Assessment of 83 pharmaceuticals in WWTP influent and effluent samples by UHPLC-MS/MS: Hourly variation

“…The highest concentration was observed for sulfamethoxazole (600 ng/L) in WWTP influents and azithromycin (283 ng/L) in WWTP effluents. As also reported by Rivera-Jaimes et al 2018, sulfamethoxazole was found at higher levels compared to trimethoprim (Rivera-Jaimes et al, 2018).…”

“…The potential ecological risk of these chemicals was evaluated according to a frequently used risk ranking criterion (Rivera-Jaimes et al, 2018). If RQ is equal or above 1 there is a potential environmental risk, whereas for values lower than 1 it is not expected risk (Ginebreda et al, 2010).…”

“…Results show that 25 and 20 pharmaceuticals were detected in the WWTP influent and effluent samples, respectively, most of them belonging to the NSAIDs/analgesic, antibiotics, and psychiatric drugs. In Table 2, the results of the present study are shown together with the results reported for the same pharmaceuticals in different countries in Europe (Afonso-Olivares et al, 2017;Aydin et al, 2017;Bahlmann et al, 2014;Baker and Kasprzyk-Hordern, 2013;Brunsch et al, 2018;Camacho-Muñoz et al, 2014;Evans et al, 2015;Gardner et al, 2013;Gracia-Lor et al, 2012;Kasprzyk-Hordern et al, 2009;Kasprzyk-Hordern et al, 2010;Kay et al, 2017;Kosma et al, 2014;Mendoza et al, 2015;Muz et al, 2012;Nakada et al, 2017;Ternes, 1998;Urtiaga et al, 2013;Vasskog et al, 2006;Verlicchi et al, 2012;, America (Conn et al, 2006;Fang et al, 2012;Gerrity et al, 2011;Lajeunesse et al, 2008;Lajeunesse et al, 2012;Nelson et al, 2011;Rivera-Jaimes et al, 2018;Spongberg and Witter, 2008;Writer et al, 2013;Yu et al, 2013;Zacarías et al, 2017), Asia (Archana et al, 2017;Aydin et al, 2017;Behera et al, 2011;Chang et al, 2008;Hong et al, 2015;Muz et al, 2012;…”
