Many of the products and drugs used commonly contain chemical components which may persist through sewage treatment works (STW) and eventually enter the aquatic environment as parent compounds, metabolites, or transformation products. Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and other emerging contaminants (ECs) have been detected in waters (typically ng/L) as well as more recently bound to sediment and plastic particles (typically ng/g). Despite significant advancement of knowledge since the late 1990s, the fate of these contaminants/transformation products once introduced into the aquatic environment remains relatively unresolved. This review provides a unique focus on the fate of seven major groups of PPCPs/ECs in the aquatic environment, which is frequently not found in similar works which are often compound or topic-specific and limited in background knowledge. Key findings include: a) some replacements for regulation precluded/banned chemicals may be similarly persistent in the environment as those they replace, b) the adsorption of potentially bioactive chemicals to micro- and nanoplastics is a significant topic with risks to aquatic organisms potentially greater than previously thought, and c) micro-/nanoplastics are likely to remain of significant concern for centuries after regulatory limitations on their use become active due to the slow degradation of macro-plastics into smaller components. An interdisciplinary perspective on recent advances in the field is presented here in a unique way which highlights both the principle science and direction of research needed to elucidate the fate and transport patterns of aquatic PPCPs/ECs. Unlike similar reviews, which are often topic-specific, here we aim to present an overarching review of the field with focus on the occurrence, transformation and fate of emerging contaminants. Environmental presence of seven major classes of contaminants (analygesics, antibiotics, antineoplastics, beta-blockers, perfluorinated compounds, personal care products and plasticisers), factors affecting contaminant fate, association with plastic micro- /nanoparticles and photochemical transformation are comprehensively evaluated.

Biological Treatment of Micropollutants
Bayramoğlu, Tuba Hande (IWA Publishing, 2010-01-01)
Municipal wastewater is the main source of micropollutants which are present in the household products (detergents, cosmetics and paints) and natural excretion of humans (drugs and metabolites, synthetic hormones) (Bruchet et al., 2002; Bicchi et al., 2009). After their use, pharmaceuticals are excreted intact and/or as metabolites with feces and urine; thus are introduced directly into wastewater (Lo¨ffler et al., 2005). New sanitation concepts where wastewater streams are separated and treated according t...
HYGRIC PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT OF AUTOCLAVED AERATED CONCRETE TREATED WITH NANO DISPERSIVE CALCIUM HYDROXIDE SOLUTION
Tanideh, Gelareh; Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe; Saltık, Emine Nevin; Department of Architecture (2022-2)
The focus of the study is to uncover whether the treatment of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) surface with alcohol dispersion of calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 nanoparticles controls its high water absorption properties to some extent or not. AAC as a lightweight and porous concrete material, is well-known for its high breathing and thermal resistivity features while it suffers from high water absorption and capillary suction in exposed conditions. Laboratory analyses were conducted on four types of AAC, used ...
Spatial and temporal distribution of inorganic and organic pollutant concentrations at Northwestern Anatolia
Sarısaltık, Ufuk; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; Department of Environmental Engineering (2019)
Concentrations of inorganic pollutants including NO2, SO2, O3 and organic pollutants including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene and m&p-xylene, which are known as BTEX compounds were measured on a seasonal basis in 13 cities located in the Central and Northern parts of Anatolian Plateau. Cities included in measurements were Ankara, Bartın, Bolu, Çankırı, Düzce, Eskişehir, Karabük, Kastamonu, Kırıkkale, Kırşehir, Kütahya, Yozgat, and Zonguldak. Sampling was performed in four seasonal campaigns in eac...
LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF ACTIVATED CARBON ADSORPTION AND OZONATION TO REMOVE MICROPOLLUTANTS FROM TEXTILE WASTEWATER
Akdeniz, Ayşe Sena; Yetiş, Ülkü; Department of Environmental Engineering (2022-8-29)
To avoid potential adverse effects by micropollutants in secondary textile wastewater, it is necessary to apply an advanced treatment process, among which activated carbon adsorption and ozone oxidation are the most attractive alternatives. There is still a lack of studies evaluating the environmental impacts of these processes for the tertiary treatment of textile wastewater. Using the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, this study assesses and compares the environmental impacts of ozone oxidation and...
Pesticide and model drug release from carboxymethylceullose microspheres
Darvari, R; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (1996-01-01)
Water soluble derivatives of cellulose are widely used in various biomedical and biotechnological applications. Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose was insolubilized in the form of microspheres using aluminium chloride as the crosslinking agent. It was observed that, depending on the preparation medium pH, the spherical product could either be a microsphere with an ionotropic interior or a microcapsule. Various microspheres with different crosslinker, biopolymer, and drug (2',7'-dichlorofluorescein and aldicarb)...
