Sorptive removal of salicylic acid and ibuprofen from aqueous solutions using pine wood fast pyrolysis biochar (2015, background): “Negative effects on humans and animals include the suppression of embryonic cell growth in humans [3], the incapacitation of liver and gills in fish [4], and the inhibition of Gram-positive bacteria [5].”
Contamination of surface, ground, and drinking water from pharmaceutical production (2009, background): “Low nanograms per liter up to a few micrograms per liter of more than 150 active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) have been detected in sewage effluents and surface waters, mainly as a result of excretion with urine and feces and to some extent from inappropriate disposal of unused drugs [1–6].”
Elimination of pharmaceuticals in sewage treatment plants in Finland. (2007, background): “However, there are not enough data about the subtle changes in the environment caused by continuous discharge of hundreds of pharmacologically active compounds into surface waters (Fent et al., 2006).”
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs): a review on environmental contamination in China. (2013, background): “Based on the toxicological data and environmental concentration levels, risks of acute toxic effects from these PPCPs are believed to be not likely (Brausch and Rand, 2011; Fent et al., 2006).”
Activated carbons from agricultural byproducts (pine tree and coconut shell), coal, and carbon nanotubes as adsorbents for removal of sulfamethoxazole from spiked aqueous solutions: Kinetic and thermodynamic studies (2015, background): “…some studies have proved the ability of such chemicals to cause mutagenic and genotoxic effects in aquatic organisms even at low doses; and, in the case of antibiotics, there is also the risk of such pharmaceuticals having adverse effects on humans (Fent et al., 2006; Richard et al., 2014).”
Carbamazepine (CBZ) induced enzymatic stress in gill, liver and muscle of a common carp, Cyprinus carpio (2012, background): “) have been reported in sewage, rivers and creeks, seawater, surface water, groundwater and drinking water resources throughout the world (Fent et al., 2006; Choi et al., 2008; Rosal et al., 2009).”
Tetracycline antibiotics in the environment: a review (2013, background): “The long-term and the low-dosed exposures to pharmaceutical products in the environment lead to the adverse impacts to the target organisms including endocrine disruption, chronic toxicity and antibiotic resistance (Andreozzi et al. 2004; Fent et al. 2006).”
Review of risk from potential emerging contaminants in UK groundwater. (2012, background): “A review by Fent et al. (2006) found that only very little is known about long-term effects of pharmaceuticals to aquatic organisms, in particular with respect to biological targets.”
The effects of the surface oxidation of activated carbon, the solution pH and the temperature on adsorption of ibuprofen (2013, background): “[2] Fent K, Weston A, Caminada D.”
Fate of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in wastewater treatment plants--conception of a database and first results. (2009, background): “…classes of drugs (Halling-Sorensen et al., 1998; Jorgensen and Halling-Sorensen 2000; Kümmerer, 2001; Heberer, 2002), the environmental risk assessment strategy (Daughton and Ternes, 1999; Jones et al., 2004; Garric and Ferrari, 2005; Hernando et al., 2005; Fent et al., 2006; Zuccato et al., 2006).”
