Resumo(s)
"The need to significantly improve human living conditions led to a large
increase in the worldwide consumption of pharmaceutical drugs. Over the past
few years, the development of advanced analytical tools and investigations on
wastewater samples confirmed the presence of residual amounts of active
pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs),
sewage treatment plants (STPs), groundwater and drinking water. Even at low
concentrations (ng.L-1 – μg.L-1), the regular contact and ingeston of APIs can lead
to deleterious effects towards living organisms. Numerous studies demonstrated
that APIs present in WWTPs are a matter of concern towards wildlife and public
health. Given the widespread occurance of these drugs in aquatic ecossystems
and their deleterious effects, the development of strategies able to mitigate their
introduction in the aquatic environment is of great importance.(...)"
