, 2.5 ± 1.5, 1.4 ± 0.9 ng/L for King Talal Dam, As-Samra Wastewater Treatment Plant, King Abdullah Canal, and tap water, respectively. In Almujeb Dam and drinking water, the estrogenic activity was below the detection limit. Numbers of identified xenoestrogens were: As-Samra Wastewater Treatment Plant 27 pollutants, King Talal Dam 20 pollutants, Almujeb Dam 10 pollutants, King Abdullah Canal 16 pollutants, Irbid tap water 32 pollutants, Amman tap water 30 pollutants, drinking water 3 pollutants, and vegetables 7 pollutants. However, a large number of compounds remained unknown. Xenoestrogen pollutants were detected in all tested samples, but the total estrogenic capacities were within the acceptable range. The major source of xenoestrogen pollutants was agricultural resources. Risk evaluations for low xenoestrogen activity should be taken into account, and thorough pesticide monitoring systems and regular inspections should also be established.
