Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the freshwater aquatic environment

Anekwe Jennifer Ebele, Mohamed Abou‐Elwafa Abdallah, Stuart Harrad · 5 Jan 2017

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are a unique group of emerging environmental contaminants, due to their inherent ability to induce physiological effects in human at low doses. An increasing number of studies has confirmed the presence of various PPCPs in different environmental compartments, which raises concerns about the potential adverse effects to humans and…

Occurrence, sources and fate of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in the groundwater: A review

Qian Sui, Xuqi Cao, Shuguang Lu et al. · 14 Sep 2015

The presence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the aquatic environment may pose potential threat to the ecosystem and human health, hence PPCPs have aroused much concern over the world. The contamination of PPCPs in the groundwater, the main source of drinking water supply in many countries and regions, has been extensively studied…

A comprehensive review on environmental and human health impacts of chemical pesticide usage

Wei Zhou, Mengmeng Li, Varenyam Achal · 26 Aug 2024

This review critically examines the multifaceted impacts of chemical pesticides on environmental ecosystems and human health, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable pest management practices. The widespread use of pesticides, such as organochlorine compounds (e.g., DDT, endrin) known for their persistence and bioaccumulation, poses significant risks to biodiversity, water quality, and food safety. By accumulating…

Occurrence, seasonal variation and human exposure to pharmaceuticals and personal care products in surface water, groundwater and drinking water in Lagos State, Nigeria

Anekwe Jennifer Ebele, Temilola Oluseyi, Daniel S. Drage et al. · 1 Jan 2020

The occurrence of 28 pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) was investigated in 17 surface water samples (rivers, canals, and lagoons), 12 groundwater samples (wells and boreholes, which can also be consumed for drinking) and 8 drinking water samples (bottles and sachets) during dry and rainy seasons in Lagos state, Nigeria. The most prevalent compound…

Sources and environmental fate of pyrogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Arctic

Jennifer Balmer, Hayley Hung, Yong Yu et al. · 1 Jan 2019

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are large class of hydrophobic, semi-volatile organic contaminants that may enter the environment from both natural sources and anthropogenic activities. Pyrogenic PAHs arise from the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and organic matter and following dispersal via long-range transport and may subsequently deposit in surface waters, soils and sediments of remote…
