"Analysis, Removal, Effects and Risk of Pharmaceuticals in the
Water Cycle" provides an overview of the current analytical methods
for trace determination of pharmaceuticals in environmental
samples. The book also reviews the fate and occurrence of
pharmaceuticals in the water cycle for their elimination in
wastewater and drinking water treatment, focusing on the newest
developments in treatment technologies, such as membrane
bioreactors and advanced oxidation processes.
Pharmaceutically active substances are a class of new, so-called
emerging contaminants that have raised great concern in recent
years. Human and veterinary drugs are continuously being released
into the environment mainly as a result of the manufacturing
processes, the disposal of unused or expired products, and via
excreta. The analytical methodology for the determination of trace
pharmaceuticals in complex environmental matrices is still
evolving, and the number of methods described in the literature has
grown considerably. This volume leads the way, keeping chemistry
students, toxicologists, engineers, wastewater managers and related
professionals current with developments in this quickly evolving
area.
