Fate of drugs during wastewater treatment.

Petrie, Bruce; McAdam, Ewan J.; Scrimshaw, Mark D.; Lester, John N.; Cartmell, Elise

Abstract

Recent trends in the determination of pharmaceutical drugs in wastewaters focus on the development of rapid multi-residue methods. This review addresses recent analytical trends in drug determination in environmental matrices used to facilitate fate studies. Analytical requirements for further fate evaluation and tertiary process selection and optimization are also discussed.
