Scrutinizing pharmaceuticals and personal care products in wastewater treatment. Ternes, T., A., Joss, A., & Siegrist, H. Environmental Science and Technology, 38(20):393A-399A, 2004.
abstract   bibtex   
In the European Union today, ~3000 different substances are being used in medicines such as painkillers, antibiotics, contraceptives, beta-blockers, lipid regulators, tranquilizers, and impotence drugs. Thousands of ingredients are also used in personal care products for the skin, hair, and teeth. After being consumed or used, most of these chemicals—and their various metabolites— make their way into the environment, mainly via wastewater. Thomas A. Ternes at the Federal Institute of Hydrology in Germany (BfG) and Adriano Joss and Hansruedi Siegrist at the Swiss Federal Institute for Environmental Science and Technology (EAWAG) describe the problems and recommend possible plans of action for treating wastewater.
